One of the best naturally-formed Old Norse jokes slowly silted into formation by pure linguistic coincidence across time is that the famous Viking warlord whom in modern parlance we would describe as aromantic and asexual according to his description in Old Icelandic texts was named Ívarr the boneless.

American Conservatism needs to be destroyed and the Republican Party needs to be made defunct. Nothing a Conservative or Republican says whether it’s an accusation or a belief should be taken seriously.
Unions in America are so fucking liberal. I had a New York Union Organizer complain about how rough the Democratic primaries were.
My brother in Satanael, unions are the foundation of socialism. The entire function of unions is for the workers to seize the means of production. Why in the fuck was your union going against the Democratic Socialists?
Pre-1960s unions were actually mostly socially progressive, but once Nixon came into power he leaned into getting the appeal to white working class conservatives who were feeling alienated by the anti-war movement and other social changes of the era as a means of driving a wedge between them and the Democrats.
This in turn lead to things like the 1970 New York Hard Hat Riot where a bunch of construction workers were incited to attack an anti-war protest, where they beat the protestors with their tools, hats, and steel-capped boots.
So yeah, conservatives hijacked them by cynically exploiting worries about the massive social changes in the 1960s, as they knew a united front would lead to the kind of social change the guys in charge didn't want.
From then you have things like the Clintons seeing the unions as an impediment to their plans for global change and so on, and while not all unions are or were conservative, culturally a lot of them are stuck in the mindset of people who thought that Richard Nixon was a trustworthy guy with valuable points.
Satanael is a gnostic figure and not at all associated with Satanism. I am atheist and Ayn Rand is an objectivist(also atheist), a derivative of Niezche’s Nihilism. The founder of American Satanism was inspired by Rand’s take on egoism which aligns with Anarcho-Capitalism but Rand herself despised all mysticism or occultism.
Here is a thing about derivatives of philosophy: they take one aspect of previous idea and apply to their own.
Socialism/Marxism is a derivative of Hegel’s dialectical thought but Hegel wasn’t talking about Dialectical Materialism and Class Consciousness. Nihilism is a derivative of Objectivism, Nazism, Socialism, and Anarchism. None of those ideas are the same or remotely relatable. It’s very much a “I like pickles… so you hate cucumbers” situation.

