I think Alan Moore does a good job making Lovecraft sympathetic (in Providence #9) without excusing his bigotry (in #10)

"Is it smart for the democrats to keep pushing the Epstein issue as we go into the midterms??? Should the party downplay the international child trafficking ring reaching to the top of government? How well is not feeding kids to rich pedos polling in Iowa this week? Can we triangulate this somehow

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

"Wait, they ... punished her? For defying the overall party priorities? Hmm. I guess that means the next time our members defy the overall party priorities ... WE WELCOME LIZ CHENEY TO CAMPAIGN WITH US YAAAAAAAAY!"
Like...the Republicans completely destroyed Liz Cheney for just saying "hey, maybe attempting to overthrow the government is illegal".
The dems acted completely baffled at the concept that there was a single thing they could do. It's almost like those two were doing what the party wanted...

"If we make them mad and we'd lose control of the Senate because they'd caucus with the Republicans and impede our ability to pass laws! So in order to keep control of the Senate we'll allow them to vote with the Republicans and impede our ability to pass laws."

This is what always drove me nuts about Manchin/Sienema and made me doubt the Dems. Those two were blocking the Biden adminstration agenda and NOTHING was done. They kept all their sweet positions, suffered more pressure from their constituents than the party and just generally weren't dealt with

If these people are ever thrown out of power, I hope we all understand there is no reformist pathway for institutions like this as much as Dems might desperately wish and claim there is.

remember when the team ninja game came out and everybody assumed it was team ninjas sexism that made samus seem so weird? nope, it was nintendo's sexist vision all along.
The entire fandom’s (and Retro Studios) initial assumption: “Oh she hunts down the baddest monsters in the galaxy and gets paid for it, right?”
Nintendo: “What? No. She’s like humanity’s motherly guardian. What are you talking about.”

It’s the funniest shit ever, Prime 3 was supposed to have side missions where you actually Collect Bounties for currency to upgrade your ship and weapons and stuff I think, or maybe just for the sake of side missions, and Nintendo just went “Oh she doesn’t do that”

and the devs are aware of this! Part of the reason that trans women claim Samus is that one of the developers describes her with a transphobic slur in a (probably-) joking remark in an official guide.
Not a high water mark for the character! But it shows they knowingly defied feminine stereotype

Just like Ripley in Alien, (the shameless blueprint for Samus) part of what makes it so moving when she develops a maternal relationship is that it feels so uncharacteristic with what we know about her character up to that point. Silent, solitary, heavily armed, she shatters feminine stereotypes
