I have said before there's no such thing as a bad video game, but there are such things as evil video games

and hoo doggy this is an unnerving level of evil

still thinking about this article today. so many societal ills are caused by people white-washing what actually happens. it's awful to see games do it too.

can't wait for cozy domestic violence simulator or cozy kkk simulator

If games were a hundred dollars I legally would not be allowed to buy them because assets over 100 dollars count against SSI. So there lies my opinion on the matter.

I think I say this every time, but I just love how you work with light. every piece you put up here, it's what I notice, the way the light bounces and glows. I particularly love the shine through the jelly in this one, and the reflection on the tray is so well done!

Dr Luke Steubenstein 👹 @lukesteuber.com · 12d

If we attach a turbine, they can power millions of homes

David Simon, the writer behind The Wire and The Deuce (and a former journalist for the Baltimore Sun), finds only the blackest humor in Weiss's ascent to the top of the news heap. When asked for his perspective, Simon replied via email, "Murrow and Cronkite have both interrupted their peaceful mouldering, and are now revolving at such speeds that never mind the affront to televised journalism
—we need to consider the geologic risks to us all."

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

They know they are ridiculous people and the thing they hate most is being laughed at. They want everyone terrified and intimidated by how MANLY and LETHAL they are, not laughing because they got got by a grating frog.

This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

so yes, this does do something actually

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

yeeeeeep I find dragonriders of pern basically unreadable now (sexism, homophobia, a SHOCKING amount of eugenics) but dragonriders and the tower and hive novels are also embedded in my DNA and cannot deny that Lessa and the Rowan both had a huge impact on how I portray women.

was struck by sudden inspiration to paint everyone's favorite hot boy with watercolors 🎨
#art #watercolors #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt

a shoulders-up watercolor portrait of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role. he is depicted as a young-looking slender drow with light gray-purple skin and short white hair. there is a silver ornament hooked around his pointed ear, shaped like a small leafed branch. his shirt is filled in with almost black purple ink, allowing his face, neck and right hand to stand out; the hand is up by Essek's face, the fingers touching his lips in a pensive gesture as he looks off to the side. the background behind his head and in the upper right corner is sectioned off and filled in with the same ink as his shirt, balancing the composition and providing a dark backdrop for Essek's light hair.
