One thing I appreciate about fan art for books that is at least semi-accurate is it often reminds me how characters actually look. Unless it’s important from a character or plot perspective I’ll often forget basic details of their physical description

The Biden administration should go after everybody involved in trying to overturn a U.S. election, by which I mean they should arrest everyone who participated in Bush v Gore. Brooks brothers riot = the original insurrection.

Cultural decline discoursers who hold that the problem is the obsession with the body as tool, that we are expected to revile all the carnal joys and risks of lives in order to optimize for health and fitness as instruments of market and industry vs. cultural decline discoursers who hold that the problem is a uniform and stultifying soft hedonism, where we are expected to regard the genuinely painful and difficult with uncomprehending disgust and happily embrace a life of comfortable mediocrity and vicarious consumption. Fight! Or possibly just do the matter/anti-matter thing. Either works.

list of people who i think are secretly bottoms--nooo i swear i don't think being the penetrated partner in sex is humiliating or degrading i swear! I'm not sexist I love women and cutie gay femboi bottoms. haha did i just imply all women are inherently the submissive penetrated partner? oops wellll hahaaha. no see trust me i think its extra funny when manly men bottom because its like the opposite of how it should be! Of course all women don't have to be the penetrated partner--it's hot when girls peg their macho boyfriend and make him your girly little toy--nooo i swear I'm not being homophobic when i say that fucking somebody degrades and dominates them, especially if it's a man's ass!!!--well anyways the list:
spongebob,

#Look at this list of amazing aspirational things
Exactly!
Got a write up on high modernism, or someone else's you would recommend?
I think James C. Scott is the one to coin the term? Where I got it from anyway. You can probably best understand as a) a deep abiding faith capital-P Progress and a teleological view of history and civilization, b) a cult of experts and technocracy, with academic/technical knowledge prized over custom and tradition and 'uneducated' popular opinion and c) a program of using technology and scientific organization to improve the world (which as a necessary precondition requires the world been rationalized and made legible to bureaucratic understanding and scientific optimization.
Though really I use the tag a) with a wildly variable amount of irony depending on what I'm tagging and b) mostly as, like, a vibe.
Uh, think, aesthetically: Brasilia, the Aswan Dam, the Turkestan-Siberian Railway and the Interstate Highway System - overmighty civil services and fordist/state capitalist economics - mass electrification and literacy programs as wholesale national missions - 'towers and flowers' urban design and high speed rail as prestige project - 'measuring the marigolds' and skepticism/demystification as ideological project - land reform but the type that ends up empowering technical experts and state managers as much/more than the peasant farmers - the heroic age of science - the Green Revolution - Better Living Through Chemistry - your first reaction to someone talking about 'the good old days' being infant mortality/forced marriage/smallpox/blood feuds - thinking a world where everything about the world is legible and rationally ordered as an impossible utopia and not a depressive nightmare.

Over the last week I have developed a firm idea of how they SHOULD have done the new phyrexia plot, and also why hazbin hotel has mostly good songs that are assigned and spaced terribly
This road trip has left me with strong opinions about both hazbin hotel and magic the gathering

Actual destination restaurant had a 40 minute wait, so we were tricked into going to a Chinese buffet place with thousands of 4-5 star reviews.
Quite literally every stereotype I might have had about sprawling chain Chinese-American/Canadian buffets in the middle of the suburbs have beem justified.
I have never in my life felt like more of a snobbish out-of-touch downtown cultural elite.

are kitty cats bourgeois?
Loves hunting rare birds
Violence a core part of social relationships
Will spend 16 hours a day simply reclining in decadent luxury
kitty cats are clearly military aristocrats.
