ABC Totally Misses South Korea’s Martial Law

Yoon’s Five-Hour Power Trip: South Korea’s Blink-and-You’ll-Miss-It Martial Law Seoul, South Korea — In the history of political overreactions, President Yoon Suk Yeol may have set a record. For a fleeting five-and-a-half hours, South Korea was under martial law, a bold move that dissolved as quickly as a snowflake in a microwave. Think of it as a dictatorship speed run—short, chaotic, and…

Sora “You are a great teacher and I couldn’t have gotten this far without your leadership” @ Lloyd vs Arin “You failed me not only by making promises you couldn’t keep, but also by your teachings not helping me whatsoever” @ Lloyd

#once again THIS IS NOT A DIG AT CHARACTERS #ESPECIALLY NOT AT LLOYD #it’s just very interesting to me that lloyd doubts his own leadership so incredibly much throughout all of dr #and their two students basically falling onto the opposite sides of the spectrum #lloyd IS a wannabe master and that’s can’t be denied but they’re also trying their best #which helps some more than others #cable’s txts #lego ninjago #ninjago dragons rising #dragons rising #ninjago spoilers #lloyd ninjago #ninjago lloyd #sora ninjago #ninjago sora #arin ninjago #ninjago arin

you can't be a good leader, let alone an ultimate-level one, if you can't work with people or connect with them on a personal level? DICE are referred to as 'friends bordering on family' for a reason. just because he doesn't do that in game doesn't mean it's like 'oil and water'/something he's fundamentally incapable of

I meant that he's like that *in the game specifically*. Of course he's close to DICE, or else they wouldn't've been in his motive video. Hell, outside of the killing game he probably would've worked just the same with the other v3s. Its just the situation that he's in that has him acting on edge and paranoid, pushing the others away do better do what he wants in what he thinks is for their own good. And so he eschews collaboration in favour of trying to pull the strings from outside to best "lead" the others through the killing game as much as possible.

#Shouldve been a bit more specific but my point stands #I get that my interpretation of kokichi isn't necessarily popular #and I really struggle to articulate that I dont think he's cold and unfeeling! Quite the opposite!#he's doing his best and going about it in an extremely round about way because hes. kokichi #he doesn't truly trust any of the other v3s and thats what lead to his death. imo #Maybe if he couldve worked with at least one of the others #together they couldve achieved more #but kokichi chose to go it alone not for lack of ability but quite on purpose #to do what he needed to do. to keep the others out of it. to make himself appear more villainous #so yeah. He is allergic to meaningful cooperation. In this game #Cant speak much on how he is outside of it beyond head canon #pluto answers #Should also note that hes not a leader. Hes a Supreme Leader. which changes the flavour of his leadership style. i feel #He's going to choose weirder less ethical and more underhanded tactics in his leadership because thats what his talent means imo

I made a similar post before a long ass time ago for the other three da protags but now it's time for rook, this time in poll format <3

as always feel free to ramble about your ocs in the tags!! 👀

#💾#dragon age #mostly threw this together bc i think it's a fun dragon age character development question #and i wanted to bring some oc community engagement to the dash today #community? comradery? positivity? idk #← rare moment of me not minding if one of my posts breaks containment #ive had this sitting in my drafts forever and kept forgetting about it so whatever. go my scarab #also i want to make a spirit version but i cant have 2 polls in the same post. L #anyway. for lleyth it's actually hard for me to figure out for once bc like i could see pride for obvious reasons including solas #but at the same time i think lleyth is... actually quite humble and does not believe themself to be any better or more qualified than anyon #like they dont want the position they're in at all and they doubt their own leadership skills constantly #and they do what they must bc they have to. not bc 'they're the only one who can (do it right)' like solas wants to believe ab himself #and i think people who make good targets for pride are people who would do anything for power. lleyth does not want that #which leads me to think they would probably be targeted by despair.#i think they are someone who is used to being forced to lock away their sadness and either turn it into useful rage or compartmentalize it #but there is just. a deep and profound sense of not belonging anywhere and doubting their place in the world/others' lives #and if they weren't the type of person whose instincts kick in like a failsafe and make them keep fighting no matter what #i feel like they really would be stopped in their tracks by an overwhelming feeling of futility and misery #and there are a Lot of miserable moments in lleyth's life a demon could use to manipulate that within them 😔#plus despair seems to be the polar opposite of determination. which considering spite really likes/is drawn to lleyth... yeah. yeah #and the fact that despair demons constantly single out rook in combat is like. haha whats going on there bud........#and i personally think the inverse of this question (what spirit would be drawn to them) answer would be determination #bc damn kid you don't know how to quit. you will punch up at the cost of even your own fists and it's admirable #constantly swinging at something bigger than you that you cant take down etc etc #*take me to war by the crane wives starts playing as i lean out over the balcony smoking a cigarette*#take me to war honey i dare you. i'll be the sweetest thing to ever scare you <3 etc etc #plus its also tasty to me to think about lucanis having to break them out of the Despair Mind Prison #by chipping away at all of the awful things they believe about themself. as payback #🫵 get loved and adored idiot

