OK, no more fucking around with it, I'm writing out that scene I mentioned between Black Spider & Black-Spyder a few days ago.

Again, this is just gonna be a long, script style thread with no pics. So if you're interested in that, just follow the thread below!

Look, I know that "My Immortal" will forever be linked to THAT Harry Potter fanfic but who is it that NO ONE ever used it for a Highlander AMV?!

I mean it writes itself!

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Disturbed’s cover of “Sound of Silence” is just the “male version” of “My Immortal” by Evanescence.

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

Official ICE government account

"To call us 'Nazis' - to compare us to one of the worst groups in history - is disgusting and just outright wrong.
"What the men and women of ICE are doing in Massachusetts and all over this country is making communities safer."

Trump: I want to thank Stephen Miller I would love to have him come up and explain his true feelings. Maybe not his truest feelings. That might be going a little too far

It’s perversely funny that he literally talks about “small, mom-and-pop lenders” as if that’s a thing, and that thing is not called loansharking.

And the presence of convincing AI just sucks all the air out of legitimate strange/unexpected/funny videos. They're entertaining because they HAPPENED. It's like submitting a staged video to America's Funniest Videos, I'm sure it happens all the time but it defeats the purpose and ruins everything.

Core to playing this down is pretending that "Young Republicans" aren't 40 years old with top positions in both the party and government. One's a state senator.

Paxos accidentally mints more than twice the global GDP in PayPal stablecoins

October 15, 2025
https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/?id=paxos-accidental-mint

Paxos accidentally mints more than twice the global GDP in PayPal stablecoins
Paxos, the issuer of PayPal's PYUSD stablecoin, accidentally minted 300 trillion of the supposedly dollar-pegged token. For context, this is approximately 2.5x the global GDP, and around 125x the total number of US dollars actually in circulation.
Paxos later announced that the mint was an "internal technical error", and that they had burned the excess tokens.
While PayPal promises its customers that "Reserves are held 100% in US dollar deposits, US treasuries and cash equivalents – meaning that customer funds are available for 1:1 redemption with Paxos," there clearly isn't much in the way of safeguards to ensure that is always the case. As with most stablecoin issuers, Paxos merely issues self-reported and unreviewed portfolio reports, and monthly third-party attestations (not audits) of reserves.

King Blackbird @kingblackbird.bsky.social · 4h

So far, yes.

King Blackbird @kingblackbird.bsky.social · 4h

I wonder if this is where they got the colors for her DiC appearance or if it was vise versa?

Either way, I wouldn't mind a "Retro" Zarana in these colors.

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.
