Dec. 14, 1925: The constable of Uttenheim, a town in France’s Alsace, is sentenced to two years in prison for killing a boy he thought was a werewolf. Joseph Sur was terrified of the creatures and two youths pranked him by haunting hedges at night, prompting him to fire at them.

There is no way you can guess how the thread that ends in this instant classic begins.
The damned in hell are not more powerful for the fact that the fires do not consume them; it is part and parcel of their torment.

Silksong’s fascination with religion is obvious from the beginning. But only in examining the game’s conclusion(s) does its perspective become clear — this is a story about the apocalyptic finish line, a story about the end of stories. And it is also about what comes after.

As long as class antagonisms exist, people will turn to religion to ameliorate the pain and confusion of being exploited by their fellow humans. That is what Marx meant when he said, "religion is the opium of the masses." There's so much pain from capitalism, and lotta folks need some kinda hope.

For today's writing exercise I wrote the opening to a Marx x Engels fanfic and it was way too fun. My god. Is this why people write fanfics? I think I get it now

Having an invisible disability is so hard. You have to fight tooth and nail to get any accommodations. And constantly have to prove that you’re disabled. Being gaslit so hard that you start second guessing your own experience. This all exhausting…

Part of the reason I think there isn’t as much pressure around stopping ChatGPT re: suicide/psychosis as compared to stuff like Panera Lemonade is because people are inclined to blame it on mental illness versus the tech, a kind of victim-blaming mentality that fits neatly into just world fallacy

"I don't know what you said but it made me mad", another classic case of Everyone Is Twelve
"Shaka talks about decolonisation a lot, and while I don't entirely know what it is, I just know that it sounds super anti West, and feels to me that a lot of westerners are going to get hurt because of it. And if there's one thing I abhor, it's violence," she said.
