Bloodborne was a game about a world gone mad in the search for the right peptide stack

i cannot imagine what it's like to be iranian right now, the potential destruction of my people discussed as fodder for commentary, as spectacle.

i've used more analogies of america "throwing the whole civ match" than i'd like

i really don't see how ppl can be rehabilitated back from abetting and supporting this administration

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

James @GoodVibePolitik X.com A friend in Cuba just notified me that every single patient in that hospital that was on ventilators died tonight. I don't have words. James @GoodVibePolitik•4h There's something supremely saddening and enraging about seeing a hospital running on bare minimum power. Thinking about dialysis patients, babies in NICU, and others tonight in Cuba. This is a blockade of death. THE THE B

What the US is purposefully doing to Cuba should be considered genocide.

Screenshot showing the Climate Shift Index from Climate Central for March 19, 2026. There is a change in likelihood of CSI 5 across nearly the entire Western USA.

Even in a world of extremes, some events still stand out to me. This is one. All-time monthly records are being shattered.

The size of this ridge across the western U.S. is truly striking for March, and we see a very clear climate change connection.

Maybe Turning War Into a Casino Was a Bad Idea? A disturbing new low in the Polymarket era

Prediction markets are creating incentives for gamblers to target all manner of public figures—including journalists, @cwarzel.bsky.social writes. He spoke with one reporter who’d found himself the subject of death threats over his article:

The nuclear winter and decimation of medical research in America. Murdered by RFK Jr and Trump regime. Next time you/your family suffers an illness, remember who killed our future cures and preventions. Never forget.

"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids."

That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

Hot in the City: Bay Area, Sierra Nevada Brace for Unusual March Heat Wave | KQED Forecasters said an early heat wave in California could break Bay Area records and threaten the state’s fragile snowpack.

“There will be no Miracle March” to bring California more snow, writes @climatedaddykqed.bsky.social

“We’re going to get to April 1st, and we’re going to have some scary snowpack numbers, essentially everywhere,” says @weatherwest.bsky.social @ucanr.edu

Pete Hegseth Blew Billions on Fruit Basket Stands, Chairs, and Crab The Defense Department went on a $93 billion spending spree in 2025.

Whole bunch of former Hegseth coworkers at Vets for Freedom and Concerned Vets for America reading this and thinking, yep, that's Pete alright newrepublic.com/post/207555/...

Terrifying. Like, we “knew” this was how these fuckers thought/didn’t think about things, but to really see it, understanding that THIS was who was given power over funding so many cultural institutions, public benefits, etc… they just do not give a shit about life…
