In Diddy Kong Racing DS, the message when connection is lost during Download Play is "LOST ALL CHILDREN". The cartridge is internally called a "parent" and the downloaded instances its "children". While this would make sense to the developers, it has the potential to confuse or scare players.

Trump will die before the full realization of American fascism is reached. These are the birth pangs. It will get so much worse unless we do something. We should and we must.

Take stock of what this feels like, how unacceptable this is. Devote yourself to fighting it.

A sorceress astounded by her freshly sculpted homunculus. A single shaft of light illuminates her creation. Bounce lighting reflects upon the sorceress. The homunculus has a flaccid butt. The maker's hands are covered in fresh clay. They are the only body parts of the sorceress that are directly lit. Faint, residual purple smoke wisps from her fingertips: the homunculus stands in an awkward pose, that of a creature freshly adjusting to its body. The homunculus has thin limbs and a hefty torso, though it is faced against the viewer. The sorceress's workshop is littered in sculpting tools, brushes, an open tome of transmutation, ceramic bowls and a pitcher of dirty clay water in which lie a few of these tools. Clay shavings are scattered about the floor. A red, runic circle surrounds the humonculus. In the dark background it is possible to catch a few failed prototypes on a shelf.

"Birth of the Homunculus"

This painting has been floating around in my head for months now, and I only found the right time to bring it to fruition yesterday!

Being trans disqualified you from being involved or having any say at all in the nyt coverage of trans people. That was true 5 years ago, and it’s true today.

It’s the definition of prejudice.

Trans Professors comment Mel Curth (She/They) November 16, 2025 at 2:04 PM Please note that I am not deducting points because you have certain beliefs, but instead I am deducting point for you posting a reaction paper that does not answer the questions for this assignment, contradicts itself, heavily uses personal ideology over empirical evidence in a scientific class, and is at times offensive. While you are entitled to your own personal beliefs, there is an appropriate time or place to implement them in your reflections. I encourage all students to question or challenge the course material with other empirical findings or testable hypotheses, but using your own personal beliefs to argue against the findings of not only this article, but the findings of countless articles across psychology, biology, sociology, etc. is not best practice. You argue that abiding by normative gender roles is beneficial (it is perfectly fine to believe this. but to then say that evervone should act TPUSA OU

Trans Professors comment the same, while also saying that people aren't pressured into gendered expectations is contradictory, especially since your arguments reflect a religious pressure to act in gender-stereotypical ways. You can say that strict gender norms don't create gender stereotypes, but that isn't true by definition of what a stereotype is. Please note that acknowledging gender stereotypes does not immediately denote a negative connotation, a nuance this article discusses. Additionally, to call an entire group of people "demonic" is highly offensive, especially a minoritized population. You are entitled to your own beliefs, but this isn't a vague narrative of "society pushes lies," but instead the result of countless years developing psychological and scientific evidence for these claims and directly interacting with the communities involved. You may personally disagree with this, but that TPUSA OU 2

Trans Professors comment doesn't change the fact that every major psychological, medical, pediatric, and psychiatric association in the United States acknowledges that, biologically and psychologically, sex and gender is neither binary nor fixed. I implore you apply some more perspective and empathy in your work. If you personally disagree with the findings, then by all means share your criticisms, but make sure to do so in a way that is appropriate and using the methodology of empirical psychology, as aligned with the learning goals in this class. If you have any additional questions or concerns about this or would like some additional educational resources, I would be happy to discuss this further and provide you with them. 3 TPUSA OU

Additional professor Megan Waldron (She/Her/Hers) November 16, 2025 at 3:09 PM Samantha, I am the other instructor for this course, and I have also taken the time to read your paper. I concur with Mel on the grade you received. This paper should not be considered as a completion of the assignment. Everyone has different ways in which they see the world, but in an academic course such as this you are being asked to support your ideas with empirical evidence and higher-level reasoning. I find it concerning that you state at the beginning of your paper that you do not think bullying ("teasing") is a bad thing. In addition, your paper directly and harshly criticizes your peers and their opinions, which are just as valuable as yours. Disagreeing with others is fine, but there is a respectful way to go about it. That goes for discussion posts as well as reaction papers. Please employ more thoughtfulness in your future assignments TPUSA OU

idk not to mention how very nuanced and normal the actual response here was

failure of agriculture. The climate change itself with result in migration and wars, but most people will probably survive that. But who knows, I might be wrong. too many people, so many mass executions of the elderly and infirm make sense is the fundamental fact that everyone dies at some time make it imporrisbole to ask so why not earilier. if the brain discards unused neurons, why shold socieity keep their equivalent The radical idea of treating individuals in a society as cells and the society itself as a well-organized organism is fascism, or course. Probably the most efficient and rationally stringent way of governance, if

Exactly. I looked up the statistics, black kids in the US have slower cognitive development (and never catch up), which the study of course attributed to social factors without any evidence, and they had faster motor development! I suspect this means their brains are slower at learning high-level concepts, because the low- level structures are optimized for a shorter time. But they will keep the lead in motor development, because it is easier to learn, and they have more time and attention to practice once they get the structures in place.

Ooh, @bigthink.com this exchange between @joscha.bsky.social and Jeffrey Epstein is so eugenics-smeared. Contemplating using climate change and involuntary euthanasia of infirm and elderly to cull the population… I think I’m going to be ill.

IOC funding a study a year ago that showed trans women do not have an advantage over cis women in sports and may in fact have a disadvantage due to T suppression and now moving to ban trans women & intersex women while keeping israel around and starting the genital inspections anyway

So wallmart is openly selling Nazi shirts now if people are wondering about how fast Nazism is being normalized nationwide right now at the base level. (I added the arrows)

“His tone was especially unbecoming for an immigrant” is a stunningly fucked-up thing to think, let alone put out into the world. It’s nasty work, even by the Post’s standards

a year ago, I released CARTER'S QUEST, the first step in a grand narrative adventure I've been planning for over five years.

almost everything in the game was hand made by me, all of the good and the bad.

it's 35% off right now and I'd really appreciate you giving it a try

reminding you all that Jacob Frey is a racist asshole. don’t let him know peace for the next four years.

look up his statements on Moturi. hear how he talks about protesters. look at the Trumpers who fund him.

Frey is a Republican in denial.

Devastating. Teen Vogue's politics coverage has been incredible and this is a major loss for journalism.

Legacy journalism keeps on getting rid of the only people making it worth anything anymore.

Weren't there polls that said that lesbians were the group most likely to support trans women, even in England?

Lia Smith was a trans athlete and advocate who died last week by suicide. @alyssaur.bsky.social brings us this piece in her memory.

My God they've just created a machine that incentivizes every Trump staffer to break the economy (and much else) on purpose so they can insider trade on Truth Social.

Literally every insider trading son of a bitch in this regime is gonna be deliberately *increasing* volatility as much as possible.

grokipedia scrapped wikipedia and used that information and turned it essentially pro hitler and pro nazi

Invisible People > Imagine Every... & X @invisiblepeople • Follow Utah just approved a 1,300-person "mega camp" for homeless people - seven miles from town, no transportation, locked units, and even forced labor. They call it "work-conditioned housing." We call it what it is: modern-day internment. In this clip, Eric Tars from the National Show more Watch on X They Wài put up more of these 3:00 PM • Oct 26, 2025

So it’s flown under the radar but Utah just went forward with forced labor interment camps for the homeless at the direction of the Trump administration.

We are seeing the construction of the infrastructure for industrialized death and forced enslavement for those seen as a drag on society.
