When a party is printing signs, then you're not overreacting because it's official policy.

I've seen a lot of one-offs of people holding these signs, but what is truly chilling is a sea of these being held up by delegates.

In case you missed it this was one of the official signs handed out by the RNC for delegates to wave. Not a joke, not a.i.

I’m tired of doomscrolling. It’s time for hopescrolling.

This episode aired in 1994 and no other joke about American politics has held up that consistently for so long.

It's 1000% rational to be scared. That's the thing. A lot of that fear is grounded in the fact that as individuals we have so little control over world historical forces. That's fucking scary. To me, it's OK to vocalize that. I wish people have more relationships in real life with others to do that.

No one in America has done more to normalize the idea of political violence than the man who was the target of it tonight. There is no contradiction in deploring what happened and saying that any Republican who supports Trump has forfeited the right to be heard on the subject.

Popping on to say: A lot of rumors are about to fly about this rally. Trump's team is 100% going to try and take advantage of this situation. So will malicious foreign actors/bots/etc. Please don't auto share. Check your sources, and vet their wording/sourcing carefully.

Trying not to spiral. Unsuccessfully.

Dear Mr. President: There are too few episodes in TV seasons nowadays. Please add more. I am NOT a crackpot. AKA, in defense of "filler" episodes:

A Look At EVERY Capcom PS1 Game | Sean Seansonyoutu.be Capcom is one of gaming's true icons but how iconic was the company's run on the original PlayStation?

I can’t even fathom the thought process that goes into these monthly-ish dumps. Why was this the moment to deploy Urban Champion and DK Jr. Math? (How were they not already on there?)

This has got to be one of the strangest drops they've done for NSO, but it's nice to see Atlantis no Nazo get the spotlight it deserves

This is the ball game folks, the authoritarian green light laid out in advance. Congress will not impeach Trump. And SCOTUS now blesses him with extraordinary latitude to do whatever he wants in power. A second administration will not be constrained by Congress, the courts, the bureaucracy or law.

Trump, who tried to overthrow an election, campaigned persistently for his fellow party members to grant him absolute immunity for his misdeeds in office. And they did. If you can't distinguish between "energy in the executive" and a constitutional crime spree, you've given up on US democracy.

The new Monkey Ball rules. All I’ve wanted from the series for the past 20+ years was a game that shared a similar level design philosophy as the GameCube originals while also building on the fundamentals, and Banana Rumble absolutely accomplishes that. 🍌

The answer itself isn’t exactly satisfying, but some thorough/fun legwork from @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social here. Also, “Cold Cuts” is an under-appreciated episode.

Didn’t have any of that on my bingo card (save for Metroid Prime 4, of all things), but a really strong showing for the Switch in its final-ish (???) year. It’s kind of wild that we’re getting THREE (!!!) Mario RPGs in a 12-month timespan. #NintendoDirect

“It is so shocking how a place so familiar can suddenly feel like somewhere I have never been." A UNICEF staff member shares her reflections from the ground in #Gaza. We need a ceasefire — now.

Devastation in Gaza: 'Like a Place I Have Never Been'www.youtube.com After more than seven months of war, much of the Gaza Strip lies in ruins. As a car travels slowly past bombed-out buildings along empty streets lined with debris, a UNICEF staff member recalls what it was like to see her former home again. "The first time I walked back into Khan Younis, my heart broke," she says. "What used to be a lively, happy place was now ruined. The streets where we once shared so many smiles and stories were silent. Everything laid to waste. It is so shocking, how a place so familiar can suddenly feel like a place I have never been." An estimated 1.7 million people have been displaced by violence, many more than once. Homes, hospitals and infrastructure have been damaged or destroyed. More than 72 percent of all schools in the Gaza Strip will need either full reconstruction or major rehabilitation work to be functional again. "We need a ceasefire now," says the staff member. "We are all waiting for the day when our streets come back to life, filled with joy and the sounds of laughter once more."

Finished UO after 40+ hours, and I can confirm that you can finish the game while barely understanding many of the basic mechanics. Moving units around and making numbers go up on the equipment menu is enough to get by (and honestly still pretty fun, which is why I stuck it out). Recommended (?)

I've spent a dozen-ish hours plowing through Unicorn Overlord without really knowing what I'm doing, and now I find myself buried in unit descriptions and online walkthroughs trying to learn everything the game had been trying to teach me all along. It's been an odd experience, to say the least!
