“there’s no real difference between an acetaminophen scaremonger like RFK Jr. and an anti-trans obsessive like J.K. Rowling. Neither are doctors, both have been poisoned by a steady stream of online propaganda and disinformation” When science is thrown out the window, everyone suffers.

Yeah, everyone hates the AI subway ads as much as you do nygroove.nyc/ai-subway-ads/

And moreover, Trump isn't doing anything to turn his numbers around. He's doubling down on the same policies that make people hate him.

Coates: "I have a friend, I’m not going to out him — he’s a mutual friend of ours — who always says: This is the best set of white folks we have ever had in the entire history of Black America. This is the most woke, this is the least racist, this is the most aware group that we have had." My god.

Coates says Black Americans have stories about relatives who were lynched or had to flee and that a life free of political violence is not in reach in his time Klein: "Sometimes I think that having a historical scope that wide can make the present too deterministic." They lynched a kid last week.

The only reason I have relatives in Philly is 100% b/c my grandaddy’s brother whistled @ a white woman. He fled Alabama hopping a train & didnt get off until Philly for fear of getting lynched. And instead the Klan nearly lynched our family in retaliation for *that!* I am (1) generation from that.

the funny thing about this is folks get RILED UP sayin things like 'if this is true then a painter would be a painter if they never picked up a brush' or 'an actor would be an actor if they never had a role'. YES that is the point. in art the empty space also has meaning. NOT doing also has a shape

This is my regular reminder to everyone that jstor is open to the general public now; a free account there will give you access to 100 papers a year.

The sheer ridiculousness of this vid belies the fact that for many of us, our reality is that we are currently one snatch away from being eagerly vanished into a system that would rather see us dead & deprived. I can only imagine what was going through that harried deliveryman’s mind as he escaped.

Say this again: “they had every rule, filed every form, and spent every dollar.” It was never about “following the rules.”

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek in Portland: "I will not be approving utilization of the Oregon national Guard. The President does not have the authority to deploy federal troops on State soil."

The chief paradox of the next few decades is going to be that aging countries around the world need new people, but can't get them because they don't want the "wrong kind" of people

this feels catastrophic in ways few other big industry deals have

This whole ICE nonsense quota based racist policing is so useful for illustrating so many Black civil rights concepts that people have been confused about for decades. People used to ask me, "Why do Black folk cheer when they see a man successfully run from the cops? He's a criminal!"🤡 No.

You don't cheer for the gestapo when they chase Jewish people. You don't cheer for ICE when they chase brown people. You don't cheer for US cops when they chase Black people. Yes there are *some* Jewish, brown, and Black criminals. But *most* Jewish, brown, and Black people chased, are innocent.

It’s official: EA is going private. The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years. www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...

I had a judge presiding over one of my cases ask me if I had been a defendant in one of his cases because he recognized me. I was like nope. I'm counsel. I was dressed impeccably in a vintage Calvin Klein suit that I'd paid way too much money for. It happened in 2005ish and I still think about it.

The main reason I am not on X is I know enough about this stuff to know however immune one thinks they are to information ops, propaganda, and algorithmic manipulation it has an impact on the way you see the world. Even when you think you're kicking against it, you're dancing to their tune.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

It really is just relentless the constant dehumanisation in this country. Prove you deserve to be here. Prove you deserve to be cared for. Prove your gender. Prove you deserve to have human rights. Prove you deserve to stay after a whole decade. It just chisels away at your humanity

The participation of big name funnymen, including Dave Chappelle, Aziz Ansari and Kevin Hart, provoked criticism from fellow comedians and human rights groups.

Welp, EA is now owned by a group including the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund and Trump's son in law Jared Kushner (CEO of Affinity Partners). Good luck Bioware - I wish your brand of queer centric RPGs good luck... www.eurogamer.net/ea-privately...

Oh gosh, The Sims is EA too. Yeah, I wish the best to the folks under EA who are going to be pushing for queer content in games following this aquisition.

Genuinely, the number of AAA game publishers whose games I can purchase without worrying I am financially supporting human rights abuses is shrinking by the day. Trying to balance "My job is to talk about video games" and "I want to make moral purchasing choices" is getting harder by the day.

This is the most insane clip we could ever have they are all standing there on their phones doing nothing, see a random person that’s a shade of brown, and then fucking full tilt sprint at them just bc. There is nothing happening it’s just a horde going around imprisoning people

whole bunch of pikachus because i love them

#ffvii #crisiscore Genesis Rhapsodos Activating LOVELESS Mode I found my old PSP and played Crisis Core for a bit :)

pleeease fs

I wanna re-emphasize something, to be clear: TERFs can fuck off. Fuck off further than anyone has ever fucked off before. Then fuck even further off than that. They will never be welcome around me and my fandoms.

The Ohio law doesn't even mention social media being required to do this. The fuck are you idiots doing? When I made the joke some time ago about speed running the death of your site by submitting in advance, I wasn't trying to predict the fucking future, you bootlicking pricks!

Kristi Noem: How DARE you accuse our glorious ICE agents of racial profiling. Head of the Chicago raids: We are stopping people based on “how they look, how do they look compared to, say,” a tall, middle aged white guy.

I call this look ... thirty year old single female #ff7 #sephiroth #hieveryone

Many of us have gotten *way* too comfortable with direct access to the creators of the art/media we enjoy. Being able to directly message them has been a blessing and a curse. While it's nice to be able to express more gratitude and grievance, some of us now feel *entitled to it.*

The World Ends With You tbh. What a delightful game with a great sequel.

#GenWolFacts ngl kinda torn between whether Gen is from Indiana, Ohio, or Washington and I have vibes reasons for any of those so next post so I have text room :Vb

I think it will be better if people learn to realize that sometimes a content isn't for them and its okay. This is specifically on the MH x FFXIV collab because some "fans" are writing essays how the collab is a waste of space and should be focused on returning monster.

THE MEME IS REAL

Estinien? With homosexual foil?

Effect of tariffs I've seen — Higher clothing prices overall — Overseas sellers covering tariff costs, but passing cost to the consumer — US stores dropping brands. Example: No Man Walks Alone won't be carrying Norbit this fall bc tariff uncertainty — Fewer deals. Ebay shuts down overseas sellers

jj abrams accidentally used a common etl fanfic and romance novel trope in a mainstream nerd movie and everyone lost their damn minds for the next decade plus

you dont need to have a sex drive to let yourself be a pervert. you dont need attraction to be a pervert. as it was said in an image i saw recently sometimes its just for the love of the game. sometimes you want to use sex as a medium to explore shit and thats ok

Bluesky leadership has been doing this thing where they frame all objections to their censorship as "Oh, you support posting SEX CRIMES??? GO MAKE YOUR OWN APP, PERVERT!!" Bluesky censored the literal Keystone Cops for violence. They flagged a Victorian trick film for violence. Sit the hell down.
