"On protagonist myths, killing your joy, and why I still compete in fighting games" Wrote for a bit about how my time with martial arts helped me frame my continuing journey with fighting games, and why it's better to be a side character instead of a protagonist. www.patreon.com/posts/on-pro...

You do not defeat reactionaries that are ready to kill whoever they please and unseat a despot by playing fair. You can prove they lied infinite times and expose their corruption as much as you like, but they'll keep at it with the *power* they hold through *force*.

Once you understand that you're dealing with murderous liars, you stop entertaining what they say as possibly credible and legitimate. The fight against them is about stopping them from terrorizing and killing by any means, not winning debates about your reality versus theirs.

good night

Stuff like this is the reason teens need access to social media.

One of the things you learn living somewhere with cold weather is that communities are safer when ice is cleared off the roads.

Despite it all I love family, goddamn

Frey sucks shit he could have said this when ICE showed up he's only doing this now because of the anger and mobilization of people in Minneapolis Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

oh i had this realization once

Wearing a mask is better than getting sick. Wearing a mask is better than becoming disabled. Wearing a mask is better than dying. Wearing a mask is better than being the reason someone else becomes sick, hospitalized or dies. Mask up & protect your health.

Literally everyone who got sacked for saying stuff about Kirk should be given their job back

There I am, Bluesky! There I am! (I'll also be hanging out on the couch for Miller2B's Scott Pilgrim run before and @flannel.live 's Time Gal + Ninja Hayate runs after)

It was deliberate intentional and from the top down. That's how you do it.

Here's a second list, this time from Venezuelan artists outside Venezuela (I'm in this list too). Despiste being outside, they still need your support to help their families. If you can't commission them, donate or share this list so more people can help!

Utah commissioned it's department of health to do a systematic review of gender affirming care for trans youth. In a 1000 page plus report found it was beneficial and the evidence was substantial. The lawmakers rejected it anyways. www.deseret.com/politics/202...

CHAOS ORB MENTIONED!!!!

There is no "become." People need to stop fucking acting like this is something new. We're the country of slavery, genocide, and systemic oppression so vile that we literally inspired the Nazis. None of this is new, it's what we've always been. Accept it so you can fight it.

Reminder that George W Bush had the elected president of Haiti kidnapped and flung him into Central Africa.

I'm from Guatemala, I can tell you, even being young, the scars left in the wake of american intervention were clear. I didn't know the first thing about it, at that age, but the trauma is collective and present in every family, some form or another. All for what, fucking, bananas

check out this thread if you would like to help out the people in venezuela. now is not the time to look down on the ways you are powerless, but rather do everything that you are able to right now. we all have a responsibility

thanks for the tip

Time to dust this one off again

My mother was a refugee of the Salvadoran civil war. The Americans backed the fascists that took over the country. Now Salvador is run by a pro yankee crypto dictator who has built the largest concentration camp in the western hemisphere. That, is American intervention.

my only criticisms of venezuela are that Chavez didn't do comprehensive nationalization and land reform to sideline the ruling class families who have spent decades trying to destroy his political project. He was too kind, too open to liberalism, and now we can see exactly where that goes

It's 2026. We have friends in Gaza and Caracas sending us live updates and videos as it happens.

Marco Rubio was confirmed 99-0 by the US Senate one year ago this month.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison
