the nether is terrifying because it is hell and monsters live there who want to hurt you. however, it gets even more terrifying when you think about Intentional Game Design. a world where you'll die if you try to sleep. you could get stuck there, growing wearier and wearier, until your eyes start to blur with the waves of heat rising from the earth. when you cave in and lay your head to rest the ground will explode. the souls trapped in the dirt will scream with you. you will never be heard. this world will rip you apart for the crime of being human. you cannot win. you cannot rest now. there are always monsters nearby.

it's extremely critical that you see the photo of the perp walk for luigi mangione as being propaganda. i've seen so many people wave it off and instead fawn over his looks. and trust me, i know it ended up being kind of pathetic and weird - but please don't brush it off as a "modelling opportunity" for him. it's a fucking terrifying message the police are sending.

i want to make a few comparisons here, in case you're not from the US or familiar with why the perp walk thing is something to pay attention to. just to set the groundwork for why this is a purposeful, unusual, and cruel act by the nyc police - for why this is not a common occurrence and for why that matters.

the prosecution alleges the show of force is due to the charge of "terrorism." for comparison, in june 2015, tsarnaev was found guilty for the boston marathon bombing, which killed 3 people and injured hundreds. his actions are considered to be an act of domestic terrorism. i have spent the last hour looking through google for pictures of similar to mangione's perp walk - and so far, i have found zero. i also just do not personally remember a moment like that, despite living in boston at the time.

they allege that luigi is a stone-cold killer who carried out a longterm plan, making him particularly dangerous. again for comparison: in nyc, recently cory martin was found guilty of the killing of brandy odom. the murder was planned and premeditated to steal insurance money. and yet no staged perp walk. why didn't her life matter enough for a "show of force"?

but mangione gets paraded by a veritable army of police officers as if he is a rabid animal. for a single citizen who allegedly killed one other single citizen, the "largest perp walk ever" occurs.

so what is the "strong message" that the mayor and the police were trying to send here? the mayor speaks as if mangione is already convicted of terrorism. there is a very thin number of people who feel threatened by the CEO's death. none of us felt like mangione needs to be under massive armed guard.

the message is that you shouldn't resist. they are trying to "make an example" of him - that if you behave badly and kill a single rich person, you'll be treated as if you killed hundreds of people. you will be treated worse than a man who was found guilty of terrorism. you will be considered guilty without trial. the message is that the rich are a protected class, and you cannot touch them without massive punishment. they are trying to prevent a revolution by showing dominance and force against you.

the message is that the police are a puppet of the wealthy and that the law is not equally applied across class disparity. it is "some are more equal than others." it is "one life is more precious than another."

the show of force wasn't for luigi. it was for us. it was a warning. they are trying to remind us who is really in control.

legit so annoyed about the way the corporate media wants to paint those women waiting outside the court as crazy and as only being there because Luigi is hot. I looked up pictures of them outside the court and they all held signs and were there to send a message: "health over wealth", "denial of medical care = violence", "murder for profit = terrorism", "the United States healthcare stole my livelihood", "insurance lobbyists line politicians' pockets", "healthcare reform NOW". Yeah, they're there because he's hot for sure. Also, there were a lot of men as well but hey, that's not helping the narrative right?

UnitedHealthcare, the largest health insurance company in the US, is allegedly using a deeply flawed AI algorithm to override doctors' judgments and wrongfully deny critical health coverage to elderly patients. This has resulted in patients being kicked out of rehabilitation programs and care facilities far too early, forcing them to drain their life savings to obtain needed care that should be covered under their government-funded Medicare Advantage Plan.

It's not just flawed, it's flawed in UnitedHealthcare's favor.

That's not a flaw... that's fraud.

With the approaching opening of the Rafah crossing and the occupier allowing travel soon, I may be able to get my family out. Your support now is very important to get them out. Your previous support helped me keep my family alive and provide them with the necessities of life and food.

If you're feeling the Christmas cheer, consider supporting a vetted fundraiser! Just one small donation from you will bring a lot of joy and relief to these Gazans. Ahmed and his family need $50,000 to leave Gaza and seek medical treatment for Ahmed's teeth, as he need implants that each cost $1000 per tooth. They are far from their goal still, so keep on supporting and sharing!

Oh happy people, oh human beings, perhaps you are listening ears, I am speaking to you, Shahada Al-Habash from the Gaza Strip, specifically from Jabalia, one of the places where death, destruction, devastation, hunger and poverty abounded in the Gaza Strip. My family and I were displaced in search of safety, security and means of survival. We ran and slept in the street, and my wife was pregnant with her twins, one of whom she lost at the beginning of the war when we were being pulled out from under the rubble of our house that was destroyed by the war machine over our heads, and the other we gave birth to specifically in the fourth month of the war, whose life began in the new year, perhaps it was the year of life for us and for our beloved Strip. I named her Hayat to bring us back joy, life and hope, but God’s will be done. My wife, my three daughters, Hikaya, who is ten years old, Sham, who is eight years old, and Hayat, who was born in the war, who is ten months old, are now displaced in Khan Younis. We sleep on the ground and seek the sky as a blanket. We only have a worn-out tent that does not protect us from the heat of summer or the cold of winter. As you may know, we do not get the most basic necessities of life easily. Sometimes, getting a piece of bread or a blanket for you and your family may cost you your life. I hope that you will help me and my family survive and provide some of my family's needs so that I can start a new life with my family.

Thank you sincerely for your solidarity. We pray that every effort you make in serving others will be abundantly rewarded. To those who donate, pray, comment, share - THANK YOU!
