The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

i don't want to minimize any of the kinds of cruelty of this administration, but given the nature of the american justice system versus the american educational system, this harms way more actual trans people than sports bans in a way more immediate and way more dangerous manner

Paramount Calls Warner Bros. Sale Process โ€œUnfairโ€ In Blistering Letter The David Ellison-led studio questions whether the bidding has been "tilted" and suggests Netflix has been receiving more favorable treatment so far in the auction.

The conservative outrage machine is so well-oiled that any opportunity can & will be turned into an op at leisure. Thus a well-connected mediocrity can have her hurt feelings promptly assuaged by the entire state Republican Party.

Not sure if itโ€™s been longer than I imagined since Iโ€™ve played Destiny 2 but thereโ€™s a mission in the new expansion that feels way too comfortable deploying mechanics that are fit for a six-player raid and not a single person

That Snyderโ€™s been publicly pigeonholed for the past decade as a total Guy Movie director and ends up making a lesbian action flick is maybe one of the funniest cosmic jokes yet

The Beauty is based on a comic book series by Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley. In it, the world of high fashion turns dark when international supermodels begin dying in gruesome and mysterious ways. FBI Agents โ€œCooper Madsenโ€ (Evan Peters) and โ€œJordan Bennettโ€ (Rebecca Hall) are sent to Paris to uncover the truth. As they delve deeper into the case, they uncover a sexually transmitted virus that transforms ordinary people into visions of physical perfection, but with terrifying consequences.

Their path leads them directly into the crosshairs of โ€œThe Corporationโ€ (Ashton Kutcher), a shadowy tech billionaire who has secretly engineered a miracle drug dubbed โ€œThe Beauty,โ€ who will do anything to protect his trillion-dollar empireโ€”including unleashing his lethal enforcer, โ€œThe Assassinโ€ (Anthony Ramos). As the epidemic spreads, โ€œJeremyโ€ (Jeremy Pope), a desperate outsider, is caught in the chaos, searching for purpose as the agents race across Paris, Venice, Rome, and New York to stop a threat that could alter the future of humanity. The Beauty is a global thriller that asks: what would you sacrifice for perfection?

Feels like "missing" is inaccurate. This child was kidnapped by the secret police and is now either a political prisoner or a trafficking victim.

I think my whole take on Horses isn't "what could possibly be objectionable about this game?" and more "what is fucking wrong with Valve and why do they keep doing this?" Unfortunately this just isn't a new problem!

The Trump admin has paused all immigration and naturalization processes for people from one of the 19 travel ban countries; including Cuba and Venezuela.

Even people who fully passed the citizenship exam are having their cases put on hold, just inches from the finish line.