genAI companies are now buying up rare and antique books so they can scan them and use them to train their AI. then they're destroying the books afterward.
AI companies are quietly obtaining rare books, ingesting their contents, and then destroying them -- even if they're exceedingly rare.
they've had to face settlements against stealing from current authors, so they'll just go for the old books now. they're also doing this so they have the only copies of rare books.
they're taking water, power, natural resources for their data centers. they steal. they're book burning, essentially. i'm just so angry, i'm at a loss right now.
"One small book seller said that in April, he suddenly went from selling no more than 20 books a week to hundreds, and he’s almost certain that the customers are AI labs, noting the random selection of the books and how they all have ISBNs. He added that his inventory is full with rare and out of print books, meaning that an AI company could be destroying some of the few remaining copies that can be found.
“I personally have mixed feelings about all of this,” the bookseller told 404. “It benefits me financially as well as by clearing out old inventory that is otherwise unlikely to sell. I’ve been well-suited for these sales with inventory from overseas and foreign language books.
From a Google search:
PISBN allows publishers, retailers, and libraries to track and manage books more efficiently. Each ISBN corresponds to one specific edition of a publication, making it essential for smooth global circulation.
Oh god. Oh god. This physically hurts. It's nauseating.
But also.
Scanning out-of-date science books is going to make your AI worse. Scanning out-of-date geography books is outright stupidity. Plate tectonics wasn't even accepted science until 1967. Two years before we landed on the moon.
Also also: language evolves. Do you really want your LLM digesting text written in a style nobody writes or speaks anymore? Try reading a newspaper from the 1970s and you'll occasionally stumble over phrasing. Now try the 1930s. And that's less than a century ago.
Not to mention the "mentally married to Roman Reigns" part which is also a great indicator of not being quite all there. Kind of terrifying how that kind of stuff became accepted behaviour.
In a place where children no longer know what safety feels like, a mother is trying to keep her children alive despite everything 💔
I don’t know how I am still holding on...
My name is Najah, and I am a mother of six children, including newborn twins 👶👶 who need urgent care every single moment.
We are living through extremely difficult days filled with fear, hunger, and the lack of basic necessities 🥺🍞
Sometimes my children go to sleep without enough food, and I stand helpless before their tears because I cannot provide milk, diapers, or medicine for them.
My newborn twins are still so fragile, and their tiny bodies need constant nutrition and care 🍼💔
But our situation has become far beyond my ability to handle, while my other children face hunger, cold, and fear every day.
For many days, we have not received any donations or help, and our situation keeps getting worse with every passing hour.
I try to stay strong for my children, but my heart breaks every night when I see them suffering and I have nothing to protect them with.
Every second now is precious ⏳
Every act of kindness could be the reason my children survive 🙏
I am not asking for the impossible — only for a chance for my children to live safely, stay together, and have hope for another tomorrow.
Please, from the bottom of my heart, do not ignore our suffering 💔
Any small donation could help me buy milk, diapers, food, and medicine for my children.
I am Najah, living with my twin children in a tent. As the tanks approached the area where we are staying, my fear was no longer for myself, but for my two little children who need safety more than anything else. All I hope for is that this danger passes peacefully and that I can protect them from being displaced once again.
Please donate $25, $50, $100, or any amount you can give 🤲
Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a real difference in my children’s lives.
And if you cannot donate, please share our story everywhere you can 📢
Your compassion may reach someone who can save my children before it is too late.
I beg you — stop here, donate, share, and choose kindness before this silence becomes another tragedy for my family.
Thank you to everyone who listened to our pain 🌸
Your kindness today could give my children another chance at life and safety.

looking for animal references on image searches has always kind of sucked but it's much worse after AI image generation technology has begun to actually past muster, which is why i always just go straight to inaturalist. can't recommend this highly enough. you get to both find out about niche species you've never even heard of and also see some really good photographs like this one
its crazy that megan thee stallion is not considered a queer artist by some people. the woman is not shy about the fact that she finds women attractive and likes having sex with them. she references it pretty frequently in her music, she made a whole song about enjoying having threesomes with a woman and a man, she made a Jennifer's Body-themed music video, she had Victoria Monét full riding her thigh on stage at a coachella, and there's literally a video of a lesbian interviewing glorilla at a party & asking who she would date if she was queer and her immediate response is "megan. megan like girls!" and then megan turns around and immediately starts flirting with the interviewer. i don't know what more you want. that woman is Bi Sexual and we should all be thankful every day for that. bi women are still bi when they wanna fuck men too you know. the fucking of men is also done bisexually.
someone PLEASE call the gay people police !!!!!!! a queer woman of color is talking about being horny for women guys please we NEED to stop this quick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
really good tags so far. also. just have to make this point:
meg's music in general is frequently very horny. when she includes her attraction to women in her music its sexual because when she includes her attraction to men in her music its sexual. she's a sexually explicit artist. you know. "your honor i'm a freak bitch handcuffs leashes" "hoes tryna get picked, i'm just tryna get dick" "mandatory that i get the head but no guarantees on the penetration" literally references pimping out men in her music all the time 1/2 of Wet Ass Pussy herself.
she very much depicts herself as a sexual subject and sexual actor in her music, someone who desires and chooses to act upon those desires with confidence and skill. and given how much intense misogynoiristic hate she gets from cishet men i think it should be very very obvious she's not faking being into women to get cis male approval!
so to assume that her talking about being sexually attracted to women and faking wanting a threesome with a man and a woman and faking having had and planning to continue having sex with women is her performing fake bisexuality to pander to straight men is laughable. and also disgustingly biphobic and racist. as with the original post, its very much an intersection of biphobia and anti-Blackness; there is no way for her to be a "good queer icon" to such people as shown above. this whole post could apply to Cardi B or any number of Black mspec artists, or just queer Black artists in general.
