So I got into NYC yesterday, but woke up at 4 am this morning; my first stop was my favorite place to get a proper capuccino, Zibetto - so I set off around a little before 7 am. I passed an apple store and noticed folks standing in line which was a little surprising, but I didn't think much of it.
They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
If you recently came across the Zephyr TTRPG and are on the fence, here's 3 video reviews that tackle different needs really well in my opinion First of all, @cozyrpgreviews.bsky.social 's review, is a great all-rounder intro to the themes and mood of the game! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjiT... 1/3
Nice

You're doing the lords work with this one. Perfect meme.
this meme has lived rent free in my head and i can't find it on the internet again so i just remade it. slight volume warning
I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.
It shook me that white man at Fox News was allowed to say all homeless people should be killed. On live TV. I WAS homeless a decade ago. The isolation you experience after being cast off by people is why I refuse to speak to anyone who knew me back then. It’s unforgivable what the homeless endure

Just very weird to follow politics knowing that there's going to be a recession that'll make everything we're talking about feel like it happened in prehistoric times.
Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives. Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like. love you all 🤍 ↓ www.instagram.com/reel/C9qppva...
I want to enjoy these games. I love Digimon, I think the battle system is pretty okay, but there is something about the story, probably the pacing, that makes me want to tear my eyes out before I ever get past the intro. And I love the persona series, the king of long and slow intros.
It all goes back to Palestine. I genuinely believe that once the media accepted that they should deny the most documented & easy to witness genocide ever, the truth in the west was destined to die as well You would think media that lived through the search for WMDs would know how dangerous lies are
Imagine in 2025, after all the times Black women warned literally everyone about everything that’s happening right now, announcing that Black women commentators are just very paranoid When we have been right???????? This whole time????? About pretty much everything????????????!

It won't be nearly as fun as blindly reacting without a single thought, but I guess I could try.
A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.
May Trey Reed rest in eternal peace and may the bastards who lynched him never know a moment of peace for the rest of their pathetic lives.
A 21 year old Black Man was founding hanging from a tree in MS and local law enforcement doesn’t seem to give a shit. Does the name Emmitt still ring any bells? Black people DO NOT hang themselves from trees, even if they have suicidal ideation. We know the trauma that causes other Black people
On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city. This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.
Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.
I feel like the antidote to nostalgia is novelty
Its just mepis, simply mepis.
I just think that it’s bad if bipartisanship means adjusting your own noose so as not to appear uncooperative in the eyes of your executioner.
When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

So when white males do it, it's not a terrorist threat. Got it. The legacy of Charlie Kirk laid bare.
Not saying it's proof in either direction but he probably did pick up the reference from HOI4 or associated memes.
I've been immersed in some pretty left wing spaces, both online and off, for the better part of the last decade and Bella Ciao has never really crossed my path. It's definitely historically left coded but I don't think it's in the current American left wing zeitgeist.
Doesn't the super earth gov call the bugs fascists in game? It may not be an actual voice line but its still in line with the game's universe.
this is biggie and tupac for people whose rural hospital is about to close
I have CRPS. 10 years ago the diagnosis was usually "lady who is insane". These days I am what they call "textbook". Medical science continues to advance, pretty rapidly at that. Runaway technology has been bad for many things, but the advances in healthcare have been enormous.

If ICE is mocking legal South Korean detainees with slant-eyed gestures, you'd think (1) Congress should do something and (2) what is this org going to look like in a year?
In a civilized society, a person who suggested murdering unhoused people would be forever shunned
Since itch is STILL down, probably not a bad time to plug this guide for setting yourself up with a web store sandypug.school/2022/11/14/l...
“I’m convinced gen z is gonna save us from all this shit” No. They are literally just desperate to experience an even remotely normal life that they’ve been told about but never actually seen.
We still do computer jokes, see? hard-drive.net/hd/politics/...
It dropped into the low 80s for a week and I thought we were saved, but that was just god playing a fun little prank I guess.
China just told the US to fuck off and they will now be getting their soybeans from Brazil, leaving US farmers near bankruptcy thanks to tariffs. That stresses me out so bad economically
Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. Trans people are people. Trans rights are human rights.
guys i think we all need to get good with the fact that debate culture is not and never was geared toward arriving at knowledge that is simply not one of its goals
Happens every time the shooter is White. Every damn time. So predictable, so exhausting

I would say "oh wow looks like maybe normies are about to learn what Groypers are," except let's be real. If he's a Groyper the occupied media is gonna memoryhole this whole embarrassing affair as fast as it can rearrange the typeset

