Having a really bad writer block? Staring at your work in crippling anxiety?

I have the solution for you!

Get hooked on game (Slay the Spire), accidentally play for 4 hours (you were just taking a break), panic and realize its 5pm.

Now run to work!

Adrenaline+guilt= inspiration✨

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

anyone else notice that the west took a turn for the worse once the concept of signaling one’s own social virtue became derogatory, almost as if cynically deriding all displays of charity and good will is indicative of a deeply cynical and nihilistic society capable of collaborating in genocide

her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Best analysis of Tron: Ares I've seen, and its from my comment section.

A comment from Jessie's review of Tron: Ares - "TRON is a movie about unionizing your workplace. TRON: Legacy is movie about the tools of fascism. TRON: Ares is a movie about... how hard it is to be tech billionaire running a Fortune 500 company, I guess."

This is also why all the cringe dance parties, even the inflatable fursona suit ones, matter. Because that is not what these people want and giving them what they do want is going to go badly for everyone involved.

Man they were banking on mass civil unrest because now they’re getting desperate and looking more ridiculous by the day.

Texas National Guard troops to Illinois? We gotta send troops to Portland?

This is ridiculous. It’s almost like they’re saying “please riot”

Pathetic.

A book cover against a blue background reading COMING FEBRUARY 17, 2026. The book cover shows a blonde-haired human New Capenna shield mage in the robes of a first year Strixhaven mage-scholar, casting a domed shield around herself. The school is behind her.

The last ceasefire was broken by Israel hours into the agreement.

The current "peace" plan *may* end the immediate bloodshed & let needed aid in, but it's no roadmap to Palestinian sovereignty or liberation.

Sanctions, divestments, & embargos against Zionist occupation are still required.
