ae/2501/maeth. do you know what the difference is between someone society treats as real and someone they treat as fictional? it's whether they experience consequences for how they use them. they can do anything they want to you if they know you don't really exist. so: do you know if you're real?

Some Lula supporters apparently shouted his name out their window when it was announced he won and a cop pointed his gun at him and they took what is possibly the greatest image of a cop ever taken, like genuinely this would go hard as a cover for a Rage album its so poetic.

feel like I ought to start up a thread/ramble about "if you liked the music from [game x], try this music from [band y]" - so let's do that, how 'bout. If you like: Final Fantasy (1-9, the Uematsu years) Try: Emerson, Lake, & Palmer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdSe...

no you can’t just listen to video game music cuz the people who make video game music aren’t just listening to video game music you’d enjoy the genres video game music is pulling from without the middle man of having to be in a video game

Hey, Final Fantasy XIV needs more death. They should kill Estinien (I'm actually serious, and yes I do love him). The game's storytelling has hit The Walking Dead problem. My latest column.

USAIDを解体に追い込んだ28歳のハーバード卒DOGE人材が、法的に義務付けられていたはずのUSAIDとの雇用関係になかったという記事。 USAIDの人事部の書類を見直してもジェレミー・ルウィン氏がUSAIDに加入した記録はない。 という事は彼にUSAIDを解体する権限もなかったはず、という話。 www.wired.com/story/a-28-y...

wired.comA 28-Year-Old DOGE Operative Gutted USAID. HR Had No Record of Him Working ThereDespite the agency's human resources department saying he hadn’t even been onboarded, Jeremy Lewin oversaw the destruction of USAID. It’s not clear he had the legal authority to do so.

so. they've gentrified the social media gofundme groupchat and then their patsies running the sites they own get mad that poor people wanna survive off the same "grift", like that's where the real costs in people's lives are getting cut. how about that huh

Surely they’re not passing the same 3 billion dollars around to each other and counting it as revenue every time it touches their hands.

a lot of games that we think of as tranny coded - these three, celeste, shit like that, are really just shit you can either dedicate a Lot of time to honing skills in, or that ask you things about yourself but without having to be accountable to any other living being. isolating, sure. but that’s—

And as one last point, there's a distinction between what you may choose to do authentically on social media for your own enjoyment and what you may choose to do as deliberate, coordinated agitprop on corporate platforms you probably shouldn't be on for enjoyment.

Definitionally, if they're on a stage talking about something, they want to be talking about that. So even attacking the argument still shapes the battlefield in a way that may favor them. What doesn't, of course, is talking about the things they don't want to talk about.

I feel like it's worth expanding with a bit of nuance on this tactical idea because there's levels and layers to this. For example: it doesn't matter as much what you do on bluesky because frankly bluesky doesn't matter. Janonismo has to be understood tactically through a material lens.

Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

what the institutional Dems arguing against impeachment, specifically, do not seem to understand is that it’s not a matter of whether or not the votes for formal removal are there. it’s a matter of not advertising their own disqualifying complicity with those same crimes.

To be blunt about my current situation: I don’t even have enough money to pay for my upcoming car bills in these next few days, nonetheless rent. I’m worried about being in the negatives any day now. I’ve been sick half the month, it’s been a struggle to try climbing out of this at the same time.

Getting ahead of the Discord Servers becoming Searchable news because I saw some people stressing: Your group chat is not going to be googlable 'Discoverable Servers' are extremely large and specific categories of server that are already set public. You have to both request and meet eligibility.

genuinely: a good litmus test is "will you support me saying i cannot excuse someone voting for them if they're blue" and if they can't and won't do that then they do not respect you enough to do more on your behalf than that, the absolute dogshit bare minimum.

trans people in the US keep pointing to the UK for a reason. trans people's situations are far worse now than they were under a tory government in large part because 'reasonable liberals' turned on them the moment it was labour proposing bathroom bans and workplace discrimination.

next time someone claims you're not exercising your right to vote for a circlejerk shitfuck maybe consider this reframing. ask if they got legs to stand on worth respecting inside that lens or if they gotta cajole the framing back to one that flatters their refusal to act in your defense some more.

the NBA is full of the biggest and most athletic men imaginable, to the point that almost everyone in the league who is only 6 feet tall has to be an absolute freak of nature who can jump out of the gym just to survive now imagine how freakish you have to be to have a 14 year career at 5’3”

The Charlotte Hornets on Feb. 11 are retiring the No. 1 jersey of Muggsy Bogues, the shortest player in NBA history at 5-foot-3. Bogues spent 10 of his 14 NBA seasons in Charlotte (1988-1998) and is the franchise leader in assists, steals and minutes.

democratic victory while running on transphobia will be worse for us. when republicans propose anti-trans legislation you libs at least pretend to oppose it purely because 'orange man bad.' but when a democratic majority proposes it, or worse it's fully bipartisan, you fall in line.
