Save The Great North TV Show
The petition to save The Great North has like 1000 signatures which is crazy. I have to imagine there's more people than that who want to save this show.
Please its such a good show. Sign the petition and share this. And if you've never watched this before go do it now. Its so wholesome and cozy and funny. If you like bobs burgers you'll love it.
Christofascism, a term coined by liberation theologian Dorothee Sölle, is probably the best word that can be used to describe the sort of reactionary politics that is breeding in the United States. Christofascists effectively describe Christians that operate through their paradigm of religion in order to implement fascist ideology into policy. Christofascism is not limited to fundamentalists, "extremists," nor evangelicals, but can be found in several different denominations.
You can discover your favourite band when you’re in your late twenties. You can meet your best friend when you’re in your thirties. You can finally accomplish a life goal when you’re in your fifties. Your youth isn’t the only time frame where amazing, life-changing things can happen.
Robert Pattinson as Batman makes sense, because vampires turn into bats.

It’s bullshit
words cannot describe how little cryptocurrency means to me. i'd rather learn about the history of a mechanical pencil.
Is it just me, or is there some Leif Eriksson/Harald Sigurdsson energy going on in "Vikings: Valhalla"?
I 100% believe in them
Is anyone going to speak about this here??

excuse me, mark!?. did he just give away a spoiler? (no complaints, though). just praying to the gods that he means finan is married to eadith. 🙏
I guess it’s something that we learn during the first episode? And it’s something most of the fan expected, it’s probably not that much of a spoiler! Especially when he had teased Finan settling a few months ago already ahah
I am really not complaining either! It makes me so happy :’)
Hey btw, if you're doing worldbuilding on something, and you're scared of writing ~unrealistic~ things into it out of fear that it'll sound lazy and ripped-out-of-your-ass, but you also don't want to do all the back-breaking research on coming up with depressingly boring, but practical and ~realistic~ solutions, have a rule:
Just give the thing two layers of explanation. One to explain the specific problem, and another one explaining the explanation. Have an example:
Plot hole 1: If the vampires can't stand daylight, why couldn't they just move around underground?
Solution 1: They can't go underground, the sewer system of the city is full of giant alligators who would eat them.
Well, that's a very quick and simple explanation, which sure opens up additional questions.
Plot hole 2: How and why the fuck are there alligators in the sewers? How do they survive, what do they eat down there when there's no vampires?
Solution 2: The nuns of the Underground Monastery feed and take care of them as a part of their sacred duties.
It takes exactly two layers to create an illusion that every question has an answer - that it's just turtles all the way down. And if you're lucky, you might even find that the second question's answer loops right back into the first one, filling up the plot hole entirely:
Plot hole 3: Who the fuck are the sewer nuns and what's their point and purpose?
Solution 3: The sewer nuns live underground in order to feed the alligators, in order to make sure that the vampires don't try to move around via the sewer system.
When you're just making things up, you don't need to have an answer for everything - just two layers is enough to create the illusion of infinite depth. Answer the question that looms behind the answer of the first question, and a normal reader won't bother to dig around for a 3rd question.
This is good advice on worldbuilding.
And also.
I would really like to play a vampire-hunting sewer-nun and her pet alligator in a ttrpg.
Woops uh oh oops woops.
I can’t imagine the balls it takes to be a Russian anti-war protester right now. Good for them.
#i hope they’re being safe and careful
Right now, holding up a sign in St. Petersburg condemning this war is the textbook definition of “neither safe nor careful.”
But they’re proving to anybody in Russia who thought they were the only ones who opposed this war, that they’re not, and reminding the rest of the world that a government is not the people it claims to represent, and I am deeply moved by their courage.
At least one platoon of Russian military forces surrendered completely to Ukraine as soon as they found out their supposed “reconnaissance” mission was actually a combat operation.
Anti-war protesters in Russia are the ones helping these actual soldiers realize their orders are wrong and put down their weapons. Inspiring this recognition of the monstrousness of their actions.
Protestors aren’t just doing the right thing, they’re making a huge difference in the viability of this war.
They’re crumbling Russian military morale. Their actions are directly intervening, in a way that we as westerners can only be grateful for.
And they are taking huge personal risks in doing so.
Pro-Capitalist’s defense of capitalism is just explaining how it works, and then when you say “yes I know, I just think it shouldn’t be like that” they explain it to you again but angrier this time
They say “It’s fair because the people who own capital earn all the rewards” and then you say “I dont think owning capital entitles you to all the profits” and then their brain short circuits
“He invested capital”
“Yes and then a thousand other people did work while he sat around and profited.”
“But… he invested capital….”
they literally CAN NOT FATHOM that I know how capitalism works and just oppose it on moral grounds
