I'm just saying, while a #CarringtonEvent during this #solarmaximum would likely destroy a lot of our electrical infrastructure, it would also basically eliminate light pollution in affected urban centers while drastically reducing our collective carbon emissions in the process.

That's why I'm voting #CarringtonEvent for #SolarCycle25

For my birthday, I'd really like it if my beloved fedi could spread word far and wide of Kitsune Tails. It's a platformer with a heartwarming story featuring queer main characters and personal discoveries in classic SMB3 style. You can find trailer, screenshots, and wishlist links here: https://kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails

It's coming out this year and the team and I have been working hard on it for several years now. Most of the team is queer in some form so by boosting you'd not only be making me happy on my birthday, but supporting a bunch of queer creators making queer art as well

yuzu kitsune tails, a purple haired fox girl, picks up samurai armor in a tower that's rapidly filling with lava. she jumps away from the rising lava and sticks her spear in the wall, doing a dashing twirl to get on top of it. she walks off the spear and into a new scene, fighting a ghost fox with armor and spear. it stabs and she jumps over, but is caught by a follow up stab. the ghost fox over extends and its ghostly powers wane, giving yuzu a chance to bop on its head

Just for clarity - I have 2 books by that guy on my shelf; like I said, it's hard to know in ADVANCE that someone is going to zip screaming down the fascist slip and slide because they've been "cancelled" for having abhorrent positions on other ppl's existence - see also, Matt Taibbi, who used to be one of my fave writers before he completely lost the plot.

I'm not BLAMING you, I'm saying "ditch Fink, he's a shitheel who thinks Ben Shapiro is wrong about everything but "wokeism" and queers."

Fun fact: "The Tragedy Of the Commons" is a hoax created by the white nationalist Garrett Hardin to justify stealing land from colonized people and moving it from collective ownership, "rescuing" it from the inevitable tragedy by putting it in the hands of a private owner, who will care for it properly, thanks to "rational self-interest":

3°C is a political choice. Future generations will think very poorly of us.

If you're wondering why I haven't made any jokes about the worm that died in RFK Jr.'s brain, it's because the worm in my brain informed me that this is no laughing matter and we should be mourning the great loss of its fallen comrade.

If you are worried about the 2 babies that died on Oct 7th and not the hundreds (likely more) that have died in Gaza since, it suggests that you value some babies more than others.

They’re all babies. People killing babies are bad people. Hamas are bad people. IDF personnel killing babies are also bad people. Politicians on both sides deciding to have their footsoldiers kill babies are bad fucking people.

That part of this is not complex at all.

I find it weird that newspapers characterize students as being “pro-Palestinian” as opposed to anti whatever you call this.

QasimRashid, 1 month ago to random

So to summarize:
Adopting BDS is criminalized
Criticizing Israel is antisemitic
Appealing to ICJ is unwarranted
Funding UNRWA is banned
Appealing to ICC Is banned
Ending the occupation is off the table
Ending the settlements is off the table
The peaceful Great March of Return is banned
Protesting peacefully on college campuses is antisemitic
Demanding return of Palestinian children held in indefinite detention in Israeli prisons is not even an option

So what are Palestinians supposed to do??

“dissent must never lead to disorder.”

lmao jk that was Joe Biden on the student protests.

mcnado, 1 month ago to random

Someone explain to me the argument for snipers at a student protest.

I have seen zero reports of protest-related shootings. I have seen zero reports of cops being killed by students. I have seen zero reports of students taking hostages. Why the everloving fuck are cop shops putting guys with guns on the roof? It makes no sense.

exchgr, 1 month ago to random

speaking as a jew, it’s not antisemitic to call for the end of a genocide. it is antisemitic to use accusations of antisemitism as a cover for carrying out genocide

TFW there's an update that not only is it a bike lock, it is the specific brand of bike lock (and chain) that Columbia's "public safety" department sells. https://www.404media.co/email/1cc25606-201a-4f10-87ce-aeefa8285c3f/

In case you needed that to counter some "outside agitator" bs anyone in your life is getting into.

WEEK 30: Just a member of staff at Indiana university escorting two snipers to the roof of an administration building.

Campuses aren't being rocked by protests.

They're being rocked by politicized administrators ordering students beaten and jailed to satisfy the political elite.

Let's be clear who is causing the violence.

JuliusGoat, 1 month ago to random

The bribed Supreme Court is ruling on whether or not, for example, Joe Biden, is allowed to order the military to take, for instance, the Supreme Court, and to have them, for example, murdered.

You’d think this would be an easy one but actually it looks like it’s gonna be kind of close.

Myerman, 1 month ago to random

Also and I can’t stress this enough - the “violence” you’re seeing on campuses over the last few weeks? It’s because the cops are rolling in with their bullshit to break up peaceful demonstrations guaranteed by our fucking first amendment

mekkaokereke, 1 month ago to random

Most BLM protesters were white people advocating for Black civil rights.♥️ All their lives, they thought that they had the 1st amendment right to protest, because they had seen white supremacists march without being beaten by cops. They didn't realize that the right to free speech depends heavily on what you are speaking about, and who you are speaking for.

Now I'm seeing college professors and students learn the same lesson about what US cops will do to you if you speak up for the wrong thing.

If you care about voting you should have respect for protest.

If you care about protest you should have respect for voting.

What tactic is righteous? What tactic is efficient or effective? Unless you have a crystal ball you don't know. So do what you are able to do and respect and support the efforts of others in a parallel way.
