this idea of “dirty and unclean” is most clearly rooted in puritanical ideas around sex, whether people realize it or not they believe those parts are “dirty” bc they think pleasure and sexuality are dirty

Maybe Zohran isn’t an “actual socialist”. Maybe he’s a social democrat who’s helping to soften the public’s opinion of socialism so YOU can have more room to convince the masses that YOUR actual socialism & YOUR actual communism is needed more than HIS social democracy.

You guys remember when the devs and “fans” decided the Broodmothers were too upsetting and just removed them entirely? In Dragon Age: Origins, they exist for a reason. Broodmothers are how darkspawn reproduce—women of different races are captured, force-fed tainted flesh, and turned into these horrific, bloated creatures that birth new darkspawn. Humans, elves, dwarves, even Qunari all produce different types—hurlocks, genlocks, shrieks, ogres. And the game doesn’t just tell you—it shows you. That entire Deep Roads sequence? The lead-up to Hespith, the tainted dwarf, reciting that poem as you go deeper: “First day, they come and catch everyone…” It’s slow, it’s unsettling, and it builds into the reveal of what Broodmothers actually are. It’s one of the most effective horror moments in the entire series because it forces you to understand what the taint does to people. Darkspawn aren’t just enemies. They’re the end result of complete physical and psychological violation. That’s what makes them terrifying. That’s what makes the taint feel like an actual existential horror. And now it’s just… darkspawn spawning from some vague pool in the ground? You took one of the most disturbing, intentional pieces of worldbuilding—something that defined how monstrous the darkspawn are—and replaced it with something completely sanitized.

Under Hong Kong’s national security law, 78-year-old Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to 20 years in prison - effectively a life term. After more than 1,800 days in solitary confinement, he now faces the prospect of dying behind bars. World leaders are demanding his release.

This will always be something I recommend all gay men do. It may sound ridiculous at first but the first time I went fully naked at a nude gay beach completely changed the way I view my body and the "pressures" gay men are under to look a certain way. My confidence was instantly fixed the second I realised that, in real life, these pressures are largely meaningless. When you're nude and no one is making a fuss because everyone else is nude too and they're of all shapes and sizes, you stop giving a f*ck about that stretch mark you never got rid of, whether you're bloated or not, if you're sitting at the right angle etc. You see couples, some conventionally attractive, some not at all, all calm and happy and free of judgement and you realise that there's someone for everyone and that no one necessarily agrees with you on what "attractive" looks like and how beautiful that is. Go. Go especially if you're insecure about your body. There's no pressure to take anything off at most of these beaches. But honestly, if you gather the nerve? Do it. You'll never see your body the same way again. And you'll certainly never care about what the internet has to say either. Happy dipping! ✌🏼🏳️‍🌈🏖️☀️🍆🍑

I repeat, you *can* demand preemptive bans on corporate surveillance price manipulation before it gets entrenched.

Not sharing Palantir's manifesto - and that is what it is. A private company calling for a new world order, one that seeks to oppress all of humanity and suggest they should have total power. Palantir should be treated as an enemy of humanity. Sci-fi movie apocalyptic villains.

ngl mad props to this stan account for acknowledging the cameramen that not even the official Coachella page will put up on their IG.

I hate that we discourage earnestness in people. Everyone wants to appear nonchalant and unfazed. You're supposed to fear cringiness at all costs, everything's supposed to be a joke. This lady is honestly just exhibiting basic empathy...

We’ve reached the point in the matrix where the government officials who are guilty of fraud are creating laws that will imprison the people investigating their crimes. Incredible.

This is why Obama went to meet Mamdani lol. he knows this type of message is cooked come 2028

Idk if I’m too woke or not woke enough but ATLA had indigenous influence. It’s obvious with the water tribe and the sun warriors also take a lot of influence from people in Americas. You guys just glorify Asian identity like a costume but forget everything else.

In case you haven't noticed,... .... the Epstein files are being talked about, posted about, and shared about less and less and less. They are slowly fading into the darkness never to be seen or heard of again. And we're ALL letting it happen. WE CANNOT LET THIS DISAPPEAR!!

i distinctly remember this being one of the things that really interested me about rogue one when it first came out, so it's really cool that they took these underutilised concepts and made an entire tv show about how armed resistance is unambigiously good and necessary

What 15 years of "the curtains were just blue" does to a mf's ability to understand symbolism

ITS NOT OVER YET. KEEP FIGHTING!!!!

THE NUMBER ONE REASON WHY AMERICA NEVER LEARNS FROM IT'S HISTORY IS BECAUSE AMERICA NEVER TEACHES IT'S REAL HISTORY.

The author of this article refused to sign an NDA, giving up severance and healthcare benefits to tell this story. Read it. Because he refused, we may be able to stop the Kennedy Center from being sold for parts and turned into a gaudy MAGA fundraising warehouse.
