Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept 11 attacks:

15 were from Saudi Arabia (a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.

None of the hijackers were from Iraq.

None of the Sept 11 hijackers were Iraqi.

None of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq.

#9/11 #serious post #not a shitpost #this should be one of the first things kids learn when they learn about the 9/11 attacks #politics #this is just...it's such an essential and brazen fact and i rarely see basic outrage over it #i want outrage. i want fury. i want disgust over the way fundamental facts are disguised and discarded and downplayed #because there are things we should KNOW. basic fact we should ALL KNOW. and they are tucked away in the footnotes. #and no this is NOT to put the blame on other middle eastern countries #we know this was carried out by a specific terrorist organization not a national government #but King George the Second decided (and was encouraged by his cabinet!) to invade a nation! #a nation that was not at all related or responsible!!! #a dictatorship to be sure--but a dictatorship that King George the First had been happy to support #so what changed? why did we go in guns blazing to DEMOLISH a country *we had NO PLANS OF REPAIRING*??? #well. because they wanted a villain didn't they. a nice clean war. clarity of purpose. us the heroes against them the villains #and when you're in that mindframe--truth is irrelevant. you can pick your villain (your victim) by rolling a roulette wheel #truth is irrelevant #worse: to the people in charge #truth is a HINDRANCE #'Alternative facts' existed long before it became a catchphrase #facts don't matter. truth doesn't matter. the impulses of a handful of volatile & rich & power-high people--that's History. congratulations

Rocking back and forth thinking about Wyll's response to Ascended vs. Spawn Astarion returning to Baldur's Gate......

Astarion: (Ascended) I know these cobbles well. The gate to the Upper City's just ahead. I found plenty of victims on the other side of that gate. Who knew they'd all come in so useful?

Wyll: (pissed) Gods, how many did you kill? Dozens? Hundreds??!

Alternatively,

Astarion: (Spawn) All that time and what's my legacy in Baldur's Gate..? Missing friends and broken families.

Wyll: (gently) You can't undo the past, Astarion. But you can craft a better future, if you so choose.

#if you try to be better he is 100000% in your corner. your greatest hype man #but his principles won't let him go down too dark a path or associate with anyone who does #he believes in you. he knows you can be better #and he'll be with you all the way if you decide you want to do better #he doesn't hold anyone's past against them UNLESS they are determined not to change. to keep victimizing other people #i'm obsessed with him your honor #wyll ravengard #astarion ancunin #wyllstarion #bloodpact #baldur's gate 3

It's interesting that when Keeley is telling Ted about the implications of that photo of him and her leaking to The Sun, she says "Jamie is going to go mental" but it's not followed up with "he's going to think i cheated on him" or "he's going to break up with me" or "it's going to ruin our relationship" it's instead followed up by, "there's going to be photographers all over us!" And later when she's talking to Rebecca it's, "My god, Jamie would've been so pissed off with reporters poking around in our love life." There's something to be said for like, she never once expresses doubt that Jamie won't hear her out on the truth or believe what she tells him. The major focus of her concern is just keeping their business out of the press. Their relationship in season one is far from perfect but there's a lot of implicit trust between them.

#i also think this also has implications on the Bex of it all. #like...i don't think any of keeley's anger stems from thinking Jamie cheated on her. #instead it comes from Jamie breaking their mutual trust #he made a stupid decision without consulting her and was only worried about how it would affect HIS image #meanwhile him bringing bex could have easily made it to the press and painted the narrative that he's a cheater and keeley's the victim #she has the courtesy to respect and protect jamie's image in their publicity but he doesn't show the same courtesy for him #obvs rebecca is clearly warning keeley under the assumption that Jamie is cheating on her #but not only do i think we as the audience are supposed to get that isn't what's actually happening #i also think KEELEY gets right away that that isn't what's actually happening #it doesn't make her any less angry but it does change the shape of her anger #anyway #jamiekeeley #ted lasso #keeley jones #jamie tartt

The way that Olrox’s heritage and romance completely recontextualized his character. We first meet him when he kills Julia, and that’s bad no matter how you look at it, right? Wrong. Julia is a white European who came to the Americas and killed Olrox’s Mohican lover. Olrox retaliated, which is bad, yes, but how else was he going to get justice? No government would ever try a vampire hunter for the murder of a vampire, and no government would prosecute a white woman for harming a Native American. People like her were committing a state-sanctioned genocide. Even the suggestion of legal justice is ridiculous on its face. Julia’s death was wrong in the sense that violence doesn’t solve violence, in the sense that revenge begets revenge, but that’s it IMO. Olrox didn’t go any further—he didn’t torture her, he didn’t kill her son, AFAIK he didn’t kill anyone else that day. The only time we see him kill another human is in France when he kills a European noblewoman, the exact kind of person who profited most from the violence inflicted on him and his people. What I’m saying is that I’m dead serious when I say Olrox did nothing wrong

