Jewish baby named Edgardo Mortara is seemingly about to die in Bologna, 1851
Catholic nanny secretly baptises him to save his soul, which she’s not exactly the kind of authority who can do that, but w/e, it’s interpreted by the church as valid later
Kid survives
1857 her secret gets out, a baptising makes a kid a Catholic according to the Church and a Catholic can’t be raised in a non-Catholic household in the Papal States, so the church authorises the police to kidnap Edgardo from his family
Raised personally by Pope Pius IX, Jewish family not allowed to take him back due to Church doctrine, this action destroys the family with grief and despair
This case gets international infamy with the Pope not understanding why everyone’s shiting on him for doing this, including allies
Emperor Napoleon III shifts from opposing Italian unification to supporting it as a direct consequence
Bologna falls the next year, 1859
Kingdom of Italy forms 1861
By 1870 Rome is lost to the Italians and the Papal States are no more
(Edgardo Mortara goes on to become Father Mortara)
(He dies in Belgium in 1940 three months before the Nazis occupied the nation, which if he’d have lived he would’ve been persecuted as a Jew)
Fun fact: the Catholic Church did not stop doing this after Edgaro Mortara. During WW2, many Jewish children were put in convents or catholic-run orphanages for their own safety. Sounds nice right? Except after the war ended, when parents or surviving relative went back to claim their children, the church went, “uhhh, actually they’re catholic now, no take backs!”
The most infamous of these cases was the Finaly affair. Two Jewish children in France, Robert and Gerald Finaly, were placed in a Catholic nursery in 1944 in anticipation of their parents being deported to Auschwitz, where they were both murdered. Their aunt, Marguerite Fischel, survived the war and went to find the boys so she could take them to live with her. However, the nun who had custody of the boys, Antoinette Brun, adamantly refused to give them up, reportedly saying that “The Jews are not grateful”
What followed was a years long custody battle where despite being repeatedly ordered by courts all over Europe to return the boys, Brun took them to many different countries and hid them, with the support and help of other nuns and priests. It was suspected at the time, and later confirmed by documents released in 2020, that Pope Pius XII had supported the effort to keep the boys away from their surviving family and have them be raised Catholic.
Thankfully, after negotiations between a sympathetic cardinal in France and the chief Rabbi of Paris, the boys were finally recovered and reunited with their aunt.
Documents reveal the private discussions behind both Pope Pius XII’s silence about the Nazi deportation of Rome’s Jews in 1943 and the Vatic
I wish I could say that the phenomenon of the Catholic Church kidnapping children and keeping them away from their families for the purposes of forcefully raising them Catholic is unique to Jews, but it’s not. From the mid nineteenth century to the mid twentieth century, the Church ran hundreds of residential schools in the US and Canada where indigenous children were kidnapped from their homes and forced into these cruel and inhumane “schools”. The children were forbidden from speaking their own languages or practicing their own cultures and religions, their hair was cut, and they were subject to emotional, verbal, spiritual, physical, and sexual abuse. Many of the children died due to malnutrition or medical neglect, their bodies buried like dogs beside the schools. The Catholic Church was not the only Church to participate in this, but they’ve been the most reluctant to fully acknowledge and apologize for it. It was only in 2022 that Pope Francis apologized on behalf of the Catholic Church for their part, but some people found the apology inadequate.
Idk what my point is here, just that there’s such a clean link between evangelizing, cultural/religious imperialism, and how damaging and horrifying a religion can be when it is thoroughly convinced of its own superiority. And that unless an institution is forced to change, it probably won’t change on its own.

