The fistfight between Shuro and Laios is so fucking cathartic to me. Laios was not picking up on social cues for so long and when that’s revealed he doesn’t do what so many of us have to and shrink away and apologize he gets MAD.

He punches Shuro in the face and says you should have been more fucking clear, and I genuinely find that so empowering.

This is fascinating for two reasons.

1. They haven’t actually apologised for anything. She’s pre-emptively rejecting an apology that they have no intention of giving.

2. Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson are extremely well-liked. A lot of people are more attached to them in their roles as they are to the actual characters in the books.

What does JK Rowling gain by coming out with this?

"Biden is just as bad as the Republicans--"

A Republican House Rep. called for no aid and bombing Gaza like Nagasaki and Hiroshima yesterday.

Like yes, Biden is signing off on way too much military aid to Israel. This is in fact a very bad thing. But he is also (at least in theory), pressuring Israel to increase the amount of aid that it allows across the border.

Meanwhile:

Congressmember Tim Walberg of Michigan made the comment during a recent town hall event. Rep. Tim Walberg: “We shouldn’t be spending a dime on humanitarian aid. It should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Get it over quick.” After facing widespread criticism, Congressmember Tim Walberg, who is a former pastor, issued a statement claiming he was not advocating for the use of nuclear weapons in Gaza.

Like. That's worse. You understand how that's worse, right?

You understand how pressuring the Dems, while having them in power, is more effective than allowing the GOP to get more seats, right?

Please tell me you understand how the GOP is worse.

its funny cuz people have picked dates that the rapture would happen like hundreds of times over the last five hundred years. every. single. time. nothing happens. i'm genuinely curious about the strange psychological phenomenon that gets people to believe this over and over again.

This makes so much sense

when I see something dated 2019 I think “oh that’s not too long ago” and then I remember that 2019 was not only five years ago but those five years have somehow contained several lifetimes

Everyone: Laios is a generic blond human fighter!

Laios: Learns healing magic, can sense the presence of undead when nobody else can, is constantly being contacted by a higher power.

Y'all, Laios isn't a generic fighter. He's a paladin.

kristi noem shot her dog. on purpose.

when i first heard this, i knew shed use the "farm life" excuse, but reading into it, it wasnt cause the dog was so severely injured and that waiting to bring the dog to a vet was going to take so long that it would be more humane to do it herself. NO the fucking crazy disgusting conservative republican shot the the puppy, named Cricket, because he attacked some chickens instead of attacking pheasants which she was trying to train the dog to kill. the poor 14 month old puppy attacked the wrong kind of bird, so kristi noem took the puppy to a gravel pit and shot it in the back of the head. its so fucking insane! its so fucking demented! she should literally be in jail for animal abuse.

and this is all from her memoirs, so she freely admits it in her book. she told the fucking crazy story to say she can do the “difficult, messy and ugly” things when necessary. no bitch! youre fucking crazy! its fucking unhinged! it fucking abuse!

$122,000. And the thing is so shodily designed that the accelerator can become that easily stuck. It isn't even all one piece.

$122,000. That's more than my entire household income, and we're 3 adults with full-time jobs.

If you gave that $122,000 to Feeding America, that would provide over 1 million meals.

That's $122,000 more than Tesla paid in taxes.

innocent children starved to death because Israel is blocking aid:

how are these pictures even real? how can people look at these pictures and not die on the inside? inhumane. the conditions they’re living in, the pain they’re going through is simply inhumane. no words at all. 💔
