Adding to unsettling pattern, Trump promotes threatening video

As a rule, when someone says, “I’m not for violence at all, but...” there’s a rather obvious problem.

This week, Trump kept this going. Asked about the prospect of incarceration as a result of his many alleged felonies, the former president added, “I think it’s a very dangerous thing to even talk about, because we do have a tremendously passionate group of voters, much more passion than they had in 2020 and much more passion than they had in 2016. I think it would be very dangerous.”

It was the next day when the Republican promoted a video that quoted him saying, over an image of his face and his campaign logo, “If you f--- around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before."

As part of an analysis of his incendiary rhetoric, a recent Washington Post report added, “There is now no denying that such language, even if you somehow regard Trump’s intentions as innocent, can lead to a very dark place.”

One popular post-war narrative holds President Harry Truman as making the decision to drop the bomb rather than launch a massive invasion with US forces. History is more complicated than that tidy tell, which itself was a postwar justification. What is notable instead is that President Truman, when he succeeded Franklin Delano Roosevelt, inherited a bomb program that was nearly ready for testing, and which was producing a weapon the Army expected to use. As historians like Alex Wellerstein have argued, there was never a specific moment at which a singular decision was made to drop the bomb.      “The day after Nagasaki,” writes Wellerstein in an article for The New Yorker, “Truman issued his first affirmative command regarding the bomb: no more strikes without his express authorization. He never issued the order to drop the bombs, but he did issue the order to stop dropping them.”https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/what-oppenheimer-doesn-t-tell-you-about-atomic-bombs/ar-AA1eb5gE?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=3aef3ca7aeed4cae9326333d25ff3ff6&ei=191

Such a niche and uncommon thing, but I really do like seeing the different ways people try and pick apart Ganondorf's youth... guy didn't spring fully-formed into the world, he was a kid once! A little baby! Was he born evil, or corrupted somehow? Why or why not? It's really interesting stuff imo. He doesn't even start out with the Triforce even though he is destined against the odds to find it...

Also it's funny to see if people decide to make him a brat or more amicable. lol. No matter what he's gonna grow up to be an asshole so the journey there's always gonna have implications. And he's gonna get to be cute for a while. At least a little.

I made helpful diagrams to elaborate on the chaos situation I sort of touched on here for my au

Brother Group One:

(Shanks and Buggy both consider Ace a younger brother, but they themselves are not brothers)

Brother Group Two:

(Self explanatory. We know this trio)

All Together:

(I'm obsessed with this chaos)

As you can see, Ace is simultaneously oldest middle and youngest. He has the range.

That is all, thank you, goodnight

stepping in 2 say my piece from a queer perspective of this btw because im an itty bit unnormal BUT

i think trying 2 apply standard nuclear family dynamics/roles etc onto demon slayer characters (specifically the hashira) is counterproductive 2 the characters and story as a whole!! like Yes you have Some hashira who r more parental in behavior HOWEVER i think 2 view them as a parent figure rather than a guardian figure reduces a lot of them down to nuclear family traits! like it or not kny has queer elements to it even if it probably wasnt intended (emphasis on found family, a very queer trope, as well as the fact that the corps is legit a bunch of people w similar hardships and struggles coming together to defeat a mutual threat, which is also symbolic of the queer community)

anywaysanyways . there’s a difference between “guardian” and “parent”. guardian 2 me is essentially… taking on the protective role of a parent, yes, but u dont have, like… whatsit. i dont want to say “care” because guardian is also a very caring role that also involves looking after someone but it’s just Different in nature, if that makes any sense? so i think to place ESPECIALLY characters like shinobu, who’s as some have already pointed out, “maternal” nature is just her unhealthy coping mechanism and a projection of kanae, it washes out her character so so so much!!!!

if u WANT to place some kind of labels for family dynamics onto kny characters “guardian” works just fine because that is what they Are. “sibling” also works just fine too methinks.

idk if this is just a whole lot of Nothing but! kny mischaracterization gets on my nerves blegh

FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONS THE NUCLEAR FAMILY STUFF ‼️‼️‼️🗣️ OH MY GOD YES

i completely agree anon loti… wiping a tear from my eyes… guardian…

i see people do this a lot where they take a found family and try to assign them roles like parents/siblings/etc— and it is okay to give them these bonds on their own, but to say like— “shinobu is the mom of the hashira” or “tengen is the cool uncle of the hashira” is pretty redundant and it ultimately goes back to stereotyping ): sometimes a found family is just a group of people. they dont need labels. they love each other and thats all that matters

i know i usually refer to gyomei as the dad of the hashira but i love guardian a lot more. im absolutely gonna use that from now on. its so much more fitting for his character

You people had me thinking joker straight up beat Jason to death with a crowbar

He was unconscious from the beating for most of the ten minute countdown on the bomb and woke up at the two minute and four second mark. He then decided to try and save his mother (who earlier betrayed him to joker to cover up her embezzling money) and they both managed to get to the door before finding out joker locked them both inside. Then they got blown up together

It’s like 200% worse

I've seen so many different interpretations of 73 Yards and all of them are better than any hard, concrete answer or technical explanation that rightly were not provided. It's a ghost story.

I went “I’m not into this but let’s hear them out” on one too many omegaverse fics and now I have thoughts and opinions and headcanons and shit. Horrifying. Please be careful it could happen to you

thinking about your dnd character at random like "I need to give them a HUG" and "them" is an eight-foot-tall archfey who could probably kill me with passive intimidation alone, whose internal organs are just a writhing mass of fungus, and who only for legal reasons has a physical form

Omg to every person who is mad about this like...

Who the fuck cares??? Trump is ready to NUKE PALESTINE and start indiscriminate MASS DEPORTATIONS! I am ready to vote for a LITERAL COCONUT at this point as long as it's not Trump! I would vote for Commander Biden! Truly! Like I fucking do not care!

Did I love Joe Biden? YES! I think he is actually truly one of the great progressive presidents! Was I ready to vote for him? You betcha! Do I think this has all been a bunch of malarkey that is pissing me off? Absolutely! I am mad about it! But I am also READY TO VOTE FOR KAMALA.

Let's go coconuts!!

what did you think of the iii finale?

SO sorry i meant to answer asks sooner but i just kept putting it off to better word my thoughts later. so um. Well

ill be very brutally honest, i thought the iii finale was stupid as all hell. i don't have the right words right now to fully elaborate on the specific parts i hated (maybe if i remember ill add onto this in a reblog,) but everything about it felt so unnecessarily rushed and nothing like the energy of the original show that i loved so much. and im not saying this to be a hater !!! trust me, i avoided speaking on the finale for a while on purpose, in case i just needed time to process it (i was iffy on the alien plot in ii14 on the first watch too but now i LOVE it, so yknow that can happen with sudden new twists and characters sometimes)

i really really wanted to like it, but as it simmered in my head more, and the more i rewatched it, the more ridiculous and out of place it all felt. they weren't just throwing spaghetti at the wall until it stuck at this point, they threw out the whole damn pot and wasted it all. (does that even make sense?)

most of all, it just felt so deeply disappointing. it did have some interesting parts (like the reference to the s1 finale or opening more on mephone issues) but they did them all so strangely, all i can think about is all the ways it could've been better. and thats honestly way more frustrating than just being plain bad.

so many characters were filed down and reduced to clean, perfect Nice Ones by the end just so they could have a sweet feel-good ending which really doesn't fit into any of the rest of the current show's tone, especially if they plan to connect it back to s2. on top of that, it all felt so undeserved and empty. there was hardly any real conflict, emotional or otherwise lasting any longer than 5 seconds at a time throughout the entire season for the character's rest by the end to truly feel cathartic. it felt more like those shallow kids movie endings where everyone dances together and everythings fine. and sure, i know kids are the primary AE audience, but so much of iii just felt near insulting how much the the characters would talk down and overexplain every single emotion they felt and end every conflict with a hug or whatever. its like watching petty toddler fights lmao

this is more than i was expecting to write and ill admit its mostly about my issues with how they wrote mephone by the end but whatever lol i do not like most of iii . sorry 👍