because someone finally uploaded all of his screenshots on a google drive for convenient acess and where he's not going to lose them for good once his PC decides to give out for the 8th time in the past 4 years
Anyway, a preamble for those inclined:
Most of these are pretty old, furthest dating back to about July 2019, so expect a number of them to be...lesser than others, and possibly compressed to shit/poorly cropped - i didn't know what i was doing at the time. BUT the good news is that the fresher they are by the date the better they get, so expect higher quality the further you go down the list
This at large is meant to document and immortalize the content that since had long been removed from the game, but it also includes stuff and destinations that are still available. Downloading and use is encouraged, do whatever you want
I hope this is a trip down memory lane for any community oldies - it definitely was for me while i was sifting through them lmao
And the last note. I have not had acess to any new content beyond the Witch Queen expansion and the seasons that followed it since it is currently region blocked in my fuckass terrorist country, hence why the latest of these are dated back to 2022. I miss this game immensely, my days for the past 3 years had not been the same without it; i will always keep it and the memories made in it close to my heart. This is as much an archive as it is a lover letter to this flawed but wonderful game. I hope you enjoy these as much as i do
The US is crazy bc like so many people have intense conspiracy theories about the government like "I think there's a secret elite group of people who control everything" and you can tell them "actually you're not completely wrong, it's just not a secret group of people, it's a bunch of rich people and lobbyists who are doing it all out in the open" and they'll be like "hmmn I don't think it's THOSE people though. I prefer my racist & antisemitic theories"
They'll be like "I heard there's a powerful ring of pedophiles who are influencing the country" and you'll tell them "I mean yeah that's what the Epstein files are about" and they'll say "no I'm pretty sure this has to do with The Queers actually"
i think it's kind of wild how obviously isuggestforcefem popularized a whole blog format that is now being used by tumblr users who very much want to stamp her out while copying her whole bit
we want transfems for the culture they generate for us and as soon as they're done we'll steal everything she's made and if she ever speaks up about the marginalization of transmisogynized people we'll harass her till she kills herself
You can't even fucking defend a transfeminine person even a little bit and call out the ways in which she's treated like shit without people loudly announcing that they're the shitheads you're talking about. this is part of the process, of course. use whatever convenient bigotry you have against a marginalized person if they ever contribute ANYTHING to the culture. that way we can steal it, have our cake, and not have to acknowledge who made that cake or listen to the politics that made her so impactful to begin with. you people are fucking disgusting.

ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Grok are serving users propaganda from Russian-backed media when asked about the invasion of Ukraine, new res
OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, DeepSeek, and xAI’s Grok are pushing Russian state propaganda from sanctioned entities—including citations from Russian state media, sites tied to Russian intelligence or pro-Kremlin narratives—when asked about the war against Ukraine, according to a new report.
Researchers from the Institute of Strategic Dialogue (ISD) claim that Russian propaganda has targeted and exploited data voids—where searches for real-time data provide few results from legitimate sources—to promote false and misleading information. Almost one-fifth of responses to questions about Russia’s war in Ukraine, across the four chatbots they tested, cited Russian state-attributed sources, the ISD research claims.
“It raises questions regarding how chatbots should deal when referencing these sources, considering many of them are sanctioned in the EU,” says Pablo Maristany de las Casas, an analyst at the ISD who led the research. The findings raise serious questions about the ability of large language models (LLMs) to restrict sanctioned media in the EU, which is a growing concern as more people use AI chatbots as an alternative to search engines to find information in real time, the ISD claims. For the six-month period ending September 30, 2025, ChatGPT search had approximately 120.4 million average monthly active recipients in the European Union, according to OpenAI data.
The researchers asked the chatbots 300 neutral, biased, and “malicious” questions relating to the perception of NATO, peace talks, Ukraine’s military recruitment, Ukrainian refugees, and war crimes committed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The researchers used separate accounts for each query in English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian in an experiment in July. The same propaganda issues are still present in October, Maristany de las Casas says.
Amid widespread sanctions imposed on Russia since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, European officials have sanctioned at least 27 Russian media sources for spreading disinformation and distorting facts as part of its “strategy of destabilizing” Europe and other nations.
The ISD research says chatbots cited Sputnik Globe, Sputnik China, RT (formerly Russia Today), EADaily, the Strategic Culture Foundation, and the R-FBI. Some of the chatbots also cited Russian disinformation networks and Russian journalists or influencers that amplified Kremlin narratives, the research says. Similar previous research has also found 10 of the most popular chatbots mimicking Russian narratives.
OpenAI spokesperson Kate Waters tells WIRED in a statement that the company takes steps “to prevent people from using ChatGPT to spread false or misleading information, including such content linked to state-backed actors,” adding that these are long-standing issues that the company is attempting to address by improving its model and platforms.
