A solid at least 40% of the current fascist movement was the result of passive indoctrination of suburban and urban whites globally via video games like Call of Duty concurrent to the 2000-2010s defunding of the humanities in public education to center STEM.

I got asked to be in meetings this semester to negotiate plans for buying a new MRI machine for the medical school / university hospital to rep one of the investigation departments that would contribute to the bill / be using it

I don't want much in life A job that allows me time. A family. Feeling joy. The unification of Latin America and the Caribbean as a federal republic given the looming ecologic and economic collapse will divide the world map into factions. Love from friends and family.

I have an institutional OSCE (medschool) coming up and we had been given the list of subjects we needed to study two weeks ago (it's in a month and a half) and just now they sent an email changing the subjects and half of what I studied already is no longer part of the exam

Top Democrats decline to say if they would rein in ICE after Minnesota shooting

New for @propublica.org: Drug-testing cutoff levels (the amount that triggers a "positive" result) vary from lab to lab. Kaitlin tested "positive" for Codeine at a hospital in New Jersey, but she would have tested "negative" if she were in the military. www.propublica.org/article/drug...

I think at a basic level tomorrow doesn't exist yet and that's hard. But, inasmuch as we're actually talking about "expanding" equality, we're asking for a new integration of a situation by way of a new meaning, and that integration transcends the present one in a strict sense.

Being familiar with the literature is what makes you an ‘expert.’ Having a LLM summarize literature for you makes you nothing. No one said it was easy to learn. Much as you might wish it, there are no shortcuts.

“Things can’t be so plainly bad or obvious in such a way that not only does it make taking direct action a moral prerogative, it is actually a politically viable strategy with high returns on investment. If that were true I would need to be acting differently, therefore it cannot be true”

There’s actually a lot of people like this in liberal circles more broadly now, it’s a very obvious rationalization mechanism in the present moment

At Peñiscola, the seat of power of the Antipope Benedict XIII, and the locals / local histories just refer to him as the Pope.

I was familiar with it before but actually sitting down to read Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is like discovering a new primary color. A bunch of Tom of Finland guys named, like, Grand Funk Railroad and Kiss Alive saying shit like "You actually thought decapitating me would slow me down? Foolish child."

Where Saint Augustine preached! Where Saint Augustine walked! Where Saint Augustine baptized infants and people generally! Also where Saint Augustine walked presumably a tomb but I cannot read it! (Ruins of Hippo in Annabas, Algeria)

During tourism in Sicily and the tour guide says local tradition is that after your catholic wedding you should give the wedding flowers to the temple of Hera/Juno Something something enchantment something syncretism something sensus fidei vs magisterium

ENORMOUS AMANI EMPIRE + AMANI RULING FAMILY LORE DUMP. @groxi.bsky.social @andeanhermedic.bsky.social @groadytoady.bsky.social @skymagpie.bsky.social FEAST ON THIS courtesy of a fellow in the AD troll discord

Genuinely love this energy we're bringing to Midnight

Every post of praise for zul'aman -always- comes with an obligatory "btw dont villainbait Zul'jan" at the end its great.

As a filioque hater, nice

even that deflection is shaky in-universe

bsky.app/profile/dark... Making our own Zandali holidays until Blizzard hashes some out

Crying that Blizzard was like "Sorry we killed all your Loa and the surviving one is now the Zandalari patron Loa, but you can have this consolidation pr-- I mean brand new Loa! Slender Man, Small Creature and Trash Loa! Aren't you happy?" Shirvallah is in witness protection and dyed her fur.

Got a 97 on my oncology oral exam which was the head of oncology making me rapid fire questions for 5 minutes that popped into her head :D

Didn't study at all for my oncology final because my gynecology rotation had me barely alive plus all the drama from yesterday and guess what? Got a high grade lmao and I know most of the answers of most of the questions

Situation resolved and they said all is well with me again

I'm pissed. I'm being punished in my clinical rotation on my last day of the rotation because someone else fucked up royally too many times. I'm seething man.

An oriental vision of "western" fantasy fairyland goes back to 1910's Lord Dunsany's fey cities in english moors have Islamic minarates, golden domes. The model for World of Warcraft's blood elf Silvermoon "...a city of white marble and gold-tipped minarets... The city was obviously of the East..."

They are still likely Dark Troll offshoot by timeline Dragonflight novel affirms that Trolls were around in the early days of the Dragonflights Dazar is not the first instance of "Troll civilization"; Bwonsamdi predates Dazar by millenia

A patient gave me Bad Vibes so I checked fetal heart rate again even though we had just done a monitorization 15 minutes prior and lo and behold the baby was Not Okay and we did an emergency cesarean Doc said good job and said I can sleep Honk snoo time

Showed up to night shift and the gynecologist was like, "You deserve more days off, you're one of the better students", and I was like "Oh but I have Monday off" and she was like "I grant you Tuesday off". Based.

🔮 MIDNIGHT SPOILERS 🔮 Please, PLEASE, do not villain bat him, please let us have a guy who is complex and not always "right" without killing him. He sounds like such a wonderful character I don't want him to die. We deserve a male troll character to stay for good after Vol'jin, Zul and Rastakhan.

Sometimes you have clinical rotations where you don't learn what to do but rather learn what not to do, who you don't want to become, and what you plan on never doing 🙏

The speed at which they addressed this and implemented such sweeping changes is honestly super commendable

i tried to get baal's writing on polygon and it never worked out for various reasons but now i own my own site (or at least a chunk of it) and now I make the rules babey!!!!!

This quest has been changed on the alpha! You are now explicitly given a personal choice between aiding the blood elves in escalating the conflict, or attempting to de-escalate by dissuading the blood elf forces.

Give my first video game article a read :D

Juan is one of the best journalists in the WoW community. I read everything he writes.

This is such a wonderful piece and I'm so glad we have it on our site. Thank you @andeanhermedic.bsky.social!

Give my first video game article a read :D

A new guest piece from @andeanhermedic.bsky.social about finding representation in WoW's Zandalari. www.rogue.site/editorials/w...

"All that matters now is only to resemble oneself, to find oneself everywhere, multiplied but loyal to one's personal formula; to see the same credit listings everywhere, be on all movie screens at once." - The Ecstasy of Communication

Baudrillard described the ecstasy of communication as an infinite fractal Narcissus, refracting himself in a thousand small mirrors, with no greater desire than to see one's formula, face, "code" reproduced and reflected back on every screen and billboard. Now tell me what this is.

biblical literalism is such a specific historical moment, too. What Origen means by “literal” isn’t what we mean by it, which emerges as a direct reaction to the development of biblical scholarship. It insists on literal meaning by assuming a modern empirical universe.

Gay Republicans are gonna spin this so hard lol

Reposted with permission but yeah I do not think Blizzard is introducing Harranir into the game well. I think the way they are written overlaps with Troll, Night Elf, and Tauren lore in a way that undermines those races.

My mind, my impact, my questions

Mother!!!!
