I'm not seeing any national press on the priest that was shot in the head with a rubber bullet as yet and I don't love that.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

A quick note about money and comedy and power.

www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

On a more serious note, Collins thinks the Riyadh lineup reflects something dire about both American politics and the bifurcated woke-versus-anti-woke comedy scene. Collins says there’s “a lot of money” behind enticing anti-woke comics to shill for the political project on the right. “I also like money, but I think getting hundreds of thousands of dollars to tell jokes for 10 minutes about ‘airline food is bad’ is actually illustrative of a much larger thing: The stuff that’s getting greenlit is not necessarily popular with the populace. It’s popular with rich people who are sick of being yelled at in the media. They are using some of these people as vehicles for whatever the comedy equivalent of greenwashing is.”

Today marks 3 years since I revealed Nova - and by extension Revenant - to the world, so to commemorate, my character artists and I made this!
Go give them some support as this project wouldn't exist without them. We and the rest of the team can't wait to show you what we've made

Rusty & Ziyi's reunion (comm request for Echo)

Rusty, damaged from battle, tries to brush off their wounds while Ziyi rushes to their side, tearful and holding an ice pack.
In the background, STEEL HAZE is docked inside an RLF base, where it's visibly damaged from the mission "Unknown Territory Survey". Rusty is still in an Arquebus jumpsuit, and is finally returning home.

Not a fan of how every entertainment platform is slowly being acquired/consolidated by conservative billionaires who are all friends and hang out with eachother on the weekends. Feels not good.
