This perfectly demonstrates the banality of evil and how the structures allow people in various positions to just fall in line and process/perform what we all individually would say is unthinkable & impossible

There needs to be REAL pressure from all sides put on Blizzard to ban Asmongold and his "community" for good. WoW YouTubers/streamers, major gaming news sites, Wowhead, etc. And don't bullshit me about some "legal" reason you can't report on a toxic asshole engaging in extremely abusive behavior.

At the store reading the news
A printed note on a supermarket shelf:

The current shortage of sardines is primarily due to environmental and supply chain factors.
Key Reasons for the Shortage
Environmental Changes: Warmer ocean temperatures have disrupted the plankton supply, which is essential for sardine populations. This has made sardines harder to catch.
Export Restrictions: Morocco, the leading exporter of sardines, has halted frozen sardine exports to protect domestic supplies and stabilize prices.
• Increased Demand: There has been a surge in popularity for canned sardines, leading to higher demand that outpaces supply.
Global Supply Chain Issues: Various logistical challenges have compounded the availability of sardines in stores.

At the strong request of the United States Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, planned since the Civil War Era many years ago, at the Receptive Circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage. There will be no facility like this anywhere in the World. Out of the 59 top cities and Capitals, Washington, D.C., IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD THAT DOES NOT HAVE A TRIUMPHAL ARCH, but it will now and, by far, the greatest of them all! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave is certainly a FE game, but the new setting jars a bit cause i never played Heroes and the dungeons which I think appeared in Shadows of Valentia on 3DS is a different, and welcome, mechanic. Overall I’m digging it

A lot of people really have no idea what's coming with the energy crisis in the coming months. A lot of the crisis from the start of the war were postponed but those tricks can no longer work. We're about to see the worst energy crisis in 50 years.
Screenshot of an X post by The Hormuz Letter (@HormuzLetter) reporting breaking news about Saudi oil exports.
The post reads:
"BREAKING: Saudi Arabia has informed its European customers that late-September crude oil cargoes will be cancelled, due to the East-West pipeline being shut after last week's attacks and Yemen's Houthis taking over the entire Red Sea coast, per three sources to Reuters.
Yanbu had five to seven days of crude stocks left for export when the East-West line went down, per industry sources on Saturday, and cancelling late-September cargoes means Riyadh does not expect the line back before they run out. Europe has been taking Saudi crude through Yanbu because Hormuz has been closed since spring. On top of the pipeline, the Houthis appear to have struck the YASREF refinery at that same port this morning."
