>Providence police will force two homeless encampments out. Where will they go?

Encampment will be cleared this weekend

On Sunday, Barnett, 40, will be forced out of the place she calls home, along with 60 to 70 other residents, as Providence police push them out of two encampments with a standard 48 hours worth of notice.

I unironically love how blatantly late 80’s early 90’s all the brothers’ styles are in “The Clothes Don’t Make the Turtle” because like…of course those are their styles! The majority of the media they grew up adoring is heavily influenced by that time period, so it makes perfect sense that they all took inspiration from it. It’s honestly super cute to see, they’re such kids I swear.

Maybe the reason why yotsuba Light and pre-kira Light is so vastly different in personality (he's more 'genuine' that is) is because yotsuba Light had L that kept him from feeling that mind-numbing boredom that pre-kira Light experienced prior to getting the death note.

Pre-kira Light literally had nothing to keep him entertained and that he was too powerless to change the broken justice system, so he's more closed-off and serious, literally just living through the motions like a dead man.

On the other hand, yotsuba Light met someone who's not just on par with his intelligence, but also one insufferable enough to annoy him that never made any dull moment possible with L around. Aside from that, yotsuba Light is literally working alongside the world's greatest detective helping him solve the world's hardest case that involved the justice system, so yeah, yotsuba Light really will take L's side of "justice" because detective L is legal whereas Kira's actions are not.

The struggle of needing to search for Tech's name to confirm if a fic is tagged for him because he's actually IN it, or was mentioned and is just dead.

Tech's S3 plot resolution is a crime against me personally.

Massive protest in Buenos Aires against severe budget cuts for free public universities. People sing "And now you see, and now you see, those who don't jump voted for Milei".

Spinner: Sako-san, I have bad news.

Sako: There is no good news or bad news, only news.

Spinner: Dabi got arrested.

Sako: …that is bad news.

Some folks have a comfortability with the idea of cops and police being glorified or represented in fiction and make the mistake of trying to gloss it over by suggesting something else and there is power to that but I need those folks to understand the deeper issue here regarding media and fandom propagranda and to get it together because the police should not be seen as anyone's friend, ACAB

very interesting that the spider taskforce, as the bad guys, are basically spider cops. they're dedicated primarily to upholding a status quo rather than being about helping people, which is directly antithetical to one of the fundamental principles of spiderman as a friendly neighborhood hero. spiderman is first and foremost a community hero and a police force isn't for the good of the community. this also goes hand in hand with how spiderman can't coexist with cops in atsv

Finnish media: a police officer on horseback rode into someone when breaking up a protest so that the person fell down. that was fucked up and probably not allowed

People in the comment section: well it's their own fault for not moving out of the way. the police told the people to move so anything that happened after that was their own fault.

also if i see any of you fucking gringos defending the venezuelan government bc the president said he supported american student protesters i invite you all to look up how he treats student protesters in his own country

the big thing about the whole "we have to make sure we kick out anyone who Doesn't Belong" deal is that... It always ends up hurting the people who "do belong".

As a ND cripple, I hate to see this happen to the cripplepunk community.

Relatedly: It's possible to claim to hold certain progressive values as long as it isn't inconvenient for you personally, which is the case with many younger people. To an extent this is just an occupational hazard of being young, but it's the driving force behind why “kill 100 oil executives now!” rhetoric is so popular but you won't see as many folks getting rid of their cars or reducing meat consumption, or why “guillotine billionaires!” is a commonly held opinion but few of those who espouse such ideas will actually stop shopping at Amazon or Shein. This is also why people who ostensibly claim to be feminists were so quick to dogpile Amber Heard, unsurprisingly. It's easy to claim you stand for something in theory as long as you never have to put your convictions to the test.

Watchin a documentary about that Lindt Cafe Siege and just learned that the shooter was on two separate counts of bail, one over dozens of rapes, and the other for organising the murder of his ex-wife (for which his girlfriend at the time was sentenced to 44 years in prison for her part) and damn having a dick will work some wonders in Australia huh?

a vote for biden is as much a vote for fascism and genocide as a vote for trump is. liberals only pretend to be better. any serious analysis of the last century, of the last few decades, of the last few months even, instantly breaks that illusion.

from my perspective the fact that they already found yukiko is so funny bc its LITERALLY been a day im on easy for the story and managed to day one yukiko's castle (which never happened the entire time i first played p4 i was spending at least a week on each dungeon sometimes in real life at least 3-4 days working on a boss or dungeon and i was on normal this game is HARD) and theres no blocks to progressing the story until you get to a certain date like in p5 you absolutely CAN and often will day one palaces in p5 but no matter when you complete it you will have to wait for the dead line to move on to the next arc p4 didnt do that i was able to do all stages aka bosses of yukiko's dungeon in a single trip i only went to the velvet room once after maxing all 8 of the personas i have to complete the compendium (and was able to get to level 20 in 8 floors and unluck 8 persona slots when you start at level 1 with 6 slots) like this is so fast yukiko went missing i think late yesterday so its been exactly 24 hours shes been found so the freak out to immediate relief is kinda silly to me i love it lmao
