Words fail me sometimes to describe how deeply saddened I am by the genocide in Sudan. Everyone who died has a story. They have hopes and dreams and fears and loved and hated and cried and laughed. But now they don't. All that made them is lost is echoes of mortar shells and gunshots.

Saw this and immediately thought of Turtlemania on @moviestruck.bsky.social and also the Feywild episode of campaign 1 of @rollwithdifficulty.bsky.social
First look at ‘TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: CHROME ALONE 2’

The animated short, set in the ‘Mutant Mayhem’ universe, follows the Turtles as they go to New Jersey on a mission after a toy company exploits the turtles’ newfound fame.

To me, it's disappointing seeing Mamdani temper his views on Palestine. If there's one person who predicted Zohran Mamdani's slide into becoming more moderate it was @fdsignifier.bsky.social and I gotta give him respect for sticking to his guns on that.

I just want to take a hot second in send sympathy out to the Americans. Honestly, you lot have it rough and I wish you nothing but luck. On a side note, I also want to take this opportunity to criticise TLDR News for their segment about South Africa being a failed state.

You ever just sit and think about how Iroh, in his hubris, encouraged Lu Ten to pursue glory and so when he died at the siege of Ba Sing Se, Iroh realised his son, the soldier was still his little boy? But now, he'll never come marching home.
