“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

BUT HEY!

THAT'S JUST A Segway to remind you that the FNAF creator/this movie's screenwriter, Scott Cawthon, donates the money he makes from FNAF stuff to far right politicians, many of whom are currently trying to make things worse for everyone, specifically trans people. Don't support this film.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 22h

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

To further contextualize this... the average person wisely investing in the US stock market can expect about a 10% return. (I.E. you get 100 USD back for every $100 you put in.)

Ireland managed to get over 4.5 times that RoI.
They have a 46 percent return-on-investment.

Mike Sowden @mikeachim.bsky.social · 6d

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Like there is no real salvaging the character.
Like... at all.
You would need to do an insane amount of effort and work to even come close to that---with messages and stories that his owners will never do.
And even then: his origins and real-life impacts can never be erased.

I have to consistently tell people that---even though The Punisher hates cops and Nazis or whatever nowadays---that he has always been a part of hateful ideology and rhetoric; He has always been pretty fucking bigoted and fascist... and serves as a symbol of such due to his portrayals.

3c) Want to take the opportunity to share this great article from @truthout.org about racism/fascism and The Punisher character

Marvel’s “Punisher” Was a Hate Symbol Long Before Police Co-opted His Character

The Punisher has long been embraced as a classic superhero, but his comics spread reactionary ideology.

Geordi La Forge Nope/Yes meme, but the yes has laser eyes in the visor:

NOPE:
"Do Not Comply In Advance"
- bossy
- already a cliche
- implies permission to comply later

YES:
"Fuck You, Make Me"
- leads by example
- directs yelling at opposition instead of allies
- easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

There are now one or two of Elon Musk's Starlink satellites falling back to Earth every single day.

According to Smithsonian astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell, that figure is only going to keep climbing.

In Final Fantasy Tactics if a unit gains too much faith they leave your party to go find God. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had Beast Tongue and got a monster unit to maximum faith? Of course you haven't. No one has.
