“Doctors won’t tell you this, but you don’t need medication for a tapeworm—all you need is the natural power of friction,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said as he dropped to the floor, lifted his legs high, and dragged his ass along the White House carpet during a press conference.

Every one of the journalists arrested by the regime in last 24 hours was Black and that is not a coincidence.

Alt text for an important OP: blackpressusa: Don Lemon, Trahem Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy were arrested by Federal agents in connection to covering the protest that took place in a church in Minneapolis. They are having their rights violated. (Instagram post with headshots.)

A New York federal judge dismissed murder and weapons charges against alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione, a major blow to prosecutors that means Mangione no longer faces a possible death penalty if convicted reut.rs/45Fin56

Trans women; don't fear the word "woman" in lieu of "girl". I heard Zhazha Gabor say the word woman in a sound byte the other day and it was just so beautiful. Yes it has gravitas, but it's still playful when needed. Women can be strong AND soft. It's perfectly apt for most of the ladies I know.

Finally, the new Prototype N demo is out! This is a massive update as the game has moved to a new engine. The game can now also be played on higher refresh rates too! Demo Link: arrietty.itch.io/prototype-n/... Changelog: arriettylunaris.neocities.org/posts/PNChan... #indiedev #prototypen

“Riots”

I don't know how I found this so randomly an hour after it was posted with no comments or likes but this animation is super promising and I just am blown away by the art direction. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_r7...

We’re just not a free country. Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I need some kind of queer confessioner. Like, give me a queer-as-hell, sex positive kink friendly discord friend that I can just dump all of the naughty thoughts in my head on like some kind of smut therapist.

ICE smash and grab 12 blocks from where I'm working right now, I have never felt so enraged and helpless. If I didn't need this job to keep my family afloat I'd... do what? They're already gone. This is just so fucked. www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights. Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

If you're a nail polish person, the MN-based small polish maker Atomic Polish is selling Ice Out, and 100% of the proceeds of it are going to the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund

Sion from the Bouncer was just kink-coded Sora. In this essay I will explore the nuances of eac--

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

City View Apts in Near North, Minneapolis (1149 N 7th St), approx. 9-10am: ICE and CBP BORTAC raiding an entire apartment complex after breaking in

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

Working on some sprites (unfinished) for @whiskystudios.net in the style of River City Girls 2, which is strangely serendipitous... I was inspired to elevate my pixel art because of @bannonrudis.bsky.social like, a decade ago when RCRU was in development. The world goes full circle sometimes.

Playing around with symbols. It's very lopsided but I still like it. Anyways.

Minneapolis is going to hold firm. They murder us. Our politicians tell us to calm down. It doesn't matter. Dust settles. Fog clears. History will capture this. It's all going on the bill.

This is less than 10 blocks from my house and I want to go light things on fire. LEAVE OUR CHILDREN ALONE

some bits of wisdom from tunglr

I saw a young woman absolutely biff it on some sidewalk ice last week, and she knows I saw it. So I feel it's my obligation to intentionally retain that memory so she's not crazy when she thinks "I wonder if that woman still remembers when I totally biffed it"

Someone pointed out that in Tron: Ares, Trent Reznor gets taken out by a downward spiral.

Stunt Island The Assembly Line / Walt Disney Computer Software 1992 In this game you can position cameras on the island, program the movement of objects, fly with aircrafts and then edit your own stunt movies. This is the "location scouting" demo that comes with the game, showing the scenery.

I think I want to be making shoegaze cassette mixtapes surrounded by humid houseplants and wooden bookshelves but in reality I just want to be living an existence where I make shoegaze cassette mixtapes surrounded by humid houseplants and wooden bookshelves. But I don't.

A general strike is called for January 23 in response to the campaign of kidnapping and murder that ICE is carrying out in the Twin Cities. This is a powerful step forward for resistance. But in the 21st century, a general strike must assume new forms to succeed. crimethinc.com/TwoGeneralSt... 🧵⬇️

replace rfk jr with this guy

Let me translate for the men Navigating relationship emotions is like being copilots. I want to know what all our gauges say but your dude says "Just VFR it, babe", so sure... I could stick it like a Sopwith 880, or you could tell me what's up and we make this thing a F-14 Tomcat. TALK TO ME GOOSE

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis. #iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls

Just had a really depressing thought that it's been almost 20 years since Benazir Bhutto was assassinated. I remember crying in my car while driving when the news broke. It was like, right after Christmas, I had just started a new job. I hope that Gen Alpha is learning about her in school.

Worth every second

Walz is a level-headed guy, but this capitulation is going to get more people killed. They're using poison gas like they did in Portland. They want us to die, no matter how incidentally.

You have to let them murder you so they don't have a reason to murder you

I need princess treatment today

Using a combination of glitches in Super Mario World, Yoshi can be taken into the final battle, where he can eat Peach upon Bowser's defeat. With Peach gone, the ending will not play, and Mario and Yoshi will simply stare at each other forever.

Zero percent chance this is true.

Crunch is bad. Crunch ruins lives. Crunch kills. Don't ask for it. Don't do it. It's bad. I can't believe I still have to say this after all these years.

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

A reminder that a lot of the Signal groups are unvetted. There are Feds in them. Act accordingly.

I watched ICE detain a teenager. A kid. Younger than my eldest, older than my youngest. I can't in safe conscience send my children to Mpls schools, out of our parental sight. Even if we aren't "targets", the mob tactics being used right now are indiscriminate and haphazard. I need my family safe.

What is currently going on in Minneapolis is far past the 'what if he declares martial law' hypothetical for the practical impact it is having on people's lives. (And deaths.) They are going door-to-door, sometimes kicking those doors down, demanding papers on the street and shooting folks.

mobile wip! #pixelart #resprite
