Fun fact: I worldbuild. Not for any particular story. I just like creating worlds, cultures, and languages.

Pepe, /r/frenworld, and "why do Nazis keep appropriating otherwise innocent shit?" rant/miniessay 

It's a deliberate strategy of forming (from scratch, or by taking over) innocent-shaped, clearly differentiable, fascist-controlled spaces that they can lure not-yet-fascist people into by

1. tempting them to look with "that's ridiculous, that innocent-looking stuff can't possibly be fascist",

2. tempting them to join with easy-to-enter/-participate, genuine community,

3. and then also sprinkling fascist ideology, often obscured by a layer of layers of symbology/indirection so that it's not immediately visible without investment in the community

Interesting TILs about sumo wrestling 

TIL that the top ranking sumo wrestling referees are expected to resign if they make a call that is overturned by the ring judges.

It is customary and expected that their resignation will be refused by the sumo commission and they keep their job, but in rare cases of repeated or especially egregious errors, this resignation is accepted.

If I had to "resign" every time I made a mistake and had to hope my boss would go "Naw we still want you", I'd be a nervous wreck.

Then again I'm hardly best in my field.

Anyone wanna start a really bitter software co-op where we let our disgust at both ourselves for being in tech and the hatred of the megacorps seep into every single bit of marketing material?

If I do this to you, I'm really sorry. I'm trying not to act flippant about stuff, I really am.

Bad habits I need to break 

Saying "obviously" when I'm trying to explain something to someone who doesn't know about it. Like, gods fucking damn, brain! You're explaining it to them *precisely because it's not obvious*! Stop saying "obviously"!

We *need* more stories where friendship is portrayed as important and equal, ones *without* making it a competition between friendship and romance where one has to win.

It's sad that TNG is the only example I can think of.
