#aoc stream

[gildagracedent]

I feel like if Harvey were to campaign for office. today, he'd stream things like him playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney /similar games and answer questions about law in pop culture. That, or make videos ranting about why crime dramas are inaccurate. His intelligence, humor and obviously his good looks would make him extremely popular. Hell, with today's streaming culture, watch Two Face receive requests to do the same --- and on election years, him calling out the candidates and endorsing others. (Granted, he knows that some candidates may not want his endorsement.) Still, I would pay money to hear him do a play by play calling out Trump every step of the way while ranting. Gilda calls it prosecutor Harvey and he did it anytime they were watching a show or movie with law and or politics.

uh oh guys, hot take alert:

i think revali may have invented hand held aerial archery HEAR ME OUT- (this is a long one boys)

okay. evidence one: why the fuck would a rito shoot like that. like, it makes nearly zero sense, it would be such a hindrance to their flight and their main stake is that they can be higher than you can shoot whilst still pinging you... which revali has overcome with his gale

evidence two: tulin and the concept arts. obviously rito style archery would be held in their talons. before totk came out idk if anyone had really thought about it too much, but the developers had, as you can see in concept art (from the creating a champion book). and like, its logical, powerful, and allows for peak maneuverability. also, when in flight revali (and teba) holds his bow in his talons before switching to his wings. surely its easier to keep it in your wing (obvi ignoring the effects to flight but hes doing that anyway firing the damn thing) rather than switch back and forth- unless you were taught that way, because why would you hold it elsewhere, you need it in your talons to shoot.

evidence three: we dont see any other rito do it (...kind of). throughout botw and totk, we never see another rito flying with a bow in their hands. in totk, its mostly tulin, who holds it in his talons, but in botw the big one is teba. during the medoh quest, he actually gives *link* his bow, and therefore does no shooting in the sky. teba and harth had both tried to take on medoh before, but we never see this, and while they holds their bows in their hands *on the ground,* we dont see it.

...except for aoc (uh, spoilers?). there are two times we see a rito other than revali hold their bow in their hand for aerial archery. but it is not with any rito soldiers, either during cutscenes (the bows are only on their backs) or gameplay (they swoop down, and then hand hold bows on ground. they arent seen flying at all but thats prolly for the same reasons as botw: its very hard to code that (and so they write the lore around that fact)). the first time we actually see another rito do this, we dont see it. Its teba, as he comes thru the portal, but all we see is the arrow shot, and then him freeze frame with the bow in one wing. we dont see the bow in his hand for the rest of the fight. the second time we actually see him fighting like this, it *is* in the air, but its noticeably different to revali.

hes a lot slower, it clearly takes a LOT more effort to shoot the bow, and he only pulls off one arrow at a time. its canon that revalis bow is heavier/harder to draw, and he manages to effortlessly stream arrows whilst fucking floating midair. i think teba, forever a revali fanboy, heard of how the champion mastered his own style of archery and sought to teach himself, but lacked one key thing: revalis mastery of wind.

evidence three point five: revali could easily use his powers to hold him in the air longer/slow his descent long enough for him to fire his shots. it makes sense, really. if he can use his gale to propel him, he can sit on the updraft for a hot sec, or even curve the path to carry him along while he lines up the shot. this would mean he wouldnt need to flap as much as other rito, who would obviously need to keep flying

evidence four: revalis fighting style and his needs. revali works with non rito, obviously. he needs to be able to communicate with them on the battlefield, and they wont understand the muffled chirps if he holds his string in his beak, so he needs his mouth free to speak hylian. also, revalis main tactic is fly up with gale, shoot, fall, either shoot more or use velocity and weight to knock around opponents, and then fly back up. he often needs both feet planted firmly on the ground to get a good hold of his gale, something that is harder to do if you have a bow in the way.

also, take for example the kick he delivers link in their fight (aoc). that would possibly damage the bow, or give the opponent a chance to grab his weapon, if he held it in his talons. and to switch from feet to back is a risky maneuver during freefall, and could lose precious seconds, and then when you get back in the air you need to get it off your back again. its much easier to keep the bow loosely in your wing the whole time, meaning your free to attack melee, land and rise all while not wasting a single moment getting your next shot lined up.

so yeah, i think the rito used the talon grip for aerial archery, and would often use the hand held method on the ground for a variety of reasons (more powerful shots?, easier in some situations like hunting), but revali was perhaps the first to use hand held aerial, another reason he was one of the greatest archers ever.

