I just think older people had better propaganda

it's Bandcamp Friday, when (minus payment processor fees), 100% of the money you pay musicians goes straight to them. today is the day and it's a good one. here's what i'm picking up today:

Fuck it, I'm not approving it still. But they're getting away with it because their games are engaging enough.

I'm convinced that if not for the giant success of From software games, not a single narrative designer would've approved of the ways they deliver story

Unbelievable

I also know a story by proxy of a guy that changed his last name from again an ethnic sounding one (plus some daddy issues). The kicker was his new last name was for some reason Jewish. Why? Just because.

I have two cis cousins that named themselves. Iirc one changed her name at the suggestion of her coach/clairvoyant she frequented. The other (it is my understanding) wasn't happy her name sounded too ethnic.

Asking this as a white woman coded person myself

Are affirmations a scientifically backed thing or do white middle class women crave validation so much they created a niche industry

I'm so sorry you're going through this.

Well I suppose that is true

Maybe they're young

Yesterday, Trump stood in front of the world and said the "next one is gonna be Cuba".

He is intentionally starving the people of Cuba, cutting off their revenue, and plunging the country into darkness.

Cuba tried to negotiate too, just like Iran, but as we all know, this means nothing to the US.

Good, I see the council is assembled. We have mews from the outer rim to discuss.

Progressives in the UK who still haven't got the message: the TERFs are now trying to bankrupt the Greens through repeated litigation, with a fresh round dropping now they're demonstrably a credible choice in elections.

Join the dots. "Feminist" transphobia is a vassal of fascism.

Like listen I'm not a fan of Iranian retaliatory strikes myself but this wording is plain ridiculous

Yeah what else were they supposed to do? Just eat it? You could've at least copied the article title, but no, propaganda wouldn't post itself

You Are Jeff Bezos is great, @direkris.itch.io is great, and You Are Elon Musk is great.

Yup... Life is fun near NATO bases!

Our government said we're not going to receive siren alerts, like at all, so look out for sms warnings instead 🫠

And then they tested the SMS alerts and those came with long delays if at all!

guys i hate to admit it but mindfulness does work unfortunately. unfortunately that woo woo shit is really good and effective but it accumulates over time and not all at once so it's easy to write off but gang unfortunately i have to report that it is actually good practice

Hopefully the Aussies will join him too. Their chemistry is out of the park

Probably a coincidence

Isn't it y'all?

The title didn't lie one bit, did it
