"they're coopting jesus to say he was Palestinian!!" one you're jewish so i dont know why you care about jesus, second, Palestinian jews exist, drawing an arbitrary line between jewish and Palestinian is frankly just racist (not to mention patently incorrect+ahistorical), third, he was born in Bet Lahm (Bethlehem) which is you guessed it: in Palestine. not only is in Palestine now, it was in Palestine when jesus would've lived there. fourth, many view jesus as a symbolic figure rather than a literal flesh and blood one, and as such will liken him to many historically oppressed people groups (see: 'jesus was a black man') and these interpretations of him are not incorrect. jesus is the savior of humanity and physical descriptions of him in the bible are scarce because it doesnt matter what he looks like, that was kind of the whole point of his story. fifth, L + cringe + you're zionist + surprise legendary skeleton dog attack

The major corporate broadcast news networks — ABC, CBS, NBC — largely ignored Vice President Kamala Harris' proposal to expand Medicare to pay for long-term, in-home care services for seniors in the two weeks since she announced it.

ABC, where Harris broke the news on an episode of The View, otherwise made only passing mention of the proposal, as did NBC, while CBS ignored it entirely. All told, this transformative expansion of Medicare garnered just 35 seconds of combined airtime across the three broadcast networks in the last two weeks.

This is so damning. Although not everyone watches cable news and a lot of people get news online, this story - about a policy that would benefit millions of Americans - would absolutely spread further with adequate reporting. The people who run these networks learned nothing from 2016. They are declining to do their jobs to educate American voters on the choice before them in favor of catering to a far-right that demands their complacency or else they’ll call them “biased” even though, by default, ignoring one candidate entirely makes you biased!!

Thinking about this tweet (which was about the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post declining to endorse a candidate despite the clear danger Trump presents to the free press)

The solution here is to spread news like this far and wide on social media, especially to your friends and family who may not keep up with political news. Political reporting is a total mess right now but we at least can help by spreading important information and declining to re-post the disinformation and bullshit. Post Kamala’s policies instead. People need to know!

one thing you don't expect about transitioning is that one day you get home and you look in the mirror and it's just Some Guy. you're getting older and the lines set in around your eyes and your hairline's taken a big step back and the baseball hat you grabbed isn't cute or funny, and you think, oh, god, it's just some guy in that mirror. it's the extra from the sitcom named dale or chuck and his car broke down in front of the main character's driveway or he's stuck at a bakery trying to get quarters and someone a lot funnier and better paid is going to try to explain gluten free muffins for a couple minutes of airtime. just some guy, his tired boot of a face, his plain clothes, his normal hat.

and what you didn't know five years ago is you will look at yourself from behind the face of that guy and feel a whole lifetime's worth of love for yourself all at once.

[madlori]

wow I bet the republicans sure are excited about all that time they spent on hunter biden's laptop amirite

although for serious timing this announcement for RIGHT after the RNC is seriously hilarious like trump just burned all that free airtime and vitriol on a candidate he isn't even going to run against

If the "Chicken Dinner" Tradition Existed in the Cosmere...

"Chicken dinner" post requested by anon. :)

If you're not familiar with it, this is the "chicken dinner post." Basically, it's a tradition that Someone on the Internet has created, where you and a friend tear apart and eat an entire rotisserie chicken with your bare hands, fighting over it the whole time. Look, the post I linked explains it better.

Anyway, let's say this tradition (and also rotisserie chickens) existed throughout the Cosmere...

1. Sadeas & Dalinar: Firsthand Observations by Jasnah

--There was but a moment of sizing each other up from the edges of the tarp before both men charged directly at the chicken

--Dalinar kept his feet but Sadeas dove and so got the chicken first. He was able to get a few bites in before Dalinar dove onto him from above.

--There is now intense wrestling over the chicken.

--I observe that while Sadeas appears focused on getting as much chicken into his mouth as possible, Dalinar appears to be more focused on pinning his opponent to the mat--I mean, the tarp

--How did both men lose their shirts?

--Dalinar does now have Sadeas pinned, but the chicken is directly in front of Sadeas' head and he is STILL biting at it. I am not convinced that Dalinar has actually consumed any chicken at all.

--Sadeas has at length grown still. Dalinar has picked up the remains of the chicken carcass and is now holding it in both hands while he consumes it over Sadeas' prone form. However, I do observe that the most choice bits of the chicken do appear to have been consumed already--by Sadeas

--If this is a game with a winner, I do not know how to declare it in this case.

