this is true everywhere that fascism is in ascendancy. put forth leftist policies. they will win.

The perception of an inevitable fascist victory in Europe is largely just the wishcasting of mainstream media publications saying that fascist victory is inevitable. See how the BBC spins National Rally's loss.

they told you about the impossibility of covering a song already being perfect, but a few brave men and a drum machine stood up against that merciless law

Other than Hurt by Johnny Cash and any version of The Sound of Silence, what are your favorite cover versions of famous songs?

Mainstream Democrats roll out a complicated means-testing alternative, the whole thing gets bogged down, and then the Republicans end up winning anyway because the Dem candidate goes to the same country club as the governor and refuses to “stoop” to attacks.

tapping the sign that AI models functionally see words with the same amount of letters surrounded by similar words as the same. It’s not a thing that understands anything. You can give it talking points and it’ll repeat them but any attempt of it to expanding on a point is wildly inconsistent

Also known as “training your replacement.” 😩

Last day to vote in the Crit Awards! If you're so inclined, VOID 1680 AM is up for Best Solo TTRPG and could use your vote. It's the very first category. Vote here: bannerless.games/crit-awards

I gotta be honest if you’re under 30, your opinions mean nothing to me. Especially about clothing.

Some Millennials in my timeline are insecure because Gen Zs are telling them their ankle socks age them. I can't stress enough that you don't need to care about what a bunch of 20-somethings think about your clothes, mainly bc you don't have to care about what ANYONE thinks about your clothes.

Brain Changes (20 Books That Influenced Me)costak.wordpress.com A thing floating around on social media recently has been a thread of the 20 books that influenced/changed you. I didn't feel like doing a whole thread, but a list works better. Now, this isn't my 20 ...

Gene Wolfe was Catholic.

I tolerate Catholics because their nightmarish religion produces great art as kind of a runoff, but Protestants? What's the point?

To roughly quote Harlan Ellison responding to questions about why a character did a thing in his ST: TOS script: “The same reason anyone does anything — because it seemed like a good idea at the time.”

I adore Halloween. It starts on October 1. Dilution does not make something better.

I feel like you can just be goth. Feeling like this is a long workaround based on the assumption you can't be goth
