Palantir ist nicht „nur“ eine dystopische Massenüberwachungssoftware, es ist vor allem ein Trojanisches Pferd, mit dem Peter Thiel Demokratien weltweit in ein „Nerd Reich“ umwandeln will.

I am so tired of people lecturing me on medusa and how I am supposed to feel about her when they don't even know that the version they're parrotting off a tiktok is Roman, and that gorgons have a rich symbolic history from long before the modern symbolism. I have a fucking archaeology degree.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.
NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

The term "transmedia" is an academic term that refers to properties that span multiple formats. For instance, Pokemon, with its games, TV shows, toys and books, is a prime example of transmedia.
On the other hand, K-Pop Demon Hunters isn't transmedia, because it is currently only a film. Thank you.

Mum suggested Neill after a puffin in a book when I was 'shopping around' for a new name.
Tried out Neill for a bit but it wasn't quite right. Then I looked up what Puffin was in languages that weren't German [my native language].
Boom. Puffin. New name.

I need people to realize that "FLINTA" is not a synonym for "AFAB".
There are AMAB Intersex, Nonbinary, Trans and Agender people! They are included in the I,N,T,A of FLINTA 🙄
This was brought to you by several of my classmates using "FLINTA" to only describe AFAB people who were socialized female.

Whatever Frost says, he is literally funding anti-trans efforts with his labor. That matters more than a hypothetical about him maybe using his salary for good.
I remember when y'all cut all GoT coverage because of the frequent depictions of sexual violence. It's time to do that for Potter.

But as long as there are muppets, singing frogs and boomerang fish, there's still hope.
![A text post, black font on a white background, reading: I will never love The Muppets (2011) the way I do other muppet media, I have too many issues with it from the messy script to the massive plot hole with the phrasing of the Standard Rich and Famous Contract to the music [especially the music, boy have I got opinions there -] HOWEVER. One element of the film I could never hate is Walter. Especially not now. Because right now with the closing of the Muppet Courtyard and MuppetVision 3D, we as Muppet fans are Walter. We are watching a massive capitalism machine close up and demolish a place dedicated to the work of the muppets and the muppet writers, performers and artists. We are standing here, repeating the phrase "so long as there are muppets there is hope" in our minds as we watch the last big Jim Henson [person, not company] project disappear. With all respect that is due, fuck Disney. Fuck capitalism. Fuck the mindset that the things that don't sell or attract as many people as companies want are no longer worthy of preserving and maintaining.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mp5pwlu2avipoop52wuna7zs/bafkreihl4sct6nusbbbxleftax4cv6mbd7tu2glyddwmpixpexgjconm2i)
