France in Ennies Lobby #worldcup

@Baaahphomette Those eyes in the dark omg.

Gwennie in the closet

@iLoveyoouuu_ She was only allowed to be black because she is a Gyaru, if it was an actual black character they would have bleached them 😭. I am kind of kidding with this one. Fantastic design.

Who at Toei sacrificed their job and soul for this

@barbarismcrit @halaljew Yeah, most Italians moved to the suburbs a long time ago, Staten Island, Long Island, Jersey and other states.

@halaljew Wait really? I had no idea

Actual Italians haven’t lived in Little Italy for generations, it’s just an open air museum for tourists. It’s not a real neighborhood. If you want good Italian food without throngs of tourists surrounding you, go to Arthur avenue in the Bronx

@Baaahphomette OMG you found Merlin! I'm glad, hope you can get him down safely soon.

Update!!! Merlin is on my neighbours roof and we can’t reach. We called the cops, animal control, and the fire department who declined help :,) Merlin is stuck on my neighbours roof rn. 😭 idk how he got there or how he can get down but he’s crying.

@neeratanden @RoKhanna Fair. Hope you follow your advise too and sit out after being part of the teams that lost to Trump twice. Doubt you assume any responsibility for anything tho.

Maybe the people who got us into this mess should take a beat on the right path for the future. And I say that with the utmost respect to @rokhanna

@mendozaline5 @Liv_Agar After ignoring a bunch of red flags for a long while. Also look at their reaction to the Balogun decision in the world cup. Also how they behave in foreign policy. a lot of people happy to cheat and let all sorts of awful things fly if they can get away with it. Liv is right.

@Liv_Agar I think it’s unfair to single out one comment when the vast majority of replies to his video are telling him to drop out

@Liv_Agar Never thought I would ever support Belgium again. Merchants of hope and disappointment since 2010. But here I am.

How I feel after seeing this tweet

@Baaahphomette That's some really vile thing to do. What's wrong with people here? Hope you find your cat soon.

:)…

@Baaahphomette Really like those Knee high socks + Boot combo, the belt too. So cool.

Thrifting

@_iamblakeley Michael Blake is not DSA nor DSA endorsed tho.

wtf are you bragging about? NY-15 is STILL the poorest district in the country and Ritchie Tel Aviv Torres has been in office for 5 years and done fuck all to address that.

@FusionX737 @Kama_Kamilia nah, without any starters on the field you are just setting them up for failure and embarrassment. they can rotate players and rest them but swapping the entire starter squad is just throwing the match. The score will bear this out.

@Kama_Kamilia It gives opportunity to the substitutes to have fun and exposure as well. If not when are they going to play ?

If you turn up to a once in 4 years tournament and rest majority of your team, because you don’t feel like you can beat France and top the group. Then pack your shit and just go home. Silly Billy behavior

Whoever made that graffiti of Lera Abova and Nico Robin deserves their flowers. Absolute masterpiece!

@RnaudBertrand @VelliMach The processes/system should be in service of an outcome. If it fails to meet the outcome it is an empty ritual.

@RnaudBertrand @VelliMach The biggest failure of western thought is that somehow they construed that universal suffrage is the one and only condition for democracy. Not sure how a system that is incapable of delivering outcomes for the majority of its people can be considered a democracy.

This is genuinely shocking, and says so much about our approach to China. I decided to check for independent reviews of the English version Xi Jinping's latest book, published a year ago, to see what people had to say about it since I hadn't read it myself. To my surprise, I couldn't find any: not a single thoughtful review about the book out there! Even on Amazon, check it for yourself (amazon.com/XI-JINPING-GOV…): the book has only 3 ratings, that's it. No matter where you stand on China, you’ve got to admit that’s pretty crazy: the sitting president of the world's rising superpower publishes a 700-page book explaining exactly what he's doing and why, and we don’t even care to look. If there ever was a fact that illustrates just how willfully ignorant we are about China, this is it. All the more because we then go spew the usual clichés around how secretive and impenetrable the Chinese system is: the book is on Amazon for $21 for crying out loud! Anyhow, this felt so wrong that I figured I'd fix it. I bought the book, read it attentively and wrote what I hope you'll agree is a thoughtful review of it. The book contains genuinely surprising passages, such as Xi writing that oversight of the Communist Party by "the judiciary, the public, and the media" was not just something the Party must “readily accept,” but something that he framed as historically decisive - an essential component to "escaping the historical cycle of rise and fall" that has doomed every dynasty in China's history. Other passage that I'm sure would surprise many: a common narrative out there is that China blames the West for the century of humiliation and is driven by revenge. Well, Xi explains that's not true at all: the century of humiliation was China's own mistake, originated in the Ming Dynasty's disastrous "policy of national seclusion" that "resulted in China missing out on the opportunities presented by the Industrial Revolution" and "led to China’s decline." All in all, the book is remarkably self-reflective and thoughtful. For instance Xi recognizes that his drive for “full and rigorous internal governance” - including to rid the Party of corruption - risked "instill[ing] fear and apprehension, or intimidate members into inaction.” He emphasizes the need for pragmatism in this regard, codified in a framework called the “Three Distinctions” that separates honest mistakes - made while experimenting, reforming, or operating without precedent - from deliberate violations committed for personal gain. And many other surprises still. I found it a genuinely fascinating read for anyone interested in how the Chinese system works and how Xi thinks - or anyone interested in governance, period, as so much of what he writes is pretty universally applicable. This is the link to my review of the book, an article I titled "The Book the West Refuses to Read": open.substack.com/pub/arnaudbert…

@SonicHero3D I agree with this, if you are going to change it you have to commit. half measure is the worse outcome. Still waiting to see how they land it all. Still loved the Re trilogy.

I have a friend who is a big FF7 fan. He doesn't like Rebirth, because he too thought "they played it too safe." He was all for the drastic story changes Remake made. That if Square were gonna do what they did in Remake, then they should've gone all the way with it in Rebirth.

@_estebaniito Yeah, like it's pretty hard to defend our people given the shit we be doing. But people do be throwing unnecessary nonsense to the conversation sometimes.

I’m very critical of Dominican-ism, but sex tourism is not something Dominicans glorify. Like at all. It’s a very conservative country whose sex tourism was forced on them when millionaire/billionaire investors stole their resources and left them with little to no choice.

@Hezbolsonaro I think it was fine to test the waters. in hindsight yeah. But if you going to go after the big fishes you best don't miss. if he had gone 3/6 instead of 3/3 the narrative could be different.

Why didn't Mamdani endorse Chuck Park?

@bxragingbullyo Guy never puts any effort, the fact that he campaigned meant it was at worse going to be really close.

I knew Espalliat was in real trouble when he got Dominican celebrities to endorse him like David Ortiz, Yailin la Más Viral, and Sergio Vargas lol

@alexamarord Que felicidad, salimos de Adriano aquí.

Atención mi gente
