I'm sick of "protests" in front of kindergarten. What's screaming "fuck the Jews" in front of a bunch of four year olds going to accomplish for Palestine? All it does is traumatize them

FYI, South Korea has declared martial law for the first time in that country’s history. From the article linked below, it’s all very Cold War coded, and I suspect this has to do with China and North Korea forming strategic alliances, but that’s just a somewhat-informed guess.

Someone over on Discord asked, "I'm morbidly curious: How BAD is A Song of Ice and Fire in terms of the authenticity George claims it to be?"

My reply was straightforward:

The long and the short of it is that ASOIAF is basically a vehicle for GRRM to present both his rape fetish and his Hobbesian view on human nature and has less historical accuracy than Frozen or most other Disney movies.

That's actually a good way to think of it, now that I've said it--he's Family Unfriendly, they're Family Friendly, but both have the same relationship with History: just Pure Aesthetic with no consideration for how the worldbuilding would work.

How Wicked's Production Planted 9 Million REAL Tulips for Munchkinland

I hate this motherfucker the most. People in my family who should know better fell under the sway of this lying, psychotic monster. If you’ve ever loved anyone with any kind of disability, you are betraying them by looking up to this man and giving weight to anything he says.

So after talking about No One Mourns the Wicked so much last night, I legit can’t wait to see what the movie does with Thank Goodness

Like Glinda having to stand in front of all of Oz and explain how happy she is while also being like “let’s talk about me actually” every time Elphaba gets brought up, because she clearly doesn’t want to have to listen to people talk about Elphaba like that but also it’s increasingly clear that the person she is to all of Oz only exists in the context of being the good to Elphaba’s bad and its impossible for her to escape that and actually she’s miserable and knows it and also these lines are legit one of my favorite parts of the show

Like I wanna see Ari’s Glinda in full propaganda mode and hating it but also I’m so curious about how much they’re gonna lean into the Wizard/Morrible grooming Glinda into being this figurehead versus how much Glinda is complicit in becoming one and what she actually thought that meant

Some missionaries supported by my church are stuck in Iran right now. Please pray for them, and the underground church they are there to minister to.

If you’re a member of the LP community, or the disability community in general, you’ve seen this story before: the media frenzy, followed by backpedaling, followed by the eventual erasure of disability altogether.

Dinklage is one of the most prominent faces for disability representation and for the LP community in particular, but some LPs are less than excited to have him take up the charge.

“It boggles my mind that a network, instead of listening to an entire community, [is] listening to one person,” she said. “That’s just how much pull this one person has created in this society because of where he is on the level of popularity.”-Terra Jolé

IDK I prolly won’t go see this cos the dwarfs look meh to me. It’s a shame Hollywood doesn’t cast little people anymore. Between Wicked and Snow White they could’ve hired 100s! Normal size Munchkins?! I understand the need to CG some creatures, but dwarfs…come on!!! I guess Peter Dinklage fucked it up for everybody(except himself of course).

To the same shame pile as KZ simulator, rat hunt, all those sus indie games for 14.88, and all those schools shooting mods

This will probably be a hit with hamasniks and kids of the more well off hamas members

Is it possible to get the game banned from Steam?

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

So we are at Stage 2.
