abolish ICE defund any other dept or agency that collaborated with ICE ensure no former ICE agent, or collaborators dismissed via the defunding, could ever own a gun again blacklist all those above from any jobs or positions with direct oversight or interaction with the general public

one of the funniest parts of playing Black Flag Resynced is that, in retrospect, the critique of Kenway's whole "I am a pirate for FREEDOM to do WHATEVER I WANT AT ALL TIMES and THAT'S GREAT and if you're not on board you're a coward" attitude was lost on me in my youth

the Great Pirate Republic of Nassau failed bc the British did a cointelpro and Blackbeard wasn't a skilled enough organizer and didn't know about Marxism-Leninism-Maoism

seymour done dirty by the minimum 3 batters rule lol. i do not care about the AL at all, but the funniest outcome is a guardians grand slam rn.

if you are not doing something with the medium of your art or content that cannot be done with writing alone, please please just write it and let me read it.

taking 3 days off this week (one each of holiday, sick, pto) but exactly none of it has been extra restful so far. not anticipating friday will be either because that's my neighbor's funeral.

having dogs is definitely turning me from a summer to a winter guy. 4pm bonus walk? s: please no; w: definitely. storm coming? s: gonna be up all night bc he has to be babied while there's thunder; w: snowfall makes no sound at all.

a shadowy cabal WAS taking over our industry! it was billionaires, and now all you get is AI slop IP generators and exploitable remakes and rereleases. nobody who cares has a job anymore. colleagues and friends privately judged me as hysterical at the time. i hope they enjoy this world now

I'm not put out by what James Hetfield said because I have never really looked to Metallica for guidance or moral clarity or good music.

that pitch got so close to Pratt's head my app crashed, got back to the game just in time to see him bloop that single smh

everybody's yipping, dodgers playing like a .500 AL team, brewers alternating between perfect play and head scratching error

watched Hokum tonight, it's the most Resident Evil level movie i've seen in a long time (tho haven't seen the new RE yet), but it's one of those levels where you're playing somebody who doesn't have any weapons and only 3 inventory slots. plus it has a guy that looks like an Irish Zack Galifinakis.

sink it, lol

This is so sick. So a Russian blood diesel vessel is on its way to NC set to arrive tomorrow. It left St Petersburg on Sept 22nd. This Trump-Putin plan has been in the works for weeks can’t picture what allies America will have left after this

my hottest Programmed to Chill or @bloodwork.show -brained take is that the political class's execution of GWOT over the past 25 years was intentionally designed to get us to a white christian nationalist plutocratic american state that would rule the world as permanent global hegemon through findom

things bc of GWOT: - sports betting & trading apps - no Medicare for all - 2 trump presidencies - the AI cult of billionaires destroying the world - multiple current genocides (Palestine, Myanmar, Ukraine, Sudan) - the Paramount-WB merger - NFTs - militarization of cops - ICE - climate crises

it's GWOT all the way down, and it's the primary lens for analyzing american & global systems in the 21stC; ignore it at your peril

seems like every week target decides to double down on white supremacy

More Perfect Union@moreperfectunion.bsky.social

In her statement on the ICE shooting in New York, AOC specifically calls out Target. The congresswoman demands that the mega-corporation stop allowing ICE to stage paramilitary raids from its parking lots. migrantinsider.com/p/aoc-to-tar...

there are still too many libs who think these dem electeds have held this position out of some moral purity or naivete, instead of wrestling with the fact that the purpose of the system is what it does: these dems want the benefits of fascism without wanting to be held responsible for building it

Oliver Willis@owillis.bsky.social

democrats, from obama to biden and most senate democrats, hold on to this notion that the only way to defeat the gop is for them to Finally Be Morally Outraged and Tell Their Party To Stop we've spent at least four decades with this bullshit running the democratic party. people are tired of it.

how many trump policies did biden undo? how many e.o.s did he issue to counteract any of trump's? how many people did obama's gwot and drone program activities kill? why didn't he end the aumf? how much harm was caused by clinton adopting most of reagan's platform (& purging the dem left)?

sometimes you have to let the terrorists (your dogs) win (get out of their crates early bc they won't stop making that high pitched whining sound)

Netflix adaptation called Surf Dracula: Nocturne that coyly plays with the original lore of the Surf Dracula franchise but is mostly penned by playwrights and is about the expulsion of the Acadians from maritime Canada.

i truly believe that alarmism does more harm than help, but i also don't think it's alarmist in the face of this data to start coming up with functional contingencies for swift, major, and catastrophic environmental change

Extreme Temperatures Around the World@extremetemps.bsky.social

INSANE MIDDLE EAST HEAT 46C DAY 33C NIGHT The most extreme event in world history gets worse 46.3 Sharjah Uni. EMIRATES HOTTEST OCTOBER DAY EVER 44.7 Abu Dhabi 44.2 Dubai 44.0 Al Ain 43.9 Sharjah 42.6 Bateen IRAN 46.3 Omidieh OMAN 45.1 Sunaynah 43.5 Buraimi RECORD HOT NIGHTS👎

33C nights is insane btw. for the metrically challenged, that's 91.4F. in a desert. this is what Omidiyeh is usually like, it should be almost 30 degrees cooler overnight right now.

accepting fascist framing, even if you disagree with the fascist argument the framing is built to carry, means you've aided and abetted fascism reject the premise, don't fall into a trap (this message brought to you bc some lib said "biological males in girls sports" while trying to be pro-trans)

storytelling media plays an essential role in how we negotiate our shared values and imagine the future as a society. the elite slop-capture of these spaces has irrevocable consequences, and they know it

There are so many people, so many, that love film and want to dedicate their whole lives to making films, in front of the camera, behind it, in editing suites and casting rooms and makeup trailers. And that these locusts can come in and just devour the industry, take it from us all, is devastating.

I honestly have never considered switching from Google Pixel phones until they sent me a "wanna celebrate destroying the lives of trans people" as a system update.

spent an hour+ farming a boss for a 0.6% drop rate weapon (didn't get it ofc), forgot how much of a slog bl4 can be when playing solo and not doing missions

also tried to stick with "formative" and am cheating a bit since some of these are representative of entire series

Gary Alexander@garyalexander.bsky.social

i tried to stick to "formative only" here so theyre all old my9games.net/en/

this is the deal that every social sciences phd program should be offering

I am thrilled to announce that the American Studies Program at Boston University will be accepting new PhD Students for the 27/28 academic year. These are fully funded, unionized, 5-year positions, with 4 semesters of guaranteed dissertation fellowship in years 4 & 5.

frustration with work's hosting provider plus the latest dick-to-face slaps from the news today has put me in a punching mood when all i really want to do is be left alone so i can keep going on my Dark Tower reread (currently halfway through Wolves of the Calla)

counterpoint: every day living in a monarchy you and society are being gaslit into thinking having a king is fine
