It's the "old people" part that is perfect.

U.S. citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents about children gathering at bus stop, lawyers say Lawyers for Carlos Jimenez said he was in fear after an agent threatened him with chemical spray, then pointed a gun at him.

They Went on a Hunger Strike for a Gaza Ceasefire. What's Next? "Every day that we don't get to a ceasefire is another day when Palestinian men and women and children will be killed."

and fwiw I first interviewed Mamdani two years ago at this point, when he went on hunger strike outside the White House for a ceasefire in Gaza

I have only rarely worn heels irl โ€” itโ€™s the tomboy in me and the clichรฉ difficulty of walking in them โ€” BUT I legit love the extra few inches in height

If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up.

"But what about fraud?" My sibling in red, white, and blue, THE PENTAGON HASN'T PASSED AN AUDIT IN YEARS AND MONEY IS FAKE. I don't care if too many people have food assistance.

LOL I can dig it. After becoming enamored with Aphra, I requisitioned special high-heeled combat boots

(Itโ€™s also so โ€œ90s comicsโ€ that I can appreciate it ironically as well ๐Ÿ˜…)

Also! In this panel it looks like I am uncharacteristically wearing stiletto high-heeled boots! ๐Ÿ‘ 

That would be one way to explain my early iterationโ€˜s โ€œtoweringโ€œ height (ie: taller than a stormtrooper), but lmao

Cropped comicbook panels, first one vertical and jagged edged, overlaid atop rectangular horizontal one. Close up of Imperial Tolvan ordering a retreat by saying โ€œpull back!โ€ Then a wide shot of Tolvan wielding dual blasters shooting at something off screen, as the troopers in front of her also fall back as their ranks are decimated by blaster fire.

As someone who never gives up, it's fitting that it took me so long โ€” sloppy! โ€” to find a comic-book panel of my calling for a retreat of any kind!

I hope the extra hour was worth it! I shan't order chronometers to #FallBack again until next year!

Israel still blocking most Gaza aid as military carries out more attacks Gaza Government Media Office says just 24 percent of agreed aid allowed into Gaza since ceasefire deal came into force.

Fascist #Israel continues to bomb #Gaza and is only letting in a fraction of the aid necessary to stop starvation of Palestinian people. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/11... #IsraelFascism #GazaGenocide #StopIsrael

This week I had someone tell me they're not worried about SNAP being cut off because "that's illegal, so it's impossible Trump could do that, so obviously it's just media sensationalism." Another person told me they weren't worried about ICE because "they can't detain you if you're legally here."

The truest thing anyone has ever said On Here is @prisonculture.bsky.social's bang-on statement that most Americans simply do not know what's going on. And people continue to equate "illegal" with "impossible." (If you doubt that, read my mentions.)

Said this elsewhere, but for me none of S3โ€™s shorts had the devastating emotional impact & aesthetic verve of S2โ€™s ScreechEdโ€™s Reach โ€” the best of the Visions shorts overall imho. (Aauโ€™s Song and In the Stars were the other two from S2 that top my overall list)

Appreciate Blackโ€˜s concept, but itโ€˜d have benefited from greater removal from the source material & a greater focus on the trooperโ€™s POV. Cool visually but meta too often, referencing the speeder bike chase etc, when more scenes like that glimpse of a romantic memory would have been more powerful

Right? I enjoyed S3 fair enough, but for me none of the shorts reached the heights of S2. And I eagerly anticipated the follow-up to Ninth Jedi, but found it just ok. Pleasantly surprised by The Lost Ones, as I wasnโ€˜t as big on Village Bride (apart from its finale) despite liking F a lot overall

I teared up at some point in each of the S2 shorts I named above. Aauโ€™s Song had so much going for it. Love the art direction, the musicality, canon compatibility, the tangible tactile โ€œfeltโ€ aesthetic & strong characterization in such a short runtime

I hear that. Was just leading w what I liked about this season. Overall I liked S2 just okay. Though it had its moments, it just didn't have the emotional heft & aesthetic verve that Season 2 had for me. LOVED S2's Screecher's Reach, Aau's Song & In the Stars. Can't say I loved any of S3's shorts
