ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid response—both things that have also already been going on for weeks.

Twitch finally admitted their anti-bot system is negatively impacting authentic view counts, alongside a bunch of other bizarre choices for what makes you count as a viewer. We were all right to complain.

These past few months my average viewership has dropped from 300+ to 150.

Shame I can't share a video longer than a minute here, but

Masking for covid isn't living in fear or have contamination OCD!

It's literally just sound science that we have an airborne disease that can disable you on repeat infection

And wearing a bra is more uncomfortable than masking lol

There was a time where Suncoast Video was selling the Trigun DVD box set for $280+tax. This may seem insane, or like I'm misremembering things, but I swear to you this is what anime use to cost. You have no idea how good you have it.

The most frustrating part of this is that a federal judge literally made a finding of fact of the evidence presented by the administration, a judge appointed by Trump, and that judge called the narrative untethered to facts, and the narrator, unreliable.

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

Huh, I don't want to disagree with a medical professional, but I don't think any of what he said is going to help with your nausea. I do hope you feel better soon and figure out what's going on though. 🫂
