Block chains as a concept are super cool. Fully secure proof of ownership? An unbreakable chain of codes? Oh, be still my beating heart.

But god. Fuck crypto and NFTs. Fuck em all.

Decentralized security systems 🥵🥵

But oh my god seriously. Why. Why did we have to use proof of work. Why did we use it to reinvent the stock market. Why did people become absolute fucking morons about NFTs. Why. Why. Why.

It just makes a lot of sense why Marcille and Laios would be good friends, really, because Marcille Will Tell You What Is On Her Mind. If she doesn't like something, she throws a tantrum. If she's down to clown, she clowns like a champ. If she has an opinion, she voices it clearly and concisely. Laios knows exactly where Marcille stands in pretty much every topic.

On Marcille's end, she's down to clown more than people give her credit for. Laios said "yo let's play with these bones and rearrange them in funny ways" and Marcille joined right in. Like, yeah, she'll want to bonk his skull in sometimes, but aside from the monster and dungeon (well, she does have this one, just differently) fascination, she's pretty much in the same wavelength as Laios when it comes to most things.

Which is cool! Because they could've made them hostile siblings in law but they are besties actually.

Scott McCloud’s incomparable “Understanding Comics”.

I swear you can open this book to any page and it’s amazing.

One time, I was talking to a history professor after class, and we were talking about Germany and I don't recall why.

I brought up how sociology has some of its roots in Germany.

And her response?

"Yes, and that's very strange because they're normally such hard working people."

At time time, my internal response was:

This was like 2010 and we didn't have the term "ok boomer" yet, so I just kind of ignored it

But.

I've got some time now.

Now, most likely, she thought I said "socialism", but it's entirely possible that she did not know what sociology is.

However, given that she clearly didn't understand socialism, even if she did know the word sociology then she probably didn't have a good grip on it anyway.

And we can toss in reducing people from Germany to the stereotype of "all hard workers", so there's that.

It was a display of a very layered, interwoven kind of ignorance.

On April 23, 1968 hundreds of Columbia students seized Hamilton Hall, holding Dean Coleman hostage. Over the following days, five buildings on campus were occupied. The occupiers demanded that Columbia stop a construction project that would contribute to the gentrification of Harlem, an end to a secret research project funded by the CIA, and amnesty for student protesters. The occupations were finally brought to an end on April 29, when the NYPD stormed the occupied buildings, resulting in nearly seven hundred arrests. In response, faculty went on strike and campus was closed for the remainder of the semester. New occupations on campus and in the surrounding neighborhood sprung up in the following weeks. Eventually the Columbia administration gave in to nearly all of the occupiers’ demands.

I. Occupations are effective because they are disruptive. The April 1968 occupations shut down the entire university for over a week. This forced the administration to concede to their demands, even after the movement faced repression.

[...]

VI. Occupations draw strength from the specter of a riot. The April 1968 occupations took place in the immediate aftermath of the “Holy Week” of riots in the surrounding neighborhood and cities across the country after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.. Campus administrators, city officials, and the police department worried that any attempt to suppress the occupations might lead to unrest in the surrounding neighborhood; Harlem might invade Columbia. An occupation today will be in a stronger position if it is similarly able to build and mobilize support from the surrounding neighborhood.

[...]

XIII. The occupations movement in France the following month showed that, in the right circumstances, struggles within the university can detonate a much wider social explosion.

To paraphrase someone else, Dungeon Meshi has a bunch of neurodivergent people hurting eachother while thinking they are doing whats right. Not even just in events, but backstory.

The attempt to claim any character you dislike is neurotypical is a bad read.

More memes about Kafka being a hot mess. I'm guessing his CV had lots of fun voicing him.

For some reason, I find this part of Kafka looking dumbfounded VERY adorable.

This shot alone can be a meme template.

It's easy to think you'd be able to do something when you know that you'd never have to actually do it.
