For what it's worth, I genuinely do find local politics a more viable field at the moment than national politics in regards to the US.

Fucking Harry S. Truman got why this shit was a problem.

I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign. (May 17, 1952)

I'm rapidly growing obsessed with Battle Mania. It's a better Dirty Pair game than the actual Dirty Pair NES game

Anyone have any advice on just kind of hating people in general less? I look at people, I know they’re huge on religious doctrines and societal models I have no place in, and I just can’t see any good in them worth considering. I try to go outside and connect with people, but everyone looks like a 4channer, or someone two slights away from becoming a 4channer. I can’t restrain the fear or loathing. It’s like the past twenty years have reduced my very capacity for compassion and my capacity to respect anyone period to molten slag.

Heteronormative society and all who uphold it fucking blow, but I’m expected to keep it in my pants re: how and when I take it out on them.

C.M. Ralph's Caper in The Castro (1989); Likely the first game rooted in LGBT culture, can be played online for free (archive.org)

To run the HyperCard stack: Start up the page's emulated mac, open the "Disk" disk, and double-click the icon. I wasn't sure if this should go here or in games...

Programmed by CM Ralph in 1989, Caper in the Castro is likely the first LGBT game. It was distributed via BBS, and is 'Charityware', with the designer asking players to donate to the AIDS Charity of their choice.

You are the world famous lesbian private detective, Tracker McDyke. You are searching for a kidnapped drag queen, Tessy LaFemme. What you didn't count on was stumbling onto an even larger and more treacherous crime.

The game was changed to different locations and a heterosexual them released under the name "Murder on Main Street". This version is located here.

It's not even always a reading comprehension failure, sometimes they realize the real intent and just kind of do what they want with the material regardless. Authorial intent doesn't mean dick much of the time. Hell, when John Carpenter straight up said They Live wasn't about The Jews on Twitter a few years ago, his replies immediately ended up full of people who just kind of said it was anyways

Yeah, that's the part that sits badly about this whole angle to me. What, I owe a bunch of completely detached motherfuckers success? They sure seem like they're barely bothering to show up. If I was halfassing my job this bad i'd've been fired a year ago.

Doing something like that's no small commitment, that's for sure.

The whole respectability politics thing makes me actively want what's worst for the US and Americans at large sometimes. What, everyone else get to be boorish shitheads and i can't even fling a turd or two back at them?

How did they end up like this, anyhow? It's weird to think there isn't more animosity towards the guys who shot at their great-great-granddads or whatever.
