I know itโ€™s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you canโ€™t Do The Work when youโ€™re starving.

Panel 3: one of the other monkeys, now looking super buff and badass, grabs him by the arm to save him heroically. โ€œMonkey Stronger Together.โ€

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as โ€œpornography,โ€ people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict โ€œpornographyโ€ and what that actually means

In the wake of a massive confirmation that the tech industryโ€™s run by deranged pedophiles, not a single tech platform should have the balls to start demanding ID and enacting invasive policies.

Yet they continue. Theyโ€™re the ones being outed as dangerous and weโ€™re the ones being regulated.

Vice headline reads: "Zara, Nike, and Abercrombieโ€™s Indian Factories Werenโ€™t Fully Paying Workers"

The story was reporting on something put out by the Workers Rights Consortium.

Story at Mind The Gap reads: 

CASE STUDY: Zara fights sanctions for forced labour in Brazilian supply chain

Spanish fast fashion giant Zara, an Inditex brand, has been found to source clothes from Brazilian workshops with modern slavery conditions but fought against sanctions in court โ€“ showing how corporations seek to avoid liability by hiding behind complex supply chains.

Disappointed to learn Bad Bunny wore Zara, effectively promoting the brand to millions. Although Zara has made admirable strides to address labor conditions, fast fashion can never be ethical because it depends on rapid production and cheap prices, which results in worker exploitation.

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"

No you don't.

If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

No Games For Genocide The games industry is complicit in genocide. Itโ€™s time to divest.

Anyway, Microsoft's gaming products are subject to a boycott from the BDS movement, due to Microsoft's ongoing support for the IDF. Bethesda is owned by Microsoft.

โ€œInside Dems' 11th-hour push to force changes to ICEโ€

Why it matters: When Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) returns to Washington this week, he will have a growing bloc of Democrats demanding significant concessions from President Trump.

A group of around 10 Senate Democrats is coalescing around a list of demands for changes at DHS, including requiring warrants for arrests and mandating that federal agents identify themselves, multiple sources said.
The group also wants to demand that DHS cooperate with state and local investigations into incidents like the shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota.
But some moderate Democrats might not be willing to go that far, a repeat of the dynamic that fractured Democrats in last year's government shutdown battle.
And the clock is ticking, with government funding set to partially lapse at the end of the day Friday.

I was trying to figure out why Clawline was not triggering about 10% of the time while in the middle of an intense platforming session in Silksong

It turns out, this necessary platforming tool uses SILK, a FINITE RESOURCE to function ๐Ÿ˜ฉ
