Zohran Mamdani on CBS — “Socialist politics can flourish anywhere, because there is only one majority in this country, and that is the working class. It’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what we’re doing, not in the appendix.”
America’s Mayor can’t miss.
Dave Mathews in a keffiyeh holding up signs that say STOP THE GENOCIDE and STOP KILLING CHILDREN at a concert
This is not a knock on DMB but if you had told me twenty years ago that Dave Mathews would be this outspoken on an issue that Radiohead completely shat the bed on, well... I would've been surprised!
Sorry I missed your text I am processing a non stop 24/6 onslaught of information with a brain designed to survive on fruits and nuts in a rainproof cave

gotta censor the stories about SA so no one can ever be held accountable and victims can still be thrown under the bus
A trailer for a story about SA is definitely crossing the line unlike the extremely graphic Larian trailer we sat through during the Game Awards. Cool cool cool, no worries.
The sad dad protag is sad because the world has not prepared him for parental responsibility, so he must rise to the task (often overshooting).
The sad mom is sad because the world wanted nothing BUT to prepare her for this, so she faces the paradox of destruction in body and soul vs. nurturing.
Minnesota’s Boundary Waters comprise over a million acres of untouched forest and thousands of lakes and streams, accessible largely by canoe. On Thursday, Senate Republicans voted 50-49 to open the area up to mining.
Today, on Palestinian Prisoners' Day the BDS movement calls for intensifying BDS pressure against companies involved in genocidal Israel’s prison complex and its crimes against Palestinian prisoners, particularly Microsoft, HP, and Cisco.

Since the start of its ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza in October 2023, Israeli authorities have drastically escalated their policy of torture, abuse, & extreme deprivation of food & medical care against Palestinian prisoners in a desperate attempt to break their will.

representation on the screen is important--that is true. but what is more important is creating an industry where non-men and non-white and non-straight and non-cis people can have long careers in leadership positions to ensure that representation is meaningful and true.
Also also a lot of dad games are about a guy being a bad dad and then gradually becoming a good dad, and if you tried to make a game about a bad mom becoming a good mom it would get raked so hard over the coals for her being “unlikable” it would make your fucking head spin.
The reason that there are so many dad games is that some men had careers long enough that they both 1) gained the political capital to pitch and then execute a project with those themes 2) were able to sustain a career long enough that it was viable for them to parent while still work* in games.
