I Should Really Edit My Desktop Theme

A blog for anything I feel like posting. Also I should update this with about me info since mobile can't access my about page | J | queer | They/She/He (but that last one’s more out of convenience I’m some sort of nonbinary transfemme girlboy manwoman) | March 27 1991 currently 35 | <3 moveslikebucky | fixate on a lot of things but they're all pretty constant throughout just sometimes bomb tags | lichrally just stuck with this url the past nine decade plus change because "Great Vest Bro Han Solo shrugging gif" is my biggest most impactful online joke and I wasn't OP on the original post I made the joke on so I'm kinda stuck with this to link myself to it | Hi this is actually a little bit longer than my actual about page that I haven’t touched in years so thank's for sticking with it this far have a lovely day

Speaking as a childhood Harry Potter fan, the enduring persistence of its popularity including amongst adults is 100% because it is slop without substance.

It flirts with the idea of rebellion and emancipation from slavery but ultimately discredits those notions by having the rebel leader become a lead cop in the institution that was repressing him and by making emancipation seem silly.

It reflects the chauvinisms of a British aristocrat who offers an impossible narrative of an abused child escaping abuse through the purity of their Aryan magic blood. It’s a fantasy that doesn’t even pretend to offer catharsis or self-actualization, merely hundreds of pages of occasionally racist drivel about a special little boy who joins the SS after reforming them from the inside.

That’s why it has maintained such reverence - because it doesn’t actually offer a subversive story but the aesthetic of one while reflecting the conservative biases of the author. It speaks to a certain liberal perspective that is progressive only so far as the oppressed don’t hurt their feelings.

Soviet military advisor in Angola posing with an old colonial era Portuguese Mauser-Vergueiro M1904 rifle on his shoulder, 1980s

Not to quibble but that’s pretty clearly either a percussion cap or a hammer fired single shot and not a bolt action. Honestly to my eye it looks most like one of the Snider-Enfields Portugal ordered in the 1870s which would be wild

This one is for the robotfuckers in my audience. And for me, the robot in question.

I'm still thinking about the guy who saw me realize my wheelchair wouldn't fit in the elevator because he (also a wheelchair user) was already inside it and immediately quipped, "This elevator ain't accessible enough for the both of us."

theres a painting I like by a soviet painter of an enemy pilot falling out of the sky - his fate is sealed hes head down midair with a bunch of rebar below if hes not dead already - but in the moment of falling he has his arms up around his head peacefully like a sleeping kid

To me it shows a paradox - one can have compassion for this enemy as a human being only in the moment after there is no chance for him any more, if there was a chance for him hed be using it to try to destroy you

Huh. Yeah I kinda see what you mean. That's beautiful.

The reason why McConnell is currently ambiguously dead is because KY law was recently amended to state that a vacant senate seat must be filled by a special election, but previously, the duty to fill a vacant senate seat was by appointment of the current governor. The present KY gov is a Democrat, and has the means to challenge the special elections rule in the state supreme court, under the argument that it is unconstitutional to governor's power as outlined in the KY state constitution. So given the risk of a Dem appointee who would become an incumbent to challenge, or a special election race in the middle of the Mamdani Endorsement DemSoc run on congressional seats, McConnell will remain in quantum superposition between life and death until there is no longer a risk of his republican power being challenged.

Which... you know, really is life in the American Fascist Era in a nutshell: a questionably dead or dying racist lich refusing to reliquinsh the ability to make all our lives miserable

weird how quick fascists went from “the world is overpopulated. close your legs. stop having kids.” to “pop out 3 babies right now. you have no choice. you have to. it’s your duty and your only purpose.” when they realized they might not have enough vulnerable individuals to exploit in the labor force if the birth rate continues declining

[not-those-kids]

spoiler alert: these two ideals still exist and pervade fascist spaces. and they coexist. what they mean by “the world is overpopulated” they mean there’s too many brown people. what they mean by “pop out more kids” is that they want more white people.

it’s important to view things outside of a white lense.

genuinely if it becomes a film making trend to adapt 4chan/reddit posts into movies i think we should ban the moving image

“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.”

Everyone should be aware of nitter.net

for any address to twitter you can replace the “x.com” with “nitter.net” and you will be able to browse as if you have an account. Lifesaver.

Similarly, imginn.com works for most Instagram addresses. I still haven’t found one for Facebook.
