4 nyc carriage horses died in the span of 6 years and people act like it's an epidemic.... I don't know how to tell yall this but horses die outside of new york city too. Every necropsy as come back as some form of heart complication. There's literally no way to prevent that. Horses don't develop chronic cardiovascular disease like humans do, most of the time it's a completely healthy horse and something just goes wrong. That actually does happen to humans too. Fit, healthy, and even quite young humans can also die from sudden onset cardiac events.
But when it comes to nyc carriage horses it's always someone's fault when a horse dies. I've witnessed many horse deaths in my time. Several this year alone, every one of them some freak accident on a previously healthy horse. No abuse involved. Heck no riding involved in any of the cases. One broke a leg in the field, one broke a leg free lunging, and another was struck by lightning (had access to shelter, he was a retiree given free range on pasture). Fortunately no cardiac events, knock on wood, but I've seen those too, both on horses in work and resting.
Anyways please look into showing support for intro 937 to help improve the welfare of NYC carriage horses. Some highlights include limiting work hours, allowing earlier mornings to beat the heat on hotter days (while maintaining the already in place heat threshold which has kept horses on rest these past few days fyi), and providing access for carriage horses to stabling and paddocks in central park which is already being utilized by the NYPD and privately owned recreational horses.

One like nitpick thing that drives me crazy is when people call Blue Whales the largest whales or the largest living mammals or some shit like that
Because yes that is true. But when you frame it like that you are completely disregarding the absolutely batshit reality that Blue Whales are the largest animals that have ever existed on earth through the entire history of the planet and they are alive right now today
I think people are missing out on how powerful Bell actually is. I know the most common fandom interpretation of Bell is as this pathetic weak, brainless dog, or whatever, but I think that ignores how much strength in both body and mind Bell actually has.
Imagine being so resilient against torture that the literal only way for people to break you is to use literal mind control and an identity replacement method. But. Not even that works.
The real Bell, under all that, in the subconscious, rebels and keeps fighting so they never get the biggest piece of information behind the red door. Even with MkUltra destroying their body, Bell still fights back; regardless of their understanding that that's what they're doing now.
And it's only when Bell gets a literal brain injection with painful chemicals, and almost dies, that they finally see the truth. All the power is placed into Bell's hands right there, this is literally a historical moment that Bell is responsible for.
It was a choice. Adler had no control over what Bell chose to do, and I think that is why they had to die. You can't fully control a fighter, you can only kill them. If they had perfect control over Bell right down to their identity and personality traits, they definitely would've kept Bell around because that's something that is nothing but useful even if Perseus might be gone. A soldier you have full control over and has very useful skills, AND they're very intelligent? Of course, they would keep Bell, despite all this tearing at their body. You think they care?
But. That doesn't seem to be the case. How curious. It's almost like Adler, Park, Sims, and Hudson never had full control over Bell at all, and that could've costed them their lives along with the rest of the world. Funny how that works, huh?
One more thing!
This does not determine if Bell is a good or bad person. While saving the world is an absolutely heroic thing that someone deserves their flowers for, Bell can still end up returning to being a terrorist or an international criminal if they want to. After all, you can't benefit from your criminal acts if there is no market for them because you killed your clientele.
That's why Bell has such a conflicting role in the series. For Bell to be a good person, they have to own whatever evil things they were an accessory to (because trust me, an organization like Perseus with members willing to torture people would certainly have evil things going on behind the scenes) and work against them to repair the damage as best they can.
Putting them through MkUltra was not holding them accountable or making them into a better person. No one was holding Bell accountable for any bad things they may have done, assisted in, or was silent about despite being a witness. Torture is not accountability.
I can't believe I have to say that, but unfortunately, "what Adler did was justified because Bell wasn't cooperating, and they were a terrorist" is an actual serious take I have seen (one that got a lot of support in that comment section mind you). I hate to be political right now but "Terrorists deserve to be tortured" is literally how we end up with torture camps that accomplish nothing but horrific human rights abuses. There is no scientific basis for torture accomplishing anything in the long term.
I want to be really clear when I say this, I do not support terrorism and the harm of innocent people. Intelligence work is absolutely necessary for these organizations to be stopped. In theory, we need organizations like the CIA and the FBI for the safety of the population. But I do not support torture. I will never support torture whether it be from the CIA or some other terrorist organization. I do not support literally kidnapping people and imprisoning them without trial because that's how we ended up with Guantánamo Bay. (Oh and I don't support my country purposefully getting dictators into power so that they can ruin their countries for generations to come, which then leads to lives being lost or ruined.)
Sorry for that diatribe. Just a reminder, Adler is not a good person there is canonical basis for this take, and he is not the hero in this situation. That honor goes to Bell, and in the next game, Case is the hero.
And again, if MkUltra forced Bell to be a good polite person for the CIA permanently, this would also be more evidence for the argument for Bell to not be killed at the end of the game? So, Bell being a good person is up in the air.

I wish I could make white people(and not just white Americans) understand how diverse the pre-columbian Americas were. The history, religion, culture, politics was at least as complex as Europe's. There was the full gamut of religions, from monotheists to animists to ancestral religions. There were city building empires, village farmers, nomadic traders, and so many other ways to live. This is all just based on what we know, the fragments left behind and the stories of survivors of an apocalyptic plague. All this before the most extended campaign of genocide in history was waged in an attempt to wipe out those survivors.
Over 500 years spent trying to cut down a whole trunk of human culture.
Do you understand how much poorer our whole species is because of it? Can you imagine where art, religion, and science would be if we still had these vast bodies of knowledge? The stain of the colonial project will never be fully washed clean. We owe more than just the land to those we stole from. We owe them a whole future, a future that could have been brighter for all of us. If only greed and fear weren't allowed to rule this land.
I really do think it would be amazeballs if Keegan and Hesh became super-duper close after the end of the game. Like they have some massive emotional bond because Keegan starts to understand Hesh in the way that Hesh understood Logan. Yk? Like without speaking, just looking at each other, they have entire conversations. They're so greatly at-ease around each other that it's tangible to other people. Even when Hesh shuts everyone else out Keegan's going to be (metaphorically) smashing a window to get in. Damn it all.

the worst part about having a modern phone is accidentally pressing some cheat-code-ass combination of buttons to bring up the inbuilt AI software, adding to the statistics and making some tech billionaire company freak think I actually want that bullshit
It has been brought to my attention that holding the power button is what brings up Gemini.
That's fucking crazy.
That sucks shit.
Fuck off man.

From the Nashville Zoo’s fb page! Here’s the petition, please please please take a moment to add your name (even if you’re not from Nashville!). If you are from Tennessee, contact your representatives and make it clear that the people do not want this data center. This is an AZA accredited zoo which is home to several species of critically endangered animals, we NEED to protect it. Make your voice heard!
Because people will pay attention to cute animals, here are some of the critically endangered/endangered species housed at the Nashville Zoo!
The Amur Leopard and Clouded Leopard (which recently celebrated its 50th cub born at the zoo!)
The Sumatran Tiger
The Red Ruffed Lemur and Ring-Tailed Lemur
The Cotton-Top Tamarin and White-Cheeked Gibbon
