As someone living in a US colony with recruitment levels well above the national average, the army absolutely preys on the poor.
I can't speak to the composition of the military at large but there's a vested interest in keeping life miserable here so that the military feels like the only way out
Eeeew, and here I was thinking about signing up
Writing a horror short and got myself upset at 4 in the morning 😭
Sinners deserves Best Cinematographer simply for the fact that it's a modern movie where you can tell what's going on during all the night scenes
A head saying the word, "Oof!"
A young woman crying, while saying, "Permission to kill myself?"
A shocked guy with the words 'Are We Deadass?' Overtop
A girl giving the middle finger

I'm not sure what to think. But I continue to trust Fujimoto.
Part 3 announcement or we riot
living in a walkable city where you can get anywhere you need by walking, by bus, or train is goated in an economic collapsed based entirely on gas prices
Yeah, I didn't get it until somebody showed me the Monster Hunter Set. Then I understood
Akira Toriyama died two years ago today. When he passed, I explained how Black American fans of Dragon Ball reinterpreted the series into a contemporary pillar of our culture.
I loved writing this essay, and I hope you enjoy it, too. Piccolo is wearing a wave cap.

Every remaining Trump supporter is a pedo protector. No exceptions. Keep them away from your kids.
It's pretty gnarly. If you're fragile RN you're probably better served just sticking to secondhand. It's just emails until it's not 😭
We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”
Is owlbear rodeo down?
So.. a funding increase and some rules they don't have to follow.
Dems are worse than useless bruh
My current favorite thing about Jurassic Park (novels) is how we watch Dr Malcolm bleed out over the course of several chapters, come to a complete character arc, then die. Like, Word of God confirmation dead.
Then in Lost World he's back with a cane, a limp, and an agenda like "lol they lied".
People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie
Why would you believe people who tell you that the US can't shut down institutions at the drop of a hat when you are currently witnessing this administration do it in real time?
NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."
By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.
You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.
Holy shit.
Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

Which wholly undermines the (bullshit) argument that the ICE agents were acting in self-defence.
Obviously, a new excuse will be found but you should be clear that US citizens now have fewer rights than enemy combatants in an actual war do.
I will not be shocked by reports that The Water has gotten wetter.
It’s always been wet.
I will not yearn for the days when The Water wasn’t so wet.
It’s always been wet.
The Water will be wet and will stay wet until it is GONE.
Say what you will about StarCraft lore, one thing they got right is how hard it is to get rid of fucking Confederates
Most propagandized country on earth. Toddlers with chainsaws
so many folk telling on themselves by being unable to condemn trump's actions without also mentioning that they do not support maduro
You realize they gave the Nobel Peace Prize to a woman who begged Trump to invade Venezuela and steal all their natural resources right?
What's the difference between her getting it and him getting it? Theyre the same evil freak.
When I say there is no democracy in this country, this is what I mean. We have no democratic control of *anything* no matter how consequential. We can’t stop a genocide, we can’t impeach a billionaire pedophile, we can’t stop an AI CSAM factory.These are all related.
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
People are convinced that grimdark worlds are more "realistic" but I disagree. In the worst places and conditions and places on earth, people have found ways to create joy and meaning, to foster hope and goodwill, move forward.
Giving in and accepting is only one response to the world's horrors.
