More and more you’re going to see US media outlets paint the strikes as something absolutely horrible to everyone else

But what you have to remember is that outlets such as ABC are directly owned by Disney. They aren’t reporting news. They’re protecting their masters’ interests

This is the direct result of megacorps buying news outlets and providing you news with slants and bends that are 100% unreliable and based entirely on protecting billionaires and wealthy businessmen who’s business it is to prey on the masses for exploitation. 1+1 equals 2.

Hey, White friends. Don’t fucking do this. Do not do this shit in my mentions.

If a black, gay, indigenous, any marginalized whomever says that they are appreciating a decent break dont be so gigawoke that you’re literally sniping at them for finding peace where they can get it.

Don’t get so woke that you’re literally admonishing children for being children. This is like white liberalism on super steroids. Don’t assume that just because we’re appreciating a breather that we don’t comprehend what’s going on around us

I remember a long time ago someone was talking about the AIDS crisis and the general tone of it was "We survived" but that was undercut by "...but a lot of us didn't."

It's admittedly depressing and somewhat pessimistic but I can't help but look at the last 4 years in that way. Thats not meant to undercut the severity of the AIDS crisis btw. Please don't think I'm minimalizing that.

That was surrounded by its own levels/structures of ugly political awfulness too (see the war on drugs" for example). Still, I can't help but see the similarities of time.

QT with a photo of you that somebody else has taken. Selfies are not allowed. It can be old or new but ideally one that really captures you.

Old pictures but I couldn’t decide between the two. I miss this. Both are definitely “me”

And this is why I'll always appreciate modern Mickey shorts over large swaths of classic ones -- this being one of the few exceptions.

Technically they were all animated beautifully, but shorts where Mickey was actually a (funny) character & not a prop were few are far between.

So many old Mickey cartoons are just Pluto shorts w/ Mickey in them b/c they were afraid to touch him.

"The Pointer" is an exception of course, but its much harder to find those moments than anything you'd see in a Mouseworks/House of Mouse short or ESPECIALLY the Rudish shorts

Something that I've always wanted are the Game Gear/Master System Sonic's remade to have Genesis Sonic level graphics/tweaks.

Considering Mania's popularity & how this simpler this would be over a 3D release (I'm assuming. I know nothing of game dev) this feels like a no brainer

Like -- I imagine these as budget releases to pass the time until the next BIG 3D Sonic game is ready, or even better get Sonic Team re-acclimated to the physics of 2D Sonic with templates already made between these and Mania.

My 1st reaction was a very loud laugh but my 2nd reaction after thinking hard for a few secs was how awful it must be to live in a house like that with a parent that cares more about their optics than they do the welfare of their daughter.

My 3rd reaction was hoping she’s safe.

I mean it’s easy to laugh at how much Claudia Conway is making her mom look like a fool and a liar on the regular but at the end of the day she’s still a 15 year old girl.

At 15 I was a wreck, barely able to categorize my heaviest thoughts in a healthy and mature manner.

I was young. I needed the money lmao

So here are some small observations after one night of playing:

SM64 is very VERY dated. I really wish we'd gotten 64DS which is the far better version. It’s not unplayable dated by any means at all but, playing it on Switch reminded me of an old prob I used to have w/ early 3D~

https://twitter.com/jongraywb/status/1312924387796975618

Namely that the early, janky Mario movements & shaky jarring camera of Mario 64 would regularly make me motion sick. Like, to the point that I needed to get up and get some ginger ale after about 15 power stars.

That is a personal prob & not indicative of gameplay though.

Wanna know what sucks?

Boseman was so amazing at what he did. Looking back, his talent was baffling. So many Black Americans left that movie wishing Wakanda was an actual real place one could visit--the science, the costumes, the togetherness, all guided by a king just like that His acting made so many black ppl believe, even briefly, in something better -- even knowing that something doesn't exist. He was a superhero & even deathly sick he embraced his role all the way through and gave us what we needed to see in spite of what was coalescing around us.

Because of quarantine I take walks in my neighborhood which is predominantly black. I stay home w/ my mom & aunt since moving back & mom’s said numerous times that she’s not comfortable about it anymore b/c of the adjacent white area, that I’m in Alabama, & b/c lynchings are back

Now I live on the outskirts of Birmingham — literally about 1 traffic light up and you’re in deeper country areas.

Mom and my Aunt said that when they were kids it wasn’t unusual for the Klan to drive through our area and try to intimidate the black folks in our neighborhood.
