#KnightsofGuinevere has been pretty high on my must-watch list ever since the teaser dropped in January. And already it's made quite the first impression. Follow the link below to hear more about it!

YouTube Thumbnail for the video "Knights of Guinevere" First Impressions by BexDeeKay. Featuring a very HD Guinevere overlooking Park Planet's nightscape. She makes such excellent thumbnails every time, all I gave her were two screengrabs and she created fuckin' Van Gogh's Starry Night. Beautiful.

Anti-voter extremists are trying to make passports and other ridiculously hard-to-get documents a requirement to register to vote. 🚨

We have until MONDAY, October 20 to fight back. Take 2 minutes to protect the freedom to vote.

Take Action: Stop Voter Suppression!

The Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is considering a new rule that could block millions of US citizens from registering to vote.

It's very trendy for the woke left to mock the police these days, but this is the kind of thing that you and I might miss.

BBC report that police are focussing on a 'ladder placed against the side of the Louvre' while investigation a recent theft from the art gallery.

Obama is the lynchpin of neoliberal failure:

- no bankers went to jail for the financial crisis
- no punishment for Bush era crimes including torture
- no reigning in open market manipulation and illegal activity of tech disruptors like Uber
- refused to reform the filibuster
- drone wars expanded

obama ramped up the use of drone strikes (10x more than bush!) and deported a record number of immigrants. he helped maintain and expand the systems trump is now using to do his crimes

It doesn't matter how despicable a person is, mocking their innate physical appearance is always wrong.

Not because it's cruel to them, but because it perpetuates the harmful idea that innate physical appearance has anything to do with one's character / beliefs / actions.

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

No more kings. Vimes had difficulty in articulating why this should be so, why the concept resonated in his very bones. After all, a good many of the patricians had been as bad as any king. But they were...sort of...bad on equal terms. What set Vimes's teeth on edge was the idea that kings were a different kind of human being. A higher lifeform. Somehow magical.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

For sure some of the legacy media outlets are downplaying the protests because they’re aligned with Trump, but I think an even bigger factor is how many elite journalists have a patrician disdain for the idea that politics can happen in the streets and not just the CNN green room.

I don’t have kids, I don’t want kids, I don’t particularly enjoy being around kids. But let me be very clear and as unambiguous as possible: I STILL WANT MY TAXES AND SPARE GOING TO FEED KIDS, YES, 100%, YES.

Let me go on the record: as much money I have, whatever I can spare, I will ALWAYS want the extra to go to feed children
