LEADERSHIP IN TECHNOLOGY IS A KEY FACTOR IN ANY MODERN CONFLICT OR WAR!

The lower house of the US Congress – the House of Representatives – approved the American defense budget for the 2023 fiscal year. The amount is unprecedented – 858 billion dollars. This is almost $80 billion more than the US defense budget for the current year and $45 billion more than the Biden administration requested for next year.

The budget also provides 800 million dollars for military aid to Ukraine. We are talking about new weapons and equipment. This amount is $500 million more than the White House requested from Congress. Further – approval by the Senate (the upper house of the American Congress) and the final signature of the US President on the document.

Mace Windu said fuck the rules fuck the law fuck tradition the Chancellor is a Sith Lord and has made himself an emperor and I’m not going to sit by and let it happen.

Mace Windu said if I do nothing I’d be betraying the democracy I thought I was fighting for this whole time, which means more than the crimes I’ll be charged with when this is over.

And yet people try to praise Anakin or Dooku for “leaving a corrupt system”. As if that was why Anakin left. As if Dooku did anything but make it worse. People praise the Mandalorians for only following their own rules. As if we’ve ever seen the Mandalorians truly stand for anything.

As if we don’t already have the most metal anti-authoritarian, badass character for people to praise.

And yet these parts of the fandom hate him. I wonder why 🤔

#p.s it’s because he’s black #and it’s because they don’t actually like Anakin and Dooku for ‘seeing a corrupt system’#they like them bc they like the evil dictator vibes and the fact that Anakin is emotionally unstable but they don’t want to Say that #the don’t like the mandalorians bc they force their own path or whatever #they like them bc they walk around with fifty guns strapped to their body and that’s some sort of American wet dream #mace windu #mace windu appreciation #pro jedi #star wars #in defense of the jedi

Etho and Grian are back at base, hysterically laughing over their achievement. Cleo sits inside, staring, as the two of them talk about getting a wither and a warden to fight, and tries to figure out what she feels about it.

In some ways it's not their fault. Task made them do it and all that. Plus--

Well, it's not like she and Etho are losing hearts anytime soon. They've both done a damn good job keeping themselves from dying. A benefit, Cleo thinks, of deciding to team with Etho this time. Between the two of them, they'll largely only do chaos they can recover from. Maybe this is their game. Maybe this time, Cleo manages to stick with someone until the very end. It looks like it. It looks like...

Grian, of course, is the confounding factor.

She wasn't going to turn him away. He needed allies. They needed someone a bit better at actually doing damage than herself or Etho. It's mutually beneficial. And, besides, he's weirdly lovable, in an inherently kind of dangerous way. A little like loving a bobcat someone had accidentally raised as a pet cat until it got a bit too big and stinky and murdery for them. Like, yeah, he shouldn't be domesticated and he's not, really, in any sense of the word, but it's a bit sad to watch him try to survive on his own now, right?

Hah. Maybe that's what Scar managed to do to him. Would explain a lot, really.

Anyway, he's her bobcat now, which is the problem.

See the thing is: Cleo understands Etho. It's why finally deciding to be partners for once felt... right. They're similar flavors of people. Scared, mostly. Survivors, but not in the 'will stab anyone' way that like, Martyn is. Loyal, although Cleo has no delusions that Etho is as loyal as she. And scared. Has she already said that? Scared. It's important to the kinds of things she and Etho are. Like... mountain lions, maybe. Mountain lions that have been around just enough people to know how dangerous they are. Like that.

God, she's only doing cat metaphors. Bdubs really is turning them all into furries.

Anyway, the point is, Grian isn't scared.

And that... terrifies her.

That's scarier than anything else. Because, see, Cleo wants to survive. But more than that, she wants her partners to survive. And she and Etho, the two of them are doing well. Better than most people. They're green and they have so many hearts.

But Grian? Grian's yellow and not afraid and goading Etho into not being afraid too. It's not their fault, exactly, Cleo thinks. They both had hard tasks. They didn't have a choice, Cleo thinks.

But. But.

She doesn't know what to do, if Etho gets convinced the humans down the mountain aren't scary. She doesn't know what to do if he gets too close. She doesn't know what to do if he gets hurt.

Because she--she doesn't think she can learn to stop being scared, anymore.

But she also doesn't know how many times her heart can stand to lose someone.

Did you know--wild cats are social? They have a reputation for being loners, but mountain lions, they're social. They don't do well being alone. They don't actually hunt solely alone. That's the important bit here. They seem independent, sure, but actually...

Anyway. This is Bdubs's fault. For making her a furry, apparently.

She watches Grian and Etho scheme together and sits back and breathes and tells herself that Etho isn't going to stop being afraid anytime soon. That if push came to shove, he, at least, would retreat back, and that maybe the two of them could convince Grian to retreat too. Safe from hunters. Safe from red.

Maybe safe from hurting each other, too.

(She's not so sure about that part.)

#secret life smp #secret life spoilers #zombiecleo #a bee fic #staring in. cleo and the fact she seems to consider dying before or at the same time as her allies as her happy ending #staring in. cleo and the fact that the thing she and etho have most in common is CAUTION.#and then staring at grian.#hm. well. hopefully that ends better than it seems like it might.#ALSO SHOUTOUT TO ME HAVING THE BRITISH PERSON USE METAPHORS USING EXCLUSIVELY AMERICAN WILDCATS #in my defense they're the ones i'm actually familiar with

The 50th anniversary of AIMs (American Indian Movement's) occupation at Wounded Knee is coming up, so the Lakota People's Law Project is leading another push to free an AIM activist who was wrongly convicted of killing two federal agents in 1975- Leonard Peltier. He was convicted on false evidence and false testimony and sentenced to two life sentences. He is now 78.

