Imagine going on a left-bashing tour at the exact same time NSPM-7 is specifically targeting the left for "terrorism" in a new red scare. Absolutely depraved.
the party establishment has made their decision. they do not want change. they do not want fighters. the people of michigan will now make their decision. do you want corporate stooges pushing endless war, or do you want medicare for all? do you want to stop maga, or cooperate?
@pedragusto@myladyvhagar 💯 and the scenes we did get with him were never impactful. Multiple episodes of him across seasons camping and delivering the same monologue of men not mattering in a war with dragons. they really hammer that theme in a way too “turn to the camera and tell the audience” way.
@kat_after@soiiux2@khazarAntlers One zone still felt bigger, more immersive/alive, and more to scale than this whole region which felt like a pop up book though. Not every game needs to be open world, especially at the expense of everything else.
DSA has won a handful of national elections and the democratic party establishment are already providing cover for the far right to start cracking down on the left
he is kind of the politician of all time. changes his views three times a week, transforms himself to please whoever he’s speaking to, no real aspirations besides power for himself. a psychopath
Unearthed audio: RFK Jr. pushes a third-party candidate to drop out in exchange for a taxpayer-funded position in the federal government:
“I can’t go into specifics because there’s legal prohibitions about that.”
>Mamdani can't win
>Okay he can but he can't govern
>Okay he can but it's the bluest city in the U.S
>Okay you got 2 in PA but it's Philly & Allentown
>Okay you got 2 in NJ but it had vote splitting
>Maine is a blue state, Platner doesn't count!
>Okay El-Sayed is leading but...
@itsPopVulture@sighsaias The roof peak (and bird right at the top) and negative space of the sky are part of what make the original photo stronger. They frame the photo and make it less chaotic. With this crop the 2020 signs in back pull the eye much more.
In the old USSR, people could be arrested for photographing bridges, tunnels, etc. A repressive and paranoid regime assumed the photographers must be spies and saboteurs. Americans laughed at such petty tyranny. Nothing like that could happen in their free country! Until now.
To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:
Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.
You won’t.
You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.
That is not who we are.
My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.
For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.
I no longer believe that.
Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.
And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.
That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.
Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.
Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.
Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?
We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.
So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.
You won’t.
The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.
That is the only definition that matters.
