I retract my earlier assertion that backs are the worst designed body part; it’s clearly knees and solutions for knees are just as bad

God I love how being a fascist in Disco Elysium literally breaks your mind and slowly kills you. That game loudly says "Being a fascist means being miserable all the time as you try to suppress your own humanity" and it rips

i know people are eager to show MPD working with ICE but you really gotta slow down and verify info before sharing it. what are MPD supposed to do if they get called in, just not respond? but if they do, then it gets painted as ICE collaboration based on photos without info. dangerous stuff here

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

The fact that their ticket was mysteriously canceled the day before and then they were questioned by DHS is both one of the greatest political scandals and crises of my lifetime and just another fucking Thursday in 2025.

Also argentina immediately used this windfall to slash export taxes so they could replace American soybean farmers' China exports, and USAID was a major buyer of food from US farmers. Should be the easiest issue in the world for Ds to outflank trump

Costa Samaras @costasamaras.com · 13h

We're spending $20B to bail out Argentina, but they cut USAID down to the bone, causing deaths around the world. The entire budget of USAID, the whole agency, was $21B last year. Shameful.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 15h

The Trump administration confirmed that the U.S. bailed out Argentina.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had directly bought Argentine pesos in global currency markets in a bid to relieve pressure on the nation’s embattled President Javier Milei, a supporter of President Trump.

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

the fiction stuff is interesting, i've encountered a number of friendly acquaintances in "let's chat about TV" type spaces who have a full on political belief that subtext is bad. fiction needs to have clear morality that must be told explicitly to the audience. stop the show and turn to camera
