i talked to the lead designer for Seance of Blake Manor, one of my favorite mystery games of last year. it's not as brain-destroying as something like Blue Prince and that's very much by design. you can walk away and come back to it, for example www.mothership.blog/seance-of-bl...

chekov’s rejection sensitivity

Not just any journalist, she won the goddamn Triple Crown of broadcast journalism (an Emmy, a Peabody, and a Murrow) in 2024 for her reporting on Gaza. This is textbook censorship of the highest degree

you are made witness to a rare Homer of Victory. yell "woo hoo!" before sending this to the ally on your flank most at risk of capitulation to the enemy

the Nazis were constantly bickering and undermining each other in public and having petty little pissing matches too

very important

i dont care about people making short jokes about bovino

lifted from tumblr and posting here because holy shit this drives me insane

It’s stuff like this that makes me think about how important union and protest songs are. The kind of powerful energy you can get in a crowd of people all singing the same thing

the amount of times i’ve tried to tell folks you can’t neglect the importance of bards in movements

FOUCAULT: I wrote "Panopticism" to show how people are enculturated to think of themselves as subjects and agents of surveillance CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY: at last we have invented the Panopticon from Foucault's famous essay "Panopticism"! FOUCAULT: Jeremy Bentham invented the panopticon in the 1790s

This hit so fucking hard today.

This is how so many of these cases go. The judges completely remove your ability to enter anything into evidence.

i saw someone call the pitt copaganda for doctors and it's so true it hurts

The men flocking to ICE today had a lot of different names for their groups over the years -- White League, Red Shirts, White Caps, Pale Faces, Bald Knobbers, Border Ruffians, Blackbirders, Knights of the White Camelia, Ku Klux Klan -- but the majority of them you'd know as just Settler.

Shannon mentioned that States at the Core is offering another virtual ICE Watch and Community Defense training this Wednesday at 7 pm -https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_1ljKUChmQ9m_Ivl7jE8n2Q?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email#/registration

Lindsey Jordan is so bug when you lift up a rock

Good morning to me!!!

the first article i saw on @mothership.blog made me grin like an idiot happy launch day! we are so, so fucking back www.mothership.blog/gunpla-is-fo...

Thinking again about how George Floyd believed in second chances, community and his daughter’s smile. He served his time and became a mentor in his community. The media continually portrayed him as a violent criminal despite that. His cruel death made me get more involved in prison abolition work.

Dead End has me really excited about what a late-20s, in-a-healthy-relationship Snail Mail has in store. Just right out the gate with "on second thought? fuck you, actually"

I’m gonna say it, I think it’s fucking cowardly a director who keeps winning all the awards this year with a movie that uses imagery of immigrant detention and militarized police etc has yet to even mention what’s going on in America in all his speeches. But I do see Ryan Coogler speak on Minnesota.

Apparently these dirtbags are Minnesota DNR park rangers, wearing the same damn hi vis that they just told everyone the National Guard would be wearing.

imagine if all that money had gone to teachers instead

What a stark, horrifying demonstration of the tension a union opens itself to when it organizes security forces. If you hesitate to condemn the killing of a member, for fear of alienating the members who fired the guns, what sort of cage have you built around your union?

It seems clear Alex Pretti, a healthcare worker, was murdered for engaging in the exact kind of community care we hope all care workers to embody: the kind that doesn’t stop at the threshold of the hospital, the clinic, but that aims to care for and support the community where and how they can

It's time to abolish The Fathers' America.

This man is commander in chief of three army battalions that are already mobilizing and has at his disposal: 56 Abrams tanks 54 Bradley AFVs 61 Black Hawks 12 Chinooks 1,000 infantry He's up against 3,000 dipshits who only carry one of the guns that shoot their own dicks off Just send them in man

When a hurricane dug up the graves of the first Batista torturers executed by the revolutionary government, the Cubans had their bodies encased in concrete and sunk to the bottom of the deepest trench in the Caribbean Sea. Just an idea.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

A democratic republic is the best possible political shell for capitalism, and, therefore, once capital has gained possession of this very best shell, it establishes its power so securely, so firmly, that no change of persons, institutions or parties in the bourgeois-democratic republic can shake it

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

they executed a nurse in the streets and frey and walz are flapping their mouths and saying nothing while democrats are writing checks to ICE

sigh. roll clip.

Video games do not cause violence. But we as an industry are clearly not ready to have a conversation about how we've normalized a military fantasy

Microsoft is already under active consumer boycott due to BDS. If that didn't sway you to stop spending money on Xbox and Activision and Bethesda then maybe this will.

for puzzle-likers following me (there’s got to be a bunch of you), I’ve really been enjoying The Daily Spell. little word jumbles with fun worldbuilding behind it (which recalling can help you out). there’s an archive; I would pay Money Dollars for more of these now that I’ve burned through most

Another banger in the "Talia has actually done the research/reading people merely pretend to do, and shows that everyone is a gullible anti-feminist behind a "progressive" mask" category Talia's book is coming out on Monday, go pre-order it!!

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.
