My maternal great-grandfather fled Ireland after the Civil War ended because he was a republican fighter. Does that count?

Failing upwards: the true mark of genius.

I can read a whole coloring book in 4 hours.

Imagine believing using scuffed AI output for your work is a flex.

The Contemporary Christian Music industry is brimming with scumbags like Tait.

They just up the ante with a patina of hypocritical self-righteousness.

Youtube acting like it has anything to offer aside slop and people who think they’re philosopher kings because they play video games.

AdNauseum. Not only does it block ads but it also fucks with advertisers by sending false clicks that cost them money.

Wicca and paganism in general has always had those cornball types. Back in the 70s and 80s, every tool who renamed themselves after a cool animal and weather condition/celestial body claimed to have a grandparent who secretly initiated them into an ancient unbroken lineage of witches. In the 90s and 00s, it was appropriation gone wild with white ladies from Iowa claiming they had a lineage in closed religious communities like conjure and Vodou. Now it’s fucking deluded 20-somethings on TikTok who “godspouse” or work with Naruto characters.
