At this point anyone who cares about justice and the rule of law just needs to be upfront about the fact that this is an illegitimate court whose decisions will be undone at the first opportunity, and that opportunity being peaceful is the best these partisan hacks can hope for.

"If I don't become literally the best at a thing, it isn't worth it to even try the thing." This is one that I see a lot, mostly because I'm guilty of it too.

Genshin Impact has done irreparable damage to UI design cus now every mobile game got this stupid ass UI

I've been seeing a lot of disrespect for our beautiful mods who lay their lives on the line every single day to protect us from mean jokes and nasty language and any knowledge of them liking loli porn at work and other things like that. Enough!!! Respect the mods!!! WE LOVE OUR MODS!!! 🫡

I’m so tired.

Despacito

Yeah I believe the same. If we're not aiming for "fix everything", we end up with "fixed nothing".

I have no hat in this fight but like... how would they know??? Do you have to upload your working docs too? Just upload the finished art and don't tell anyone lmao that's what we did on DA when they started being pissy about tracing and references.

It continues to amaze me how Donald Trump is managing to accomplish- in less than a decade and entirely by accident- what the entire non-NATO world had been trying to do for decades: break US hegemony over world politics.

Happy Mother's Day from Russia's #1 son

hot take but i think in a fantasy setting it is okay for the writer to indulge in relaxing fantasy tropes like "what if dragons existed" and "what if cops were good"

Seconding this. The other day I had someone arguing in my mentions that ALL media in which police are portrayed as anything other than mustache-twirling villains is copaganda to be stamped out. That includes Robocop and Columbo. Some of y'all need to learn how to consume media without choking.

The Mass Effect discourse is so fucking dumb. Yes, it's a pro-military pro-extrajudicial violence post-9/11 right wing wet dream AND it's a fun space opera romp that was a successor to KOTOR I can acknowledge that Die Hard is a conservative's movie and still think it's great. What are we doing here

Man, what is even happening anymore.

It's so peak

when u tax the rich

Trying to imagine any scenario where investing this money directly in Canadian game studios (new and existing) wouldn't have been a better choice. Coming up blank.

And the reason the cost doesn't matter is because it is in service to the bigger grift: the entire nation. They know that they lose money on the propaganda, but that's okay because it's just one arm of a machine designed to pilfer the entire country's wealth.

There are a lot of people in power right now that think “peaceful civil disobedience” is the end step, and not just the stage we’re currently at. I would prefer avoiding the next step, but pretty soon it’s going to be unavoidable.

Eco would unironically think this is hysterical.

There's a very simple answer to this. www.marxists.org/archive/leni...

I wrote about the emails Josh Shapiro didn't want you to see, exposing too-cozy ties between Pa. gov and Amazon, whose $20B plan for loud, energy-guzzling data centers across the state has sparked a citizen revolt Amazon delivers a political headache. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/tech...

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

Just the thought of *thinking* about health insurance and benefits gives me nightmares as someone looking to open a small business. MFA and UBI would help us all so much.

If you are having a hard day just remember there are dogs

Explain how the product of a fancy Connecticut boarding school didn’t know what a totenkopf was, but my Maine public school-educated ass does.

NEW: It's 30 years without parole for the child sex-abusing Pentecostal missionary who was hailed by generations of Assemblies of God college pastors as "the holiest man alive." Last year we published an investigation on the denomination's failure to stop him.

And Pritzker continues to do nothing about it.

Here’s what the ICE Out bills do: - Make it a criminal offense for ICE agents & law enforcement to wear masks, hide their badges, or use unmarked cars - Ban discrimination based on immigration status, making it a protected class - Make city property off limits to ICE activity

Someone got the next set early again and the Pinkertons were busy, so they had to send in the next best thing:

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

Which is why we need a new party.

"As you can see the vanishing point..." "They all have eight fingers on their hands" "But... the vanishing points..."

Oh, is there alt text discourse again? Just switch on the setting that requires alt text before posting. It's so easy. You get almost infinite space to describe an image and mostly people just want context or a caption, not a full description of the whole image. If that's too much work, don't post

@thefireorg.bsky.social once again showing that outcomes do not matter, the only thing that matters is looking pretty for the bigwigs.

(after a pause, quieter) backend is unhealthy

"Yeah investigate the journalist that wrote a piece absolutely clowning on me. I'm sure the publication will totally stop writing about me then."

They should have kept Leia in the bikini for the rest of the movies. (THEY SAID MOST CONTROVERSIAL)

If you must play this rather bland and poorly designed game about blood libel and union busting, have the decency to pirate it and not fucking talk about it.

In a normally functioning society we would be █████████ █████ ██████ in a town square.

The entire right wing ecosystem, from politics to media to business, is just for-profit contrarianism. The formula is: they name a real shortcoming of the imperfect status quo and once they got you they sell you horseshit that's much, much worse

Barack Obama faced a choice soon after he took office at the depths of the 2008 financial crisis: bail out homeowners or bail out the banks. He chose the banks, and let more than 6 million American households lose their homes to foreclosure.

Crack my back into pieces This third decade sucks balls

You’re about to see so many anti Hasan posts get ready

November is going to be probably the most historic GOP loss in living memory. And they are going to do everything in their power to overturn it.

I just want to add, since this is breaking containment, that this can't be made right. these people, each one a whole universe, are gone. there can only be justice for the perpetrators; public remorse & restitution; & reform to ensure future aid systems are more just and less prone to imperial whims
