@alienmelon it sometimes feels like there's an immeasurably vast chasm between those of us who've had shit like this done to us, and those who continuously say they had no idea that such things happen in their world before proceeding to weaponise pity against us.

(I'd normally post this kind of thing from my alt, but fuck it)

@tautology I recently also got "we sent nudes, pls reply"† but that's otherwise a pretty comprehensive list

Related to my previous post, here's a random avant-garde black metal recommendation:

Dold Vorde Ens Navn - Mørkere
https://doldvordeensnavn.bandcamp.com/album/m-rkere

(feat Yusaf Parvez from Dødheimsgard, who is absolutely fucking hatstand in the most interesting possible ways)

There's a genre of band photo I now mentally classify as "middle-aged black metal dudes will give up their skinny jeans when you pry them from their cold, dead hands".

(It's me. I'm in the photo.)

@rolle This. Changes. Everything.

Aaages ago, the instrumental post-rock Red Sparowes uploaded a bunch of live recordings taken from the mixing desk onto the Internet Archive.

Anyway, here's a gig I was at!

Oh yeah, it's wildly improbable.
Someone elsewhere mentioned a movie plot it hoves suspiciously close to.

@MisuseCase @dshan @fesshole on the other hand: butches

(Trust me. Getting empty-headed in front of a pretty femme is very on brand. And there was a time I might have worn a dress... But dykes can be fuckboys too, is my general point.)

@mlvsnd @fesshole

Commander of the Order of the British Empire, an extremely prestigious honour that confers membership of a chivalric order handed out by the British monarch to to citizens who've done exceptional stuff for country, community, the arts and so on.

Accepting or rejecting them is the true measure of how sincere someone's opposition to monarchism is. It turns out the most people offered them are more in favour of prestige than they are in the abolition of outmoded hierarchies.

Fesshole is strongly UK-centric, which helps when searching up this stuff.

@tautology hey, saw the reg picked up the Renault Clio controller bit. nice :D

@TheZeldaZone Yeah, I make a lot of my living as a writer in a few different areas, and my general opinion of IP is "a legal structure that allows the powerful to claim all rights over my hard work, for minimal compensation".

It's not been every employer and client. But it's certainly been most of them.

Huh. It should have occurred to me that
"slide-up gamepads" was a patented form factor.

https://retrododo.com/sonys-patent-on-sliding-handhelds-has-ended-paving-the-way-for-a-retro-revival/

"Have you ever wondered why we never saw more sliding handheld technology after the Sony Xperia Play? If you weren't in the handheld or mobile business, then you probably didn't know that Sony filed a patent for the gaming handheld with a slide-up screen back in 2010, a year before the Xperia Play released. "

Capitalism was a terrible idea on paper and turned out to be even more miserably unsound in practice.

@D_J_Nathanson My favourite version of Eight Miles High right there 🖤