2. Tress & Huck: A Post-Chicken-Dinner Conversation

Tress: A-Again, I'm REALLY sorry. Huck: You don't have anything to be sorry about! Tress: Going in, I thought: well, it's just food, and Huck and I are friends, and I don't see why we can't just share the chicken peacefully. Tress: ... Tress: I don't know WHAT came over me! I ripped that chicken apart! I think I was growling at some point! Huck: Can confirm. Tress: A-And, worst of all... Tress: ... Tress: I can't believe I HELD you in one hand and ate the chicken with my other w-while LAUGHING that you were just a tiny helpless rat! Huck: Yeah, I sure hope that didn't awaken anything in me. Tress: ...what? Huck: A-Anyway, I think it was good for you to let go! Be wild and feral! It's probably healthy! Tress: It was...oddly freeing. Huck: That's the spirit!

3. Steris Rates People's Greatest Strength in Chicken Dinner Combat

--Wax: Airtime. Is able to fling himself and the chicken into the air and eat a great deal of it before they both land again

--Wayne: Hand-to-hand technique, lack of fear. Not afraid to get in close and literally eat chicken out of his opponent's hands

--Marasi: Surprising levels of savagry

--MeLaan: Stuck the entire chicken into her body, through her ribs. May be considered cheating

--Myself: No particular strengths. Did create a Chicken Eating Suit out of the same material as a tarp, and did replace the Central Chicken with a Fake Decoy while hiding the Actual Chicken in a place only I knew, thus securing my victory

5. An Apology Letter Penned by Valette, To Elend

Dear Elend,

Sazed says that an apology letter is traditional after "something like yesterday." He is helping me write this.

I am sorry that I strangled your fiancée during our chicken dinner bout yesterday. When Shan Elariel grabbed that chicken thigh, I was overcome by an uncontrollable desire to take it from her by any means possible. And though I did win, strangling her while shouting that I was the Queen of Chicken was impolite.

I am also sorry that I punched your brother so many times. Zane was not even supposed to be there, but when he showed up and tried to take a bit out of the chicken while I was holding it, well, something came over me. But when he collapsed next to your still-unconscious fiancée, I did feel a moment of guilt...but only a moment, as I was soon overcome by the delicious Victory Chicken I was enjoying.

Finally, I am sorry that I also attacked your father. He wasn't even trying to get the chicken. But he was there. And he was looking at it. And I feel like the Zane thing was his fault. But I understand that it was probably disconcerting when a small woman covered in chicken juices launched at him suddenly while screaming.

I hope we can still be friends.

Sincerely,

Valette

6. Hoid & Kelsier: A Pre-Chicken-Dinner Conversation

Kelsier: I thought you couldn't eat meat. Hoid: Not if it's from a dead animal, no. Kelsier: And you can't perform violence. Hoid: Nope. Kelsier: ... Kelsier: So what are we even doing here? Hoid: Did you know that I was once challenged to a duel? Kelsier: Why would I know that? Hoid: Do you know what I did? Kelsier: [Looks to the side where Jasnah stands, wearing a giant apron that says "It's Chicken Eatin' Time", eyes glinting] Kelsier: [grins] I do love a fight I can't win...

Media needs to stop handing fascists free airtime.

[smokeygrayrabbits]

. . . ok so I know we're all living in the shared delusion that vash and wolfwood are all cute and soft and romantic AND THAT'S GREAT I LOVE THAT! but they're a couple of disfunctional dipshits and that needs more airtime. they're so very very Idiots To Lovers™ and "fellas is it gay to ____". I GUARANTEE that nobody they've ever met in any of the towns they visit thought they were anything other than reluctant homies.

gimme more of wolfwood groaning about having to do anything for vash ever. like, sure he'd die for vash, but you bet your ass he's gonna be the first on one the floor laughing when vash faceplants or chokes on his donut.

he'd take a bullet for vash in a heartbeat, but getting up to go get vash a refill of his drink? out of the question. he'd rather die.

it goes the other way to. wolfwood makes one photosynthesis joke, and they find him strung upsidedown from the local church spire the next morning, tied to his own cross and covered in less than complimentary sticky notes.

they enter a new town yelling at eachother and threatening murder, the towns people spend all day actively trying to separate them because they're 4 weeks murder free damnit, don't ruin this for us, only to find the two of them making out behind a dumpster or something

[txttletale]

out of curiosity, what's your issue with jace beleren? he's never really been my favorite but a lot of the criticisms i've seen have at the very least not been articulated well, so i'd be interested to hear your take (as someone who is good at articulating her opinions as well as supporting them)

essentially his status as magic's posterboy since like 2013 means that with time wotc has felt a progressing need to sand off every interesting thing about his character and replace it with marvel quips. so now he relentlessly eats up story airtime that could have gone to other, more interesting characters. this is not necessarily a fault of jace beleren in and of himself but it does make me mildly irritated whenever he shows up in a set. also him being around and all fleshy again is just anothr reminded of how consequence-free and boring the resolution to MOM was

Anon rebelde.