So, it seems pretty clear that Elon wants people to like him. And he has very thin skin. He claims he bought Twitter to create a free speech paradise. But we are nearing his endgame now, and it seems pretty clear why he blew $44 billion dollars.

If you look at the replies to this tweet...

You can scroll and scroll and scroll and you will not find any dissenting opinions.

All of his acolytes bought "Twitter Blue". Elon then made sure their tweets were given priority in any thread.

You can click on any Elon tweet and see nothing but adoration and praise given by a huge chorus of blue checkmarks. He is making them pay $8 to praise him.

And if someone makes a popular tweet that is critical of Elon, all of the top replies will be those same blue checkmarks defending him.

He has turned Twitter into a virtual North Korea.

But it gets worse...

Since every person with a blue checkmark is almost guaranteed to be a garbage human being, the replies to *any* popular tweet will show these chuds at the top.

So if a trans person makes a popular tweet... the thread will prioritize an endless stream of transphobia.

If AOC makes a popular tweet, blue checks will inundate the replies with insults and gross misogynistic memes.

He ruined Twitter just so people could lick his boots.

Kipp Jones at Mediaite:

Lifelong Democrat and famed attorney Alan Dershowitz left the party this week, citing what he said were openly anti-Semitic elements at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last month. During a conversation with radio host Zev Brenner on the YouTube-streamed program Talkline, Dershowitz said he had been considering leaving the party and his breaking point came when he was heard hear pro-Hamas and “anti-Jewish” rhetoric outside of the United Center. Dershowitz said some of the anti-Jewish hatred came from inside the convention from Democratic lawmakers. “They had more anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist people who were speaking, starting with AOC – a miserable, anti-zionist bigot,” he said. “Then of course they had Liz Warren who is one of the most anti-Jewish people in the Senate.”

“I was disgusted at the Democratic National Convention,” he said. “Absolutely disgusted.” [...] “I am no longer a Democrat,” Dershowitz shot back. “I am an independent. I will decide who to vote for at the last minute based on the totality of the circumstances. I want to see how they deal with Iran, I want to see how they deal with Iran’s attacks on the United States, I want to encourage the current administration to support Israel. So I’m not revealing my vote until maybe November 1. I need to hear all the information, all the evidence, but I am no longer a member of the Democratic Party.”

Appearing on the August 23rd, 2024 edition of Talkline Network's Talkline With Zev Brenner, DINO and Israel Apartheid State supporter Alan Dershowitz announced that he was leaving the Democratic Party and becoming independent.

Dershowitz has long hinted in recent years about leaving the Democratic Party, due to the fact that he has regularly defended Donald Trump's legal foibles and the party's increasingly pro-Palestinian turn.

From the 08.23.2024 edition of Talkline Network's Talkline With Zev Brenner:

༉‧₊˚🔭彡 newjeans career in 2024 tarot reading ~

this will include…

newjeans new music, new jeans as a group, new jeans members individual careers.

DISCLAIMER: this is all for entertainment and depends on the energy being read at the given time. the future is always able to change as we all have free will. this reading is done with the assumption that everyone mentioned continues to live how they are living without sudden changes, if that makes sense.

⤷ ୨🎐୧࿐

newjeans new music : KoC AoC 5oS KnoC QoP rx Justice

we might get music about self awareness and love or mv with an older figure with masculine energy acting as a guide or councillor of sorts. the music may take a more ‘spiritual’ route with things like angels or spirits in it. it’ll be pretty unique and creative. maybe the mc of the music video is new to love or the relationship ? it’ll have a dreamy and floaty kind of vibe. it may have to do w the mc going through some pain and trauma like bullying. i get the vibe of someone sort of running away from reality and ending up elsewhere, like Alice in wonderland. but to a dreamy kind of aether dimension. i think we will get an rnb song with the vibe or hurt, cool with you, or ditto. it’ll be very creative and fun to watch

we might see fans angry that there wasn’t more. it’s like ador is being stingy and hiding things from us. maybe there wasn’t enough music released? regardless, fans desperately want more. OR newjeans won’t really get the reaction fans feel like they deserved. maybe not enough streams or appreciation for this new music? and they feel like they didn’t get enough. still, fans will love the beauty and art of it and find it very imaginative and romantic (romantic as in beautiful and such). we might get a little controversy again, like with min heejin. fans might think there’s some dishonesty and lying and min heejin is running away from accountability for whatever the issue is. i think the issue may be about the aesthetics of the mv feeling inappropriate somehow. maybe it’s spiritual nature will have religious references that don’t sit well with fans. or it’ll be the aesthetic itself not sitting well with fans.

