Putting out another call to help me update the FGC Locals spreadsheet! If your local fighting game tournament isn't on here, please add it, and if it is, help me keep it updated!

The big list of FGC locals now contains 530 total events, wow!
if your local isn't on here yet, leave comments on a new line with its info. If your local is closed, comment it as inactive under Status. If your local has a Bsky account, comment with that too. Thanks!

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.
I call upon the youth of the world to look at Brazil, to look at Serbia, and recognize that you *can* make a difference. You *can* turn the tide.
You gotta show. Up.
Get your asses out there and make a difference. Show fascists that they have no power that’s not given to them by fools.
In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.
capcom taking down ultimateframedata is a terrible and self-destructive move. it was a community resource used by people who played and loved the game. i can only hope that this will not go further and that FAT and Supercombo are safe.
We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.
We gotta tax the genetically engineered war dogs money out of these people right away. No one gets to be genetically engineered war dogs rich anymore. If we're gonna have a society, we gotta take these people's money until they can't just start genetically engineering war dogs whenever they want
*NEW* Colossal Biosciences’ Ben Lamm and Anduril’s Palmer Luckey team up on a new startup to genetically engineer war dogs for the military. Warhound comes out of stealth at $1.2B valuation

I wanna repurpose the wealth they hoard for good purposes of course, yes, but one of those goods is, by itself, that they couldn't just engineer war dogs, mash on data centers, control access to space, rule all media, etc anymore. Them losing their money would be a great good for society all its own
I had to go on Twitter to confirm this was real because Ship Awesome Games In A Weekend having a hand with six fingers was so on the nose I was about to pass out

How about this nice Ryu 🥋 crew neck? 👇
i finally started playing arjun on ranked and it's true, he's a very easy path through mid ranks. from the initial placement match to my promotion match for high master took me a total of only 16 matches. the whole process was like an hour & a half. what a comedian arjun is. man cracks me up
yeah pillar swing is the biggest punchline, that's the one the audience remembers when they leave the theater, but the real workhorse, the one you build most of the set around, is arm of justice. it's not gonna get the guffaws but it's what connects those big moments together. very funny guy, arjun
Israel’s Foreign Ministry attacking Brad Lander - a self-described liberal Zionist - by name, simply for doing protective presence, should be the final sign that the Israeli government would gladly sacrifice every last Jew in Diaspora to dominate more Palestinians with impunity.
I tried making a title screen for Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 look like the one from Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. Adding this to the previous existing elements to further 3rd Strikeify Mortal Kombat. Thanks again to my bro @blondetanamobay.bsky.social for helping me animate this together.
since California ballots are now out:
prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them
but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box
yes on 40, no on 41 and 42
❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this.
Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.
Let's goooooo I finally got a perfect score in MapTap!! I've gotten in the 990s many times, but today I finally nailed it!

Final score: 1000
I really resent Musk twisting cool ideas into scammy evilry and tainting them with his white supremacy, oligarchic hierarchy, anti-trans hate, etc. A set of thrusters dressed up as a car doing a kick flip could be a rad magic trick. Instead he contorts it into tedious racist scammery. Fuck that guy
Space exploration. So cool. Truly lovely idea. But since it went from a thing we share collectively to the province of a bigoted fascist capitalist who sees it partly as a way to scam investors & partly as his escape from an Earth he's trying to destroy, I can't feel the same about it. Fuck that guy

Personally, I think what really threatens American Jews is insisting our safety is dependent on denying what the whole world sees, that the Israeli gov committed war crimes against Palestinian civilians. Force people to think protecting Jews means denying reality, and they will stop caring about us.

i'm playing modern arjun. he has bad defense but his offense is zany enough that he may be strong anyway. hard to tell much from day 1, except that launch arjun is obv gonna be like launch honda, really fun for a week until opps learn what he does, and then i'll have to actually learn what he can do
Here's what we've got on the docket for the next two weeks! Through #ICFC, we're helping the grassroots FGC build viewership, attendance, & finances. Support these fine folks:
If you understand that political antisemitism was not just the hatred of the Jew qua Jew, but an entire worldview in which the Jew stands in for border-crossing cosmopolitan ideologies that threaten the nation-state, then you understand why the Israeli right had to reinvent it from first principles.

YouTube has a stupid tracking code thing that forces you to become "friends" just from clicking a link. This creates social links G can track you & others by, with a false "consent".
Please follow the steps in this video with your account to turn that tracking BS off.

It's not about this guy's crimes. They want to kill someone in public, and this guy's crimes give them some cover for doing it. They feel aggrieved that they haven't had as much freedom to lynch w/o punishment as their parents & grandparents. They're taking back what they see as their right to kill
I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.
GREAT NEWS!!! huge thank you to everyone who donated and spread the word, and especially to @bostontekken.bsky.social for organizing quickly and getting this done way faster than anyone initially thought possible 💜
hi everyone

Zohran Mamdani is living proof it is possible to be anti-Zionist without being antisemitic, and some antisemitic anti-Zionists AND some right-wing Zionists will never forgive him for that.
Pro-Palestinian protesters gather outside City Hall to call out Mayor Zohran Mamdani for what they see as his betrayal of the movement.
"Mayor Mamdani, you can't hide we charge you with genocide" was a chant that just rang out.

Democrats caved and/or facilitated this monopolization of practically every major media property in the US into the hands of a MAGA fascist psychopath.
If the US had an opposition party, each of its presidential contenders would would vow to dissolve this monopoly by any means necessary.
