As someone who likes the Critical Role folks and thinks they are making some of the best animated shows out there right now but wasn’t intimately familiar with the intricacies of the Mighty Nein back stories all I have to say about S1, Ep5 ‘Little Spark’ is …

Ever notice how cis men only tell one of three stories?

*my mother didn’t love me the right amount
*my father didn’t hug me
*a romantic partner didn’t accept my abuse as love

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going.

It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

lol you'll never convince me a huge part of the reluctance isn't that there's no legal way to make UBI white-only.

Lotta white people in this country are happy to lose as long as nobody Black or brown wins.
I wish more people didn't get mad because "why can't I have $1000 a month for nothing!"
And instead went "why not universal basic income?"

Actually, the likelihood is 100%. In US jurisprudence, accused people are innocent until proven guilty. Hegseth's victims were not proven guilty; they were not even tried. Therefore they were ALL, to the last man, legally innocent. Hegseth ordered the murders of several dozen innocent men.
Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

An article that dares to ask the question: Is Louis C.K.'s new special funny enough and is his new novel good enough to look past his sex crimes? Tyler Foggatt's answer seems to be no, but only because the quality wasn't good enough - not that she shouldn't be promoting sex criminals. Because 2025.
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing.

This is who MAGA is now.

From Threads:

‘So when people go "men are taller and stronger and have narrower hips and whatever else and that's why it's not fair for someone born male to compete in women's sports!!!!!" it irritates me because it's inaccurate. —>

Thor has a thing on his back that sometimes needs cream on it. To stop him rubbing it off I use a bandaid.

I don't actually believe that these people believe vaccines are fiction. They know they're deliberately causing harm by cutting off health care from people and letting illness run rampant.

My only conclusion can be that this is a deliberate culling since it's the poorest that will suffer the most.

I didn’t want to quote skeet this person because I don’t enjoy harshing someone’s buzz re:comics but these kinds of characters are so fucking tedious in concept (Deadpool sucks). And then we have to make them huge boobed manic pixies.

It’s depressing no one in this industry can grow the fuck up.

Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature.
2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!
That "feature" is now gone.
