Please do whatever you can to support Alaa, Ella and Ellen. Please take the time to get to know them if you haven't yet. Please for me show them the love and care you would want in their situation.
God bless Tim Curry and his immaculate delivery of every line he has ever been given with zero hesitation.
This is giving me an aneurysm. Ftr, Scotch-Irish was a label coined in the U.S. by Irish (mostly) Protestants to justify discrimination against more recently arriving Irish (mostly) Catholics in the late-19th century. They’re all Irish.
Im sure the US has dedicated ceremony units. Im just not sure it's at the same scale as China or even France.
It's just that, from what I've been told, most countries that regularly do military parades every year, like France, have a dedicated unit that does that parade and nothing else. So they execute it perfectly every time because its pretty much all they train for.
I completely agree, I do at least hope a lot of the apparent sloppiness of that parade was a bit of a fuck you to Trump.
oh this is straightforward white nationalist agitprop
i know he's not dead but i like to think all the speculation is pissing him off and that makes me happy
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
To be fair, China has whole divisions that do nothing but parade drills on wide parade avenues. The American military trains to fight. It was never meant for this kind of display.
The House just released the first tranche of documents in its Epstein investigation. But the materials likely won't satisfy those clamoring for more info about the case. Most of what was released in the first batch of files is already publicly available.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Yesterday we visited Green Mountain Falls, CO to visit the kinetic sculpture Off the Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn. I wasn’t ready for just how dynamic it was even in the slightest breeze. Reminds me of a murmuration of starlings. Incredible artwork. It’ll only be up through October 19th.
What the study said was both FOX and MSNBC leave you less informed than more neutral sources like PBS do. That study was 13 years ago. www.businessinsider.com/study-watchi...
Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted
"But that’s not how MAGA operates. Maybe they want to be hostile to LGBTQ Americans. Or maybe they simply want to not be seen as friendly...Somebody is trying to commandeer the Pulse crosswalk to make a political point. And it’s not the people holding the chalk." www.thebulwark.com/p/desantis-d...
If you, as a politician, dishonestly imply to the public that something is possible even if you have no intention of actually doing it, then you are literally piling dynamite under society
My thoughts exactly.
"Completly abandoning our previously held beliefs will surely convince these people who dont trust us that we are, in fact, trustworthy."
I don't think you're wrong, but im not entirely sure it's a bad thing either. I feel conflicted. But you make a good point, and it's a point that should be made.
This is really happening in America. I need everybody to realize that. Keep up the relentless resistance, Jolly! ✊
Crime is literally lower than it has been in the entire life of every single non-senior-citizen American. If you are under age 65 you have never lived at a time with lower property crime rates, lower violent crime rates or lower homicide rates. Never.
Thank you for reminding me to follow him, and telling me how to find him lol. I would have hit that wall for a second.
“If those nagging woke fuckers on Bluesky weren’t so mean, my Neo-Nazi tech neighbors totally would support gay marriage!”
How did we reach a place where MAGA can threaten every minority underneath the sun, but Blueskyism is the problem? Is this more Gender bullshit?
they are basically saying, “don’t you know that you lost?!? believe something else so that you can win!”

