Slowly, agonizingly developing the empathy skills of a 5 year old, matt's weird egg head glistening with sweat as he looks in the mirror trying to Lacan himself to being normal.

He specifically said that he was involved because people were being mean to "his friends". drat, I wish I'd screenshotted. He's not usually self-aware enough to delete.

e: Actually, that's the tweet I linked to.

I mean, he's still under fatwa, isn't he?

edit: Like, if your exercise of free expression leads a government to declare it would be legal to murder you, your opinion on the chilling of free speech probably has some merit.

That's them, thanks! I remember now, Merlin's on the junk.

To make one last post about lady wizard writing, I need to re-read the Earthsea trilogy one day. I'd hated the ending for years, until it dawned on me I'd read it too young and there's probably more to it than (as I remembered it) my boy Ged's not-so-thrilling tale of settling down to be a middle aged stepdad.

the only thing I remember about that book is that it was really boring and then a lady got kicked repeatedly in the tits???

My advice on how to make this thread a lot better



This is always the weirdest flex, nobody cares who you have on your ignore list OP

guy from a discord on Uber killing a woman with a self driving car posted:

unfortunate way to die
what should they have done to them throw a company in jail?
the state gave them authority to test
and acknowledged the risks
so stifle technology because of dangers
ok so never build a rocket to go to space
because something could malfunction and kill the crew
how do you stop malfunctions
Testing

This has been a burning hot take in the discord for days because he's completely fine with uber just killing a woman with a self driving car

as a person who never leaves my house i've done pretty well for myself.
One passage early in The Handmaid’s Tale describes “a red hexagon that means ‘Stop’”.

Stop signs on planet Earth in 2020 are, of course, octagons.

Maybe Gilead really does use hexagons, either as a conscious choice or because the shape is traditional in their mirror universe .

Maybe the narrator doesn’t know her shapes.

Maybe Atwood made a mistake and it’s slipped past every editor and into the latest editions.

There are places online that quote this passage, and no one seems to notice the oddity of a hexagonal stop sign. It’s the last one.
