Victory Gundam is the show that never stops giving. By which I mean every single episode after the first two is an illogical farce with, uh, bad shit sprinkled throughout The fact that a sizeable chunk of the fanbase thinks it's a great series speaks volumes

There are people trying to stop others from using whistles, and next they'll say it's ableism. As your disability advocate friend, I will be the first with serious sensory sensitivity to say that I would rather be in pain than someone get abducted, or shot. Block/mute this argument, it's an op.

new york magazine has a very nasty article out about my beautiful golden throne, which they say is the only thing keeping me alive. when I'm sitting on my big beautiful throne I am NOT ASLEEP!! I am directing the beacon of the astronomican, something sleepy joe did very badly may I add

im sorry but we just spent the last decade being told the biggest issues were pronouns in emails and a trans kid playing jv lacrosse if you said these things and got paid for it then you need to go away. literally if “woke mind virus” is something youve ever said unironically you need to go away

Wouldn’t have made it out of the VEEP writers room

dystopia

This is why we had Jim Crow instead of truth and reconciliation after slavery ended. People are so quick to absolve anyone who pays lip service to changing their mind about human rights violations instead of letting them live with the social consequences of their words

Let's talk about the politics of Nation-building. Immigrants and racialized Others are often cast as a similar threat to the people of the Nation---the, ahem, Volk, if you will---as queer people. A "reproductive threat", whose malign influence threatens reproduction---of culture and Citizens.

load bearing tweet for a settler colonial society

Also a lot of cis het white dudes are used to a round of applause for doing the bare fucking minimum. They’re expecting a hero’s welcome while so many of us have been fighting oppression that directly affects our lives.

If people saying “why now?” is enough to send them back into their fascist worm pit, then their epiphany wasn’t very sincere in the first place. It’s on people who helped get us here to figure out how to make amends, not on minorities to unquestioningly accept them at face value. Do the work.

They largely have not changed their opinions. They have only realised that the current situation is hurting them. It's the old classic: The problems are bad but the causes are good. If they don't understand why we got to where we are and how to address it, we'll be fighting this fight forever.

it’s so wild when you read Black theorists all throughout the 1900s literally predicting all of this… you cannot maintain a white supremacist, patriarchal state without those same genocidal logics being visited on its own people… it’s only a matter of time.

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

1. I've been thinking a lot about the May Thirtieth Movement in China in 1925 where cops killed protesters resisting foreign occupation of China and set off a massive series of strikes and protests that changed the face of Chinese politics forever. Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

It's really distressing the extent to which in all of this Silverio Villegas González, the first man to be murdered by ICE in the streets, has been almost completely forgotten Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I was having this conversation last night with someone about how many people are in the lynching postcard layer of this and simply do not care who the state harms or kills, they have already convinced themselves that person deserves it.

This is what epistemic vandalism looks like. Not just erasure, but insisting on a standard of communication that is by default dehumanizing, degrading and degendering, laundered as neutral language on pseudoscientific grounds. Encoding bias into how we are even referred to.

The pain and the outrage is correct and just and I'm glad everyone can see and understand it here, and this is also already what BLM was, if you argued for training, police reform or body cams instead of abolition this is what you sounded like, this is why people were so mad at you

I've been studying the history of US, and indeed, global policing my whole career and I can't make it more clear to law makers that this isn't a bastardization of policing, it is its purest form and logical conclusion. The impunity, militarization, deference, legitimacy, racial targeting, etc.

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie

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.

Spending 4 years justifying covid deaths as "taken from the future' and demanding "back to normal", defending and excusing IOF murder of babies, journalists and health workers had already turned journalists into joyful collaborators in state violence, centrist liberalism already made them fascists

Starting your day seeing footage of yet another fascist goon squad murder in your city is a surreal experience. Do not recommend.

The similarities between how medical professionals treat autistic woman and how they treat trans women are remarkable. A lot of which seems to stem from being attached to certain narratives about what we "should" be like and refusing to trust our testimony.

cold enough to turn diesel into a gel. you gotta be in the mode to stand in that.

they are police 2: the sequel to police. you cannot get anywhere by pretending that police 1 is ok

it's so weird that this keeps happening you guys

[watching the United States do stuff the United States has done throughout its history] No... This isn't what America is about... America is about some other stuff, stuff that's more comfortable for me to imagine it doing instead of this!

Sure, casting Jared Leto to play a villainous character in a blockbuster didn’t work for Suicide Squad, Morbius, Haunted Mansion, or Tron: Ares…. But maybe, just maybe, it’ll work out for Masters Of The Universe

Now that the White House is using AI to edit photos of their political opponents to create fascist propaganda I’m wondering if anyone could have seen this use of AI coming. Okay I’m hearing lots of people did and they were forced to watch corporations smother the masses with the technology anyways

Reminder: the Dems aren't "doing nothing", they're doing exactly what they want to be doing. They're not failing to be opposition, they're succeeding at staying in power as part of a fascist regime.

the reaction to the death of Scott Adams should contrast particularly with the (eventual) death of Bill Watterson, who will be mourned in the style of the ancient Pharaohs, with all of Ohio entombed alive along with him

Hung a guy at Nuremburg for doing this, FYI. Not "a thing like this" but literally this, exactly.

This is a global far right power grab, so the sooner everybody realizes that and puts aside their deeply outdated notions around national identity, which got us here to begin with, the better. The only way out is through, but the only way through is all of us fighting these climate warlords together

Congratu-fucking-lations and I hope you lovely people now get to experience a fraction of the sheer rage, despair, and powerlessness that my people and my sisters were forced to endure as we watched people who should know better enable the most reactionary, eliminationist rhetoric about us.

THE BLACK LODGE ⭐️ 25 years ago Terrible stay, staff very rude and unhelpful, everybody talks weird, rooms all identical other than weird tree or horrible noise in some. Only charged me for one night though

"Just fucking transition already" in all its forms is necessary counterculture to the endless fucking eggslop that litters the trans internet. "When you wish you were a–" you are one. Transition about it. Quit romanticising the closet.

sorry not sorry but ring cameras/similar have always been the most suburban-ass true crime brainwormed thing, they were always gonna be tools of the state i fucking hate these cult of paranoia dipshit objects

After the failure of negotiations in Damascus, a general mobilization has begun in Rojava. Youth from northern Kurdistan appear To have crossed the border to join the defence. it feels like 2014 again, complete with horrific executions of SDF prisoners.

You might be having a hard day, but at least you're not a pathetic loser no one likes who agreed to ruin lives, murder strangers, and eat shit over and over again on frozen sidewalks, all in return for a paycheck you'll never be able to spend because you get booed out of any business you enter.

Can't get over how unironically capitalists are embracing Versailles aesthetics have seen two different marketing campaigns based on Marie Antoinette they're taunting us and daring us to cut off their heads

In desperate need of a new Radiohead album. It's been too long.

@badambulist.bsky.social Read 40 chapters of Dorley over three days and my brain is utterly cooked. I never expected it to be so fucking compelling. The juxtaposition of love and abject horror keeps me constantly off-balance. It's also reminded me to be way kinder to myself. Dewormed me a bit.

lmao

Armed defense of your neighborhood at this point in this city and state is going to be increasingly something we all have to accept. This is good. It will minimize the presence of some of these fascists because they truly are cowards especially if it’s only a couple foot troops in a vehicle.