things that come to mind: cool with you by newjeans, mortue aesthetic, angels, crosses, suicide and death, rebirth and innocence, isolation, awakening, divinity, satanism and catholicism, the cold, all about lily chou chou, occult/metaphysics

new jeans as a group : the empress KoC 2oC

they’ll be a lot more unique and creative and bring a good flow of cash to ador. alottttt of creativity i’ll go into newjeans in 2024 they’ll be bringing in new things to k-pop just like in the past. a lot of respect for music as an art will go into newjeans 2024 and they’ll gain a lot of respect and admiration for it. their creative team will be respected alot. they’ll be respected by other idols and have a lot of collab opportunities sent their way.

new jeans members individual careers :

Minji : 8oC KnoP rx the emperor rx

she might get less appreciation despite her hard work and seem like she’s fading into the bg a bit. she might be overworked and busy 24/7 with ador acting almost like a tyrant. even though she’s being worked so much, she’s still not being appreciated the way she should be. she will have little to no self control with her professional life and feel very overwhelmed and tired. she's very unwilling to share so that's all lol.

Danielle : 10oP AoW both rx the moon QoP AoS

this may be an unstable year for her professionally. behind the scenes might be a lot of loss of profit and disappointment from ador causing hesitancy, anxiety, and a serious lack of passion. we might see more vulnerability and emotion from danielle. there’s a lot going on behind the scenes though. there also is a lack of transparency from the company with a lot of things, fuelling her anxiety and confusion. this’ll be heightened by potential controversy surrounding their new comeback. still, among fans she’ll build a reputation of someone who is mature and composed. she’ll keep the same nurturing kind girl image she has rn and get positive attention. she may get praised for positive behaviour or go viral for a cute interaction with another idol. even though she’s anxious and nervous, she’s still ready for new projects and is willing to take whatever the world gives her.

Haerin : (tumblr like reset everything from haerins reading and what i had started after idk y:( i remember the message but not the cards. sorry.)

haerin will be taking up more leadership roles within the group. as well as sending messages outwards and communicating with fans in a manner that comes from the heart and from a place of true love and passion. she’s going to feel ready to take on what’s new and the creative directions the group is going to take. she’s going to use her love and connection to fans to elevate her career. she going to gain significant respect from people all around her. staff, njs members, and netizens alike. still, she’s going to feel as if something is missing. like newjeans aren’t getting the respect and appreciation they want and even though they work hard, this isn’t reflected in the way they’re being treated by the media and their underwhelming reactions. she feels like what they're making is great and she is working hard and intelligently, but the pay off is still low.

Hanni : PoC rx 7oS rx QoP

with PoC and 7oS both in rx, we might see hanni getting into some scandal or drama surrounding her negative and immature behaviour from the past. this may reveal more about her character and cause some uproar and sad/disappointed feelings with fans/netizens. REGARDLESS, ador and/or hanni will step up almost immediately and apologize to clear up the controversy. it may be a past classmate for friend making comments about her judgement and immature or rude behaviour. i don't see anything to the extremes of bullying though. it may also be a distasteful comment she makes. despite all things, hanni will work very hard this year and make sure she is providing well for fans.

Hyein : 2oS PoC 10oP rx the sun rx

she might be quiet or inactive online, feeling sensitive to netizens comments and hesitant to express reactions and feelings. she'll follow her intuition most of the time and she may experience setbacks with her sources of income like modelling and being an idol. it seems like newjeans won't be growing or gaining all too much this year, as some of the members (including hyein) seem to share the sentiment of disappointment regarding response to their music and creations. she'll feel like her expectations were too high, and she will be unable to appreciate the reactions given by fans and netizens. this may make her appear more silent and sad.

hope you enjoyed!

next up . . .

ive, bts, aespa, nmixx, and more.

More stream-of-consciousness musings related to the topic I was posting about yesterday. (I'm really really tired. This may not make tons of sense or hold together that well.)

Suppose that controversies over universal health care were to get focused on how unaffordable necessary surgeries are for too many people, and the whole thing became framed as a debate over whether or not people should have access to surgery. I wonder if then there would be a substantial number of activists walking around with stickers or signs saying "I <3 Surgery".

