watching death note with my family and after the college entrance episode my mom asked offhandedly if anyone had ever pictured L and light as a couple before. it felt like one single white dove had landed on a crystalline lake in a beautiful pure clearing. no i dont think anyones ever thought of that before

90 फीसदी लोगों की भागेदारी के बिना चल रहा देश, राहुल गांधी बोले, मिस इंडिया, क्रिकेट, बॉलीवुड में कोई भी दलित नहीं

Rahul Gandhi: कांग्रेस नेता राहुल गांधी ने शनिवार को कहा कि उन्होंने पूर्व ‘मिस इंडिया’ की सूची देखी है और उन्हें विजेताओं में कोई दलित, आदिवासी या ओबीसी महिला नहीं मिली। गांधी ने यहां ‘संविधान सम्मान सम्मेलन’ के दौरान यह टिप्पणी की और देशव्यापी ‘जाति आधारित जनगणना’ की मांग पर जोर दिया। पूर्व कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष ने कहा कि 90 प्रतिशत लोगों की भागीदारी के बिना देश नहीं चल सकता। उन्होंने कहा, ‘मैंने…

"it"s down the stack" is sounding like investor-speak for the old programmer comment you'd find in programs that used brain-twisting memory cheats to work [BlockMove () could actually steal a chunk of operating memory on an running Sun server right out from under an authorized process if used with evil intent].

The phase often used in comments for such things was: "And then a miracle occurs." [Lo, the Heavens did part and a Miracle was handed down from on High.]

Too bad the AI and Sales Drones blithely chirp "It's magic!" without any idea of irony.

An Israeli influence campaign is using hundreds of online avatars and fake social media accounts to attack Democratic lawmakers critical of Israel and promote news articles disapproving of the United Nations Palestine refugee agency (Unrwa), according to a report by the Israeli online watchdog, Fake Reporter. According to the report, the targeted campaign has used more than 600 avatars, sending out 58,000 tweets and social media posts to circulate articles published by The Guardian, CNN and Wall Street Journal, among other major news outlets that amplify Israel’s position on the war. The campaign relies on three major social networks, UnFold Magazine, Non-Agenda and The Moral Alliance, which were created prior to the war in Gaza. But the Hamas-led 7 October attack on southern Israel sent the accounts into round-the-clock posting. The sites, according to Fake Reporter, are geared specifically to a “progressive audience”, publishing content on climate change, AI regulation, and human rights, in addition to the war in Gaza. They have more than 43,000 followers across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The avatars promoting the content talk up their identity with lines like, “As a middle-aged African American woman” and use hashtags like #FaithJourney and #AfricanAmericanSpirituality.

Some examples from the report:

And continuing,

The avatars were all created on the same day and their profiles were written with the same formula, subbing out just a few words. The declared gender and ethnicity of the avatars don’t match the profile photos, which have been taken from websites selling headshots. The campaign works to amplify news stories published by major media outlets. First, the fake news sites share the reports. Then, the avatars share them across social media, including on the official accounts of Democratic lawmakers. Avatars also shared social media posts showing video clips of what appeared to be Pro-Palestinian protestors calling for "massacres to be normalised" and calling for the US to "go to hell", contrasting that with peaceful protests of pro-Israel protestors.   In other cases, Avatars simply reshared widely published video clips of US lawmakers questioning the heads of Ivy League schools about antisemitism on campus.  [...] According to the report, around 85 percent of all the US politicians targeted by the campaign were Democrats, and 90 percent of them were African Americans. Ritchie Torres, a black Democratic Congressman with generally pro-Israel views, garnered the most social media engagement from the avatars. Other lawmakers targeted included Cori Bush; Lucy McBath; House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries; and Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock. Israeli news site Haaretz reported in January that the Israeli government had launched an online influence campaign to respond to pro-Palestinian content and reports about Hamas.  It’s unclear whether the campaign revealed by Fake Reporter is part of that initiative.

Thinking of a Jegulus Arranged Marriage Au where they both hate the marriage and actively cheat on each other until they get so fed up with each other that they start trying to ruin every single affair. James brings someone to their master bedroom? Too late Regulus is already there. Regulus tries to have a nice date? Fuck no, James is showing up to cause a scene. James wants to get something nice for a lover? Nah, Regulus is chucking that shit into their expensive fireplace. Regulus wants to try cooking for their lover? James is on his way to start a fire when they both aren't looking.

It's almost comedic seeing them try and fuck up the other's attempt at a normal love life. Sirius argues that they could probably get a divorce after some time but they are determined to reap the benefits of their arranged marriage. But it's dragged on long enough that the line between spite and jealousy starts to blur and soon James and Regulus take fewer lovers and attempts of sabotage become more aggressive, meant to inflict more pain, sometimes doing permanent damage.

Continuing the Tazzy Martin train.

Personal headcanon; while Chris is more prone to the CPS influence at any given time and has small instances of animalistic behaviour (gathering acorns, eating gras, preening his feathers), Martin, usually completely in control, gets hit tenfold by the suits instincts when it happens.

No. Wait. Back up. You're telling me we could've gotten the perfect parallel to The Slap That Made Jinx, but it would've been Jinx slapping a loved one. Jinx lashing out in anger and not realizing she's pushing someone away the same way Vi pushed her. Or maybe realizing it later and just sitting with it, waiting for Ekko to turn out like her, but he doesn't, he keeps fighting, keeps smiling, keeps having friends so it was just Jinx that's broken, or maybe Ekko never needed her, and what does it mean that for the briefest moment, she was like Vi, acted like Vi, and it hurt a loved one but it also felt empowering, asserting Jinx, asserting herself.

And Ekko having to grapple with getting hurt, pushed away, after weeks of trying to get close to Silco after months of fighting for his life, and to see her again later, on the battle field, as his former best friend happily guns down his friends, his new family, as if to challenge him, as if he didn't lose back then in Silco's lair, as if Jinx needs to prove something. What does it mean for Ekko to emphasize with Vi later, who unwittingly did to Jinx what Jinx did to him?

No, I don't think the Dynasty's & Dystopia flashback makes up for that!