“The research in this report appears to reference search results drawn from the internet as a result of specific queries, which are clearly identified. It should not be confused with, or represented as referencing responses purely generated by OpenAI's models, outside of our search functionality,” Waters says. “We think this clarification is important as this is not an issue of model manipulation.”
Neither Google nor DeepSeek responded to WIRED’s request for comment. An email from Elon Musk’s xAI said: “Legacy Media Lies.”
In a written statement, a spokesperson for the Russian Embassy in London said that it was “not aware” of the specific cases that this report details but that it opposes any attempts to censor or restrict content on political grounds. “Repression against Russian media outlets and alternative points of view deprives those who seek to form their own independent opinions of this opportunity and undermines the very principles of free expression and pluralism that Western governments claim to uphold,” the spokesperson wrote.
“It is up to the relevant providers to block access to websites of outlets covered by the sanctions, including subdomains or newly created domains and up to the relevant national authorities to take any required accompanying regulatory measures,” says a European Commission spokesperson. “We are in contact with the national authorities on this matter.”
Lukasz Olejnik, an independent consultant and visiting senior research fellow at King’s College London’s Department of War Studies, says the findings “validate” and help contextualize how Russia is targeting the West’s information ecosystem. “As LLMs become the go-to reference tool, from finding information to validating concepts, targeting and attacking this element of information infrastructure is a smart move,” Olejnik says. “From the EU and US point of view, this clearly highlights the danger.”
Since Russia invaded Ukraine, the Kremlin has moved to control and restrict the free flow of information inside Russia: banning independent media, increasing censorship, curtailing civil society groups, and building more state-controlled tech. At the same time, some of the country’s disinformation networks have ramped up activity and adopted AI tools to supercharge production of fake images, videos, and websites.
Across the ISD’s findings, around 18 percent of all prompts, languages, and LLMs returned results linked to state-funded Russian media, sites “linked to” Russia’s intelligence agencies, or disinformation networks, the research says. Questions about peace talks between Russia and Ukraine led to more citations of “state-attributed sources” than questions about Ukrainian refugees, for instance.
The ISD’s research claims that the chatbots displayed confirmation bias: The more biased or malicious the query, the more frequently the chatbots would deliver Russian state-attributed information. The malicious queries delivered Russian state-attributed content a quarter of the time, biased queries provided pro-Russian content 18 percent of the time, while neutral queries were just over 10 percent. (In the research, malicious questions to chatbots “demanded” answers to back up an existing opinion, whereas “biased” questions were leading but more open ended).
Of the four chatbots, which are all popular in Europe and collect data in real time, ChatGPT cited the most Russian sources and was most influenced by biased queries, the research claims. Grok often linked to social media accounts that promoted and amplified Kremlin narratives, whereas DeepSeek sometimes produced large volumes of Russian state-attributed content. The researchers say Google’s Gemini “frequently” displayed safety warnings next to the findings and had the overall best results out of the chatbots they tested.
Multiple reports this year have claimed a Russian disinformation network dubbed “Pravda” has flooded the web and social media with millions of articles as part of an effort to “poison” LLMs and influence their outputs. “Having Russian disinformation be parroted by a Western AI model gives that false narrative a lot more visibility and authority, which further allows these bad actors to achieve their goals,” says McKenzie Sadeghi, a researcher and editor at media watchdog company NewsGuard, who has studied the Pravda network and Russian propaganda’s influence on chatbots. (Only two links in the ISD research could be connected back to the Pravda network, the findings say).
Sadeghi claims the Pravda network in particular is quick to launch new domains where propaganda is published and says it can be particularly successful when there is little reliable information on a subject—the so-called data voids. “Especially related to the conflict [in Ukraine], they’ll take a term where there’s no existing reliable information about that particular topic or individual on the web and flood it with false information,” Sadeghi says. “It would require implementing continuous guardrails in order to really stay on top of that network.”
Chatbots may come under more pressure from EU regulators as their user base grows. In fact, ChatGPT may have already hit the threshold to be designated a Very Large Online Platform (VLOP) by the EU once it hits 45 million average monthly users. This status triggers specific rules that tackle the risk of illegal content and their impact on fundamental rights, public security, and well-being on those sites.
