Here's a wordplay themed photo from the Malbork Castle. :)

Image shows a view of the Malbork Castle western outer wall of the High Castle with the dansker in the background, on the foreground is a XIX century wooden bridge with railings and roofing connecting the wall with the Middle Castle walls. In the middle of the photo is a black cat walking towards the High Castle wall, illuminated by the morning sun shining above the dansker gallery.

To be honest, they just stole an idea from the Extended Universe books.

Do they still have any money left after nft's and crypto? ;)

If only one side ceases to fire, was it ever one?

Kot (he/they) @bibliotekot.bsky.social · 1d

We're going to be deathly honest here. We can't wait till someone kirks that piece of nazi shit.

It always sadly comical when they have a very proper local name.
Like our nazis having very Polish ones, like "braun" or "mentzen".

Wait, aren't parent's cousins considered aunts/uncles in most cultures? In Polish they are. It's a matter of level, not depth.

It's only libel if you can afford to sue them. :/

Kot (he/they) @bibliotekot.bsky.social · 2d

Well, it was "written" by megahitler...

@danielharper.bsky.social, @timescarcass.bsky.social, you're going to enjoy this one. One of the Polish parliamentary libertarianazis just got caught red-handed stealing a bunch of stuff from Ikea.
Including a frying pan, because nazis have a soft spot for Swedish steel. ;)

We can explain. They administer this test to everyone during basic psych evaluations. It's a baseline that lets you see if there's anything neurological there before you start therapy or other kinds of testing.

We're team octopi. Let them run things, they can't be worse than humans.

Kot (he/they) @bibliotekot.bsky.social · 3d

Highlight of the day for us. We listened while filling out paper catalogue cards at work, but we'll take a second pass later as well.

Kot (he/they) @bibliotekot.bsky.social · 3d

Our experience as well. And sadly, people usually attack us for pointing out stuff that needs a minuscule amount of self-awareness. They might be lacking something...

Well, it is outright nazi imagery...

We have managed to find a decent source on some etymology literally three months ago.
It's impossible to find it now.
Even when we still remember enough bits and pieces of the article that it should just pop up. Especially since it was the one source we could find (luckily it had a bibliography).

Can confirm, the degree to which research has gotten wildly harder in the last decade is huge. I'd be sunk if I hadn't compiled my massive Moore/Morrison interview database when I started Last War in Albion. That shit simply wouldn't be findable now.

I don't think we understand just how bad the decline of the Internet is to knowledge.

3 years ago, I could perform a very basic search in any engine and get an absurd number of relevant links, research articles, etc.

Today, I can perform the same search and find absolutely nothing.

Kot (he/they) @bibliotekot.bsky.social · 3d

Still. There are rare exemptions under capitalism as well.
We can literally name a company that is actually the same worker-run cooperative it was under the soviet system. It's still bringing in profits and has a good brand. But it's working against the system as a whole just as it was before.

Kot (he/they) @bibliotekot.bsky.social · 3d

Our uncles had a cheap knockoff of one with some games, mostly 100-in-1 stuff. Including a rare Duck Tales 2 cardrige. It's something we always forget to check out, because nostalgia doesn't really stick to us...

Kot (he/they) @bibliotekot.bsky.social · 3d

Oh, those still happened. There were ground-up cooperatives here and there, but pretty much every one we know of was working too well and being too visible economically and socially. So the party didn't risk breaking what works as long as they kept in line.
That was a rare few exceptions though.

We smell a new @wtyppod.bsky.social episode... ;)

We want to see Oglaf creator win a lawsuit and force them to change it's name to Cumsprite.

Kot (he/they) @bibliotekot.bsky.social · 6d

It's just a shift change at the elites in power factory.

Kot (he/they) @bibliotekot.bsky.social · 6d

For those who claim nazis were socialists, we present the very counter-argument the nazis themselves used to resolve the issue.

A long knife.

For us it's WORKER control that's the important bit. If the state is in control, the workers aren't. The "in matters of shoemaking refer to the shoemaker" is an empty platitude for us, since it came from a head of state that took control from the people they should leave in charge.
