Apple Talk / Re: Open Bar: Subpoenaed by Co...
Last post by Faust - Today at 02:04:16 PMPoliticians were able to adapt, and are courted by that loathsome group that say
"We will take care of you" like the human trafficking tate brothers and multiple others who get "cancelled" then become part of the a-team of the far rright. Conor Mcgregor in Ireland is the most blatant example we have here. Loses a civil case on rape, immediately runs for president on anti immigration policies
Its such a nasty insidious pipeline and rendered movements for social change vulnerable.
I hate using this comparison with Ellis. His behavior was scummy but nothing compared to these guys

Last post by MMIX - Today at 11:35:52 AMIf you bitch about politicos they use it to generate "sound and fury" and then get their "friends" to look the other way while they bank the profits that accrue. If you are a writer . . . well, ask Gaiman how good his "brand" is atm, and in your own words " from what I can see [Ellis's] comic career has dried up. "
My point is that for whatever reason there no longer seems to be any comeback on politicians. Maybe there never was and I'm just hankering for the good old days when actions and missteps had consequences . . .

Last post by Faust - Today at 10:32:22 AMWe dont, but writers are easier targets. They do it to deserving billionairs who just laugh and spit in their face

Last post by MMIX - Today at 08:39:00 AMYep. I love how we have become societies where we demand higher standards of personal behaviour from people who write comic books than from politicians and presidents or attorneys general . . .

Or Kill Me / Re: Fuck you.
Last post by trix - Yesterday at 10:19:57 PMThough the death penalty isn't enough. I want to do it myself. I want him to see my face and know I am the one hurting and killing him. I want him to know that it is me, who considered him a brother, who protected and carried him for 30 fucking years through his endless stupidity and irresponsibility, who always had his back no matter what it cost me and what I had to sacrifice for him. I want him to fully understand that the only person in this life that was always on his side, that did more for him than I've ever even HEARD of one person doing for another, is the person ending him.
I have learned that nobody, literally fucking nobody, can truly be trusted. That the person you are the most absolutely sure of can, for no fucking reason at all, do the most utterly evil fucked up heinous shit to the ones you love. I have learned that karma is a bullshit concept invented by idealistic fuckwits that lack perspective. I have learned a lot from that fucking worm, and I desperately want to show him what I've learned.

Or Kill Me / Re: Fuck you.
Last post by trix - Yesterday at 10:11:57 PMIt's just, maximum fucked.
And everyone tells me they can see the despair and grief on my face every day but they're wrong.
There's probably a huge pile of emotions underneath but on top of all of them, overriding them all, drowning everything else out, is heavy powerful rage.
The calm, slow, considered, depressed appearance is not sadness, it's control. Because what is inside of here is murderous.
I've never ever considered revenge justified. I've never believed in it, and viewed it as petty.
I have changed my mind. If a certain scumbag murderer were not already locked away and safe from me, I absolutely would kill him and I would take my time doing it.
I know it's not healthy to fantasize about torturing another human being as often as I do, and it kills me that I have let him change me so completely, and I recognize that my thoughts these days would have horrified the innocent fucking moron I was before, but there is nothing else in life I want more than for that one specific piece of shit to suffer horribly and then die.
Unfortunately, Wisconsin does not have the death penalty. Which is something I used to be proud of, and now really regret.

High Weirdness / Re: Still Think "Skynet" Is On...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - Yesterday at 05:08:14 PMI'm sure "Skynet," or whatever it is eventually named, will make use of this:
As per this article:
"Scientists have used artificial intelligence to design complete, functioning viruses with genomes never seen before in nature — a breakthrough that could open new avenues for fighting drug-resistant bacterial infections."
Given the primitiveness of human nature, "complete, functioning viruses with genomes never seen before in nature" will be utilized for far less noble purposes.
And so, the Great Filter has acquired another new feature.

Last post by Faust - Yesterday at 09:25:44 AMYep, people have voted with their wallets.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we got him"
The problem is I dont agree with the court of public opinion on this, and think the end result is stupid, and shit.

Last post by Doktor Howl - Yesterday at 01:56:30 AMQuote from: Faust on August 07, 2026, 01:54:57 PMYeah, its not great, I dont think him going into semi retirement helps anything. If what he had done was worse like gaiman, or say if he was like someone in a position of authority over people like a publisher I wouldn't want to see them work again, but is just miserableHis reprints are not selling, so I am unsure what the problem is.
