thinking always about the digimon vs pokemon evolution chart

a chart showing pokemon evolution as going from a kitten to a mid sized wildcat to an adult lion with a huge mane, and then digimon evolution as going from a kitten to a velociraptor to a refrigerator with a chaingun.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Now, more than ever, you have to be a weird little pervert who makes art of questionable quality. You need to be driven crazy by the flesh. Because, as we all learned from Cronenberg's The Fly, the computers are not made crazy by the flesh. They can't do it like us.

Dreamed last night that Skrillex, an artist I have never listened to and am unsure if he still does stuff, released a CBD drink called Skrelax. “The ultimate in skrelaxation”. Ok

This is how I imagine JK Rowling when she posts.

JK Rowling says "ha ha.. h-heh. I won! I won!" She sits alone in the dark, bathed in the late of her computer screen. We pull back to see her in a large dark empty room. She continues "I won." Seeing the full scope of her cavernous workplace, she appears small and alone. She says, once again, "I won..."

I'll say it: I think its rly annoying and frankly amateurish that writers are constantly told their villains must be understandable or have sympathetic motivation to be interesting or realistic when all our big villains irl are in fact rich, stupid, selfish, trickster dillweeds and always have been

I am a republican, you are standing on ground so shaky to be lecturing other countries about their political systems you might as well be sinking in fucking quicksand. What is it with seppos and thinking everyone wants to hear their fucking opinions? You're not exceptional! You're just people!

Text reading "SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth."

It's taken from an interview with David Simon, creator of "The Wire", being interviewed by Ari Shapiro on NPR.

the Overture at the start of the Threepenny Opera is VERY reminiscent of Elfman's stylings. and you can hear a little "Pirate Jenny" in "This Is Halloween".

Just saw 2 Palestinian accounts vanish right after asking me for help--one a mother grieving her baby daughter who just died of starvation, another begging for help to keep her little sick, starving baby daughter alive. I cannot say what I think of Bluesky admin.

I HAD the strangest dream
the other night. Using only
the power of my mind, I was able to
force people who threatened me to
shit themselves. When I awoke, it
felt so real that I had to see if I really
did have this superpower. Being a
responsible adult, I tried it on myself
and found that I did indeed have the
power. But fear not, lesser mortals,
for I know that with great power
comes great responsibility and I will
use my newfound ability wisely. Does
anyone have any ideas for a good
name for a superhero such as myself?

If you're wondering whether or not to get a flu shot, I didn't get one in time, and I just had a fever dream where I was in the Drew Carey Show because several days ago I was on the Wikipedia page for the Drew Carey Show. You don't have to do this to yourself.
