In 1988 Westminster tried to celebrate the "Glorious Revolution, bloodless as it was"

That met with a "What the fuck" from Scotland and Ireland for two

Mourning those murdered by Hamas isn't incompatible with mourning those murdered by the Israeli state.

Demanding that the hostages return isn't incompatible with naming & demanding an end to genocide.

Naming the power imbalance & impact thereof doesn't desecrate those murdered two years ago today.

Just because they're awesome and under represented online I thought everyone should know that Newline designs are having a 30 years in business sale where everything is 30% off.

Original post on social.vivaldi.net

1) this is horrendous
2) it's not the main point obvs but it's really brought home just how siloing BlueSky's way of working is... until Nadine drew attention to them I was blissfully aware of this thick vein of antisemites where on Twitter my TL would have been lousy with them - often the same ppl

True

It is funny, though,when the same people who post screenshots of multiple roboposts of the same text to show up their opponents

Then post the same wordage found in a statement,without attribution, spammed over many sources, same or similar wording, uncritically

Any piece of news that confirms your view of the situation, particularly if the news you receive is one-sided, is doubly worth trying to find some kind of independent verification of

Check your opponents points, but check your own twice as hard

A bunny is in a dark dungeon, on one side of a bolted wooden door. On the other side of the door, seen through a barred window in the door, a giant, amorphous monster is visible, with green tentacles and a giant eyeball. The bunny has brought a bucket of fish for the creature to eat.

At the time they were produced, I'd see one parked near my school sometimes. Looked amazing, though I suspect they'd have visibility issues

Not as much as a monowheel would have, and they are even cooler

I watched that video

I thought that made sense from a "this is meant to be fun"

Round 1 Gwent

Round 1 Gwent

Round 2 Gwent

Round 2 Gwent

Solo Gwent is Brutal. Random cards eviscerated my front then bad weather nullified support

Bloody Squirrels

Second round more brutal. In solo mode, robo player gets one last card. A weather card that turned victory to defeat