Barotrauma is another example of a good one, but I'll save yall from another sprawling gush, lol.
Kenshi
But they have a code of honor, and are not religious fanatics, or the schlerotic remains of a former empire that props itself up on the slave trade, so I can work with them lol. We are The Pathfinders, and when we're through, their won't be an ancient library or armory we haven't cracked open. (10)
We will operate as a small, professional adventuring company, operating around or near the Shek kingdoms, as they seem to be the only semi-reasonable large power. Im mean, they're belligerent, dont trust outsiders easily, and are quick to exile their own. (9)
At least until the journey home, which will be just as fraught with peril as the trip down south. This is my first playthrough, I plan on limiting myself to 40 chars. 1 squad for adventuring, the other defending the base and doing production.(8)
Meanwhile, my adventuring squad is still down south, hunting for better research books so i can tech up, and I imagine they'll be away for more than a month still. I had to load up their pack bull with plenty of extra provisions, but im close enough to cities now to where thats not an issue (7)
Anyway, they can't defend the base themselves, so ive got a mercenary squad on retainer, and any time a bandit raid comes through or something else, i have my recruits run to the mercs for back up, and train up their combat skills that way. (6)
Light inventory* dont know what happened there.
Theyve been left to oversee production operations, train up their strength by hauling ore, and athletics by doing suicide sprints with light infantry. Theyve been keeping my income up by mining and processing ore into mats. Now, on their own, they can't defend the base. (5)
Make camp and heal any injuries. That's also barring any major crisis like someone losing a limb. Or my party getting jumped by manhunters and someone getting dragged off to be enslaved, thus requiring us to mount a rescue operation. Then theres my two recruits back at base (4)
Sorry bout that lol
Right now, I've got my most skilled fighters on a tech hunting expedition well south of my starting area and a town called the hub, and id say it would probably take a week of in game days traveling to get them back to base. Give or take a few days, depending on combat encounters and needing to (3)
As an example, right now, I've got 10 chars and a pack bull in my squad. Squads max out at 20, and in vanilla, you can have 30 squads... It's an incredibly ambitious ARPG RTS hybrid, with base building and time-consuming exploration as its too prominent loops.(2)
Kenshi, in all the best ways. It's the first game I've played that's kept up with my ADD organically. The game has constant tension. Anything could go wrong. It punishes you at any given opportunity, and it is unfair, but it's a real unfairness, world built in. Not artificially enforced.(1)
Crap these replies were supposed to be on the main post one sec
The DeSantis regime will do more to protect sidewalks from chalk than children from bullets.
The East Coast was not one big "wild" forest but a carefully and intentionally managed landscape of excellent grazing and medicinal plants in oak, hickory, and longleaf pine savannahs Native people created with prescribed fire. Only damp areas stayed unburned. Amazing bison and elk grazing.
Shenandoah Valley of VA too, along with millions of elk
With just a cursory glance, this looks very similar to what preceeded the trail of tears.
Tech people are insane
WHY WON’T TRUMP RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES TO DISPUTE THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM
We literally call it Nazi eugenics. It's precisely what they did.
Yeah given the aesthetic the guy being a Duganist would not surprise me lmao.
I know that there's sissy hypno but I was hoping that there would be something like Sissy dialectical behavioral therapy cuz I don't really believe in that Jungian nonsense

My boss told me he regretted his vote for Trump after he heard Bernie go on Roegen and talk about how immigrants are being treated. I understand the bitterness, but we can't diminish even the smallest attempts to resist what's happening to our country. Every pebble that falls chances a landslide.

This Day in Labor History: August 30, 1800. A man named Gabriel Prosser, a Virginia slave, intended to lead a slave rebellion into Richmond. Inspired by the Haitian Revolution, which Prosser moved about, Gabriel's Rebellion failed, but is an important moment in resisting slave labor!

This is Willem Arondeus. He attacked the 1943 Amsterdam civil registry office to destroy records that would be used by the Nazis to identify their targets. He succeeded, but was captured due to someone betraying him. His last words were: "Tell people that homosexuals are not cowards."
Despite the academic capitulations, media collapse, and Trump's attacks on history and race, it's now more important than ever to teach on all of these issues. So I will. I have set up an independent course to teach Race, Media and International Affairs 101 and 102 in October. Sign up here!

william hockett was a forcibly conscripted nc quaker willing to face a firing squad before helping slavers. the last line in his diary entry after deserting goes so hard the captain ordered two men to take me to the ranks forty or fifty yards away, but I did not feel free to walk in that direction
Trump wants you to forget Epstein. Or at least, trust the lady whose been convicted of the crime. My latest adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/maxwell-th...
Trump sparking a series of rolling "is he dead?" crises because he's a guy in his late 70s who doesn't want to work would be very funny.
Liberals: “We could try to DO some things to reduce gun violence; ‘thoughts and prayers’ isn’t enough.” Republicans: “Outrage! Disgrace! They’re attacking prayer.” There’s no need to be polite or defensive in response to this. Invoking faith as an excuse to shun responsibility deserves no respect.

ICE forcing firefighters to stop battling a wildfire and make them all show their papers, then arresting some active firefighters and pulling them off the line shows there's no bottom. As @aselrod.bsky.social pointedly argues, it's nothing less than an "active assault on virtue wherever it exists."
