Staggering out into the blinding light of day, Euphoria showrunner Sam Levinson reportedly emerged from a 7-year drug binge Wednesday horrified to learn what he had created. “Wait, I did what?” said a shaky, bleary-eyed Levinson as he looked through his phone in an attempt to piece together everything that had happened since 2019, a wash of shame appearing to set in as he realized he had written, directed, and produced an entire HBO series.
Full Story
A 30 year old Sudanese man in Belfast was charged with attempted murder by stabbing and it has unsurprisingly sparked racist riots across the city.
Migrant homes are being set on fire and people are having to be evacuated into emergency accommodation. With the youngest being a 2 month old baby. It doesn’t stop there either, their cars are being set ablaze and migrant owned businesses are being destroyed.
Schools are sending pupils back home because they’re afraid of more violence breaking out.
It’s just…I don’t even have words for it you know. I do hope the victim is able to heal and get justice for what happened to them.
But it doesn’t warrant this.
Why is it when one white person does something wrong it’s only the individual who gets punished. But if the perpetrator happens to be of the global majority then we’re all punished for it.
It’s not all men but somehow it’s all Black people, all immigrants, all Asians etc.
People are being burned out of their homes and for what? No one whose participating in this violence is doing it cause they care about the victim.
They’re just using a tragedy as fuel for their racist bullshit. It fits their narrative so they’re going to go to town and do what they have always wanted to do.
But now suddenly feel they have a pass for.
If you’re BAME in Belfast I hope things will be okay for you. I hope all the violence dies down and you can rebuild what you’ve lost. God I can’t even say stay indoors anymore because that’s not even safe anymore.
Who does this protect? Who feels safe seeing all of this? I guarantee no one does.
If you have any concern for the migrants, asylum seekers & people of colour being targeted and burnt out of their homes and businesses in Belfast this week, consider donating to the grassroots orgs working to support them

The BBC has turned off comments. I can't imagine why.
More of you should be concerned about the cackling witch rather than the Nintendo switch
so frustrating to be a skeptic with a sense of whimsy because like. I want there to be cryptids. I want there to be magic. I want there to be evidence of something we don't fully understand and can't explain. but then 99% of the "proof" out there for that stuff is like. the most obvious scam you've ever seen in your life.
if you have time today, please pray for the wife of a friend of mine, who is receiving a pelvic nerve block shot for her debilitating nerve pain today. may God bless her husband and the doctors doing the procedure.
Star Wars: Comics vs. Movies.
Yes, but the point is: which one hurts us more?
Luke the Jedi, strong in his conquered suffering, carrying the lifeless body of a man who was once prone to striding as proudly as Luke does now, strong and untouchable, but is now brought low and helpless by a final act of love. A stoic hero holding up a spent sacrificial victim.
OR
Luke the boy, recently tortured within an inch of his life, dragging a weight too heavy for him, but still struggling on with all the painful determination of a lonely child who’ll do anything to hold on to the dying father he has finally truly found again.
Discuss.

Highland Cattle Bulls Relaxing in Summer
In an official filing with the U.S. Department of Labor, Amazon employees alleged Monday that they had been exposed to inhumane working conditions while staffing the human chessboard that executive chairman Jeff Bezos maintains on the grounds of his Florida compound. “We’re not allowed to take breaks of any kind,” one Amazon worker said on the condition of anonymity, claiming that human chess pieces are expected to stand motionless for more than eight hours at a time on the board’s three-by-three-foot squares and cannot move until Bezos or his opponent orders them to.

The biggest bullshit with Adultism is basically that the people will defend it with: "Well, if we did not force X on kids, kids would not do it, because they hate X."
And then you actually look onto the research.
Kids do not generally hate learning or school. Quite the opposite. Children tend to enjoy learning and are naturally curious. It is exactly the fact that they are forced into school and into the rigid structure of it that often punishes curiosity but also is hostile towards the differences inherent in people, that kids hate it.
Kids do not naturally hate medical care. While medical care is scary at times, the fear usually comes from medical care scenarios being defined by adults overriding a child's agency, not explaining things to him, and otherwise being abusive, that makes children afraid of medical procedures. Additionally the way a lot of medical procedures go hand in hand with denying a child's reality ("Look, it is not that bad") tends to be traumatizing to children.
There have been studies done in this. If you explain a child - even a toddler - what you do and why, children will generally be a lot more okay with stuff like needles and simple procedures, and will even agree to necessary surgical interventions.
If you create a learning environment that allows more for self-directed learning, and involves less specific testing, most kids actually will enjoy learning.
The way kids hate school, and are afraid of doctors is the result of those interactions being associated with violence and coercion. The hatred is because of the coercion, rather than the hatred making the coercion necessary.

Saint Olivia (or Olive, for the olive branch, a symbol of peace, fruitfulness, dignity, and beauty) was a beautiful young girl kidnapped by the Muslims, brought to Tunisia, yet allowed to live in a cave as a hermit. When she was found to have cured and converted many Muslims, they tortured and imprisoned her. After converting her executioner she was burned and beheaded. It’s said her soul was seen flying to heaven as the form of a dove. St. Olivia is held in esteem by Christians and Muslims today.

INDE NAVARRETTE "The fake answer that I love to give [for my childhood crush] is Channing Tatum in Step Up. But the real answer is Optimus Prime in Transformers. Specifically, obviously, the first one. There's a monologue that he has at the end of the movie that leads right into [a Linkin Park song]. I think that was my awakening."

Okay, one of these days, we're going to have to talk about Weiss and Hickman's naming conventions for female characters in Dragonlance.
'Destina'? Really??
