Hey @riotgames@VALORANT just played against someone who was using the N word freely and calling people slurs the entire time. Need to get better at a faster report/ban system and make sure they can’t play the game again. Also decided to be degrading towards LGBTQIA+… toxic
"What radicalized you?"
Watching my female relatives plan, cook, shop, decorate, clean, and organize for the holidays while the men just show up and watch TV the whole time.

A YouTuber with 38 million subscribers just beat the entire Hollywood studio system at its own game, and he did it with 80,000 gallons of fake blood and a submarine made of painted wood.
Mark Fischbach played a $6 indie horror game on his channel in 2022. The game was Iron Lung, developed by one guy, David Szymanski, in his spare time. It had no windows, no enemies you could see, just a convict trapped in a submarine navigating an ocean of blood. The entire thing took about 75 minutes to beat.
Fischbach saw something the game industry didn’t. The constraint was the feature. A single claustrophobic set. One man losing his mind. Sound design carrying all the horror that visuals couldn’t. This wasn’t a limitation to work around. This was a low-budget filmmaker’s dream.
So he did what studios would never greenlight. He wrote the script himself, directed it himself, acted in it himself, edited it himself, and paid for the whole thing out of pocket. No studio. No distribution deal. No marketing budget.
Then the gatekeepers showed up.
When he tried to get theaters, they told him the demand wasn’t there. So he posted about it. His fans called every independent theater chain in the country. Theaters started complaining to the distributor that they were getting too many calls.
Within weeks, AMC, Cinemark, and Regal announced they’d carry it. The film went from “maybe 60 theaters” to over 4,000 screens worldwide. Presales crossed $5 million before opening day.
$8.9 million on Friday. $17 million projected by Sunday. A self-distributed movie by a YouTuber, beating initial projections by 70%.
The studio model is built on the assumption that audiences need to be told what to watch. Fischbach proved that 38 million subscribers is its own distribution network. The audience was already waiting. He just had to make something worth waiting for.
If ICE agents are receiving new orders to do what they were originally supposed to be doing, then it means their current orders were to terrorize these communities and violate people’s rights.

AOC: “I would not say assassinating a young mother of three in the street is part of ICE’s mandate. Watch the video for yourself. You will see a woman trying to back up her vehicle and leave a volatile scene. And she was met with three bullets to the face.”
BREAKING: AOC destroys JD Vance on the Minnesota shooting: "VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of 3 in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not."
Boom.💥
If the dems win the midterms Trump and Vance can be impeached. Every single one of you better fucking vote and tell everyone you know to vote as well. We will not get another chance to do this.
