Black children when they are murdered by vigilantes while minding their own business and being a kid: This monster had it coming

White elected officials and GOP party officials, actual whole ass adults, when they promote Hitler: Look, these are just kids being kids, this is just idle talk

OK yep it's just a fork yet and not ready for launch; if you're gonna look for something to run Doom on prior to it launching, I'd recommend DSDA Doom, it's what I typically use cuz it has that delightful rewind feature.

I've been wondering the same thing; I'm currently working my network to get an answer and I'll let you know when I've got it.

tl;dr this is, as I've been screaming into the wind about for a week now, not just illegal as shit but fundamentally means the Constitution as written is no longer in effect

That said if you want an even deeper dive on the subject than I've done, this is a very good thread

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.

It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.

Long thread.

I know there’s on my one constitutionally defined duty for the VP, but what the fuck even is this.

Spider Man and the X Men in Arcade’s Revenge. That game made me so angry in its badness. Lore errors, poor gameplay, impossible difficulty, and no continues.

Honorable mention; RE6. I’m replaying it on my YT right now, and between the storyline being shit and all the cutscenes and bad controls…

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

The unifying theory of all American conservatives is that they all demand that you be their friends at gunpoint, and tell them how handsome and special they are

grimm ☀️ @mugrimm.bsky.social · Sep 16

The conservative project always makes much more sense when you realize it's just run by upper middle class American christian nationalist who are basically completely fine in material position but furious the entire country doesn't bow to their weird cultural preferences.

I don’t dare speculate, but I will say I have a weirdly fine relationship with the first NES game. I believe I streamed it a while back and iirc I finished it as well.

Someone did hook me up with the I think European BTTF 2, which reminds me of Road Runner Death Valley Rally, and it’s not awful.

Oh my god that game was so damn awful; I went game genie to finish it cuz screw that noise.

ICE are not to be trusted.

I don’t care your citizenship status.
I don’t care your skin color.
I don’t care who you think you’re connected to or what your job is or what cameras are recording.

They are evil.
They will commit evil upon your community.
Do not abide.

Stay fucking dangerous.

This is chop. He was shit and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door “looking for migrants after receiving a tip.” He was put in a bathroom, but an agent broke in, opened the bathroom, and shot him. None of the agents rendered any aid.

This is no more lawful than if Iran / North Korea / whoever blew up a couple American yachts in the Mediterranean for suspected drug trafficking. On the legal spectrum it sits in the middle of a Venn diagram between overt acts of military aggression, state-sponsored terrorism, and simple murder.

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

A number from 2016 that covered the 8 years before that. He is making up his own facts to justify his actions and his cronies nod along.

1) In a press conference yesterday, Trump justified calling troops into Chicago by saying, "Do you know they had over 4000 people killed in Chicago... they had 4000 people murdered over a very short period of time."

Where did he get that number? Funny answer...

Religious leaders here are not mincing words. They have repeatedly used the word "evil."

"Detention and deportation are acts that wound the body of Christ, and deny the dignity of God's people."

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.