You're quoting terrible journalism that is misquoting police interviews. The family member that told the cops that the shooter wasn't a fan of Kirk said that they (the family member) also disliked Kirk because he was full of hate. The shooter hated Kirk because Kirk was to his left.
per today's WSJ article on the shooter archive.is/yMdef
Guys it's ok. He only called for violence against gays and trans people and declared the Civil Rights Act a mistake for the money and power.
Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative
Helldivers PR team I believe in you. Thread the needle. You can do this.
There is a type of guy who commits crimes like this, and that type is almost never "orthodox marxist-leninist attempting to be the vanguard of a revolutionary movement". Much more common for it to be a "looked at computer too much" guy
Here are the _public_ email addresses for the reporters and the standards editor listed on the WSJ site. Standards editor: David.marcelis@wsj.com Journalists who wrote the article: james.fanelli@wsj.com sadie.gurman@wsj.com Politely and peacefully demand a retraction and an apology.
They're just going to let this story die like they always do when it turns put to be the usual suspect.
For anyone keeping track it looks like it was right on right (and white on white) violence again. Like it is practically every time and yet no one with any sort of platform will question their culture. No one's gonna ask where his father was. No ones gonna start pathologising white right wingers.
listen i don't care what your political affiliation is. if i'm ever giving a public speech trying to downplay the dangers of something, and that specific thing kills me literally mid-sentence, you'd better laugh about it because that is objectively funny.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.
Gila needs a fridge! Ours just died and we've got food to save, including the baby's! I'm running a short sale on itch right now to raise funds. 10% off everything, or $100 for the whole collection. Every bit helps, thanks! itch.io/s/160089/gil...
“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind
The last thing I’m gonna do is worry about oppressors using the actions of one person as justification to continue doing the harm they were already doing anyway.
I feel for his family but I don't, and in a week probably nobody will, really care. He was a pointless evil cog and violence was the only logical end of his rhetoric.
Been thinking about where I stand on the Kirk killing and my thoughts are: His murder was pointless nothing will get better for it. He had people that loved him and probably did the occasional good thing. That being said he worked his entire adult life to make sure these things continue to happen.
The punchline here is well worth clicking the link
If you think 10 year olds look like op I think that says more about you than it does her.
I lost like 1k rosaries to picking up the beast crest. They really shouldn't auto equip new crests without a way to change them nearby.
Yes we're definitely over standardized. Testing should be diagnostic not the sole determinant of educational success.
people say dems didn't go after the epstein stuff before the election to protect bill clinton, but it's probably more likely it's because a dem consultant who has lost every race he's been involved in said it would look too mean
I usually miss out on these because I pick up games late, but I can now proudly say I beat the real Moorwing to all the plebs who beat the slightly less hard Moorwing.
I tried to work my depression out through my art but these animals kept getting in the way.
cop unions may as well get their chuckles in now because when we do reconstruction 2, they don’t survive and neither do their overtime timecards
My sis gave me an envelope with, “Not to be opened until 2027” on it. Inside was list of reasons why I cannot be trusted to follow simple instructions.
TEN MILLION HP PLANET kinda popping off RN thanks to a nice comment on Reddit about it. Def one of the best things we've ever made, huge shout-out to @jnb.art, I kinda think of this as her game cause gd look at it sandypuggames.itch.io/ten-million-...
People often frame ‘the tent problem’ as an issue of the left’s overcommittiment to purity but I think more should be made of the fact that capitalists have made the party so bereft of actual values that a consistent origin story of Republican mega donors is that they were blending in with Democrats
I will die for Sherma. This little one will see the summit.
Its Skong time baby!

You actually are. If you get into a head on collision without a seatbelt your body could be a threat to anyone in your car and potentially the other person's car if you're launched through the windshield.
Writing my #1 (first) post about visual design trends. Stay tuned for bad research, worse jokes and analysis that should've stayed in 2010's Facebook groups. it will be followed by the first set of royalty free graphics for patrons, and a related design guide So throw money here maybe
Loyalty to any posting platform is stupid. I’m not laying down my life for my Favored Company, I’m going wherever I can say “kush got me feeling like the white Tony Soprano” and right now that’s Bluesky
You probably couldn’t make Life Of Brian today. I mean, for a start, it’s pretty short notice and even starting at this time of the morning, it’s probably pushing it to get it done in a day. I don’t even have a camera and nowhere is open right now.
How's that working out for Labour? From my perspective on the other side of the pond it seems like that strategy is just a quick way to turn your party into the thing you hate and normalize the right wing more throughout society.
You know who desperately needs third spaces. Teenagers.
I know that, do the dishonest people dedicated to destroying our country know that or care? Does the reactionary low-infomation voter know or care? If not then there is no difference between starving and food insecure in the political realm.
wild how the biggest predictor of job security right now seems to be if your job is just being a huge piece of shit
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
