Surprised not to see more discourse about ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. What I loved most about it was how it contrasted Bob’s bombastic, violent, immediately satisfying activism with Sensei’s quiet, plodding, unglamorous but utterly crucial community building and mutual aid infrastructure creation.

This is an extract from a list of colours for Dungeons & Dragons figurines. Some of them could be makeup shades (Pixiedust Pink, Green Flame)...
... But that's the deal with Skeleton Bone? Lads. All bones are skeleton bones.

Eternally shocked by the number of South Asian Trumpers. Man, I stopped going to see my favorite *band* bc their singer hates me (we were friends until I criticized their antivax posts and they blocked me). Cannot imagine the cognitive dissonance of *voting* for someone who definitely hates you.

Good fucking riddance, Disney+/Hulu. Can we get a spinoff streaming service just for watching Bluey?

SORRY, YOU'LL FORGIVE ME FOR ASKING, BUT HAVE WE ALL OF A SUDDEN DECIDED THAT IT IS WRONG TO COLLECTIVELY PUNISH A CIVILIAN POPULATION FOR THE ACTIONS OF A BODY THAT CLAIMS TO SPEAK AND ACT ON THEIR BEHALF?

A mainstream outlet finally does more than repeat the official BS statement from ICE about the shooting of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez. This man's death should be a national scandal. Grateful for indy journalists who questioned the official narrative that corporate outlets mindlessly echoed last week.
Undocumented father killed by ICE agent in Franklin Park shooting had no criminal background, lawyer says
The undocumented father shot and killed by an ICE agent in Franklin Park, Illinois, only had a history of minor traffic violations, not a criminal record, according to his attorney.

Wild to read Jennette McCurdy’s “I’m Glad My Mom Died” last week, a book about coming to terms w/ the fact that you are under no obligation to canonize someone in death, especially if their existence jeopardized yours - and then see so many (esp those in power) fail so spectacularly at exactly that.

Before the @nin.com show tonight. There is some universe in which I didn’t buy that cassette of The Downward Spiral in India back in 7th grade and in that universe I probably look very, very different 😅

Seizure medication, wheelchairs, Social Security cards, dentures, urns of ashes, work uniforms — just some of what's been thrown away during cruel, degrading, utterly counterproductive homeless sweeps.

It's very clear now that if Nazi Germany had restricted its extermination campaigns and invasions to West Asia, the entire world would have bent over backward to accommodate their genocide, with an occasional murmur of concern every several months.
