It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

It is, as they say, pure content.

Fun fact: my last party before Covid was a double bill screening to a group of 30 intoxicated friends on my office projector: Monkeybone (Blu-Ray) and a North Korean pirated copy of Cats (the original pre-patch version), which had just come out. I fear the event might have triggered the pandemic.

Last night I dreamt a whole @rebeltaxi.bsky.social video talking about a Monkeybone N-Gage game and a short man wrestler.

…. I live such a real fantasy world.

They may have stopped funding games, but it is worth it for Palmer’s beautiful dream.

“I am glad to be working with Meta once again,” Luckey said in a blog post at the time. “My mission has long been to turn warfighters into technomancers, and the products we are building with Meta do just that.”

I wrote a graphic novel called Ricky Rouse Has a Gun and have complicated feelings about this.

David J Prokopetz @prokopetz.bsky.social · 22h

I think the basic problem with all these low-effort horror movie adaptations of recently-public-domain cartoon characters is they always make the titular character the monster. Like, nobody gives a shit about a film where Mickey Mouse is a zombie; they want to see Mickey Mouse FIGHT the zombies!

New research shows that ocean acidification has now crossed the planetary boundary. That's 7 of 9 boundaries crossed. Capitalism is driving ecological catastrophe and will continue to do so until we align production to a new law of value.

Scientists announce that 7 of 9 key 'planetary boundaries' have been crossed

A team of global scientists issued a new report on Wednesday, noting that seven out of nine of key "planetary boundaries" have been crossed. Carbon dioxide emissions have increased ocean acidification...

I’d vote for this dude and watch him beat the living hell out of the Terminator (and other Republicans).

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · Aug 19

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.

I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

Every time corporations, oil magnates etc. gulp each other up we’re reminded that they were, in fact, broke beyond belief.

EA with its 20 billion in “junk” debt, Warner Bros with 36 billion. And yet these are the gatekeepers and “leaders”, sucking oxygen out of the space.

Capitalism is a lie.

About to hop on a call in which I’ll say I’d rather walk away than continue some weird corporate tap dance.

I read Peter Thiel’s essay on Alan Moore’s Watchmen and it unquestionably proves that piss poor media literacy is foundational to this recent rise of fascism.
