#Fakemon - Divergent evolution of Magnemite.

I learned a lot designing and executing this guy, I'm hoping I can do some more Fakemon with a fancy graphic like this in the future!

I made the mistake of deciding Mandi was a bartender, despite not knowing anything about alcohol.

So I’ve been reading up on mixology and like… Sometimes I’m sad I don’t drink, because these look fun.

If Heinrich Himmler were alive today, he’d be complaining about black people in video games, and also claiming that he was the reincarnation of Rufus Shinra.

My thoughts right now: potentially lower Mattata’s HP and raise its retreat cost.

I want Mattata to be a disruptive force and a potential glass cannon, but I don’t want it to be OP, you know?

Midwest Furfest’s theme this year is “villain”, so here’s a WIP of my Pokémon card costume!

Delving a bit into Mattata’s unexplored lore for this one, but also trying to make it a feasibly balanced Pokémon card… Any suggestions?

I think the most effective anti-fascist education involves teaching everybody that everybody—including you and me—has it in them to become a fascist.

Hot take: sometimes, I think we need more movies from the perspectives of the Nazis.

Way too many people see themselves in the resistance fighters and the survivors when actually, way too many people are the folks who went about their day to day business all like “yeah, but the economy!”

Watching so many people in high places go through the motions of polling and median-voter whispering can make you feel like you're in Bodysnatchers. It's worth a reminder that the typical experience of tyranny is...basically normal life. Which means we have to will ourselves to fight harder.

The Median Experience Of Tyranny

If the politics of tyranny were self-discrediting, we wouldn't need mantras like "never again."

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

Bondi to Blumenthal: "You lied. How dare you? I'm a career prosecutor. Don't you ever challenge my integrity. Do not question my ability to be fair and impartial."

You could just talk about Jim Crow. I promise you, there's no need to leave America's shores to talk about life in a fascist state

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 1d

Under the Third Reich, most Germans generally lived in the law-bound normative state, while Jews and other disfavored people were victims of the arbitrary and violent prerogative state.

The dual state is characterized by the facade of normalcy obscuring the fact of an authoritarian state.

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.

Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

To be clear, they’re using a picture from the L.A. riots because that is the last time the insurrection act was invoked.

It’s still irresponsible using that as the header of your article IMO, considering:

A. The complicated racial animus of the riots.

B. There ain’t shit going on in Portland.
