Palestine should be free. Trans people should be protected. No one should go into debt to afford housing, healthcare, or an education. It is urgent that we prioritize addressing climate change. Billionaires should not exist. Our government is fascist.

None of these views are extreme.

Trump and his cronies have been attacking our dedicated public servants from Day 1 — and now they're weaponizing Trump's shutdown to illegally fire more federal workers. We won't stand for it.

Tune in as my colleagues and I discuss how we're fighting back:

A long time ago on Blood God I coined the term "Nakamura Dog Park." I think FF character designer Tetsuya Nakamura sometimes needs to be allowed to design some Nakamura-level shit, much like a dog needs to run around in circles and bark to find a reason to keep living.

This is a Nakamura dog park.

Israeli ceasefire means it will massacre the emaciated maimed shell of a body they left you in for entering your own home, then claim Israeli terrorists were feeling unsafe near your house while they were destroying what was left of your life and family.

Following the massive Pokemon leaks I recall people constantly going "Things would be healthier if gaming was less secretive" and given the response I've seen from this and years of following Film Industry Twitter I can say that is 1000% incorrect.

The more info people have the worse it gets.

Wrote about the temptation to put Gaza on the back burner now that the ceasefire is solidifying—and why we can't let that happen. Gaza still needs you, and me, and everyone to fight until real Palestinian liberation is won. www.discourseblog.com/p/gaza-still...

It's wild that you can trace literally all of this back to Final Fantasy fans who have been driven insane because Final Fantasy games aren't turn-based anymore but refuse to play literally one of the million turn-based games Square (and others) publish because they aren't called Final Fantasy.

I am deeply fascinated with this obsession to use Clair Obscur to prop up whatever narratives we want to reinforce. It feels like no one is interested in engaging with what the actual game is about, but everyone wants to talk about how it's saving gaming in some nebulous way.

Square Enix’s non-committal nod to shareholders is not them promising a big comeback of turn-based RPGs, nor praise of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Recent statements got lost in translation

Not sure, but I doubt it. But I accepted Dexit right away. Like when they hit 1000 I knew there’s no way GF can include every Pokémon in a game.

The way people talk about Pokémon these days is like Dexit never left

MSNBC: "'Look in the mirror and see what we have become': Oct. 7 survivor reflects on the war in Gaza."

The devastation in Gaza can't be overstated. The civilians rely on our donations to survive.

Please give to my friend Tasneem so she can feed her children. And to others. ❤️

What indeed? Those speaking out for Gaza continue to be silenced, while the civilians need us and our donations as much as ever.

All women, children, and men over 50 were released under previous ceasefire agreements. It's important to make a record of all the pro-Israel propagandists spreading this lie and getting millions of views. Academics need to publish studies on how Zionist propaganda fell apart in the 21st century.

These are the same kind of weasels who would’ve called George Washington & America’s revolutionaries “terrorists.” They spend their days sucking up to King Trump & demonizing peaceful protest just as some in America sought to appease King George III. 

Looking forward to No Kings Day.

Organizers largely blew off the rhetoric, but some Democrats online criticized the tone.

God this is going to sound obnoxious but I'm doing it anyway: one of the most radical and genuinely bolshy things you can do right now is just fucking check stuff. Take a moment, find some sources, talk to some humans, corroborate stuff using independent pathways.

It is going out of fashion fast
