You’re right, I’m honestly embarassed.

oh, good point… OK I won’t do it, thanks for the tip!
You’ll probably never see this, but I applaud you. Isn’t that the whole point of the fediverse? You can control who and what you see, and if you ever change your mind you can easily undo it. (And I get it, everybody needs a safe space sometimes.)
I unironically love the terms “meatsplained” and especially “carnist.”
On my next date I’ma say: “I’m a Carnist… RAWR” and then click my teeth. Clear test for taking or leaving. (edit: this was a stupid thing to say.)
I kind of understand the objection, though. It’s a short step from “it isn’t manly to be enraged” to “just pull yourself up from your bootstraps.” I don’t think that’s what Marcus Aurelius was saying, but I can see how someone might read it that way.
since they are by definition far beyond our technology,
There’s always a scenario like “District 9”, which involves a spaceship full of uneducated workers in a ship whose technology they don’t understand.

I’m not sure I remember correctly, wasn’t that artist very pro-Reddit during the API protest?
According to various pages online, this represents:
July 3, 1863, the brave men of the 1st Maryland emerge from the wood line into a wall of musketry on Culp’s Hill at Gettysburg.
aka
the 1st Maryland Battalion CS attack on Union fortifications on Culp’s Hill.
It’s a little confusing because both sides had a “1st Maryland” unit at Gettysburg, and the Confederate 1st Maryland was renamed (and is often called) the 2nd Maryland. I think the relevant wikipedia page is here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2nd_Maryland_Infantry_Regiment_(Confederate)#Battle_of_Gettysburg
Johnson’s division, including the 1st Maryland, arrived at Gettysburg late in the afternoon on July 1, 1863, taking position on the far edge of the Confederate left at the foot of Culp’s Hill; the men were exhausted after a 130-mile forced march.[4] Culp’s Hill was a rocky wooded hill topped by a line of well fortified enemy breastworks.
On July 2 the Confederates attacked the hill, with the 1st Maryland, the 10th, 23rd and 37th Virginia regiments, and 3rd North Carolina regiment, all assaulting the Union breastworks, defended by General George S. Greene’s 12th Corps. The Marylanders and others were initially able to breach the works and drive out Green’s men, and they held their position until the next morning, July 3.
The morning of July 3 revealed the full scale of the Union defenses, as enemy artillery opened fire at a distance of 500 yards with a “terrific and galling fire”, followed by a ferocious assault on the Marylander’s position.[4] The result was a “terrible slaughter” of the Third Brigade, which fought for many hours without relief, exhausting their ammunition, but successfully holding their position.[4] Then, late on the morning of July 3, General Johnson ordered a bayonet charge against the well-fortified enemy lines. Steuart was appalled, and was strongly critical of the attack, but direct orders could not be disobeyed.[9] The Third Brigade attempted several times to wrest control of Culp’s Hill, a vital part of the Union Army defensive line, and the result was a “slaughterpen”,[4] as the First Maryland and the Third North Carolina regiments courageously charged a well-defended position strongly held by three brigades, a few reaching within twenty paces of the enemy lines.[4] So severe were the casualties among his men that Steuart is said to have broken down and wept, wringing his hands and crying “my poor boys”.[8] Overall, the failed attack on Culp’s Hill cost Johnson’s division almost 2,000 men, of which 700 were accounted for by Steuart’s brigade alone—far more than any other brigade in the division. At Hagerstown, on the 8th July, out of a pre-battle strength of 2,200, just 1,200 men reported for duty.[4] The casualty rate among the First Maryland and Third North Carolina was between one half and two-thirds, in the space of just ten hours.[2][4]
Have you shown your nephew one of the animated Robocop series yet?
I visited Portland as a kid in the late 90s. Everybody was really cool and down-to-earth, but one thing I noticed was how normalized outdoor spitting was. Like one time I saw an attractive person across the street, and we were checking each other out, and then they leaned over and spat while maintaining eye contact. I’m pretty sure there was no communicative intent, they just needed to spit.

Surrealism is always antifascist.
I dunno. Doublethink is pretty surreal, but it supports fascism. If you’re just talking about art, I think you could make the case that the Italian Futurists were at least Surrealist-adjacent, and some of them supported fascism.
Apparently this is a monument to the Inca nobleman Cahuide
…an Inca nobleman and warrior of the 16th century (1536) in Cuzco, Peru, who participated in the battle of Sacsayhuamán, led by Manco Inca. In one of his battles when the castle he was defending fell into the hands of Conquistador, he jumped from the top of one of the three towers of Sacsayhuamán, called Muyuq Marka, so as not to surrender to his enemies.

Reportedly the sculpture is by three brothers: Luis Alberto Yanqui Yucra, Raúl Oswaldo Yanqui Yucra, and Rodolfo Edwin Yanqui Yucra, and it was made fairly recently (source in Spanish).
The name of the sculpture is “Cahuide against the Spaniard”. Here’s a picture of the sculptors with the statue:

Something about your plans was very appealing to you. What about them gave you a sense of identity? Why those plans specifically? Try to figure that out: be very specific, write it down even, and discuss it with people. Once you figure out the driving force behind your plans, use that to guide you.
Even for the gov and business they usually don’t work out, but they realize that “plans are useless, but planning is essential.”
Looks amazing. I was a bit worried about Zack Snyder being involved, but apparently:
