Is there a good book about the history of satanic panics? I’m curious about the connection between the conservative christian paranoid reaction against horror and fantasy media of the 70s and 80s and online reactionaries’ obsessive hunt for “woke” messages in today’s media.

@atduskgreg Agree. This was one of 2022’s best reads for me; book in one hand, phone with Spotify in the other. My favorite parts were the chapters discussing his technique.
I am issuing a six-month moratorium on Benoit Blanc impressions
I’ve been part of a lot of things that have died — usenet, MUDs, so many mailing lists — but this is the only one I’ve been on that was murdered while it was healthy.
But poetic justice is the only kind we’re going to get, because as he destroys this place so many of us have loved, he'll still have won in the end.
Imagining this like a pinball status you unlock
the “permissionless” ethos of crypto feels like the antithesis of every Indigenous culture i am familiar with. permission is regularly requested from plants, creatures, weather, land, water, every relative and ancestor.
@atduskgreg @debcha I feel like Leonard’s outfits in Memento (puffy vest, flannel shirt and jeans => designer suit and dress shirt) are totally appropriate for 60 degree weather in LA
@atduskgreg Turns out their very first episode is titled "The Satanic Panic" : buzzsprout.com/1112270/388411… Couldn't find that much else, though. Here's the first /Michelle Remembers/ episode: buzzsprout.com/1112270/388389…
@tcarmody But people in Southern California wear warm clothes if it drops below 60. (I remember thinking that Buffy dressed more warmly for Sunnydale than I did for Cambridge.)
Here's a post dedicated to the cursed found-footage photo edits/ artwork that I made this year. May there be many more to come! 👻
Some of my favourite creature photos of 2022! Going to work on some new creature designs next year, while also broadening my ambitions a little / working on my rendering on both photo work and otherwise.
Some art that I'm proud of from 2022 :)
Theyre more like kinds of cardiovascular diseases
Programming languages aren't sports teams: you don't have to choose one to root for! They're more like music genres, you can enjoy more than one. I avoid language stickers for this reason. I don't want my identity to be "I'm an X programmer".
It's the remix to extinction / remade Alderaan as a fiction / Death Star destroying that rebellion / got every Moff in here quelling / Empire secured / I've got superior force without Force / it's the Tarkin Doctrine I'm about to show how it's done
@atduskgreg I haven't read these, but I've heard good things about Dangerous Games by Joseph P. Laycock & Satanic Panic: Pop Cultural Paranoia in the 1980s edited by Kier-la Janisse & Paul Corupe.
highest tier of posting does not necessarily imply the person is GOOD at posting, for the record
Making all of the information that drives your simulation extremely easy to find, parse, and search is sometimes detrimental to create compelling gameplay.
An opinion about UX/UI design that would put you in this position.
