You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary

This is what the U.S. does to people, incl. legal residents, who criticize a foreign country's genocide, all while we fund/back that genocide to the hilt. The purest distillation of fascism & the natural disgusting conclusion of smearing people who condemn genocide as terrorists

It is quite fascinating to see the level of Pokémon X & Y love and nostalgia now.
The artwork of AZ last week is one of the best performing Serebii posts on this platform of all time.
People often tell me the Pokémon cycle isn't real but I've seen it so many times.

Hard to overstate the importance of this: Israeli and Palestinian co-directors of NO OTHER LAND speaking up for Palestinians oppressed by Israel's occupation, calling out US support for its genocide, affirming there is—still—hope for another way. The most vital this year's Oscars could have been.

A thing I wish I could teach people is that the vast majority of very rich people are deeply stupid. They did not get where they are because of ingenuity or talent. They got there because of compound interest on hereditary wealth and being tax cheats.

Under fascism, no one is safe.
Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.
Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.
Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

February 6 was the day Mewtwo was born, and this moment will lead him to strike back against his creators as it struggles to find the true meaning of its existence and purpose in life.
Happy Birthday, Mewtwo.
