@TensionFilter @no_scooters @PokerPolitics If God washed their feet, they would complain to the manager to get Him fired for not smiling.

@veryultraviolet @kathpreolinae I'm sorry, Violet, people in your replies genuinely seem to think you're denying trans women a feminine number of ribs

@kathpreolinae and hrt is different from getting a surgery to obtain an unrealistic body type that supports the patriarchy

i understand that some people have dysphoria but i also think that sometimes maybe you should not get a psychotic amount of ribs removed and try to love the body you’re in

@Jervis_F00 @veryultraviolet @kathpreolinae Can you check for me real quick how many ribs women have

@veryultraviolet @kathpreolinae literally the meme

Timothy Snyder doing a 17-tweet conspiracy thread on Trump and Iran without mentioning Israel once

CIA watching Trump say this on the record to a reporter:

@GotownedU90175 @Inhumansoflate1 But they're the Kurds and the other guys are the CIA. We know how this ends!

@AlexChaircheck @Inhumansoflate1 I’m not giving them the “poor Kurds got tricked again” benefit of the doubt. They purposefully want to destabilize the region to do an Israel style takeover

So I was right . Anarchists from Syria helped the CIA try to overthrow the Iranians government.

@trefinedAura That's why fanfic and not superhero comics is the modern Greek mythology. It's people telling and retelling the same stories and refining them. Imagine if Homer couldn't get the rights to Athena so she couldn't show up in the Illiad

fanfiction as a pseudo-genre is residue of intellectual property

The pilot is completely fine. Yes, he walked 110 miles and crossed several mountains while mortally wounded. Yes, he's back home and safe and sound and enjoying life and proud to have served. No, you can't see him. No, we can't share his name.

This is why it is important to have nukes. And if have nukes, make more nukes. And have intercontinental missiles. Then put the nukes on those missiles. And more importantly keep them paired, ready, hidden but operational even in the case of decapitation strikes. But most importantly, select and put the most patriotic and uncompromising hands in-charge of those nukes with the ability to counter strike. So the crazy adversary knows no matter how battered and how leaderless, the country will rain down a nuclear holocaust on them. What I'm saying is, just having some nukes and ICBMs needing five people's authorization to assemble a strike is not enough these days. The enemy must know it will happen anyhow. There's no escape from nuclear hell if sovereignty is breached beyond a point. A world of crazies needs crazy preparation and crazier posturing for a country to not be consumed by it.

If I ever read Gene Wolfe and it’s actually good I will be so mad

@sesquimundist @pachabelcanon Vance is so weird, the dryest, most cynical guy to ever write about fairies

@pachabelcanon jack vance!

Science fiction authors who write good prose: Gregory Benford, Roger Zelzany, Cordwainer Smith, Theodore Sturgeon, Alfred Bester, Robert Silverberg, J. G. Ballard, Iain Banks, James Tiptree Jr, Dan Simmons, William Gibson, John Brunner, Samuel R. Delany, Kim Stanley Robinson...

@humantransit @pachabelcanon true, but let me tell you a little secret about James Tiptree Junior...

@pachabelcanon A few more women deserve to be on this list: Ursula Le Guin, Ada Palmer, Jo Walton, Doris Lessing, Octavia Butler ...

@NornQueenKya The best version of this joke is still in Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash, where they introduce a water cooled Gatling railgun called Reason. And then say the line, "I'm sure they'll listen to Reason."

@hueoops Time to rediscover Imperator: Rome!

I have a craving to play a paradox game but they’re all kind of like in a poopslop state rn

@yengyosi_ "Is a historical guy" is a sliding scale. Like King Arthur was a historical guy, he just wasn't named Arthur, didn't do the things attributed to him, and is a bunch of welsh warlords merged together BUT HE IS A HISTORICAL GUY

"jesus wasn't a real guy" is such cope tbh (i say this even as a communist) bc obviously a historical jesus was not the son of god and prophesied messiah but there's enough to support that a 1st century apocalyptic prophet crucified by the romans categorically did exist

Bro really thinks he can kill the Shroom in a way that matters

hiiiiii it's me! a classic centrist liberal! i'm here to log on and remind you again i have no vision for a better future! everyone who hates me is actually stupid, and the more i tell them that, the better i feel! this is working! i am the good guy?

Oh god. The "committing genocide made me sad" movies are coming.
