Black woman here, and "Gaines" chose to embrace and spread white supremacy, hatred of women, particularly Black women, and Black people in general. He thinks he's better than Black Americans descended from slavery. He can reap the benefits of the fields he sewed.
Since the summer of 2023, Gaines has increasingly embraced antisemitism and, though he is a Black man, has positioned himself as a white nationalist ally. Gaines, his co-host and their guests regularly engage in Holocaust denial and distortion, defend or praise Hitler and promote antisemitic conspiracy theories and tropes about Jewish power and greed. In one video, white nationalist streamer Nick Fuentes and several other guests can be seen performing the Nazi salute at the Fresh & Fit set. Gaines has joked about teaching the salute to his dog. In a recent, now-deleted podcast episode, a guest blames Jewish people for the Holocaust and another threatened, “We got to kill the m‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑” as Gaines laughed and nodded along. He argued women should not have the right to vote, claiming that they have no stake in politics because they don’t have to sign up for the Selective Service System. Despite this argument, he also told the audience that women should not serve in the military. He laughed at the epidemic of rape on college campuses — among undergraduate students, more than one-quarter of women and nearly 7% of men “experience rape or sexual assault through physical force, violence, or incapacitation,” according to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network. He dismissed the idea of sexual violence being a common experience for women. Instead, he insisted those women fantasize about rape. He also made several derogatory comments to Black women in the audience, including making fun of one woman whom he dismissed as “Shaniqua.” The name “Shaniqua” is frequently used by Gaines and others as a racist caricature of Black women who have low incomes. In a heated exchange at the end of the event at the University of South Carolina, Gaines said, “We need to address Black culture” in a conversation about crime. One attendee, who previously expressed his admiration for white nationalist Fuentes, pushed back. He questioned whether crime was the result of Black culture as Gaines suggested, or “just a race thing.” Despite being a person of color himself, Gaines agreed and joked, “Around Blacks, never relax.” The attendee became increasingly agitated while discussing the supposed threat that people of color pose to white people. He shouted, “Living around white people is not a human right. … This is our country that we built.” Gaines agreed with this attendee, who spouted this racist screed at a university-sanctioned event in front of students, and may have been a student himself. Gaines criticized those in the audience who were upset by these statements and insisted that Black people have lower IQs.

After the first year the fact that they were making little progress but at great cost was a sure sign they were losing.

Look at me! I'm a Charizard now! Avatar by Eligecos!

Gosh, Charizard is one of my favourite-ever Pokémon, and it makes me so happy that I finally get to BE them! :red_balloon_heart: :cera_happy: :red_balloon_heart:

Even if they can pass policies & programs T won’t sign them, making them just for show. So the media will focus on the investigations and the public will also think Ds aren’t doing what people want.

They’re kind of screwed either way.

Does that mean an R wins in 2028? It’s a danger.

I worry.

Hearing from @polphilpod.bsky.social that my 'Plato's tyrant' episode has made the top 5 of his Political Philosophy podcast this year, remembered to post a picture of the 'Plato's tyrant' protest sign which the artist Peter Liversidge made for me at his sign-making studio installation in October.
Tucked in the corner of a room, two cardboard protest placards, one of which says 'Plato's tyrant', in black capital letters, the other, partially seen, says 'Bureaucracy accumulates'. To the right in front of them is a shelf of wooden model boats, made by the same artist, Peter Liversidge.

Photo of Lety wearing a Marty Supreme-themed fit while sitting on a plush reclining seat under dim lighting in an indoor movie theater. From top to bottom, her visible attire consists of: an open puffy orange windbreaker, a white tube top that reads “DREAM BIG” in orange text, and orange pants. Lety is seated in a dimly lit movie theater, leaning back in a dark-brown artificial-leather recliner. Her right hand's in the air to take this top-down selfie, and she's smiling at the camera while making a peace sign with her left hand. Lety's crudely scribbled “DREAM BIG” across the front of her top because there's no way she was spending hundreds of dollars on official Timothée Chalamet merch.

2 of my 1st signs this year. It got to be almost fun making a new sign for each protest. Despite no gains, won't stop.

Generally you need to work within your budget and focus on addressing the intersections with the highest accident rates. Do you now think there are traffic engineers making these decisions? You really think traffic circles are some sign of government corruption?

