Playing hard, but keeping it casual.

Games, music, movies, pop culture.

Anti-fascism, far, far left.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice
Man this hacking mini game in Dispatch is exactly the hacking mini game that was such a huge part of Zenless Zone Zero and was removed for clashing with the core gameplay.

It's the same problem here where it details the pacing, if much less egregious, just equally boring

I say this with love and respect for the difficulties of being a journalist in this current moment, but I'm gonna need my colleagues who still use that place to seriously SERIOUSLY interrogate why and what you're enabling with your continued presence.

I’m a Gen X parent, but it’s not super flattering to Gen X parents as a cohort that “found family” is now its own movie genre.

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.

Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

Also we're sending people to torture prisons, deporting them to countries they've never lived in, prosecuting them, and colleges need permission slips to mention race but it's fine, the real issue remains libs being mean

NEW: Evanston has released video + reports surrounding a 10/31 incident where a CBP agent threatened to shoot people + another beat a handcuffed man.

We found some disturbing X posts from one of the feds, also seen in other viral videos. His name is Timothy Donahue, and it's now public record:

CBP agent who threatened to shoot people on the street in Illinois.
Major content warning for some of the commentary we found on Donahue's account. He's opposed to mixed race relationships and women voting, and he cheers on a gay bashing and makes a death threat against a drag queen.

He's not a big poster, but follows exclusively far right influencers.

In Charlotte, businesses continue to close on a massive scale. Others begin locking their doors behind each customer.

All as ICE terrorizes the NC community.

One of the most irresponsible and self destructive pieces of journalism I've ever read. The author should be fired and shunned by his colleagues.

"Rehabilitated?" Are you fucking serious?
