Your government under Republicans will deregulate & privatize everything.

Pretty soon you’ll have to pay for planes to land safely, for weather updates on your phone, you may even pay with your life.

Everything we took for granted, water from the faucet, food at the store, it’s all under threat

The FAA is facing its first major aviation disaster in 16 years without a leader because Elon Musk helped push him out. The former FAA administrator stepped down on Jan. 20th after Musk called on him to resign. Musk was angry after the FAA fined SpaceX for failing to get approval for launch changes.

four square collage of images: manny jacinto at mfw in a black turtleneck and houndstooth jacket, looking directly into the camera; the social sciences building at uc berkeley at sunset; burger and fries from in-n-out; amandla stenberg with ombre braids, in profile. screenshot of chapter thirteen preview of 'let the rumours be true', titled "like I don't know myself, I only know myself with you': Notes: so glad i could get this chapter out on schedule. thank yall for being so patient <3 chapter title is from hey violet's pure (See the end of the chapter for more notes.) Chapter Text There's a fear in her, that rises sharp and bright and horrid, when Osha sees Sol standing next to Mae. It's not even the reality of being exposed dating her GSI, by their Department Chair, no less. It's something deeper, something irrational and inexplainable that makes her heart jump into her throat, her palms prickle with sweat and an awful, terrible sorrow clog her throat.

Castlevania Nocturne directors Samuel and Adam Deats' response when I asked them about their reaction to the discourse the show received for "going woke" and having the *audacity* to have Annette exist while Black.
Adam: I think that we`re just in a right-wing backlash, in general. I think the pendulum is swinging. unfortunately, in a certain direction We're not the only ones that have been hit by this. It's been everything. It's been all over the map to a degree that's even tedious. It's always hard to say whether something we did caused it or if everybody is just hyper- focusing on it now. Samuel: To that point, this isn't our first rodeo with this sorta thing, and you can see how there is a difference in how people are reacting now versus how they were responding when season two of the original series came out when we had Isaac in the story. We're seeing a very different reaction now, and I don't think that's necessarily because we did anything differently. I think that's just the landscape that we`re in right now as a whole. I don't know that we can do anything about that other than keep putting out the best work we can. As Adam said, I do think there is a weird hyper-focus on it that has changed over the past few years. Adam: I know that's frustrating for some people to hear, but the reality is that people have to understand that there should be room to tell stories with any character in it. I don't feel apologetic that our writers decided to do something that felt right for the source material in a particular period. The reality is that the Haitian Revolution was intrinsically linked to the French Revolution. It's a historical fact and felt right for the story they're trying to tell I'm not going to sit here and feel bad about changes made that were,I think, more than just functional. They really worked. Sorry not sorry, I guess. Samuel: Adam and I are big fans of the games. We have been very linked to them for most of our lives. We*ve been playing them since the NES era, diving into old forums and all that kind of stuff. We have been fans for longer than we have been making the show. When we look at Rondo of Blood--this particular game that we`ve been adapting-Annette is not a character in the games that was even really discussed a lot amongst fans. The focus was always on Richter, Maria, and Dracula. When I saw what the writers wanted to do to reimagine Annette, give her more of a presence and everything, even as a fan, I thought, that's great. This is the place to do it because she wasn't a character that folks talked about or thought about a lot back in the day.

Stop letting people consume you. They didn’t call? Go to sleep. They didn’t message you? Put your phone down and have a better day. They left you on read? Delete the conversation. They didn’t make an effort? Match their energy. Don't let anyone drain you of your happiness.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

Sfx : [muffled music playing in distance] College AU oshamir at a party — Qimir and Osha in a cramped coat closet - Qimir holds up Osha against himself as he feels under her ridden up shirt with his face nuzzled into her neck. Osha holds onto him with a reserved look on her face. It’s a little dark in there with red lighting

Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

I will NEVER FORGET the horrible cowardly way
@disneyplushelp.bsky.social canceled The Acolyte! In the most disrespectful insensitive way possible—on Manny's birthday, staying silent while the cast and crew faced all the hate and racism!

What a SHAME!!

Anyway #RenewTheAcolyte 🔥🔥🔥

The real reason behind the cancellation of The Acolyte is the hate it faced for having a non-white lead.
@disneyplushelp.bsky.social allowed the anger of some to influence their decision.

This show deserved more. It was a fresh and fascinating addition to the SW. 🌟
