Rowling could've lived in her castle and tweeted "Hagrid wants you to brush your teeth and have a happy St. Swithin's Day!" a few times a year and HP would've had the same legacy as Pooh or Middle-earth, but she consciously chose Evil For Evil's Sake like a badly written children's fantasy villain
So I had a walk around the very crowded exhibit hall at FanExpo Boston. There is, as expected, sooooo much cosplay. Star Wars, One Piece, Walking Dead, Disney, superheroes. You name it. Which makes it notable what is missing. Haven’t seen a single Harry Potter robe, tie, or wand.

screenshotting to agree not dunk since her quotes are disabled but; if you're making payment processor calls and you hit this, I think bringing up Game Of Thrones is such a huge brain strategy to throw at a layperson. GoT was HUGE and has all the shit Collective Shout weaponized to start this.

This weekend I picked up #Grimshire, the dark cozy(?) game with consequences. Really enjoying it so far.
Last night while talking with my partner, I remembered @hbomberguy.bsky.social's pathalogic video from a few years ago and realized that in some ways, this game is pathalogic-cozy crossover!

So, since bad history is damaging: when the civil rights movement talked about "nonviolence" they meant a set of tactics. They planned actions for maximum disruption and intentionally defied police and laws.
This is very different from how "peaceful protest" is meant by many using it today.

When RFK Jr says that “only really sick kids should die from measles” if unvaccinated, this is eugenics. Not only is that completely untrue since we had eradicated the virus thanks to the vaccine, but he’s saying that sick and high risk kids are expendable. This is eugenics, plain and simple.

Even if Duolingo is helping you as it once did me, deleting your account is the only correct move right now. The company posted record profits, but capitalist greed means they're killing jobs, lowering quality, and will be creating an increasingly inferior experience for increasingly higher prices.
I have completely deleted my Duolingo. I was informed by one of my kids that the company has removed most of its employees and 70% of the company is run by AI.
I urge everyone to delete their app.

Do not obey in advance to a wildly unpopular one term president who is currently fighting wars on multiple fronts for seemingly no reason
Let's wake up. He's REALLY unpopular for this early in a term or really ever. President's this unpopular are already losing. Power becomes harder to assert when your power is fading.

My garden: min of 2 separate wolf spider burrows with egg-sac carrying spiders (did you know they have blue egg sacs?)
They are fairly large and a little disconcerting to find while kneeling at the edge of the garden. It sounds like they're fairly good for the garden, so I'll tread carefully.

POLITICO: “The Democratic base wants a fight. Chuck Schumer won’t give it to them.”
Surrendering to Republicans isn’t leadership—it’s weakness. While the GOP bulldozes its agenda through, @SenSchumer played it safe. Democrats want and deserve a fighter, not a bystander.

a liberal doing a boycott or a leftist doing a sit in or non violent occupation of a building all get called terrorists, a conservative shooting people or running them down with their car or blowing up a building is defined as let's not talk about that too much more of them might kill people
The fundamental issue here is that a pissed off Democrat will arrange a boycott or a sit in or a protest and a pissed off Republican will load a box truck full of ammonium nitrate and nitromethane and detonate it next to the Murrah building
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

This is going to kill many public libraries, especially in rural areas. If you use a public library, you will be impacted. #imls is a dust mote in the federal budget. It also provides things like internet at your local library so people can apply for jobs and kids can do homework.
This, by the by, is an effing disaster if it holds up. The number of public libraries that will go under if IMLS is shuttered is mind-boggling. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I think part if it is that in the fascist worldview health is largely a property of the individual, tied up in their worth; a good person will have good genes and good behaviors and not need medicine and so on. Exterminating the bad, the unworthy, becomes the substance of public health.
When you hear “Make America Healthy Again” please remember who the Nazi’s targeted first.
They wanted to make Germany healthy and “pure”
The Aktion T4 program mass murdered people with disabilities. They tested the gas chambers on us.
Please do not obey in advance. Speak out. Save lives.