#Castlevania: Nocturne #Olrox #castlevania spoilers #nocturne spoilers #from Olrox’s perspective I’m sure that killing Julia was very similar to Annette killing the slavemaster vampire #like obviously there’s a difference in magnitude of violence (i.e. AFAIK Julia didn’t literally enslave anyone) #but that doesn’t change the fact that a victim of colonization getting revenge on their oppressor is totally understandable actually

but for real i love adventure time bc in the face of shitty family members that are also space war criminals, most kids show protags would be all "guys lets not fight... we're family! we can be friends! peace and love!" but finn is like "im going to personally rip off my dads arm because i hate him"

#not that its healthy and im glad he didnt actually do it (for the sake of his own mental state) #the choice to not rip his dads arm off is abt his own mental health not any sort of greater good or whatever #but im also glad the shitty parent conflict wasnt resolved by everything just being pushed under the rug #it sort of just ended with. okay fine. i cant change you so just be out of my life forever now #tho it is also tragic bc martin wasnt always a bad guy... hes sort of a victim of circumstance too #but that doesnt really matter as far as finn's journey is concerned #adventure time

For some reason, when trying to think of a descriptive name for this screencap, the words that came to mind were "still so small."

There's just something about his body-language and how he moves in this moment, after he's realized the attack won't hit him but before he fully relaxes.

It's almost like he forgot Agent was there.

#so hey I know Victim was emulating noogai throughout this entire episode but #are we gonna talk about how in terms of how he's set everything up #he's still acting as an animation?? #he's still in an art program he's still fighting with art tools #what's changed is that this time the ''animator'' is on his side #ava the box #ava6 #animator vs animation

i think it would be funny if people occasionally arose from the dead. like if that was a real-life one-in-a-million but well-documented Thing That Sometimes Happens, and the entire legal system around death (laws on inheritance & marriage & murder etc) had to include caveats for the unlikely-but-scientifically-possible event that the dead person in question might spontaneously self-resurrect, even years or decades after death. it would raise so many inconvenient and absurd possibilities

#imagine the legal system in that timeline #property laws and inheritance laws and bigamy laws--what happens if your spouse resurrects 10 years after they die? #think how AWKWARD that would be #what happens if you inherit from someone who comes back do you have to give the inheritance back? what if u used it to buy stuff? #does the jetski u bought with the money your grandpa left u 15 years ago in college now belong to grandpa? #or is there a statute of limitations? #if the guy you got convicted of murdering returns from the dead does your conviction get changed from murder to grievous harm? #how is the grievousness of the harm measured? in the number of years the guy spent as a corpse? #what if you spend 20 years in prison and the victim comes back to life and it turns out grievous harm would have landed you only 5ish years #do you get reimbursed for the extra 15 years u spent in prison? #what is the legal process for proving you have come back to life? #what are the minimum legal requirements for establishing a revenant's identity? #does it become regulation to make fingerprint/dental records of every single person who dies just on the off chance one of them comes back? #what happens if it's someone from like 300 years ago? #the world has changed and everyone they know is dead. is there a social services department that can help with that? #there would be a whole branch of counseling services for people who have reanimated or had a loved one reanimate #grief 2.0 counselors

"batman is first and foremost about rehabilitation and the possibility of redemption for everyone-" is he. is he really, though. when he clearly believes "criminal" is some personality trait divorced from circumstances and goes around calling goons "scum" and acts as if killing once, even under extreme circumstances that are not at all their fault, taints someone forever?

#see: when he finds out cass was made to kill once as a child #he's witnessed cass's current reverence for life and yet he has a fucking meltdown about it because ''she *was* perfect'' #and that's just one example. #like canon is extensive. there are examples for anything and what you cherry pick to read will influence what you believe #the truth of the matter is that the bulk of what *i* have read shows me this lol #like even in comics where he touts this line some of it (his classism and utter disdain regarding criminals for one) still shows #(often in reflection of a writer's values for sure) #and i can reconcile it as... change is something he WANTS to believe is possible. he TRIES to believe it. but he doesn't. #but i can't agree this is his core #there's also the fact that even if it was he'd often display unbelievable carelessness towards rogue's victims due to it #but that's a whole other topic #and this is all something he teaches to those under his tutelage btw. this is something all bats follow to some extent #talking to the void #my thoughts #dc #dc thoughts #dc comics #bruce wayne #i might be opening a can of worms with this one but i needed it off my chest lol

no thought only MQF in brain* (*even more than usual yeah.....)
