fittingly, the main “apostle to the goths” who translated the bible into gothic (their language), was called wolfilas or ulphilas, meaning “little wolf”. he is supposedly the man who developed the gothic alphabet (to translate). theres also a place in antarctica named after him.
some may find this interesting, as this was the 300s AD he was basically at least slightly arian / subordinationist (putting Christ fully “under” God the father and the holy spirit “below” them, if i remember correctly) + even wrote up his own document, a creed, explicating this

as this is the most epically boring thing everyone is trotting out to beat with a stick now ill happily take a contrarian position. past a certain point in the history of visual culture you cant really fully dismiss things as being “just commercial” or meant to sell something.
suppose the most solid position to take here for an online discourse would be that all video game art is also meant to sell something (the video game), so, in order for this to be a cohesive position u have to say that any emotional reaction to art meant to sell something is bad
you could even take it further back and say, so, any art commissioned to put forth something is dumb now? or is it just bad to see it as embodying a vibe that youd like to partake of. because i dont smoke cigarettes but this image rules. qualitatively its in the same department:

walking a dog in a small town / suburban area manifests a perfect [government / community / social practice] though experiment. everyone walks their dogs. the dogs all need to use the bathroom somewhere. yet, all property is owned by specific individuals. [...]
you can try and have your dog just go at your own house but realistically at some point on walks the dog needs to go to the bathroom somewhere. this is an unavoidable problem. yet, there is really no social protocol for what to do here. its a grey area. [...]
would a random person mind if my dog happened to pee on their lawn? i wouldnt really care if someone did that on my lawn. i feel like, it happens, i get it. yet, im not totally confident that others feel this way also. i guess it would be reasonable if they didnt. its their lawn.

baja blast mountain dew is made from mesoamerican jade that has been turned to liquid in a furnace, hence the name (and color) Image
theres even a jadeite version and a nephrite version ImageImageImageImage
for this reason, several years ago UNESCO quietly banned mountain dew from operating in places with rare or in danger jade artifacts or deposits (for example, most people are unaware that there is jade from places such as italy and poland). ImageImageImage

last week of moving. lost track of what day it is. woke up surrounded by boxes. cut off from my creative station i have resorted to announcing my posts to random passerby. drawing on the street in white chalk and inviting pedestrians to come look. look. i must get back in action.
at so called parenting class other less refined adults recoil at my statement that i will dig a small harmless punishment divet and place my boy into it if he fails to use classical proportions when building with blocks. thats fine. they are not part of the spiritual aristocracy.
got the wifi modem moved out of the bedroom. woman on the phone asks what the “reason” for the move is. presumably i am not required to volunteer this information, but i do. “my wifes pregnant. im trying not to microwave the babys brain, u know?”. she is “not familiar with that”.

usually i try and stay positive and not point blank call someone an idiot but these tweets are like an hour apart
the anti-federalist papers were published anonymously also. people arguing anonymously using fake names was in some ways actual the genesis of the country
the eternal anon. as apple pie
