Do you think all of the hearts you collect for Link beat in sync? Or do they all drum out their own rhythm, driving him ever closer to madness with each new heartbeat you force him to endure?

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street
Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara says that the victim was a 37-year-old white man and US citizen with no criminal record and that he was a legally permitted gun owner.

I’m so excited to hear how it was this man’s fault that he was shot five times while lying on the ground under a pile of federal agents

Most of the propaganda I’ve seen about Minneapolis boils down to:
“If you behave, the system won’t hurt you.”
This system has always decided what “behaving” means *after* it hurts you.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.
Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

I feel like we could win over every suburbanite to socialism if we pointed out that we’d basically be running the country as a Costco.

A Congresswoman calls for everyone like me to be locked up. The world's richest man proposes I be subject to a Nazi medical experiment. I no longer flinch at the sight of the soldiers with assault rifles on my commute. A billboard for AI tells me "keep thinking." One cold brew with oat milk, please

I spent six months applying primarily to jobs in the public sector, at non-profits, coops, etc. I’ve recently had to widen my net to include working for regular, greedy capitalists, and it’s wild how many of the “normal” job listings are now asking you to *highlight* your experience using AI tools.

I'm coming up on nine months of post-layoff unemployment. Savings are starting to run thin, and I'd really like to keep my house, so: Please buy some stickers and/or magnets. Mayhaps a shirt. Perchance a tote bag?
