doctor: go see pagliacci, the great clown, and laugh away your troubles

Was there a tool to auto-delete toots past a certain age?

I'm pretty well over media that's Super Excited about the aesthetics of fascism.
Overthinking Meatpunks
Anyway I really like the way the game (so far) treats fash as a sort of undifferentiated background radiation. Dangerous but not *interesting*.
Overthinking Meatpunks
For the game to decide to write it as "[slur]" does a couple of cool things. It makes it seem like the exact word chosen isn't really important, but is instead one just thrown out there with the vague sense that it applies to the target. Fash don't care whether their slurs are /accurate/.
It also echoes the real-world sense of bigots being kinda worthy of eyerolling? Dangerous, sure, but also fucking tired and uncreative and not anything we haven't already seen before
Overthinking Meatpunks
So I actually super appreciate the decision to elide the exact slurs the fash are shouting at you?
When a lot of media portrays bigots it seems like they feel some vague obligation to shock the audience with the bigotry, to show just how nasty it is.
But for Meatpunks having an audience of queer/marginalized people, we already get it? There's no need to be in our face about it.

"Cockpit" by Hadi Jalali. It's almost like a colored sketch, and yet the shading and coloring and subject matter are so perfectly executed that every time I look at it, a part of me is instantly transported to that ship.
I fucking love it and I can't get enough of it. ♥️

@starkatt "yo bro is it safe down there in the woods? yeah man it's cool" (the official title of the piece) by Tomislav Jagnjic. The title is just so perfect. And it makes me smile every time i think about it.

@starkatt "The Little Blue Horses," by Franz Marc http://www.franzmarc.org/The-Little-Blue-Horses.jsp
when I was in grade school, the local library had a thing where you could check out paintings (reproductions, I'm pretty sure) and hang them or whatever for a while and then return them, and meanwhile they'd display a selection of them in the library, and one of them was this picture. it *fascinated* me. I still like it very much.

@starkatt Haseltine's "Natural Arch at Capri". When I saw it in person in a museum, I was floored, and just stood there staring at it for something like fifteen minutes. Before leaving the museum, I came back to it and sat down and just stared.