A Cait le ha costado pero ha aprendido como intentar hacer creíble su relación con Tony aunque el sigue tan poco colaborativo como se ve en el vídeo de IFTA

No hay llegada a los premios porque la ultima vez, el papel de guardabrigo de Tony a la salida del coche de Cait quedó bien patente y ese paso atrás como buen asistente ha quedado para la historia.

No hay desfile en la Red Carpet con Tony porque la velocidad de Cait para alejarse de el saben que es carne de gifs.

Las manos de Tony debajo de la mesa porque sus últimos aplausos denotaban un cierto manierismo muy poco varonil.

Cait radiante, esperando el barrido de la cámara, mientras Tony parece ajeno a lo que sucede alrededor con una sonrisa que podríamos describir como una mueca.

En resumen, la enésima puesta en escena del circo Tait. Si aún hay alguien que compre entradas para ese espectáculo es su problema, no el nuestro.

Dear, dear Anon Rebelde,

¡Te extrañé! Bienvenida de nuevo, en uno de los momentos más bajos que parece que nos gustan con tanto masoquismo, de este lado de la valla. Pero primero, la traducción:

'It did cost Cait, but she learned how to try and make her relationship to Tony look credible, even if he still doesn't seem willing to collaborate, as the IFTA clip shows us.

There is no arrival at the awards because last year, Tony's role as coat handler when leaving Cait's car was blatantly obvious and that relegation to good assistant went on record.

There is no parade on the Red Carpet with Tony because of Cait's haste in getting away from him. They know it's gif material.

Tony's hands are under the table because last year's applause denoted a certain, very unmanly, mannerism.

Cait beams, waiting for the camera to pan, while Tony seems oblivious to what is happening around him, with a smile that could rather be described as a grimace.

In short, the umpteenth staging of the Tait circus. If there is still someone who buys tickets for that show, it is their problem, not ours.'

I overall agree, as always, with your very balanced evaluation of the current state of play. But I also think tickets for that particular show will always be a hot sale in this fandom, either because it will be just up some people's alley (Mordor - I am amazed at the stupidity of their discussing the concept and some of them never heard of Tolkien: mind boggles), or because of the collective trauma/Stockholm syndrome many of us, here, still display. What I mean by that is very simple: for eight years now, we, shippers have been hostages of that Narrative and when something happens along those lines, we will surely react, giving all its toxicity renewed space and airtime. I am not judging anybody, here, because this is only human (and to many, the trauma is palpable) and there is nothing to judge. This is, however, a well-known group behavior dynamic that never fails to deliver. What she did was simply to double down on her PDA. But the experiment failed, because even five years after that Remarkable Week-end, the man still can't be arsed to show any organic enthusiasm or even involvement in his whereabouts. Cue in the SC nostalgia pic galore on shipping blogs and I have to say I am not really a fan: it just fuels that disco inferno cycle and exposes us to the same old, vile criticism, when the core of the shipping belief system is to be found elsewhere. Again, not judging anyone, just trying to understand behavior patterns, here.

Plus, I am really sorry, but he has been looking all sorts of terrible for quite a while, now. Blaming the camera angle (cortisone bloating) or the lighting systems is as mendacious and idiotic as the people circulating it. This kind of free propaganda is also known by all the interested parties and it also never fails to deliver, for many reasons it would be useless to further analyze.

Looking forward to read your witty take on things next time, darling. Siempre un placer leerte, corazon.

<presses your mad about modern journalism button again> may I request a rant

Happily though I'm going to try and avoid talking about what happened last night/this election cycle specifically because it's still too raw.

So I graduated with a journalism degree in the late aughts. My specialization/emphasis is in print, the dyingest of all journalism, but to any journalist who gives half a fuck about the concept of the industry, it's clear that a lot of things are fucked. And it was obvious then, too!

Here's the big ones:

24 hour news fucking sucks. It's resulted in a world where even minor issues can get significant coverage and the journalists involved are always scrambling for something to keep people watching. Facts become tenuous in a setting like this and corrections to shit you got wrong become extremely easy to miss, so it turns out you're often just spreading misinformation and the people swallowing it will regularly miss you saying it wasn't true. There was an incident when I was in college of a hobby pilot accidentally crashing a plane into an apartment building in NYC and this got turned into a multi hour story about whether it was another 9/11. This problem has only been exacerbated by things like the advent of social media and the integration of the internet into absolutely fucking everything.

The concept of objectivity is broken. In an ideal world objectivity means that you report the facts without bias or prejudice. Modern journalism has scrubbed the first part of that out with an eraser and highlighted the second part. Climate change, vaccine effectiveness and safety, how COVID functions, it doesn't matter what issue you pick, if you look at how modern journalism covers it, it's all about remaining impartial, not about telling the truth. And this gets turned into representing both sides. Well we've got a climate scientist on. We've also got to have a climate skeptic, right, to remain objective? No, you fuckers, your job is not to get two people on the air to argue about whether it's raining, your job is to look out the fucking window and tell people if it's fucking raining!

