// THE VIOLENT SEIZE HEAVEN BY FORCE //
10,000 swords against heaven, the brutal occult horror xianxia tabletop TTRPG, is out for free.
you are a wanderer: asshole pugilists and wizards cultivating in a dead god's body infested by capitalists at the heat death of the universe
Nice to see this summarised by someone with impeccable Sensible credentials. Yes, austerity was a needless disaster driven by ideological idiocy; yes, the system unified to crush the anti-austerity movement, and it has now fucked itself doing so. https://t.co/yc2tTjBDF5
Absolute bombshell. An activist exposes the UK legal system's terrifying descent into authoritarianism to protect Israeli arms factories.
The judge literally banned defendants from mentioning genocide and secretly reserved the right to sentence them as terrorists.
They "achieved" this by bribing GPs to kick sick people off waiting lists without giving them any treatment btw, none of this is real, these are Mickey Mouse figures
So yesterday PCOS was renamed to PMOS. After 11 years and about 22,000 people fighting for it.
If you’re one of the women who was told to just lose weight or come back when you want children, the reason it was renamed is going to make a lot of things make sense.

my kitten started choking again today (y’all who follow me know this mf STAY CHOKING😭) & thank god i know the cat heimlich because it’s one of the scariest things when your pet starts to choke.
so here’s my bi-monthly “you should learn the cat heimlich if you have cats” tweet
The Economist here. Not so much deft exploitation of the contradiction as an open goal, gifted to Reform by a complicit media, who are structurally committed to politics as a contest between neoliberalism's Roundheads (pained PMC prigs) and Cavaliers (golf club con artists).
I don’t know if anyone will care about what I am saying, but the outside world must know exactly what is happening here… not later, but now.
What we are experiencing in Gaza has gone beyond the limits of human endurance. The camps have turned into a terrifying hotspot for the spread of diseases. With the beginning of summer and thousands of families crowded into extremely tight spaces next to garbage dumps, illness is spreading rapidly, as if it has become part of daily life. There is also an incomprehensible media silence regarding the scale of this growing health catastrophe, despite repeated warnings from medical teams and field workers.
Skin diseases, infections, and contagious illnesses are spreading widely, especially among children, in an environment that lacks the most basic conditions of hygiene or treatment. Rats are everywhere between the tents, insects are spreading heavily and causing continuous injuries, and there are no means of control such as poisons or pesticides. My nieces are part of this reality… their bodies are covered in painful bites that worsen every day without effective treatment.
The situation is collapsing with no real solutions. Medicines are scarce, disinfectants are almost nonexistent, and unsafe water is contributing directly to the spread of disease, while the healthcare system is beyond its capacity.
As of now, cases are estimated at around 160,000 people and still increasing, most of them children. This is not an exaggeration… it is a complete health collapse inside the camps.
“There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.”
There's a documentary on Netflix about these pioneers titled "A Band Called Death" I urge all fans of music history to watch. They had the opportunity to sign a major record deal but they wouldn't change their name. Fast forward 10 years and heavy, aggressive nihilistic punk/metal was a multimillion dollar industry.
