Seder with friends tonight!

"Into The Dead: Our Darkest Days" is probably the first zombie survival game ever that's made me say "Oh, wow, that is GORGEOUS" and want to play it solely for the art. Like, LOOK at these people. You WANT to help them.

Can we switch timeline dystopias from 1984 to Biting the Sun? I'd rather deal with a pleasure dystopia where we're all immortal and can change bodies at will and have to struggle with the search for meaning instead of *all this*?

People will always say they’re your friend and they support you no matter what but then they’ll say some toxic shit to you like “you have to let go of the cursed amulet, it’s changing who you are” and “don’t let its power corrupt you” all because they want the amulet for themselves

Eventually, the realization does come that the circus is one of their own making. The question is: do they own it and change, or do they grab the top hat and the cane and go full chest?

If those people were on the Enterprise, they'd be going "Captain, I sense.... tension" every time the replicator jammed.

Tuxedo Mask is only here to say "..." and detach. Meanwhile, Sailor Moon: "What did you even DO?"

The big showoff number for Fantasy Faire I'm composing so far starts off as a big band number, passes through Latin swing, moves into a waltz based on Twinkle Twinkle, and ends with a swing number based on Three Blind Mice. It's Wonderland, alright.

The 10% tariff alone is a $2500 per household annual tax hike!

‼️ HELP ‼️ Given ultimatum by the landlord to settle rent and we are still 450usd behind 🙇🏼‍♂️ Trying to calm down right now as i need to focus working on comm dues 🙏 Any form of help is greatly appreciated 🙇🏼‍♂️🙏🙇🏼‍♂️

Ok, I think Ute Lemper's version is superior to Lotte Lenya's... what a powerhouse.

Speaking as someone who’s lived and moved in hippy-adjacent spaces for most of my life: the hard truth that you should not trust most new age people as far as you can throw them

Room is covered for today, but could still use some help for tomorrow. Thank you to those reposting the initial post

In case you ever wondered what blatant market manipulation looked like, Trump is here to show you with the volatility his tariffs being set then paused has brought about.

You know it has the worst hold muzak.

You might be accomplished, but are you 'Carol Channing Getting Shot Out of A Cannon Into A Human Pyramid' accomplished?

Taoism may help you navigate the sheer chaos with a more centered stance, but it's still perfectly acceptable to go "Oh Jesus Christ can we *fucking not* for once?" under appropriate circumstances.

My leitmotif:

"I didn't care what happened to you plebes until it started touching my own pocket" is the most American thing ever. Fuck you, Rand Paul. Suddenly, you care?

So from my uniquely weird perspective after living in the UK through Brexit, being in India during Modi's demonetization, and living in Brazil when the real tanked during the Bolsonaro administration, I can confidentally say that Americans do not and can not understand how bad this is going to be.

For anyone who missed the action, I managed to record a little bit of Adobe Photoshop backlash before they deleted their post

I'm rather sorry I missed out on seeing @adobe.com collapse on Bluesky in real time. We all know that Adobe at this point is "that thing you install on your computer until @procreate.com releases their desktop app."

if I come out of this actually having been forced to understand the stock market, I'm going to be so fucking pissed

In October 1987, the Dow closed at -3.8%, -2.4%, and -4.6% over three days before the bottom fell entirely out on Black Monday, a record -22.6% Over the last three days of trading, the Dow closed -5.5%, -4.0%, and -0.8%. More of the idiotic tariffs go into effect at midnight, so ... we'll see!

the market starts tanking and loses 200 points while Stephen Miller is on Fox News (watch the ticker in the lower right corner -- the Dow was down just 50 points when the segment began)

MAGA are generally extremely ignorant, so of course they have no clue about Smoot-Hawley and the repercussions thereof. So they're getting a crash course in history right now.

To make some things clear: My 'beef' with Liana Kerzner @redlianak.bsky.social is because of the lies she has maintained for six months around the cancellation of our mutual project. I don't 'seek her attention'- an abuse tactic meant to delegitimize critics by claiming illegitimate motive. 1/3

I finished Paradise Killer yesterday, and it is an excellent game! I believe I solved the full mystery, too. Of course, at the end you have to dispense justice- and since everybody is part of an apocalyptic death cult that supports slavery and human sacrifice, well... Lady Love Dies went-

Peter Navarro on CNBC calls tariffs "a beautiful situation" next to a stock ticker showing the Dow implied open down 900 points

you know things are going well when they break out the turnip photos
