🚪 NEW VIDEO 🕷️

Magic: The Gathering's Spider-Man couldn't be on Magic Arena so they turned Spider-Man into Magic: The Gathering cards. Does that make sense? NO! Let's talk about this fascinating mess!

This is actually what is going to happen.

That’s already what’s happening in Lebanon. Israel kills regularly, violates the ceasefire agreement on an hourly basis.

It’s just not on the news anymore.

This is why pressure against Israel mustn’t just continue, but increase.

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis

CAIRO—As part of a historic ceasefire agreement with Hamas following two years of war, the Israeli government reportedly agreed Thursday to go back to killing Palestinians on a less frequent basis. “I...

I wrote my first ever play after my scriptwriting lecturer bumped into me at the uni library, & reminded me that the deadline was midnight that night. I thought I had a whole extra month.

I blasted a 90 min 2 hander out in 6 hrs, with no prep, & got my first 1st when it was marked. Fuck "AI".

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

The last ceasefire was broken by Israel hours into the agreement.

The current "peace" plan *may* end the immediate bloodshed & let needed aid in, but it's no roadmap to Palestinian sovereignty or liberation.

Sanctions, divestments, & embargos against Zionist occupation are still required.

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

Multiple tweets from Nazi Jack Posobiec in 2016 making "jokes" involving the Nazi code "1488."

I enjoyed the attention to the character of Sokrates, & the spells-only way his yapping was represented. Would have loved to have heard more about some specific gameplay moments from its final form to gauge how it was to face against,- although the haunted voice mails were certainly evocative!

I've not listened to anything beyond the samples that have been making the mocking rounds. But it just sounds like a bag of twitter gags that were big last decade being slapped on top of a guitar. Who's saying "she girl bossed too close to the sun" seriously in 2025- let alone as a song lyric??

Like, Labour received fewer votes in the last election than they did under Corbyn, but over DOUBLED the amount of seats they held in parliament. These predictions show how flimsy their actual gains were, and I'm just tired of living in a kingdom which can't even get elections right.

Bourgeois "democracy" is already intrinsically undemocratic. But the UK's abysmal first-past-the-post system, where a party with a quarter of the vote share could hold a majority of a country's seats, is just mechanically fucked.

It's wild that a video I threw together in ~3 weeks, whilst dealing with a massive life upset, is outperforming all but one of my other releases. Not gonna stop putting my whole ass into my essays (see upcoming) but still; absolutely odd!

Screenshot of the YouTube studio app showing spice's latest video has received:
183.4k views, a 5% click-through rate, and an average view duration of 15:50

A screenshot of the YouTube studio app showing Spice's last video is out performing 8 of the last 9 videos it released on the channel.

One of the main reasons Liberals hate Marxists is because we tend to be right, but too early to be convenient.
Alarm bells exist to warn of the first signs of fire, not to toll in mourning of a home reduced to embers.

The fact that the pendulum *has* to swing the other way, what with the inherent instability of liberalism & fascism's fundamental inability to "fix" its issues, doesn't mean that we can wait until the tide turns to act.

CW// Fascist settler police brutality & rape

I was going to say "if this irredeemably evil state is doing this [1] to the west's most prominent young activist, we can only imagine what they're doing to the Palestinians whose stories are never told" - except, we don't have to imagine. We know [2]

Text: Turkish journalist and Gaza Sumud Flotilla participant Ersin Celik told local media outlets he witnessed Israeli forces “torture Greta Thunberg,” describing how she was “dragged on the ground” and “forced to kiss the Israeli flag.”

Text: ‘Everything is legitimate’: Israeli leaders defend soldiers accused of rape
Israeli society is divided over the arrest of 10 soldiers for the brutal gang rape of a Palestinian prisoner caught on video.
