I just got a YouTube ad of an AI woman telling me to order a free Trump coin with the engraved image of him surviving his assassination attempt. What an absolute dystopia we live in.

Because objectively, their lives will be worse off under Republicans like Trump. No matter how bad things seem already, they can always get worse, as we have seen. People are losing their jobs, people are gonna start losing access to medical care, immigrants and even citizens are being deported.

Right now, in particular, is a time everyone should be speaking out against the blatant authoritarianism and human rights abuses we're seeing in this country.

Same. I think my favorite thing about Skyrim is just how atmospheric it is. The music is amazing, and that, combined with the world exploration, is such a vibe.
Ryan's Anecdotes (@ryansanecdotes.bsky.social) reply parent
I appreciate you having Skyrim on the list. Fan boys would say that's not a real RPG. The RPG elements were for sure toned down compared to previous games, but it's still an RPG.

This brings a smile to my face. I love the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I have childhood memories of petting rays and riding on my dad's shoulders as we looked at the different exhibits. It really inspires curiosity and connection.

I know I'm late to the party, but Star Wars Tales of The Underworld is a lot of fun. I'm seeing some people online complain that it's not Andor. Look, I love Andor, and I want more things like it, but that doesn't mean that everything has to be Andor. It's okay for kids' shows to exist.

And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empires’ authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this: Try." - Nemik's Manifesto, Andor.
Ryan's Anecdotes (@ryansanecdotes.bsky.social) reply parent
And remember this, the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that.

There are whole armies, battalions, that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Ryan's Anecdotes (@ryansanecdotes.bsky.social)
"There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this, freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy.

The constant negativity and bad faith online about media have made me hate complaining just for the sake of it. It's moved me into a place of "You know, even though I may dislike this thing, I'm glad it exists for the people who do enjoy it. And I appreciate the work that went behind it."

I hate it when I hear people say things like, "Maybe I'll become a right-wing grifter. There seems to be good money in it." Promoting harmful ideas is harmful. Opinions aren't just opinions. They affect how we think and act in the world.

Racism and slavery are the biggest sins here, but it's also worth pointing out that the Confederates were literal enemies and traitors of the United States. The insistence that the US respect and honor them is asinine. Never thought I'd say this sentence, but it's quite literally anti-American.

That doesn't make much sense to me. Throughout history, many Americans were denied liberty for not having the right skin color, heritage, gender, or sexual orientation. How is guaranteeing liberty for everyone, equality, a threat to liberty as a concept?

Leftists like these unintentionally play into the hands of fascists by being single-issue and acting like what's happening in Gaza is the only issue that matters. Our country is being taken over by fascists. Bernie and AOC are doing good work by speaking out and rallying people.

First off, if you chalk up the rhetoric of fascists as simply mere "disagreements," then you've lost the plot. Secondly, Newsom didn't just talk with Chalie Kirk. He said he didn't support trans women participating in women's sports.

As someone who's currently in the process of moving from Flordia to California, in part, to protect my own rights, I'm kinda mixed on this. There are progressives in every state, and I'm glad they're fighting the good fight. But the politicians and laws, on a state level, are really bad.

A memory I often think back to was when in high school we were watching some 90s Robin Williams movie, and there's a brief moment where you see two male high schoolers holding hands. One of my female classmates turns to our teacher and class aid and blurts out, "YOU GUYS HAD GAYS BACK THEN?!"

I saw this video on YouTube to look at the comments. They were all dismissive. One top comment called it a "woke" service. Some said to keep "politics" out of church. I find it really sad when basic empathy for your fellow human is labeled, villainized, and dismissed.
