this shit from the comments is unironically so fucking sad to me. this is where we’re at now? “aren’t books supposed to have morals?” genuinely let’s all just pack it in and go home, we tried the whole “experiencing life and art at a greater complexity level than an eight year old can handle” thing and it didn’t work out, somebody break the news to oscar wilde, we’re done here. “books are meant to teach you something.” christ.

Anon visits webpages in 2022

As others have pointed out before, if you visited a web page 20 years ago and it acted like that, you would rightly assume your computer had gotten a virus.

Charlie Kirk getting sniped right after leading with a deeply antiblack argument is a fear I think people ought consider more 😭 you'd think that woulda been a lesson for everyone in "oh, there can be consequences for my racism?", and yet. Hilarious timing, though.

funniest thing to ever happen was when my boyfriend put on the first episode of columbo (which i'd never seen) but he wouldn't tell me what show it was he would only say "you'll get it when he shows up." but a fun fact about the first episode of columbo is that he doesn't show up for 32 minutes and when he does, he silently walks into the room with a cigar and does a little pose and goes "hi i'm columbo."

Let's do a lil thread where we name drop games w black leads/take inspo from black culture/talk about black culture !

I wanna know more black games !

I'll start:

Relooted is a good one. Shout out Nyamakop for making this game, I think it it's an excellent way to start conversations around Repatriation among folks outside of my circle. Also !!! THE ART, MAN, THE ARTTTTTT

There's also Sword Of Symphony, though it's still in development (it's literally just one guy doing everything)

I like the way that game is literally just. Playing w music notations. It feels like a music conservatory theory exam final boss. Like great, you passed everything. Okay now play Sword Of Symphony. XD

We can't forget South Of Midnight, of course. Absolutely love that game for its world building (once again, the ARTTTTTT), the storytelling, the CHARACTER & COSTUME DESIGN OUGHHHHHHH

Aaaaaand off the top of my head (for now), Hell Clock !!

I'm not well versed in Brazilian history, and the only reason I discovered this game is bc I like roguelikes. And boom, this game throws historical events at you and throws some fantasy in there as well, with a side of black Brazilian hoodoo and EYE, for one, am a fan. If you liked Hades & its sequel you would like this too. Heck, if you liked Sinners and you dabble in games here n there you would like this too.

Did anyone hear about the new document from the whitehouse?

Because this. doesn't look very good

maybe-a-gatto-or-a-catto

the language of this document is genuinely disgusting and so misleading to people who don't understand how fascism works. They are creating the illusion of a danger to America (terrorism) and using fucking 9/11 to pretend they are just countering terrorism. The propaganda in this thing is insane

Ncuti Gatwa SNL UK Monologue

polarity-disturbed

[ID: A series of six GIF panels shows Ncuti Gatwa standing on a stage lit in red and purple neon, wearing a sheer dark brown shirt patterned with sparkling silver web-like lines and high-waisted trousers. Vertical signs behind him read “LIVE” and “MUSIC.” White captions appear across each GIF as he speaks to the audience.

In the first GIF, he smiles with his hands clasped together as the caption reads, “Millions of you watched me as Eric in ‘Sex Education’...”

In the second GIF, he grins and clasped hands while the caption reads, “And maybe 12 of you watched me in ‘Doctor Who’...”

In the third GIF, he shrugs with both hands thrown outward as the caption reads, “Hey, maybe that’s why I kept crying.”

In the fourth GIF, the caption reads, “And even though I have since regenerated into Billie Piper...”

In the fifth GIF, the camera cuts closer to his face as he gives a baffled sideways look. The caption reads, “I don’t understand it either.”

In the final GIF, he leans forward intensely with his hands clasped again as the caption reads, “I still love ‘Doctor Who.’ And I got to meet so many crazy characters.” /End ID]

""Listen to Black women." "Listen to women of color." That has been the refrain of so many on the left since the 2016 elections. We are the group that voted against Trump more than any other. We are the ones who kept Roy Moore out of office. Almost every day I get a message from a white person saying "Tell me what to do and I'll do it."

As if I haven't been writing for years. As if Black women and women of color haven't been saying what is wrong with this country for centuries. And right now, we have women of color- strong, capable women of color- in congress with solid progressive ideals and good ideas, and they are being lambasted as "too radical" and "too divisive".

Right now we have women of color who are writing about what is needed to move this country forward, and they are being dismissed as "race-baiting" and "antiwhite". And chances are, in future elections, we will again be reaching out to them and asking "What do we do now?" "How can we fix this?"

Studies have shown that pretty much anytime a white man talks about equality and justice, he is praised. It is seen as proof of his broad leadership abilities and his magnanimousness. But women of color are never praised. They are seen as bitter, devices, vindictive, and self-serving. This view hurts women of color and politics, in the office, and in academia.

We are often the most harmed by the failures of our systems to address structural inequality; we are often the first sacrifice to political compromise; we are the vote taken for granted in every single election; we are often the only group standing between an electorate and the next white supremacist representative-

and yet when we try to advocate for policies that won't have us scrambling to save everyone's asses in the eleventh hour, we are ignored or attacked."

TIL in 1896 a temporary, one-day city was named in Texas called Crush, where two locomotives were to be smashed head-on for purposes of spectacle. It was, for a few hours, the 2nd largest city in TX with 40k attendees. The collision caused engine boilers to explode, resulting in death and injuries.
