OK so there's an annoying tower in Baby Steps but if you're wearing the x ray glasses there's a bunch of hidden platforms that get you to a second, secret, hidden inverted tower on top of it youtu.be/p4oWUcUfg-g?...

In Chicago they are shooting priests in the face and zipping little kids and loading up parents in vans separated by race.

In Portland they can be held back by inflatable costumes.

Chicago is 35% white
Portland is 70% white

Men in full war gear, masks and helmets, shoot an unarmed clergy member with a pepper bullet in the face.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

He was so frugal he would do first drafts in pencil, then do the second draft in ink ON TOP OF the pencil. It’s a miracle that stuff all (mostly) got deciphered for the History of Middle-earth series, History of The Hobbit, etc
