I literally don't have words for the news of EA closing Bioware. Unconscionable, incompetent, soulless decision-making. May everyone involved in these decision suffer Renegade interrupts for the rest of their lives.
The US violated international law in attacking Iran. To uphold that law, it needs to lose this war. I'm sorry for Americans for whom this causes uncomfortable feelings. We're the Russians in Ukraine here.
Graham Platner killed Iraqis and Afghans. He should be in prison. Idgaf about how he treated his ex- men are pigs, next story. I do care about how he (fucking willingly!!!) contributed to the destruction of the Middle East, though.
We can, and absolutely must, do better as American citizens.
Let me be very clear: What he did to his wife was bad. Very bad. But, frankly, given the other controversies surrounding him, this should not be the main thing that we focus on. He is not just a pig, but rather a fucking monstrous demon whose should be regarded the same way Epstein is.
Timeline cleanse, showing a better world is possible:
Last week, the Brazilian government released MEC Livros, a free online library with 8,000 ebooks:

In just one week, over 122,000 ebooks were borrowed.
BREAKING NEWS: The U.S. is preparing possible “final blow” options against Iran if talks fail like seizing key islands (e.g. Kharg, Abu Musa), blockading oil routes, or launching massive airstrikes (and potentially ground ops).
Forces are being deployed, but no decision yet.

The amount of Western people you can find telling Iranians to not feel any possible emotion they might be having right now, yes they can be devastated, happy, angry, sad, furious, terrified - they have a right to all these and more: their oppressor seems murdered by the hands of their oppressors.
The world's two rogue states, Israel and the USA, have started a war not against Iran but against the whole world. We stand with Iranians, with Humanity, against the notion that Israel and the US can bomb anyone their fancy takes them to bomb. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...
The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.
I don't care if you fear demonetization; if you say "Unalived" or "pdf file" I'm not taking you seriously. If you're too chickenshit to use real words you're too chickenshit to take the subject matter seriously and need to find something else to talk about.
Word Game (文字遊戯), a game where everything is portrayed via Japanese text, is lighting up the Japanese eShop and Steam charts. It’s actually based off a Taiwanese game that was said to be untranslatable, but I guess they were wrong! Something tells me an English version isn’t coming anytime soon…
Been too long since the last update, tasks that weren't shareable, but this one is and I'm really proud of how it turned out! Did tons of study for this one with many great animation learnings to carry forward!
Pls like and share! 🔥❤️

I'm not going to do a global political analysis right now.
I am going to tell you that I'm just old enough to remember the last time we had this same stupid fucking war, and tell anyone under 30: Do not enlist in the military. They will ruin your life and they do not care. Please don't do it.
It really feels like screaming into the void sometimes. I tell my friends and family about the various ways that the US is descending into the darkness of authoritarianism, and it's just met with shrugs and an occasional "yeah sucks man, but what can I do?"
brought to life when its interests are threatened, its authority over humanity questioned. If the fading of the anti-Gaza genocide protests is anything to go off, I can't help but think that deep down, Americans support Trump's strikes as they reaffirm America's fledgling power in the world.
I hope I am wrong here, and I want nothing more than to see my people collectively stand up against these atrocities and bring the American war machine to heel. I go to bed tonight praying that I'm wrong.

Some of my best friends in the world are from Iran. They have helped me through very dark times in my life, and their kindness and warmth were antidotes to the cynicism toward humanity that I once held. Unfortunately, the past year and a half has seen those feelings resurge in me, and...
It doesn't help that while they suffer, my politicians robotically parrot anti-Iranian and anti-Muslim talking points, my media cackle and howl in giddy laughter at it all, and my society at large just does not care to do anything about it. The American heart is a small and dormant one, only...

People don't understand the danger of apathy. I know that overreacting and shrieking at every tragedy isn't productive, but after a while, it reaches a point where the only thing that you can do is either yell or just become complicit in the crime yourself by way of silence.

The best interview I have watched about Israel and America’s illegal invasion of Iran. Hoda Katebi is inspiring in ways that we could all learn from. It’s on all of us to fix this! We must resist!
I cannot emphasize this enough, an Israel-Western regime change operation against Iran would lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths. We have seen this play out before, several times in the past decades. Anyone who tries to justify this madness will have blood on their hands.
The shit US and Israel and Russia are doing as agitators, aggressors, and genociders is fucking up what I can only call the global game balance around nukes, and I don't like where the new meta is landing.
Reminder that Iran has a right to defend itself under international law. It is defending itself from a belligerent power. Simple as that.
Israel’s leaders should be in The Hague by now, and Trump, Biden, and Harris should be sent with them for good measure.
We should not be both-siding this. There is one side that clearly has done more to instigate this conflict. Iran is bad, yes, but it is still a country and has the right to territorial integrity, etc. under international law. It should not have been attacked. Period.
I strongly oppose Israel’s attacks against Iran and Iran’s attacks against Israel. Both endanger civilians and risk all-out war.
If you’re like my opponents and only condemning one side, I hope you find a spine and some moral clarity.
You *must* swallow your impulse to parse and nitpick and find fault with protestors’ actions right now. We need solidarity so badly. It’s literally all we have. I am begging you, as a mother of 2 kids who is terrified of martial law, to find it in yourself to support the protestors. We need you.
every AI guy I talk to maliciously uses socialist talking-points while propping up a tool that's in the business of burning the planet, supplanting education, and obliterating jobs. where the 12 gauge at
you just DON'T get to talk about lifting people out of poverty while ignoring the climate situation. it's irresponsible and anti-life. you don't get to talk about potential societal improvement while others are caught totally destabilized. it's so brazenly contradictory.
Babies that are about to die of starvation are already in an acute state of malnutrition, massively more vulnerable to infant and child mortality. This is intentional. This is genocide by the Zionist regime, and there is no other word to describe it.
14,000 Palestinians may have already died in just one day.
That’s on par with the worst massacres that occurred in WWII. Arms embargo now. Free Palestine!
Here's what's happening, as far as I can tell. 🧵
-The US agreed with Hamas to release Edan Alexander in exchange for lifting the siege on Gaza.
-Edan was released, but Trump betrayed his promise. Israel continues to starve Gazans.
Why are some people so up in arms about boycotting TES IV remake? Microsoft is now on the BDS list. We should boycott unnecessary products when we can.
You do not need this game. Chill out.
With the Oblivion remaster taking up the hype cycle, it's probably a good time to re-up that the Palestinian-led BDS movement has asked for a boycott of Microsoft's gaming products due to the company's ongoing and enthusiastic technical support for the IDF's ongoing genocide in Gaza.
"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."
"Hey man, why are you so down recently?" (Implicitly saying: You're such a debbie downer now bro, get over yourself)
