‘The killing in Gaza will stop when Hamas releases the hostages’ is a pro-war crime argument
"Using starving children in Gaza as a bargaining chip is an entirely acceptable position in US media because these children are not seen, per se, as innocent, much less human."

Watch "Poverty in America is by design w/Matthew Desmond | The Chris Hedges Report" on YouTube
youtube
Poverty in America is by design because that's just how Capitalism evolves. No real mystery here.
But it is a good video on the massive welfare state that exists for rich Capitalist Elites while American workers are forced to live under an ideological regime of Neoliberal Capitalism. The entire US welfare state that helped build the American Middle Class has been inverted to ensure wealth flows unrestricted to the very top.

Advocating internment camps for homeless people is increasingly mainstream. This should frighten us.
The trueness of the old adage “socialism or barbarism” can be most acutely observed at the bottom rung of society—from the 30 million Americans without healthcare to the 2.3 million locked in prisons, to those caught in our school-to-prison pipeline, to the homeless. We can either address these social ills with robust social welfare or abject cruelty. Having foreclosed on the former, having given up on a meaningful, deficit-funded federal plan to house the country’s growing homeless population, all that’s left is barbarism.

Turn Off "The News".2: Rania Khalek goes where the New York Times won't
Korea has been on my mind recently as I was working on a song based on The Blowback Trilogy by Chalmers Johnson, who I have written about before on this blog. As I reread the trilogy looking for bits to use, I decided to try and use a teachable moment Johnson wrote about. He recounted how Bill Clinton once raised ire and eyebrows by playing golf on top of the site of mass graves of some of the…

ryan reynolds is one of the better options for a celebrity on tumblr since he’s more likely to be normal about the bizarre fan content this website is built on but so help me GOD if any other mainstream celebrities come here I don’t know how I’m going to cope

MCNN's Limited Life Week 8 FINALE Recap is live!
youtube
We here at MCNN have had an absolutely amazing time creating this series together, and the overwhelmingly positive response we received from you all has been so so heartwarming. What started as a little passion project turned into something pretty incredible...and we owe that in part to our amazing team of volunteers, as well as to all of you who have been watching at home. This isn't the last you'll see of us, don't worry! But for now, we're going to be taking a little bit of a break before even thinking of diving into another project as insane as this one was lol. Thank you for everything...and we'll see you all the next time we sit down behind the news desk. - The MCNN News Team
[And if you'd like to see the rest of the series, you can do so using our past videos: ]

Official “Whatever Happened to… Robot Jones?” promotional notebook, made by Cartoon Network back in 2002. It is unknown how many of these were made, or who they were given to, but they are definitely SUPER rare.
I’m assuming these were made in regards to the series premiering, as it seems they included Robot Jones on some previous CN merch around this time. It’s possible these were also made as merch to just give to employees of CN, or maybe just employees of WHTRJ? Who knows, just a hunch, you know?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thinking abt the fact that the end of network effect is just a full on horror movie with fucked up alien corpses and the main character limping around covered in its own fluids knowing its been compromised... i need murderbot to be turned into a scifi thriller series with infinite budget to be spent on physical effects so we can get a bedraggled nonbinary actor covered in corn syrup of various colors. Thats what it would have wanted.

#okay so random tag post even though it's been ages#me thinks the current place i work is actually decent a la accepting-queer-ppl so?? miiiiight. consider actually putting my#pronouns in my email signature (which hardly gets used but shh) but like. the actual ones not the society/people assume anyway ones#idk i attended a virtual tech focused event for trans dov (yes early but they didn't want to put the event on sun) and you know when#everyone is just sharing their stories and experiences and it's just like... an overwhelming sense of community? anyway that#and since it was hosted by a professional org the topics were all workplace focused and mayhaps that's something i'm thinking abt for#this year. at least within our pride group I might be ready? wild bc for a long time tumblr has been the only place I feel comfy being 100%#myself. but hearing real people's stories makes me feel like that kind of community would be nice to have elsewhere too#and the whole looking to others also turns around into the leading by example thing bc then we had some breakout groups at the end for#networking which is not my favorite but! i did my intro and said I use she/her for work but will use she/they for this group and#then the next person said he/him at work but for this group he/they so that made me wonder if it was bc of me saying so first?#which if it was is kind of like oh. the way I'm looking for those people for me.. I can also be that for someone else#anyway this sounds dumb typed out but irl/professional me has always separated out queer identity so it's new to me#i'm allowed to be giddy okay. just a little. as a treat (is tumblr still using 'as a treat' i really hope so)#oh shit is this what gender euphoria feels like#alright that's it for now i think#gah emotions and whatnot#missed you all btw i'll start actually being online again soon#personal

Oh? If they wanted to have him be bisexual and not with Eddie, why wouldn't they plan to keep him with the established character who has a relationship to other characters and makes Buck act how they always envisioned him to be with a partner, as stated in this article?
