Remember this image every time someone tells you that protesters are "hurting their cause."

Those people are the red bars. In 40 years, we'll look back at them the same way.

She called Trump to dedicate it to him. She’s his crony.

Why are you celebrating his cronies?

Giving it to someone trying to do an antidemocratic authoritarian regime change should not receive a peace prize.

If you're a monster that loves CIA backed coups and regime change which universally results in far right corporatists selling the country out from under the people.

I guess if you think that's good, sure.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Here’s what running over a hundred games of daggerheart has taught me:

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

Exactly. And so many people don’t know and they’re just gonna be like. Yay you didn’t pick Trump.

Gotta say, if anyone can fumble an easy layup, it’s the Nobel Committee. There’s not a ghoul they won’t gloss.

And they sure didn’t fail their track record this year.

Wanna do something.... different? You won't find this setting in the Daggerheart book. Victoriana. Magic is illegal for the have-nots. (Of which you are.) Nightmares are coming to life in the dark. Let's get a little Bloodborne up in here.

I don’t disagree that speaking out is good. I just don’t think they’re actually in charge of their bajillions of fans in any meaningful way.

And of course the win went to one of his evil cronies. Because they couldn’t give it to him but they had to throw him a bone.

Olivia Hill @machineiv.bsky.social · 18h

I don’t know that that’s true.

I thought this was viral marketing for a new Resident Evil, but no it's a real third-party nootropics wholesaler running with the Umbrella branding.

You notice all the directors/etc saying they're fine with AI are saying exactly the same things about it? Sometimes word for word.

Yeah. Those are talking points.

in his defense, he might not know what it is. He might think it’s an actual football inside of the case that he has to throw if he wants to do nukes.

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

Bible quote, Leviticus 19:33-35: "Do not mistreat foreigners living in your country, but treat them just as you treat your own citizens. Love oreigners as you love yourselves, because you were foreigners one time in Egypt. I am the Lord your God."
