when republicans win: we will crush the democrats, they are the enemy within, leftists and dei and trans people will be mandated out of existence

i sense a pattern.

Read this and wrap your head around the way white institutions so often want marginalized people to present their stories in weak, hyper-personalized, depoliticized ways.

Ooh Trevenant looks so good 😍! I’ve been working on zone 13 a bit but no luck there so far.

Still working through the 1k battles for shiny charm but found a nice surprise in Zone 20 for my 3rd shiny of Z-A.

I met her in 2006 not long after her episode aired at a gay bar in Nashville and she was honestly so sweet!

yep and points 3 and 4 are explicitly about throwing a whole bunch of my friends, colleagues, neighbors, and loved ones under the bus, so fuck this.

Machamp was so good in Z-A! I never really used it since trade evolving can be a pain but it was a mainstay of my team this run and was a lot of fun to use.

She’s so real for this

only surprising thing about the racist young republican groupchat is that jd vance wasn't in there dropping crylaugh emoji reacts

"if you give us a photo of your driver's license, you can jerk off to our LLM" is somehow their best idea so far on how to monetize

federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?

Ilyasah Shabazz didn’t want to look at the AI-generated videos of her father, Malcolm X. The seemingly realistic clips — made by OpenAI’s new video-maker Sora 2 — show the legendary civil rights activist making crude jokes, wrestling with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and talking about defecating on himself.

She questioned why the developers were not acting “with the same morality, conscience, and care … that they’d want for their own families.”

ai is a fascist tool. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

today in "predicted by 30 Rock"

I miss when gay villains were like Jafar and Ursula. You know: fun and fabulous and, most importantly, fictional

look ai is completely destroying the world with massive pollution and is using up water at a concerning rate but at least you get to use technology that lies to you and is the primary propaganda mechanism by fascists

America is currently a giant experiment to see how long we can keep stuffing a year's worth of news and outrage into every single day before everyone's heads explode

i think people often make the mistake of thinking that rightwingers meltdown at different things like netflix not because they want the approval of mass culture, but they actually just want total top down control of the flow of information

My finished FFTactics piece, just in time for the The Ivalice Chronicle release. Excited to pour another 100 hours into this masterpiece all over again!!

i'm guessing this is for his buddies who have been accused of war crimes or blatant racism

That Locke!!! 😍

I'm really excited for Lorwyn because I wasn't playing then but love the vibe of the plane. Strixhaven feels kinda soon to be back. I agree with you about the nostalgia baiting with all the UB sets but Hasbro just sees $$$$ from Magic propping them up so they're going for the easy money.

“Wow you still really like Final Fantasy Tactics, huh? Why do you think about it so much?”
