WTF happened to the Sinfest guy? I won't link to it here but he's literally writing comics about evil Jewish people poisoning the wells of Mt. Olympus. As a Hellenic polytheist, this deeply offends me. Fuck antisemitism!

Possibly the greatest use of a spreadsheet ever: a summary table of ingredients in various kinds of laksa from around the world. Check it out, and see which ingredients are found in nearly every laksa variant, and which are rare! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laksa#S...

It's perverse how the Right has moved further and further to the Right, meanwhile trying to cast the center (i.e., liberals/Democrats) as "the far Left". They love to accuse the Democrats of taking positions we WISH they would take but they never would.

I shared a post I had been struggling with for a few days now on my blog which deals with the way my approach of polytheism has changed recently. Do give it a read if you're interested in my perspective - I think it's a bit of an unusual one for contemporary western polytheists.

I love how Nirvana sang about "He is the one who likes all our pretty songs and he likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun but he knows not what it means" Meanwhile, their biggest song has lyrics like: "a mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido, yeah!"

I just finished watching Babylon 5 for the first time. Loved it but hated how a beloved religious character destroys his likability in one blow by taking his prosthetic eye out and leaving it on the dresser in his good friends' room the night of their wedding. It's played for laughs. Eww.

Once upon a time, I would have been distraught over the passing of Tom Robbins, whose novels I used to adore. However, when I last re-read Jitterbug Perfume, there was some of the most racist writing I'd ever seen that I'd somehow forgotten about. Also, he writes women in a very r/menwritingwomen

In September, 25-year-old now-former DOGE staffer Marko Elez tweeted, “Normalize Indian hate,” and, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity.” In July, he said, “Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool.” www.jezebel.com/jd-vance-mar...

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥 Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

folks really need to accept that "lawful" and "lawless" don't matter, what matters is being able to marshal and deploy force (force of capital, the force of arms, the force of a crowd...) none of the people running the country right now give a good goddamn about the law

This is just a wild prediction but I think Trump's America will look more like Franco's Spain than Nazi Germany only with evangelical Christianity replacing Franco's "National Catholicism".
