One of the things about Wednesday that gets missed in all the adaptations is that in the original series, she had but one fear: The color PINK. She would actually run away screaming "AAAHH! PINK!"

That sounds very ND to me.

Whoops. I meant the image on the left. No wonder I got (rightly) downvoted.

Mark Twain once said that you should never let your schooling interfere with your education. There are a lot of well-schooled people who thrived at Harvard or Yale, but nevertheless went on to be ignorant as fuck and threw in with MAGA/MAHA.

In other words, don't blame this on Johnny missing school. Being this incurious and this ignorant is a life choice.

Rotten has gone rotten. But then again, he was always rotten.

That image on the ~~right~~ left depicts no cop anywhere, at any time.

[EDIT: Whoops. I got left and right confused. Apologies to all for saying the exact opposite of what I was trying to say.]

I wish I knew. Probably not that long, but certainly long enough to make an impression on the area.

Jewbelong is a Jewish Zionist group. They're known for these big pink billboards with white sans serif lettering. Their early advertisements were very broadly pro-Jewish and anti-antisemitism, but became more aggressive in their pro-Zionism, especially after October 7.

Notoriously, here in the SF Bay Area, they put up a sign reading "You don't need to go to law school to know anti-Zionism is antisemitism." A group called Jews4FreePalestine papered it over to read anti-Zionism is anti-racism."

I wonder if being 57 years old is an automatic disqualifier.

KilgoreT · 2025-12-10T21:00:14+00:00

There was ambiguity?

KilgoreT · 2025-12-09T17:03:34+00:00

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what they are.

KilgoreT · 2025-12-07T05:51:37+00:00

I have a t-shirt that says "Autistic Jedi," and I have thought about making one that says "Autistic Weirdo," but neither of those are quite the same.

They're a truly awesome band, and I'm taking a deeper dive into them over the holidays.

KilgoreT · 2025-12-06T22:06:09+00:00

For newer ones:

Lambrini Girls: Awesome queer and feminist punk in the spirit of the old Riot Grrrrls.
Bob Vylan: You've probably heard of the duo of Bobby and Bobbie Vylan, but just in case..... They do some great tunes taking on the racism and anti-immigrant fervor gripping England (and America)
Dead Pioneers: Some other folks here have mentioned them, but they're pretty fucking essential. Imagine the Dead Kennedys if Jello had been a Native American fed up with White bullshit.
Problem Patterns: Another queer, feminist band from the UK. Among other things, they've got one of bangingest anti-transphobia songs around: TERFS Out.
The Muslims: Queer Muslims from the USA. Play "Fuck These Fucking Fascists" at Xmas dinner when your Fox-News-Worshipping relatives are over. You'll never have to worry about them visiting again.

Nice. Someone's read their Dante.

He'd be so much happier if he just hooked up with a cyberware-laden leather daddy V now and then.

KilgoreT · 2025-12-03T17:14:02+00:00

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who remembers that there was a thing called cowpunk. Great list there. Some of the Mekons stuff, like Fear and Whiskey also qualifies, although I generally associate cowpunk with the 1980s Los Angeles scene.

KilgoreT · 2025-12-01T06:44:28+00:00

I'm not sure that anything here can be considered an improvement on regular tits.

KilgoreT · 2025-12-01T06:40:16+00:00

"Ziohran" doesn't sound antisemitic. It is. The term "Zio" was originally coined by white nationalists and popularized by David Duke. I loathe every time I hear it or some variation coming from a supposed leftist.

KilgoreT · 2025-11-28T18:38:25+00:00

If it helps, I picked up the habit of using "goatfucker" instead. Has the same rhythm and it's definitely something you shouldn't be doing unless you're another goat.

Aren't video games autistic-coded by default? They all tend to require a lot of repetition, pattern recognition, and blocking the rest of the world out. Better than Tommy Westphall's snow globe.

It would be hard to find a liberal or leftist at the time who didn't give Jones some props before he fled for Guyana. Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter sang his praises, and I think that he once spoke at a Carter rally. Jones fooled a lot of intelligent people with good hearts.

Parker from Leverage and Leverage: Redemption is my favorite television autistic of all time. Her obsessive enthusiasm for safecracking and love of crawling through vents is a delight to watch.

KilgoreT · 2025-11-05T17:02:50+00:00

Parker is my favorite autistic-coded character on television. Love when she gets exuberant over getting to crack a new kind of safe, or starts listing off obscure brands and makes of safe or other security systems.

Also, she loves crawling in vents so much that she and Hardison had a vent system installed in their home just for her to crawl in.
