The Feast of the Gods- Giovanni Bellini & Titian, oil on canvas (1514)

There is no inherent meaning; everyone must find their own.

For me, it’s to try and leave my little patch of the world better than I found it.

Commodore 64 here, too.

First Linux distro was Ubuntu.

The most important part about learning a musical instrument is consistent practice.

1 hour twice per week is not as good as 20 minutes every single day. And you do have to play every day if you want to improve. Work on one thing at a time and most importantly: use a metronome.

Guitar is a meditation exercise: you have to learn to love the process. If you aren’t having fun, maybe it just isn’t for you.

I’m rated at a +7, so it depends on my roll.

You’re hilarious. Keep it up.

Your Beeness

It’s so fuckin’ funny when reactionaries project their insecurities onto others.

It’s just so transparent LMAO!

Yes! That was the best Wing Commander game.

In no particular order:

• Elden Ring
• Team Fortress 2
• Day of the Tentacle
• Freelancer
• FTL
• System Shock 2
• Duck Game
• Red Dead Redemption 2
• Rome: Total War
• Diablo 2

Dan Savage is the best in the biz.

Exactly.

Everyone knows you drink it.

Mountain Goats

The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton is a certified banger despite being one of their sillier songs.

That’s wild, I thought crows lived everywhere humans do.

Oh sure, I just think there’s some overlap because the cast on Dungeons & Daddies are all filmmakers themselves so they go for more of a cinematic presentation than any other D&D podcast I’ve heard.

Personally I wouldn’t play D&D again because it’s not my kind of system, but they don’t waste your time like other AP podcasts I’ve tried.

But hey if it’s not your thing, no big deal; it’s kind of a nice thing to know about yourself.

Film Reroll is a top-tier AP podcast.

If you like them, check out Dungeons and Daddies; it has a similar energy. I wish they’d guest on each other’s shows!

I walked into Katz’s Delicatessen and ordered the pastrami reuben. One bite later and I knew my life would never be the same.

Learning to write is how a person begins to organize their thoughts, be persuasive, and evaluate conflicting sources.

It’s maybe the most important thing someone can learn.

They also show him tapping a network of expertise that overlaps both with the Claremont Institute and the Society for American Civic Renewal (SACR), a secretive fraternal Christian Nationalist organization the Guardian has reported on extensively.

I thought I was pretty knowledgeable about the various fascist groups, but I’ve somehow missed these SACR chodes. Looks like I’ve got some research to do.

The right-wing is a fractal of grift, bullshit, and petty grievance seasoned with self-righteous hypocrisy where you can find fascist tactics at every magnification.

They’re just a boring-ass troll trying to get a rise out of people.

They’ve probably driven away all the people in their real life and have to resort to trolling online to get any sort of attention.

It’d be sad if they didn’t suck so badly.
