do we think the recent obsession with memories being related to sense of self in dawntrail is somehow connected to louisoix's desperate spell literally ripping away countless people's memories from the aetheric flucations? here's how 8.0 can still win with pre-established set-up and payoff

someone who is good at economy please help me budget this. my country is dying

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

alphinaud is not a coward because he stepped onto a garlemald warship with nothing but a vague ambassadorship to protect him just to forge peace between nations but I do think he has the energy of a boy who will not get a drink of water at night because five nights at freddys is at the fridge

It's why shame isn't a functional social force for public people any more, because "the consequences of your own actions" is broadly understood to be the Woke Mind Virus and fighting against it is considered valiant

the administration is laser-focused on making sure Americans don't get clean energy, so Saudi Arabia (Trump's paymaster) has someone to sell their oil to in 10 years when the rest of the world has moved on to solar+batteries

Democrats are going to have to educate people about how the Post and CBS and WSJ are not unbiased sources, but have been purchased and hollowed out, their skins worn by the right like Leatherface. NYT just sucks in its own bespoke way.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

twitter is currently a frankenstein combination of 4chan and tumblr. we all know this. but bluesky is a different beast that i don't think people born after ~2004 fully grasp. bluesky is a frankenstein combination of tumblr and somethingawful

@Sec_Noem on X: Chicago, we’re here for you.

If you showed this tweet to James Madison, he would be like, "yes, this is why I wrote the 2nd Amendment"

this is not "the Internet was a mistake" bullshit. it is more "you broke the deal"

the political and legal assumptions that allowed social media platforms to emerge over the last two decades did not assume they would become mouthpieces of a single person with a very clear agenda

if Kash can go back years and fire people for kneeling or displaying a pride flag the absolute least the next Dem admin can do is fire every one of these assholes who are assaulting people on camera

(and then prosecute them)

like, i don't really know how to adequately express the anger that i feel watching this video. not showing your face, lazily teargassing random people on a neighborhood street without getting out of your car - the image says more about these goons than i could articulate bsky.app/profile/clan...

Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles illustration by Ryoko Kui (Delicious in Dungeon) for Weekly Famitsu No. 1915:

I'm skimming, but this paragraph stood out:

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

This is fucking horrifying.

“The son in law of the man exercising the powers of the presidency is a pass through for Saudi money to buy American media companies, among other things” is both true and mostly unremarked on.

Also good morning to everyone who finds joy in watching squirrels.

If you want a picture of socialist utopia, imagine three adults who had insane simcity save files as kids arguing about disbursements long into the night.

most definitely.

In truth, neither Congress nor the executive can claim to represent the undivided will of the American people. It is arguable whether such a thing even exists in the American system, as the public is not a single entity but an ever-shifting set of groups and interests. Congress represents the American people in their diverse and fractious unity, and the president represents a will of some of the people, briefly assembled for a fleeting purpose, to dissipate until it forms anew in the next election. It is simply a conceptual error to think of democratic legitimacy as a grant embedded in a single person. It’s better to see it as a relationship between our political institutions and the publics they serve, each responsive to the other as they work together to do the business of government.

me: and give them this too

waiter: lovely frog, sir

coming from ogre battle, it was so exiting that canopus and lans were the ones giving that direction when i first played tactics ogre. like seeing old friends who had, through some miracle, beaten the zeteginean empire (largely without my help).

I predict social media will be viewed by future historians the same way that today's historians view Rome's lead-lined aqueducts.

woke up as a skeleton and so obviously first thing i do is try playing my ribcage xylophonewise right? bad idea, i hit one rib and instantly pass out from the pain. don't even know what sound it made. life as a skeleton sucks. i gotta pee and i don't understand what to do about it