LPL has a formatted email up on their website now which you can personalize and send to Biden to ask for clemency. (Please personalize emails like this so it doesn't get filtered as spam. Just move some words around, add some, take some, you don't have to write a whole email.) Please pass this around.

49ERS WIN RAHHHHHHHH

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH BANG BANG NINER GANG 💥💥💥

Me and @alypink watching that game was like

and then the comeback happened....

(based on this real conversation on discord 🤣🤣🤣)

Now onto the Super Bowl vs Chiefs!! I do think it's gonna be a dog fight between Niners and Chiefs. I surely want Niners to win, but Mahomes and Kelce and Andy Reid has more Super Bowl experience, so it's gonna be HARD.

but hey, at least Usher is performing in the halftime show. I LOVE HIM.

oh yeah almost forgot. Me and Aly also made a few discord touchdown stickers! 🤣

#GRAHHHH #i was so done with that first half defense oh my god the RUSH DEFENSE IS ASS.#I literally was about to go to sleep since I also watched the Chiefs vs Ravens at 3 AM my time. And then Niners vs Lions at 6.30 AM.#Aly my beloved convinced me to keep watching the game from halfway around the world what a queen 🙏😭#seeing that performance makes me MAD bro.#BANG BANG NINER GANG #nfc championship 2023 #nfl #american football #san francisco 49ers #niners #49ers #detroit lions #call of duty oc #cod oc #original character

since I have no style, what about floyd in something cheesy from the target pride collection

one of his brothers got it for him (because he's proud and a sibling! it makes perfect sense!) & now he just wears it ironically everywhere.

#ive never set a foot in target (im not american) & so i had NO idea what to expect and w o w i was Not Prepared #so i went with the coward option & dug for the least cheesy thing for him to wear. in my defense though-- 💀#answered #Anonymous #trolls #dreamworks trolls #floyd trolls #trolls band together #trolls floyd #art #trolls fanart #artists on tumblr #my art #also i used a different coloring style than i usually use ksfhdk im using these requests to experiment with my art process a little :3c #so if things look a little funky. thats why LMAO

One thing I oddly appreciate about white women is if they decide they like a person of color, they become almost untouchable. Try talking shit about Serena Williams or Simone Biles in front of a group of white millennial women. You will get GUTTED

#thinking about that video of that white lady screaming SHE’S AN AMERICAN TREASURE when a man disrespected Venus Williams to her face #when white women come to your defense they are so ruthless

oh also also, baghera getting increasingly french at the end of the timer was so fucking funny and i love her so much, like when her and phil fought and phil killed her and her accent thickened until she abandoned words and made french noises CHEF'S KISS reminds me of when she played outlast w cellbit slime and jaiden and got progressively more french as the night wore on, genuinely had a blast hearing her progressively dropping more and more swears in french

also reminds me of something i THINK i remember, think it was her who said during brazil she kept accidentally speaking french to people because of how close she felt to them

#qsmp #baghera jones #debated on making this post bc i wasn't sure if people would think i was making fun? i'm not trying to; to be clear #it's something i've noticed w baghera in particular and really really love #(personally i trend to a southern drawl; i am not from the american south)#i genuinely really like it #idk if your first language is french and you think this is disrespectful i'll delete it just say the word #mine is english so idk how shitty we can be :( i know we can be awful #((tbh i usually kick Myself if i can't understand an accent bc i'm the damn native speaker i should be good at this language))#((like this is My Fault for not parsing i'm the one who knows what these words MEAN; COME ON))#these went on a tangent but in my defense it's technically 4 am here (daylight savings)#also i was watching team red. the entire event. and then until this very moment.#this speaks for itself i think #shut up vic #block game brainrot

#and then… it will be time for me to say goodbye i think #some darkstar politics in here #driven by an essay I read last year titled tinted blue: Air Force culture & American civil-military relations #everyone has a different idea of what modern warfare will look like #1 & 2 are from the same section obviously… i just think it’s interesting #& i wrote elsewhere in may maybe that ice & mav would be on opposite sides of this debate #ice with his big picture managerial perspective… it’s good for warfare… mav with his specialist pilot loyalty POV #obviously their conversation predates the russia-ukraine war which has shown drone warfare in its fullest to date potential #4. is… idk. does it help to tell you it takes place in 2014?#3. *#pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #icemav #top gun #top gun maverick #top gun fanfiction #sorry for the like defense ethics conversations if that’s boring #i just think that stuff is philosophically so interesting

Not a confession but I want to send my love and respect to everyone who jumps to defend Simon when he is bad mouthed in different posts. I recently saw one calling him selfish (still, in October 2023!) and saw the wonderful additions made by a number of fans and it hit me right in the feels seeing so many people who love, respect and understand Simon as much as I do. As a latinamerican woman who tends to love latinamericans characters the most (if they're Latinamericans, they're my babies, them the rules) it makes my heart feel so full seeing fans from all over the world love Simon so much when characters who are even perceived as being from/coming from Latin America tend to be vilified and oftentimes dismissed even when they're main characters.

But it's one of the things I love about Young Royals and its fandom, sure it isn't perfect and there's racism/colorism/xenophobia still but most predominantly it's love and respect for the characters that aren't white. And like, the replies to another confession about the toxic stereotypes we often deal with, were great with people checking themselves and asking others to please let then know if they ever fell into damaging stereotypes and that's wonderful, you know?

So yeah, I love the Simon defense squad as much as Wilhelm loves Simon!:
