"came back wrong" what about Came Back Afraid. You used to be brave. Too brave maybe, defying the odds at every turn, a fighter, cocky, playing with fire, first to throw yourself at the enemy. Until one day it all caught up to you. You came back, somehow, but now you know all too intimately how it feels to lose, to die, to be destroyed. Now you flinch and freeze and cower at the slightest provocation. Who even are you now if you can't be brave? The grave may have let you go, but the mortal fear still grips you tighter than ever.

I hope he’s having a good time in Elysium

everything you made will end up broken.

“One Big Self: Prisoners of Louisiana” (1998–2002) by Deborah Luster, this series of photos were captured in three different Louisiana state prisons. Luster spent six years to produce an archive of formal inmate portraits, printed using silver gelatin emulsion on metal plates.

can’t find anything that provides much more detail about the medium choice except that it’s ‘reminiscent of 19th-century photos’ but it absolutely has to be intentionally evoking portraits of slaves. the whole collection is stored in this cabinet as a part of the piece:

which looks a hell of a lot like a reference to historical archives. where you might find old photos of slaves.

I always kind of assume everyone who follows me is vaguely liberal so whenever I find out one of my followers is insanely bigoted I just get vaguely gobsmacked like are you lost

there's this ask that's been sitting in my inbox for months and i simply can bring myself to delete it

WAIT

I JUST REMEMBERED HEARING AN ELON MUSK QUOTE WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT HOW HE BELIEVES CHESS IS "TOO SIMPLE" OR WHATEVER AND HE SAID HIS FAVORITE GAME WAS A GAME CALLED "POLYTOPIA"

I JUST REMEMBERED THAT IVE PLAYED POLYTOPIA

It being Elon's favorite game (or at least one so important to him that his biographer dedicates a lot of time to it) is.....really really funny.

Basically, imagine Civilization, but as a mobile game. So like if Civilization Revolution was even more dumbed down (that's a Civilization insult. That's devastating. It's devastated right now). For what it's worth, it's not a bad game. On the contrary, from what I could tell in the little bit of time I played it, it's a perfectly competent game with good design. But it's not a deep game by any means. I played through it once, won easily on my first go, then saw that the other playable characters had barely any differences between them.

Like, not to imply you can judge a book by its cover, but here's what it looks like

I came across an article by Dave Karpf discussing this exact thing, and I think it describes it wonderfully