I bring up this hypothetical because it seems like such a motto would be an absurd choice, but actually I could kind of see why some people might proclaim it. This is hard for me to relate to, but some circumstances lead a person to be overjoyed about getting some kind of surgery, when it may save or vastly improve their life (I've seen this overjoyed reaction on My 600-lb Life for instance, and then there are trans folks who desperately want transition surgery, and so on), and that's a valid emotion to have without being obligated to carry along with it the baggage of wishing circumstances in the first place were different so they wouldn't need surgery. My own point of view is of someone who is a wimp about medical procedures in general, has never had any kind of major surgery, and finds the idea terrifying (both the procedure itself and the aftermath).

If we add to our hypothetical universe the supposition that there's an anti-surgery pushback by people who think getting surgery is wicked and evil (see Christian scientists maybe? and certainly some of the more extreme anti-trans types currently, about certain types of surgery?), then it would be even more understandable to want to proclaim "I <3 Surgery" to signal opposition. I still think it would be kind of a dumb, tasteless, and ineffective idea though.

Another hypothetical that occurred to me today is that someone on the left-wing side of fiscal issues, wanting to push back on Republican tax-cut and anti-benefits-programs policies, might go around with a sticker saying "I <3 Taxes". In fact, the hypothetical circumstance is perfectly real at least in the current US political environment, yet I've never run across an "I <3 Taxes" sticker. It seems unthinkably silly. And it's even the case that there's a certain subset of people to push back against, who think taxes are inherently a form of evil: the "Taxation is theft!" libertarians.

A variant on this, by the way, would be "I <3 Paying Taxes", which I think is already kind of implied by "I <3 Taxes", or at least that's how many people would understand it. But I think this variant illustrates my point (to the extent that I have one) even more clearly. Because nobody, unless they're trying to be really edgy or advertise themself as both wealthy and super generous, truly expects anyone to believe that they enjoy paying taxes. (I distinctly remember then-Senator Obama mentioning that he hated paying taxes in order to make a point in his third debate against McCain in 2008!) And it seems kind of insensitive to those who aren't rich but do have to pay some substantial taxes and feel financially limited by it, even if said people are Democrats who happen to favor those taxes.

Either way, it just seems like something that you wouldn't see, which is perhaps why I feel so taken aback by how many people are happy to go around saying "I <3 Abortions". (Counterargument: perhaps we would see "I <3 Taxes" if only the political Overton window didn't restrict most of us to the view that taxes are generally bad except possibly when forced on the rich: note that certain left-wing types, most notably AOC, are willing to go walk around proclaiming "Tax the rich!". I'm still not super supportive of this tactic, but it makes a lot more sense to me than "I <3 Taxes" would.)

[only-by-the-stars]

Do you have any particular preferences when it comes to dub voices in BOTW/AOC? Like, language wise? Do you think there's one dub that you "default" to for characters' voices? I got curious so I'm asking a few of my mutuals that have any sort of interest in the series to learn what they think about it.

beyond some streams done by a friend, I haven't heard enough of the other languages to really judge them. I tend to just listen to the English ones when I play, and the English dub is... mostly good, though there are some glaring flaws (Zelda being the biggest one). which honestly baffles me because Nintendo has the money to pay for a standout dub? like, the same friend that's streamed AOC in a couple different languages also streamed Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, and I was impressed by that dub, so we know Nintendo can do it! I just don't know why they'd do this to one of their biggest series. o.o very weird.

that said.

Italian Rhoam is unbeatable.

[sugarmountainspring]

Remember when all those politicians were going on stream to play dk64 and team fortress during covid? I remember I caught 5 mins of Jagmeet Singh playing Among Us and every time he'd do a task he'd say shit like "right now we need to fix the air compressor to keep our ship supplied with fresh air, just like how in Canada we need to stop big oil to keep our air clean!" And everyone else tuned in for people like AoC and hbomberguy were like "yo who tf is this guy kick him from the lobby"

[featuresofinterest]

listening to hasan's stream at work and he's casually like "yeah i have more people watching me than nbc right now. yeah i can't interview aoc because they're kicking me out of this space and i have nowhere to interview her"

