Danny and Ellie had majorly screwed up. Now here they were in the hydro-electric car Danny had designed for applying to Wayne industries/whoever would give a fifteen year old a fat paycheck, sitting in the middle of Gotham, at night, surrounded by glaring bats.

Crap.

Time to bullshit his way out of this.

He looked at Red Robin and sheepishly grinned, "...hi dad."

Ellie, the little gremlin, didn't even hesitate before adding, "We are so grounded. I told you we shouldn't have messed with the broken time machine but nooo."

The bats were either taken about or cackling and Danny to this chance to put the petal to the metal and get out of there

Tim is now obsessed with finding his future kids.

in case of emergency, break glass

Snorpy's cards in the Bugsnax card game. I love his expressions in every one of these. And his ability to catch Bugsnax better by literally killing them!

Oh boy I need patience this weekend. My cousin is visiting and he just explained to me, a biologist who has worked with maize genetics, how to make a kind of supermaize by using electromagnetic fields to manipulate DNA expression. The goal is to trick the maize to express the genes it had millions of years ago, a time when maize as we know it definitely existed and agricultural yield was famously high. And it's only Friday.

i have to say seeing how popular jem is now, knowing he hasn't always been, is SO reassuring and relieving. not because other characters aren't great or have good values, but because it means jem's standout qualities – things like kindness, compassion, gentleness, being thoughtful – are being appreciated and seen as more important and that's SUCH a good thing. especially knowing ya's history of pushing forward the toxic-cocky-mysterious bad boy agenda… we're finally putting qualities like kindness above that, which is a really positive step forward. i know it's more nuanced than this, and tsc's characters are far more nuanced (jem's sole trait isn't being kind, for instance) but he wasn't always appreciated this much and as a longtime jem fan i truly love to see it. i grew up reading books where the mc always went for the mysterious bad boy character – ruder, testy, provocative – and often these characters were more popular because being kind was seen as 'boring' or meant you could only ever be in the friendzone. jem was one of the first characters i read who had this really horrible backstory, but throughout everything was genuinely just kind. it's really wonderful to see so many people appreciating that :)

it’s kinda funny to me that charles seems like this classic brit punk rocker and looking at him makes you think of like. the clash. sex pistols. etc. but really according to his pins and the time period he died in he was probably most frequently listening to fucking. ska

Tubbo pointing a finger at Fit, accusing him of being bugged, kicked me in the head this morning.

Tubbo, fresh off the ice block prison for two weeks, is already In with two of the more reclusive islanders, who the Federation have arguably the least active information about: Fit and Phil.

The former is on regularly with him as part of the “early crew”, keeping an eye on him and acting in an older brother capacity - supporting and playfully bullying teasing him in turn. The latter is a friend and mentor figure who immediately takes him under his wing without hesitation once Tubbo’s out of the ice.

Individuals who often keep their own counsel, save to confide in each other. Not everything, no, but enough that there’s a strong bond of trust. An understanding that some things are on a need-to-know basis.

And they bring Tubbo in to their circle without batting an eyelid.

And in these 2 and a bit weeks:

The existence of Ramón’s create furnaces are brought to the Fed’s attention only after Tubbo learns about them; are changed by him, which may have potentially jeopardised the previous protections against spying within the elevator shaft.

Fit gets little to no direct work from the Federation for cleaning, and Tubbo starts picking away at his closed mouth secrets.

Cucurucho stalks Tubbo - who is in the company of Phil’s eggs - to the Uppies stone nest, and spies on them and their (server lagged) conversation.

Tubbo is present and party to the lavacast placed over the presidential office, one of only three present for it. Cucurucho later asks people at Spawn who did it, which no one knows (or at least willingly gives) the answer to.

The “Cage for a Cage” book wasn’t signed, but Tubbo knows Phil wrote it and even read it before the blocks near it were broken and they descended down.

Tubbo was present after the rescue of Pac and Forever, when Cellbit declares Phil one of the heads of Ordo Theoritas in acknowledgement of his aid and capabilities.

On top of that, Tubbo has been speed running the QSMP experience, and has arguably been a huge thorn in Cucurucho’s side the entire time through his antics. He’s done more nonsense than the Brazilians and only received a few gunshot wounds to show for it (“only” she says lol). In comparison, Cellbit was on the receiving end of far worse punishments for the small crime of an iron farm.

And Cucurucho has commented that Tubbo WILL be brought in line, eventually.

That bit is as suspicious as it is worrying. Unless you consider how Tubbo goes after answers like a dog with a bone: he’s relentless, he will approach and try from different angles. People underestimate him due to his relative youth and hyperactive puppy eagerness - but he’s a very smart lad who’s persistence is as admirable as it is annoying.

Which made me sit up straight when I realised what may be happening: the Federation is using Tubbo to sniff out secrets, to flush out the people they know they need to keep a close eye on by provoking them into flight - or fight, as the case may be. And they’ll let him keep doing that until they no longer have need of him, no doubt ready to set him up with breaking a law so Foolish has an excuse to use his arrest warrant.

All this to say: when you point a finger at someone, there are three pointing back directly at you. Fitmc isn’t the one who’s bugged. Tubbo is.

In Ancient Greece and Rome, depictions of genitalia or sexual acts in art, jewelry, and gestures were used to ward against evil (often specifically by blinding the evil eye) and to invite protection to the wearer or gesturer, as evil was thought to be scandalized and repelled by explicit references to sexuality. Fast-forward to today, where advertisers and social media platforms have waged an extensive war against images of nudity and sexuality in order to claim online spaces as 'safe' for advertising products. In this essay I will

it actually really fucks me off to see people praising the ICJ’s decision when the Palestinians actually on the ground communicating with us are screaming to the rooftops that this isn’t enough. all the lib-brained cretins on this website crowing about ‘progress’ don’t seem to understand that incremental change means less than fucking nothing when you’re on the ground, watching your home and family and your people being bombed, systematically destroyed by israeli troops. it means nothing when you’re afraid for your life.

Palestinians don’t have the luxury of waiting, and we all know full well that Israel WILL NOT abide by this ruling. Unless greater intervention is made, the bombardment will continue; but the ICJ is a bourgeois, imperialist court, made to serve bourgeois, imperialist interests. While they have shown themselves to be more benevolent than I had expected by condemning israel and conceding that they are committing genocide, the fact that they couldn’t even ask for a ceasefire speaks volumes.

Whether it’s due to deliberate inaction or whether they simply lack the capacity to do so, the ‘international community’ is still failing Palestine. It is up to us to continue the pressure, continue the boycotts, continue the action; and to threaten greater disruptions if further progress is not made.
