I could talk about a lot of things, but I promised myself I'm not voidscreaming anymore, so instead: The ending of Hades 2 could have been better, and I firmly believe capitalism is why it wasn't.

Hi, I'm back, I think. Finished a nine month hell-tour of moving my family out of a place that was becoming less safe to a place that is hopefully more stable. Backness somewhat predicated on borders and my need to cross them.

No. There is no argument that could be made for this because whatever corpus you trained the machine on would spit out Black history as understood through whiteness.

Finished another book. I don't know if any of the books we finished in the last few years will ever really be published, much less be read, but I am grateful to have worked on them. I am glad they exist. Too many people desperately want the chance to just write and never get it.

Over on the other site Elon Musk said that DOGE stopped $50M of condoms from being delivered to Gaza which Trump the repeated several times but it turns out that was the number for all contraceptive support from USAID everywhere on Earth, of which none went to Palestinians.

A lot of this stuff is a lie. Most of the rest of it won’t stick. But I understand lot of it won’t quite feel solid for a while, and that’s because it turns out there isn’t anything protecting the stuff we have been taking for granted. We can change that but I know it’s scary

one reason democrats should cut the “we just want to work together” shit is that you lose the opportunity to do things like, for instance, hold a loud press conference on the fact that trumps ICE thugs arrested a veteran www.newarknj.gov/news/mayor-r...

I am incredibly sympathetic to the difficulties of being a journalist today. That having been said, if you call yourself a journalist, and set up a paid subscription, and all you produce are op-eds and vibe checks, you're not a journalist, you're a member of the NYT editorial board in waiting.

My parents grew up in a racially segregated America. I was born 4 years after the Civil Rights Act. Our race/ethnic categories on legal forms changed several times, but okay. Gandhi had peers who disagreed with him. Washington's time had anti-slavery activists. We can judge. Judging's even a job!
