The nosy part of me that likes to know all kinds of detail is grateful for the bigger picture and not just some vague press release statement but am I just being paranoid that the media is publishing juicy stories about veterans to separate them from MAGA types? Like MAGA tends to be pro veteran but if veterans are getting pissy about the whole “constitution” thing (/s) and the regime wants to paint them as “stupid” grifters, wouldn’t this be how they do it? https://www.bangordailynews.com/2025/08/25/down-east/downeast-police-courts/mainer-allegedly-faked-death-veterans-affair-fraud-investigation/

Of course I don’t agree with 100% of what she says, but this is a great look at the big picture of how our memes got quite this dark.

I so desperately want to be able to convince Trump supporters with facts and logic and empathy, but it’s so important to remember that their ignorance is INTENTIONAL. my mom didn’t let us watch Sleeping Beauty growing up. I asked her why recently and she said, “it was evil.” when I pointed out other movies had similar themes and depictions of evil, and asked what the difference was, she couldn’t. I pressed one more time and she just said, “it felt evil to me. I didn’t like it”. same thing with dune 2: she said it was “dark”, and I was, “literally, like the movie’s lighting? Or the themes?” and she said “I don’t know” and didn’t want to talk about it more. many conservatives genuinely cannot tell the difference between “I don’t like it” and “this is evil” and they do not care to learn despite many chances

and while I’m at, this can also be true of left-leaning people!!!! please think about things. you are not necessarily smarter than conservatives and you are not immune to propaganda

The genius of Skittles is that any random handful is a great combination of flavors, at least since bringing back Lime. How could a company with such advanced flavor science swing-and-miss so hard with Tropical Skittles?

Your goal should be to get weirder with age and im not kidding. Become that odd estranged extended family member that owns a whacky home wherein a powerful magical item is kept that is the catalyst for the story of a children's adventure novel protagonist

Hopefully not estranged but maybe a little feared.

Conversations with God has been a favorite trope of mine since I was one of those weird religious kids in school. Most pieces hit differently these days, presumably because I no longer believe. This one brought back some old feelings for a moment.

“No user serviceable parts inside” yeah but… the only thing stopping me is my adhd moving on to another project before I find the appropriate tools, not some label.

Stitch markers for $620 is obscene but as art/jewelry I get it. But like … wow. That’s a lot of money for silly little things, but I guess this is what Walter meant when he called me bougie for the adorable ones I picked up at the craft fair. He just uses bits of scrap yarn.

But they look like something a hag (or an artificer? I haven’t read up fully on them yet) could turn a couple of leshies into. BRB gonna go make some magical earrings for my Changling Rogue to acquire.
