you're evil like a hobbit

They got a whole cat at the Goodwill?

genuinely I'm so sick of people wanting all fiction to be ethical. can we all just get a little gross with it. the point of fiction is that it's not real. we can be unethical in fiction; same goes with being perverted with fiction, being unrealistic with fiction, and being grotesque with fiction. not all fiction has to be ethical, not every character has to be ethical, and that's okay. can we stop with the puritanism. be gross. be unrealistic. be whatever. if I don't like it it's not my business as long as we're all clear that its fictional.

jobs for people who aren't a real person?

queued for the next wednesday the 12th

happy wednesday the 12th everyone

like it's a little thing but in january of 2029 i'm gonna remember how all the hollywood movies of this era starting featuring solely straight white characters as their leads and supporting casts. i'm gonna remember the superstores that cut their pride collections and stopped putting up black history month displays at the ends of aisle. i'm gonna remember the multiple massive tech companies i worked for that killed their ERG/DEI programs and banned any social media posts about first-gen college students or women in tech. i'm gonna remember the car commerical narration that became less about the car and more about how america is for only the elite few who can "handle it'". when we've got some normie tim walz type installed in the oval office and congress is running hague-lite trials on ice agents and all these gigantic, impossibly rich entities rush back to pretending they always cared about doing the right thing and believed in the inevitable drumbeat of progress, i'm gonna remember they were the few institutions who could've survived taking a stand and didn't. they hurt our culture for the worst because they were scared of losing a tax break from a nazi wannabe fascist

i do wonder how mamdani would have solved a problem like the green goblin