Hey there lovelies. Happy start to the weekend! Work has been throwing me through a loop this week, and with my girl Zoey still sick I've been completely out of it, so I'm gonna try to go to bed early tonight if I can, so love notes will be short tonight. I know the past many months have been rough without our show. Since the cancellation we've had ebbs and flows, and sometimes it's hard to remember just how long it's been. (I literally caught myself saying, man this cancellation has been going on for a year!-- wow no, not that long but damn!) The good news is, so many of you have taken that grief and turned it into something beautiful. Whether that's friendships, or artwork, or fibre work, or writing, podcasts, podfics, songs, gifs or image edits-- or even just kind words you give to friends or strangers. You really are wonderful, lovelies, don't forget that. Remember that your kindness is a strength, and it makes all our lives better. Thank you for being kind to me, and all your fellow crew since the cancellation.

With WBD struggling a bit, and BINGE streaming OFMD S1 and S2, I'm really starting to feel hope again. I know everyone's weary of that kind of hope right now, so feel it when/if you can. But I feel like things are looking up <3 Rest well crew, see you tomorrow.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is firing back at "rumors" from left-wing activists that she is hosting a high school military recruitment fair, claiming on Instagram that "large accounts" were making up lies about a recent event whose guests included military personnel from service academies.

Ocasio-Cortez co-hosted a "students service fair" with Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., Monday for high schoolers in the Bronx to "learn about the resources available to students" through the district office and connect them with service academies, according to a flyer for the event. 

At the event were guests from the U.S. military, Marines, Naval Academy, Air Force and Coast Guard, prompting backlash toward the progressive representative who proposed a ban on certain forms of military recruitment in 2020.

"Politics is so crazy because people can just wake up and make up whatever they want to say about you," Ocasio-Cortez said on her Instagram account Monday evening. "Today, someone made up a rumor that I, me, was hosting a military recruitment fair for high schoolers. Does that sound like something I would do? No… But Somebody started a rumor that that’s what was going on. Everyone just believed it and accepted it. And the problem is when large accounts start platforming this, then is starts spreading like a wildfire and results in demands to cancel this event or for me to not show up to it."

AOC, TOP DEMOCRATS ISSUE STINGING REBUKE OF BIDEN OVER FAILED CLIMATE PROMISES

The congresswoman said that spreading false rumors is "not just a right wing thing" and those who made claims regarding the event should take down the posts.

"For doing this today, I was subject to a lot of really vile rhetoric and attacks all day today, because of a rumor. And I can’t stress how much this is not just a right wing thing," the progressive representative said. "And then even worse, after some of these accounts started platforming and spreading this completely false claim, it circulated big. There was one account where twelve thousand people like it… It leads to real safety issues and I just think it's an opportunity for all of us to pause and take a breath, because it's not all it looks like sometimes."

Ocasio-Cortez explained that when students are applying to military college universities, such as West Point, there is an application requirement for a federal nomination from a member of Congress, a senator or other federal elected official. 

"We have a responsibility to inform people of that process and there were a couple of people there to talk about that," Ocasio-Cortez said trying to set the record straight regarding the military guests involvement at the event. "And even that was such a small fraction of the tables and what was there."

‘SAD DAY’: AOC, DISAPPOINTED DEMOCRATS GO AFTER BIDEN FOR OPPOSING DC LAW REDUCING PENALTIES ON VIOLENT CRIME

She went on to say that large accounts, "especially for activists and left leaning spaces, are going to get it wrong. And if they just pretend that they never get it wrong, how are they any different from other positions of power and how people operate when they get that."

"If you’re trying to impact the decisions that are made, but you have lied in the past about the decision makers, then why should people believe anyone with a track history of sharing misinformation and not owning up to it after the fact?" Ocasio-Cortez added.

In 2020, Ocasio-Cortez introduced an amendment to a House Committee on Appropriations bill that would ban military recruitment on live-streaming platforms such as Twitch, after arguing that military recruitment efforts target kids and young adults.

"Children should not be targeted in general for many marketing purposes in addition to military service," Ocasio-Cortez said on the House floor. Despite her efforts, the measure lacked the support needed to pass the amendment in the House.

Upon news of the event, the congresswoman was accused of hypocrisy for co-hosting an event that connected high schoolers with academies for military recruitment.

"Hey @AOC what's up with this? This is frickin' gross. You were sent to DC to fight against imperialism & fight for the poor & working class, NOT THE WAR MACHINE! What are you doing? Stop it," one user, who identify in their bio as an eco-socialist, wrote alongside a photo of the event flier.
