The time has come, all shall bow to the mighty Turret!
Come my brothers and sisters, join the Cult of Turrets
I've been looking into the recent GameStop (stock symbol GME) saga, including lurking in reddit/WallStreetBets. I'm not gonna write my usual lengthy explication, supported with references and quotations, 'coz I'm busy. But I want to warn you ponies not to go ape for GME.
I saw this comment on Reddit, and I thought it was worth sharing:
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, this kind of cynicism was referred to as the "reverse cargo cult" effect.

The Cult of Emeritus!
Unlike the previous one, this one's a short snippet from an original work that I'm writing
The dream was the same as the one before. Blurred, red and violent. Citizens of Crestfall ran around screaming, some of them missing a leg, others missing an arm. He didn't just see the carnage unfold, he was the one behind it. Whether they screamed, ran or even tried to defend themselves, they could not stop him from carrying out the Blood Goddess' will.
Yes, I am still alive! My inactivity has been due to college and this game called Overwatch. But don't worry, it's mostly been college.
So, I have a short story (6 chapters long) in the works. It's about Starlight's techniques in convincing ponies to join her cult. I have quite a bit of it written thus far. Here's a part of the prologue:
Cave Johnson here and I just want to let it be known that here at Aperture Science we take Science Heresy extremely serious. So if you hear any of your fellow employees say that what we do here in not science then please inform the nearest security post and well send them to the Test Track as our next test subject!

Anyway, new story out. Click here to read it.
Last Laugh
As he sat upon that throne and laughed, there was time to think about what came before his anarchic reign.
I had a dream where Pinkie was going to infiltrate a Cthulhu-like cult because their beliefs were similar enough to the ones she was raised with that she could fake it.
I will now spark the cult of Blab.
Worship me as your lord and senpai, peasants.
Finally! A new chapter of Discord Doesn't Even Want a Cult!
It's not much, but it's useful filler.
Expect more regular updates now that summer is in session.
Also, presenting... da da da da! New cover art!
Created by the ever-talented Mix-up, this new art features Discord, Twilight, and Spike in their disguised forms. Great thanks to them for the awesome work!
"All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain, we can be like they are
Come on baby, don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand, don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly, don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
