I don’t understand how anyone can play Knuckles’ Chaotix before marriage. That’s something you should only do with someone you know you can spend the rest of your life with, not just anyone

An official Japanese 1988 guide for Super Mario Bros. 3 contains a small drawing of a Thwomp on the cover that, instead of the usual grimace, has a mischievous, cat-like expression. I have created a high-quality recreation of this Thwomp.

i dont wanna be mean but we are nowhere near "woke". very little in the 2010s was truly genuinely progressive in a liberatory way. it's all aspiration and that's good but you need to be clear eyed about what you want to build

things will get better but people genuinely underestimate the amount of casual fascism even progressives are accepting and internalizing in the present. tbh. that is to say of course things will oscillate

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

You have no government.
You have a criminal conspiracy wearing the bloody skin of the Federal government, and some well-meaning people who have yet to accept the fact that the Federal government is dead.
The longer you pretend things are functioning, the more people will die.

JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

It's time to state clearly that if MAGA and Republicans can't condemn any part of this shooting, continue to blame the victim for it, and even hint that it's a just outcome that others "deserve," that's a crossing of the line that the rest of us won't ever be able to forget.
Rep. Randy Fine: "If you impede the actions of our law enforcement as they seek to repel foreign invaders from our country, you get what's coming to you. I do not feel bad for the woman that was involved."

Good example of what every elected Dem and candidate should be saying loudly right now:
Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

there will be a push to recruit young ppl. it will come to ppl whose families have been stamped into poverty beneath the boot heels of billionaires with promises of "a way out." education, travel, money. temptation will come from inside their own schools; make sure they have the tools to resist it.