Obviously, capitalism. Big money folks have their fingers in the pockets of newspapers and news networks and are using them as hand puppets accordingly. Wapo can't endorse Harris because Bezos wants Trump to be niceys to him. Sinclair sends its networks objectively false stories and requires them to put them on the air or get sanctioned and punished.

The media isn't innocent in any this; they aren't merely a victim of what's been done to the industry. They often go to bat for the upper crust, for the military, for cops. Donald Trump won 2016 (and maybe this year too) off the back of all the free airtime he got because the media could not stop paying attention to the circus, putting the circus on the air, yelling about the circus being in town, talking about how many people like the circus. They repeat false information and hype up studies that don't actually say anything. They often hide corrections or retractions out of embarrassment. Newsrooms have private secret rules about how to cover international politics and what side should be depicted as sympathetic. They post cop pr statements unedited and do shit like go to diners in Ohio to interview racist white guys about their "economic anxiety." Everything that's destroying journalism, they are complicit in, and often happily.

The media in its best form should be a way to examine and dismantle oppressive machines, like how much journalism was involved in helping tear down McCarthyism. But nowadays the media is gleefully complicit in all of it. The revolution will not be televised, or maybe it will be but with a headline of LOCALS CONCERNED ABOUT RASH OF CRIMES.

fuck, man, it blows!

[justinspoliticalcorner]

MJ Lee and Betsy Klein at CNN:

Vice President Kamala Harris is planning to show up for the previously agreed-upon debate set for September 10 on ABC – even if Donald Trump does not, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN. The source says their understanding is ABC News would provide airtime to whichever candidate showed up – even if that ended up being just Harris. ABC News did not respond to CNN’s request for comment.

Trump said late Friday he had agreed to participate in a debate hosted by Fox News on September 4 and would no longer participate in the ABC debate as he had agreed to do when President Joe Biden was the presumptive Democratic nominee. Saturday morning, Harris campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement that Trump needs to “stop playing games” with the presidential debate.

September 10th could be a free Kamala Harris ad on ABC if Donald Trump cowardly backs out of the debate.

[odinsblog]

Remember what CBS’s former CEO, Les Moonves, said about giving Trump billions in free airtime?

It’s happening all over again.

CNN is enabling Trump today, and tomorrow they’ll pretend they were always fighting against him.

If selling out America to a rapist traitor who sold secrets to Russia makes them richer, CNN does not give a single fuck.

The media is complicit.

Hello i hope im not bothering but im new to the game so everything is kinda confusing me and overwhelming me right now😭😭 what does a new version of the game mean? Like whats going to happen exactly cause i watched the new trailer thingy and i was so confused like what is going on why is everyone screaming what is that supposed to mean?? are we getting new cards and why do they look different? 😭😭 and people mentioned something like orcale and saying they dont want that again?

Nooooo, you're not bothering me! I'm always happy to answer questions if I can! 🙂‍↕️

A new version means the game is going to have a massive overhaul and update with new features as well as having existing features updated or revised to reflect the players' critiques or suggestions. We get surveys from time to time from the devs, and it's a way for us to let them know what we like, what we feel needs to be modified, or even offer suggestions of new features we would like to see.

Our last major update was almost 6 months earlier and coincided with Sylus' release (in essence, version 2 of the game). So now about half a year later, with the first anniversary approaching and Caleb's return, the game is going to see an update to version 3. The devs have previously done a livestream to discuss everything they have planned for version 2. They are now announcing a two-part livestreaming for version 3 that will be aired December 27, 2024 at 19:30 (UTC+8) and January 10, 2025 at 19:30 (UTC+8). The livestreams will air on their official YouTube channel and will also remain available to be watched after the airtime.

The new cards will be released to celebrate the first anniversary of the game's launch. These look similar to the 4-star memories that were available to be obtained via an event known as Oracle of Stars, which was negatively received by both F2P AND P2P players, on account of how scammy they felt. It required spending a lot of diamonds just for a chance to obtain one card (4-star, no less), which was not even guaranteed.

(⬆️ the previous 4-star memories - trailer for it here)

With the heavy backlash, that type of event was only done about two times before it quietly went away. With how similar the new memories look, it's stirring up some concerns from older players that it (or a similar type of event) could return. I have my personal doubts that the devs could be so foolish to do something like that on the game's first anniversary, but this is a very valid concern within the community to have right now until we know exactly how the new memories will be released.

I hope this helped! Feel free to ask more questions or for more clarifications!
