SECRETARY RUBIO: Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Irans had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have had a much different country.
objectively the funniest critique an american could level at another country
feels appropriate to bring up the "if you can walk to the cafe but the barista has to drive an hour to work there, you dont live in a walkable community, you live in a theme park" anecdote here
Doing a land acknowledgment and then editing an Indigenous artist's speech after she spoke up for Palestine is such a Canadian moment.
IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS. WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK. AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE. SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS. THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES. IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.
the Black Panthers were right
No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor
I'm sorry I can't stop thinking "all democrats know how to do is fund police, do means test and lie" on repeat now
This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live
I’m sorry to hear this, but I’m sure she’ll be well taken care of ❤️❤️

“It’s come to shape the way I think about every country, every community: Whose nonexistence is necessary to the self-conception of this place, and how uncontrollable is the rage whenever that nonexistence is violated?”

A pretty shocking clip from today. An LAPD officer on horseback tramples a protester who then falls in front of another horse. As others try to help the protester up, an LAPD officer wields a blunt weapon to strike the protester, but strikes a nearby horse in the head.
Black Immigrants got deported for Ferguson and are being deported for protesting Palestine
Haitian Immigrants are still among the most targeted by ICE
Immigrants from Africa are most restricted over time

Reggie Watts statement, 1 of 2: “I was disappointed to see that Thom's statement centers his hurt feelings and frames his fans' demands for him to speak up as a "social media witch hunt," instead of recognizing the urgency of their call for him to speak out against the world-historical humanitarian crisis in Palestine. I hope Thom will reflect and decenter himself from the public outcry against the genocide, because if he and his artistic legacy stand for love and humanity as he asserts, he can come to see his fans' actions as an act of loving solidarity with suffering people-a needed affirmation of our humanity in these dark times.”
Reggie Watts statement 2 of 2: “I also want to address Thom's repetition of a common rhetorical tactic of those who are devoted to maintaining the status quo, that one cannot speak up or demand an end to the genocide unless they fully understand the deep "complexity" of this historical conflict. I urge Thom's fans to reject this conviction-neutralizing, demobilizing sentiment and trust their hearts. You don't need to be a geopolitics scholar to know that starving children and slaughtering families is wrong. Your membership in the human family gives you authority and, indeed, responsibility to speak up. All positive change starts with conscious and loving people raising their voices and working together to bring a better world into existence. Please keep fighting until our sisters and brothers in Palestine are free.”
Reggie Watts addresses Thom Yorke’s statement on Palestine and it’s good
Bombs are martial thrown weapons, so if you’re a Starlit Span Magus then I think by the rules you could make ranged spellstrikes with alchemical bombs.

Honestly that is the biggest draw for Giant Instinct. It’s such a satisfying mechanic.
Last bit of advice: if you’re willing to rebuild, Elemental Barbarian (particularly wood, but air/water also) with Kineticist feats will give you more choices on your turn so you’re not always stuck to Striking all round long.
Also something that can help with the feeling of “just waiting to attack again” is using your reaction to Aid. Spend an action preparing to help somebody else’s attack, then jump in on their turn to roll the check and give them a big bonus
This won’t really help turns feel longer per se, but throwing in a Demoralize/Intimidate before you attack adds some variety to actions

When I had a violent stalker who would graphically describe how he would have me gang raped, puncture my organs and and break all my bones, I was told the police "couldn't do anything".
Consider this a reminder that they absolutely ✨can✨ do something.
They just don't care about YOU.
