"In keeping with the WXLT practice of presenting the most immediate and complete reports of local blood and guts news, TV 40 presents what is believed to be a television first. In living color, an exclusive coverage of an attempted suicide."

Mob violence is pretty much never acceptable but god does it feel so fucking good. It is the heroin of group activities

[parkchanwoohoo]

Like I'm being lighthearted but genuinely, it feels SO. GODDAMN. AMAZING. To be in a large group of people who are all wailing on a single person you've decided deserves it? Incredible fucking feeling. Nothing like it. You feel like you're in a fucking superhero team. Astonishingly hype.

But also I think it's important to keep that in mind, like, you're probably doing this bc of adrenaline. That person probably doesn't deserve it. I feel like it's important to admit when you're doing something not because it's Correct or justified but because it just feels good

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

trying to play peekaboo with my child but he's a European diplomat:

me: where'd daddy go?

baby: we must articulate a post-daddy vision of strategic autonomy

me: peekaboo!

baby: my historic relationship with my father is stable despite recent troubles

happy pride month

I like in rpgs where if you don’t romance two of the characters they start romancing each other instead. You think you’re the only fish in the sea

My next Black History Month request:

Pick one of James Baldwin's works and read it!!! The Fire Next Time is an excellent essay, most of us are familiar with the quote on gay white people from The Last Interview but not the rest of it. If Beale Street Could Talk even has a movie!