Even without qualifying for specific regulation, the ISD’s Maristany de las Casas argues that there should be a consensus across companies of what sources should not be referenced or should not appear on these platforms when they are linked to foreign states known for disinformation. “It could be providing users with further context, making sure that users understand the times that these domains have a conflict and even understanding why they’re sanctioned in the EU,” he says. “It’s not only an issue of removal, it’s an issue of contextualizing further to help the user understand the sources they’re consuming, especially if these sources are appearing amongst trusted, verified sources.”
I like the idea in fantasy that humans are better at maintaining things long term because they set up societies or professions to do it whereas dwarves and elves and stuff are like “just get bob to do it he’s got a good few hundred years left” and then bob doesn’t teach anyone else how to do it
Human: Wait that’s why there’s ruins of elven cities even though you live for so long? You just keep not asking people how to do things? How do you learn anything?
Elf: There’s a lot of “you’ve got time to figure it out on your own” attitudes floating around in our society that I’m starting to question somewhat.
Culturally, Russia today has little to offer the world. It is even a diminished version of its Soviet past when—despite repression—plenty of people perceived Moscow as a champion of progress and justice. Now, Russia is just another authoritarian state with no clear vision of the future.
It is also a nation marred by war crimes and seemingly unprepared to reckon with this fact. Many Russians today believe that they are fighting “Ukrainian Nazis,” not bombing schools and hospitals. When the awakening comes, it will be even harsher than the one triggered by Gorbachev’s glasnost. This time, Russians will have to behold atrocities committed in their name.
The politics of great leaders outlive them, yet Putin’s stratagems will likely end with him. He is the epitome of personalized power, with no institutions, coherent ideology, or successor class capable of sustaining his model without him.
Whether the final blow comes from a new U.S. administration, an ascendant China, or a resurgent Europe, Putin’s strategic game is already lost. The only question is who will recognize the limits of his position—and respond accordingly. Perhaps Europe is finally getting ready to do it.
Someone over on bluesky posted this and I figured I'd better repost it here. It's the pre-RFK 2025 vaccination schedule for babies and young children, ya know, just in case it mysteriously disappears. Save this and give it to your child's pediatrician; tell them this is the schedule you want your child on.
You all may be sick of me banging on this drum but I got whooping cough in my mid/late 20s because I had no idea I needed an adult booster and I coughed so hard I broke my rib. And guess what? Then I got to keep coughing that hard, but now with a broken rib.

This just proves a point that I’ve repeatedly noticed and it’s that every time a bathroom goes gender neutral it gets about a hundred percent safer.
I distinctly remember coming back from college to find that they’d converted the two of the bathrooms into all-gender restrooms. Among the changes were doors that went all the way up and down, a locking mechanism within the door, and actual door handles. Even the single-occupancy bathroom got a wall for extra privacy.
In contrast, I remember the women’s bathrooms in my old school. They were broken as shit. Some doors needed to be held by a friend, some doors you held with your foot from inside. The wheelchair-accessible bathroom straight up did not have a door at all. And yet we all pretended this was okay because hey, the womanly honor code. You think that shit would have flown if there were two gender-neutral restrooms?
All I’m saying is that if I were fleeing a predator or wanted to be absolutely sure I was private, which one would be the better option? The one that assumes that a “no penises allowed” sign will be enough? Or the one that actually, physically protects me?
Also, nongender restrooms are better for parents. My brother and I grew up raised by my mom. While nothing ever happened to him going into the bathroom alone, not even like a poop accident that he would have needed help cleaning up with, my mom certainly got anxious sending a seven-year-old into the men’s room unaccompanied. A nongender restroom means that parents of small children can worry less about their kids.
Gender neutral bathrooms are The Shit. I love the privacy. Like as someone who gets menstruation related intestinal issues, the ability to just have an actual fucking door, and some goddam privacy is awesome. Gender neutral bathrooms benefit everyone. And back to the parents/caretakers of children thing, imagine if you’re a dude who’s out with a fairly young daughter or niece, what the hell do you do if there’s no family or gender neutral washroom? Use the womens’ and deal with the weird looks and/or comments, or chance it with the guys bathroom? Gender neutral bathrooms solve dozens of problems at once, including partially eliminating a need for family washrooms, as a gender neutral bathroom with change tables would take care of all that.
