Thanks for this thread and linking to this post, my partner just went thorough a week-long convo via text trying to get his mom to acknowledge harmful behavior (both MAGA related and childhood trauma related) to no avail and I think heโll find this a good read
I def think thereโs something here, I see a really clear parallel between it & refusing to acknowledge or be held accountable for abusing your kid (or being complicit in their abuse) bc doing so would cause your entire mental house of cards to collapse and you cannot deal with those consequences
if you want to know how important it is for you to do this math: the fees patreon took from me in 2025 add up to roughly 3 months of income. that's 3 months of income i would have paid taxes on if i didn't deduct the fees from the 1099. 3 months of income i never actually had!
Iranโs people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
The South ending Reconstruction and plunging their populations into a backward looking culture and economy until it was forced to modernize by the Civil Rights movement is imo a very clean parallel.
This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.
Do you have a source for this? When trying to find info I just came across stuff related to Kevin Stitt instead (ex www.hcn.org/articles/ind... )
He does seem to have lauded Andrew Jackson for having duels which is aโฆchoice on multiple levels www.koco.com/article/okla...
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. Sheโs married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
Theyโve already sent her to Louisiana.
โsome noted they had lost fans and donors. There are some people who like Irish music but think ICE is just here to enforce the law. But Natalie OโShea, executive director at Celtic Junction, told me, โTo believe in laws over belief in people is to be colonized.โโ
As trans Americans face escalating legal restrictions, religious liberty is being invoked not as protection for minorities but as justification for exclusion. For Pagan traditions that affirm gender diversity, the implications are profound.

This is not just cursed, its monstrous. The digital resurrection of a historian who died in January of this year, all so Grammarly can get some more clicks and engagement from students and/or scholars and/or others.
It feels so wrong on so many levels, these ghosts enslaved to AI forever
Itโll be interesting to replay Chrono Cross now - I know there are a lot of people who really dislike it or think it doesnโt hold a candle to Chrono Trigger but I expect it still very much enjoy it
Beat it after having the final boss fights dragged out over like three days bc of schedule and bedtime. 10/10, can see why itโs such a classic - there was a point where I was like โI mean this is good but Iโm not sure why it has SO much staying powerโ but then I hit the 12,000 BC stuff and I got it
โThis is the best healthcare that many aliens have received in their entire lives.โ This is how the DHS ends their press release announcing the death of Alberto Gutierrez-Reyes in ICE detention in California. @lataco.bsky.social
this is Jesse's entire game: instilling readers with the *feeling* that something is horribly wrong with gender-affirming care w/o providing a shred of evidence it's actually happening (because it isn't)
This is bad, and part of what makes it so bad is that this is clearly pulling from *genre* understandings of reality, which the statistical linguistic machine seemingly cannot distinguish from other text included in the training data. Truly an ideology machine where every episode of CSI is true.
thank you! we are truly blessed to have so many deeply cute animals ๐ฅฐ

Meanwhile this is how Pluto demands to be carried bc every animal in this house is Extra in at least one very specific way. He loves uppies more than any cat Iโve ever met & this has become our silly morning routine, but there are much worse things than doing chores with a purring cat on your chest
I lived a few streets down from the site where the Philadelphia Police Department firebombed an entire city block in 1985, and when I mention it in lecture most of my students seem absolutely incredulous
Ms. Wilkins, the daughter of a financial specialist in the aerospace industry (her mother) and a global consumer products executive for Gillette (her father), had lived in London and Switzerland, and for a time attended elementary school at Collรจge du Lรฉman in Geneva. She is originally from the Boston suburb of Weymouth, but likes to emphasize her time living in Arkansas. "There are just some things the limousine liberal will never understand from the coasts," she recently wrote.

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own governmentโs repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Take ten minutes to get on the phone and help stop this violent, dangerous bill. The linked post has all the resources you need to make that call. Go go go
But itโs both frustrating and kind of terrifying to interact with because what do we do when weโre surrounded by horrific propaganda and also people have intentionally decided they just genuinely do not care about any kind of fact checking or sourcing and that anyone who does is out to get them??
and I point out any issues (like a clearly AI generated video that also did not list any f-ing sources), then Iโm intentionally exhausting them until theyโre too tired to argue, being manipulative, etc. The wording has been SO similar that I suspect RW influencers are laundering the rhetoric
Iโve also noticed a big uptick lately in justโฆgenuinely not caring about sources? Iโve had multiple convos where someone says something absolutely BONKERS and when I ask for a source the answer is โyou people always pick apart sources, go look up your own sourcesโ or if they do provide sourcesโฆ
V excited to finish this game so I can replay Chrono Cross, which was the first JRPG I ever played and is v nostalgic to me. Looking forward to playing it as an adult who fully understands crafting mechanics and battle strategies and also is more able to follow complex storylines ๐
Almost done playing Chrono Trigger for the first time and have had to look some stuff up, which has landed me on old old GameFAQs threads and just really made me appreciate how true to life the @friends-table.bsky.social episode descriptions for Perpetua have been

Inclusion does not mean giving marginalised people shittier versions of a thing: Sure you can give kids from poorer backgrounds an LLM to "learn" but what you are saying is that poor people are not worth having trustworthy sources of information. When you say that older or lonely people can talk to chatbots to feel less alone you are saying that some people are not worth a social life. This is a deeply inhumane perspective that goes actively against the ideas and ideals of inclusion. likesupportcelebrate 186 You and 185 others
