Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars series.

Just a breathtaking setting that begins with the first hundred settlers and traces the intrigue, terraforming, conflicts, and dreams of the colonists. It’s a sweeping epic written on a human scale.

“Our goal in a couple of years is for people to think of Infowars as the funniest and dumbest website that exists,” Ben Collins, the Onion’s CEO, told The Associated Press. “It was previously the dumbest website that exists.”

Except our fascist orangutan looks much dumber.

Same for MSNBC, really. Cable news is owned by people who have a conflict of interest with the working class.

It started as a fake psychiatry scam, but when Hubbard realized there were laws regulating medicine he switched it over to being a religion where there aren’t any of those pesky regulations or ethical oversight.

Weird, they just let a psycho killer be a cop? I’m sure they’ll prevent that in the future.

Tangentially related, but I just started my first real Morrowind playthrough about a week ago, and it’s great!

When it first came out I borrowed it from my brother, but I didn’t have a computer that could run it; it was just a slideshow. I’d played Daggerfall before, and Oblivion & Skyrim subsequently, but I skipped Morrowind.

It’s a bit disappointing seeing how much Bethesda has trimmed the most interesting systems from their earlier entries. I imagine that if the next TES game had spellcrafting or a deeper dialogue system then it would get a much more engaging reception over Starfield’s bland, watered down experience that has been “polished” so much that there’s nothing compelling that stands out.

Right? They were awesome.

Minestrone or Italian wedding soup are both pretty chunky.

I love you.

I’m a man and I’d never date a Republican either.

A person’s politics are a reflection of their values: if they’re willing to identify themselves as someone who validates all that fascist shit, then I want nothing to do with them.

It’s crazy to me that this take is even remotely controversial.

Because they’re certain that the people getting punished are heretics to their reactionary ideology.

They see it as inferior people getting what they deserve, and since it’s privatized they imagine they’ll pay less for the privilege.

But why?

Make the fascist fire you.

Yamaha makes the best guitar for the money.

The instrument I probably play the most is a nylon string Yamaha with a great dual pickup/mic that I got for $100 at a pawn shop. It has some cosmetic wear, but that’s a bonus in my opinion.

I’m a man, and I voted against the fascists.

Because I’m not a fragile moron who thinks Daddy Trump will make women be nice to me.

I want hammocks like a man o’ war.

Stack em three high and still have some legroom.

“Female” is fine to use as an adjective.

It’s also fine to use as a noun when describing livestock, which is why it’s a red flag to describe women that way.

He knows. All they need is an excuse.

American English doesn’t use “flat” in this way, but the UK does have the word “flatmates.”