#blueskyartshow #openhouse a hill I'll gladly defend is that memes are art too! Some more than others sure, but all still following in the footsteps of Duchamp's toilet & Warhol's soup cans. Plus bluesky's meme game is kinda 💩 and needs all the help it can get. #modernart
A sendup of the Fast & Furious spinoff 'Hobbes & Shaw', with the cartoon stuffed tiger Hobbes standing in for The Rock's muscled meathead. A movie poster for 'Dune' remade for 'Dude Where's My Car', with Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott dropped over portraits from the sci-fi film's cast. Underneath a lone figure is crossing the desert, carrying a steering wheel. An image of #MarkHamill holding up a "life-size" Grogu from 'The Mandalorian', captioned with an old Weird Al lyric- "the long-term contract I had to sign says I'll be making these movies til the end of time with my Yoda." Scene from a British funeral, with a casket held aloft by four men with seemingly distinctive personalities conveyed by their expressions. One resolute, one peaceful, one introspective, and one sensitive. The caption jokingly ties each to one of the Beatles.

OP is making a fair point about Waymo’s not knowing how to handle traffic light outages, but JFC look at all the humans in the rightmost left turn lane (there are indeed two) WHO SHOULD BE TREATING THIS AS A STOP SIGN! WTF is wrong with SF drivers?

This failed Waymo robot is in the ONLY left turn lane on Market St eastbound in downtown, forcing everyone to go around it on the right to make the left:

Market at Franklin, San Francisco

Good thing there are human drivers who can handle a power outage.

dicephalic stretchy woman gets a sudden burst of common sense only for said burst to be abruptly shut down thanks to her anatomy betraying her

#art #oc #ocart #stretchy #stretchyartday #digitalart #krita #kritaart
Left: A woman with two heads, four arms and elastic/malleable powers, wearing a yellow-and-purple suit with the colors split down the middle, white gloves and collar, and masks covering the eyes for each head (dark-yellow for her right head, dark-purple for her left). She thinks to herself: "Hang on, I'm a malleable person... I can just split myself up, can't I?" Top-right: The woman's two halves attempt to pull away from each other. Their shared torso stretches horizontally, but the two remain stuck to each other. Bottom-right: The two halves have managed to partially split up, leaving the woman with two torsos connected to a single pair of legs and joined by their right (yellow) and left (purple) arms. The two are still trying to fully separate, pulling at their joined arm and making an audible "CREEEEEEAK" sound. (made in December 2025) The stretchy woman with her yellow and purple halves further separated, save for a long, green serpent-like tail joining the two at both ends "pushmi-pullyu" style. The purple half (left) is giving a piece sign with her left hand, outstretched, while her right is on her hip; she's giving a smug smile with beads of sweat on the side of her head. The yellow half (right) is staring at her tail with a worried expression, looking like she's about to poke it with her left hand. There's an arrow below her pointing at the middle of the tail, with the caption "The best she could do". (made in December 2025)

and the elements that make us notice said stuff is filled with a ton of humanity, that deserves recognition

It's a bad sign when 1 element of a game can disregard the whole thing. That's not good for the art making process especially when we're talking about an artform which spans ->

Ahiru out of the house? more likely than you think!

thanks @kushasoul.bsky.social for getting me out of the house for a bit, I think I needed some buddy time more than I realized.

Sign Making for “We’re Still Standing “ March in January

Précis of Keith B. Richburg’s op-ed follows ⤵
Précis of Keith B. Richburg’s op-ed The column's Thesis Richburg’s core claim is that wars don’t end because leaders sign papers onstage; they end when there’s sustained diplomacy, enforcement, and long-run investment in security and governance. His Evidence Set He uses three case studies from December 2025: Rwanda-DRC: a Washington ❝peace❞ moment followed by intensified fighting in eastern Congo. Thailand-Cambodia: a claimed ceasefire followed by renewed cross-border warfare and disputed claims of a new truce. Gaza: a multi-part plan that paused major hostilities but is stuck on the hard parts (security control, disarmament, governance, and who provides forces). How He Generalizes from Those Cases He argues these failures are not surprising because the conflicts have deep historical roots and because quick ❝deals❞ don’t change incentives for armed groups. Where He Lands Trump may like the optics of peace-making, but durable peace requires time, patience, and follow-through — a warning shot aimed at any future Russia-Ukraine negotiation.

Players making decisions Chapter 8 takeaway

1) You don't need to ask for or sign NDA when discussing game idea
2) What if idea shared is something they already working on?
3) Ideas are cheap (yes, even yours best idea)
4) You pay money for end-product, not idea
