The Pitch for a #Unity Ticket in 2024 Keeps Getting Weaker
As it seemingly embraces a 15-week abortion ban, No Labels, the group pitching a third-party alternative, increasingly looks like a Joe #Biden#spoiler.
As questions endure about the #No#Labels—a group that has pitched itself as a #bipartisan band intent upon propping up a third-party candidacy with a “unity ticket” in #2024—seems to be adopting—if quietly—the latest #Republican position du jour on #abortion.
This afternoon I watched the #documentary Hot Type: 150 Years of The Nation (2015), directed by Barbara Kopple, which oddly doesn't have a Wikipedia entry. But you can read about it. It was mostly filmed during the 2012-13 election season so it feels like a historical oddity now. Like, Romney specifically doesn't seem like "the worst" of America, nor does Obama seem like "the best." Our value system has been reoriented. Will The Nation be able to keep pace with that?
Now #watching Suburban Wildlife (2019) directed by Imogen McCluskey. It's an Australian #film about four friends coming of age after college. Specifically about their coming to grips with one of their members moving away.
I have a couple more teed up but I won't tell you what they are until I'm further along. I might end up skipping the last one.
Next, and now, I'm #watching Fallen (1998), directed by Gregory Hoblit, starring Denzel Washington, John Goodman, Donald Sutherland, and James Gandolfini. It's about a cop who encounters an evil consciousness that seems to jump bodies. #spoiler#film
@signalapp I ❤️ #Signal and have persuaded a lot of people into trying it!
One thing though: I notice that the spoiler text formatting isn't recognized by everyone as being ... well ... #spoiler text. The "buzzing" point cloud doesn't invite people to tap on it. I wonder if black text boxes ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ would better convey that text is hidden and can be unhidden by tapping.
As a player of all the Baldur's Gate games I am starting to get annoyed with the "True God of douchbaggery". It is always Bhaal.
Crops fail, you stub your toe on the way to the outhouse, your toast lands with the butter side down? That means Bhaal is plotting something that involves the destruction of Baldur's Gate. Again. And Again. And again. ;)
Tiens Masto, laisse-moi te conter une petite histoire. Rien de bien long ni d'exceptionnel mis alors que l'accent est une nouvelle fois mis sur l'#emploi et les aides, dont celles qui ne sont pas versées quand les gens y auraient droit, il m'a semblé que ce qui vient de m'arriver ne manquait pas d'intérêt. #spoiler : ça finit bien mais y a une couille dans le fromage 1/n
Make no mistake: #RFKJr knows exactly what he’s doing - but knows his time is limited for cementing his #politicallegacy. Yes, it’s really that shallow: his ego supersedes #democracy.
since I still don't know of any hideable spoiler markup here on the threadiverse
[You should have had to click to see this text.](#spoiler) will work for this magazine, because of how its CSS is set up. However, there are issues with it working across instances and maybe across platforms (e.g. mobile vs. desktop). There’s more discussion of that here. So giving warnings is still probably good for now. As a quick test, I’m going to try to spoiler something. I’m typing from my mobile phone on kbin.cafe. You should have had to click to see this text.
Shiba is SO obsessed with the MC that several of the routes have "bad ends" that have her marry him anyway.
Oh my god I love this concept so much. I’ve been looking for a game where that happens, because I plan on it happening in the otome I want to make!
Those who like to wear down a distant, professional LI until his control breaks will have a great time here.
Fujita didn’t catch my interest until you dropped this line.
Hideo’s content warning thing sounds incredibly fascinating, not going to lie. I might not be into that in a sexual manner but oh my god is it ever ripe for drama yes please please please
I’m usually not interested in otome in historical Japanese settings, and I heavily prefer fluff to dark things (as a personal preference. I believe stuff with “problematic” content has a right to exist—I’m just usually not too interested in taboo things). However, your descriptions of the LIs has piqued my interest and I might have to give this one a go!
I can't believe there aren't certain segments of the internet up in arms about it. There's quite a bit of "problematic" content especially with regard to age gaps, consent issues, and family relations.
Also, my general perception is that otome seems niche enough that we generally don’t get the purity police chasing after us to make sure our content has Only Good Messages™. And its audience is adult women who are able to separate fun, consequence-free exploration of stuff in fiction from its harmful reality.
Thank you so much for the lengthy review. It’s really helpful for this community.
I played: Butterfly's Poison; Blood Chains
I recently finished playing Butterfly's Poison; Blood Chains and thought I'd leave a review to get some conversation going in here....
