tweet by Meg @_nomadic_soul

Whenever a man says, “women are made to follow and submit to men,” I just want to say, “have you ever met women tho.”

Women are seriously such vibrant, intelligent, strong, expressive, incredible beings. The idea of subjugating them is horrifying.

And on neither side the people driving this senseless war will have to pay with their lives for it.

Was to be expected after they shot a couple Palestinians for allegedly "coming dangerously close" Israel was looking for an excuse, any excuse at all, to continue the slaughter.

Not that Hamas is any better, they will gladly crawl over their people's dead bodies to continue to wage war with Israel.

The composer of the ‘Das Boot’ movie soundtrack has died aged 89 on October 16th.

For us who grew up in the 1980s in West Germany, Das Boot was one of the defining movies of that era. Its haunting soundtrack must have been the first album that I owned.

🕯️ R.I.P. Klaus Doldinger (1936-2025).

Emiru, who was assaulted at her meet and greet at Twitchcon, has responded.

The statement makes clear that she feels Twitch security and staff did nothing before, during, or after, and that only through her team's own action was anything done.

hello everyone, I am okay and thank you for all of the kind messages, sorry I cannot respond to them all 🩷

Yesterday, the man who assaulted me was allowed to cross multiple barriers at twitchcon and even in front of another creators meet and greet to grab me and my face and try to kiss me. Fortunately he wasn't able to, but a lot of people have pointed out it could have been a lot worse!

I'm obviously shaken up by what happened and it's not the first time I've dealt with something like this, but to tell you honestly, I am a lot more hurt and upset by how Twitch handled it during and after the fact.

Like I said, I don't understand how he was allowed to make it to me in the first place. The security in the clip who reacts is my own security (it's true my favorite and usual security guard was banned for holding a stalkers arm to bring him to police, at a past Twitchcon)

However, there were at least 3 or 4 other Twitchcon security staff in the area who did not react and let the guy walk away, as you can see in the clip since they don't even appear in the frame LOL

The woman who is walking me away is my own personal manager, and behind the booth, the only two people who were checking on me and comforting me were her and my friend. None of the Twitchcon staff came to ask what happened or if I was okay.

My friend who was present told me Twitch security were also behind the booth afterwards joking about how they didn't even see what happened and immediately laughing and moving on to talking about something else.

So if no one was checking if I was okay or if I needed anything and they let the guy run away initially, I have no idea what anyone hired to keep the event safe was doing LOL

In Twitch's statement they said that the guy was immediately caught and detained, I'm sorry but that is a blatant lie. He was allowed to walk away from my meet and greet and I didn't hear he was caught until hours after he attacked me, and it felt like this only happened because of my …

Actors are seriously underpaid if they all they can afford these days is the front of a shirt (or clothes prices may have exploded).

One needs to keep in mind that, as Trump announced pre election "We will have it fixed so well", they do not intend to let you freely vote anymore.

So yeah, I guess the US does does have to go French eventually, eventhough the fallout of that was bitter, too, but at least it was an end.

Per CNN, the White House issued a two-word response to No Kings Day: "Who cares?"

At least “Let them eat cake” was catchy!

Also, pretty sure after Ms. Marie said that, the rest of history wasn’t too kind to her…

TIL that Bethany Joy Lenz and Kay Lenz are not related, they just happen both to be extraordinary beautiful women with a striking resemblance sharing the same last name - and damn, you probably couldn't get away with that plot line in a movie. 😄

Depends on the logic behind it, at a glance it seems to build on a stringent increase by five - so 60.

Famously recalling a video of a young woman doing a bit where she paints a wall and then tries to repaint the part where her shadow hits to make the colours match, and some people genuinely acting as if this was anything but a clever joke by her...
