The Prison Pits of Latinos Kickstarter launched TODAY! Get excited!
You’d heard that Larubia was a great city to visit, but somehow—surely it was all a misunderstanding!—you were arrested and sentenced to hard labor in the prison pits outside of town. Now you and your friends have no armor and no weapons, just the rags on your back and pickaxes for mining.

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

I am hearing that on his deathbed Dick Cheney received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now she looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

New York City is home to about a million Muslims—nearly a quarter of the country’s entire Muslim population. Yet epithets such as “extremist” and “jihadist” are used to describe Zohran Mamdani with such regularity that they’re hardly notable anymore.
What Zohran Mamdani’s Bid for Mayor Reveals About Being Muslim in America
The Islamophobic attacks on the candidate carry the weight of history and the urgency of the present.

Someone once said something to the effect of "you don't have to take white people's money. Give them someone to look down on and they'll empty their pockets for you" and it's really fucking sad how true it continues to be
