The Most Abstract of Concepts

People SHOULDN'T need to be informed of these things, but they do. Our institutions are failing us, but people like Menswearguy and WeRateDogs guy are the heroes we need these days. Dunno why they have to be, but we're lucky to have them.

I had to give up on Red Dead Redemption 2 because it was so inaccessible as someone with a hand/arm disability. Without the ability to save when I needed or at least make the character move faster, I was unable to play long enough to make it to checkpoints before my bad arm gave up. Story mode is ❤️

UPDATE: Now Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein have both invoked the Fifth Amendment when asked about Trump.

I can really only connect to a song if the lyrics resonate with me, so even if it's in another language I have to have it broken down, it's just so much easier for me that way!

Absolutely, please do tag me!

And Texas won't even indict the man, because they're corrupt AF and in a cult. I'm EXTREMELY GRATEFUL I have no contact. That could have been me. There's no compromising with people who don't care if you die. What's the middle ground for that?

www.yahoo.com/news/article... She asked her dad, "How would you feel if I was the girl in that situation and I'd been sexually assaulted?" and he responded he had other daughters and it wouldn't bother him that much, & killed her. My dad said almost the same thing, but I cut contact before dying.

I still barely know any Spanish despite trying to learn for years (I'm not giving up) but I have at least one song I love: This song by Rosalia is both a hilarious diss track AND somehow classy and beautiful. If you know any narcissists you know how true it is. youtu.be/gEHK00H_PxQ?...

Thank you so much! I think I've watched at least eight tutorials, and every single showed me something I'd like to have done differently if only I'd seen it first, lol.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Watching one of the ice skaters and she looks like my middle sister and it's breaking my heart. If only she'd give up alcohol I could tell her.

BREAKING: Madman President Promotes Racist Video of the Obamas as Apes Trump’s policies and actions are fueled by explicit racism and election denial. The Obama-ape video encompasses both.

"According to sources...video and photo posts to the president’s Truth Social account go through layers of approval. Trump signs off on the content posted, but he often does not find...these clips himself...it takes a village...to create the federal government’s racist propaganda operation."

The most racist thing he's seen SO FAR.

Corporate profits have hit record highs.

CEOs are paid 280x as much as a typical worker.

We're subsidizing huge corporations that pay lousy wages through food stamps and Medicaid.

But instead of cracking down on corporate greed, Republicans want to punish the working poor.

I feel like I'm living in Wonka world. We've been ordered by a judge to do a mediation by the end of April and then submit a Status Report after completing mediation at the beginning of March, before we've done it. What in the time traveling nonsense is this bullshit.

Which is the only thing that matters.

I'm watching the Muppets and I think it's helping the Avs. It's a twofer!

Our power play is officially cursed. We need some sage or some shit. #GoAvsGo

Are they superbowl rings for monopolizing baron robbers? Or are they even tackier versions of high fashion labels, where you advertise some schlock for some rich dude who thinks you should pay him to shit on you? Either way . . . I hate late stage capitalism.

I have been playing "Enshrouded." It's . . . okay, but too empty for me. I love exploring, but the world has no people (it's a plot thing, I get that, but I find I dislike it intensely) and it makes it pretty boring. I want NPCs to bump into, not just the followers you unlock. Just feels very empty.

Trans athletes may not have fitness advantage in women’s sport, landmark study finds Findings suggest physical performance in trans women converges toward that of cis women over time

Fascinating stuff. Need to keep doing studies but as usual, this seems to indicate that transphobic beliefs, no matter how ironclad or dearly held, do not hold up under the scrutiny of science. www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

I could see them in the 90s! Now I can't no matter how hard I try! I guess my eyes are not capable of some important thing they're supposed to do anymore. My eyes are definitely not as good these days, but it still kind of freaks me out, because it wasn't a gradual thing, one day I just couldn't.

I mean, we don't have to get fancy or complicated, but we could: "I believe that in Glitz you have to fill their mouth with salt, hammer a carrot into both ears, and then cut off their head."

I'm annoyed he's still around. As Pratchett has noted, "There are dozens of ways to dispatch them, quite apart from the stake through the heart, which also works on normal people so if you have any stakes left over you don’t have to waste them."
