“There is no such thing as ‘safe’ Socialism. If it’s safe, it’s not Socialism. And if it’s Socialism, it’s not safe. The signposts of Socialism point downhill to less freedom, less prosperity, downhill to more muddle, more failure. If we follow them to their destination, they will lead this nation into bankruptcy.”

— Margaret Thatcher, 1976

Pixiv artist 'tomo'


How is it that I’m the only person following this artist? Seriously, the Grea pics alone ought to be worth a few hundred.

Update

…never mind, Pixiv doesn’t display how many people follow another user, it’s how many users they follow. So, tomo only follows userid #11, aka Pixiv itself. I could have sworn there was a way to display follower count, but the API call that’s supposed to return that in pixivpi3 just returns your own followers. Maybe they locked it down.

I think this is the opposite of using a tinfoil hat to block the mind-control signals…

Surprisingly, the “Kenneth” attack may not have been an example of Dan Rather’s hobby of making up phony news stories; someone who later murdered an NBC employee claimed responsibility.

In reality, not many stories have 25 fully-fleshed-out characters in the first place, but in the ones that do, they’re generally too busy being part of the story to wave their diversity checkboxes in your face.

Unless the writer sucks, of course.

Update

In fairness, this is a teenager, so he still has a chance to avoid a future in Tumblr’s SJW Vortex.
