As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Fascinating English language development: due to the known phenomenon of the T sound becoming CH before an R (as in train/chrain), I’ve just heard the word “stress,” which would become the cumbersome “schress” with this rule, instead fully smooth out to “shress.” Very interesting to observe.

The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

![Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.
There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.
What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.
It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lzlqyldh7nfc34pfffvd24ko/bafkreiap6asa64jdjb2vlv4c2sdritjrntsibvsv7baj6o4cgwcfgsjeny@jpeg)

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose
Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

My most millennial complaint is that I wish websites weren’t clunky worse versions of the service’s app. Quizlet’s app is fine but making flash cards with a touchscreen is way less efficient and Quizlet in-browser runs like a washer with a brick in it.

Hollow Knight was nothing like Dark Souls actually it just was a challenging game in the 2010’s. But I think the discourse about Hollow Knight being like Dark Souls had a profound impact on how the design philosophy changed for Silksong

I’m not the first to point this out but you know why their slogan is “nihon first” rather than an actual Japanese phrase like “nihon daiichi”
Sanseitō emphasizes the restoration of traditional Japanese values and resistance to "Western liberal influence." Its members frequently challenge LGBTQ inclusion, framing diversity initiatives as harmful to social cohesion and family stability.

republicans love to go "oh yeah well maybe your president was a child rapist too" but a critical difference between the parties is that republicans consider this the end of the story and as far as i'm aware the general view of the average democrat would be "ok well lock up both of the child rapists"