Very funny to think about higher-ranking houses trying to poach Fiorenzo from House de Riva after everything settles a little post game and being baffled when the answer is always 'No 💖'

#fiorenzo de riva #rook de riva #for one they don't understand the depths of the lifelong codependent bond between him and viago #and second - after the events of veilguard this man has Had It with responsibility and leadership #he's done!!#perfectly content to be a henchman/bodyguard for the rest of his life as long as lucanis is also nearby and safe #(the trauma may or may not also be contributing to this but shhh)#tbh he was never quite capable of imagining what a life outside the crows would even look like #and not even almost a year of travelling with varric was enough to change that #it's very funny to me that he's the polar opposite of gwyn surana who's ambitious to the bone #i do have thoughts percolating in my head about them meeting during veilguard #but fiorenzo is loyal enough to the crows (immediately narced on the crow/venatori lovers without a second thought)#that i think that would go Badly once fiorenzo knew who he was and realised who the blonde elf with crow tattoos hanging around was #... good lord this is a tag essay but anyway safe to say i have rook brainrot lmao #veilguard

psa: (my) skylar and (my) adam are equal matches for each other. neither would win if they fought for real. they'd literally just wear each other down until they both died lmao

psa psa:

some of you have noticed the similarities in the characterizations of both trios. this is intentional. they're intended to parallel each other

skylar & adam: oldest, physically strongest, most powerful, rocks of their teams, protectors of the other two

kaz and bree: emotional, passionate, impulsive, empathetic ones

oliver and chase: most calculated, most intelligent, quieter form of kindness, voices of reason, s t r e s s e d

ALSO while I'm on the subject of bionicle, while I do adore that Matau gets his character development in Web of Shadows, if you'd only shown me Legends of Metru Nui and asked me to guess who'd be the one to push Vakama over the edge, it would have been Onewa, hands down

(Also ALSO: Matau's whole "I understand that being a leader means being brave enough to make mistakes" spiel felt like we were missing some b-plot where Matau has to step up to help lead and discovers this personally)

#bionicle #lego bionicle #web of shadows #posts that are probably incomprehensible to 98% of my mutuals #onewa and matau are kinda opposites?#in that the matau & vakama conflict is set up through their different approaches #(matau is more easily distracted and laid back while vakama is very Driven and weighed down with responsibility)#while the onewa & vakama conflict is stirred up by the fact they're actually quite similar in ways #(both are canonically described as the tacticians of the group)#(and had vakama's visions not pushed him into leadership then onewa would probably have stepped forward)#yes im dissecting the choices of a nearly 20yo lego commercial movie #but in my defence this was a cornerstone of my childhood

Einstein's Legacy: Unraveling the Unsustainable Web of Colonialism, Nationalism, Imperialism, and Capitalism

Albert Einstein, known for his contributions to physics, also offered profound insights into social, political, and economic issues. His views on interconnected concepts like colonialism, nationalism, imperialism, and capitalism highlight their unsustainability and interdependence. Interconnectivity Colonialism and Imperialism: Einstein saw colonialism as a manifestation of imperialism, where…

not to be political but I've seen a lot of people saying that those who call Israel an apartheid don't know what they're talking about and um. As someone who has studied South African apartheid as well as grown up in a Jewish community. This claim has more merit than you think

#this post is brought to you by an article i read “debunking” the claim that israel is an apartheid and their “evidence”#included several policies that are the same if not more intense than apartheid era policies against black south africans #there are comparisons that hold weight here #although one thing i dont get and havent had explained to me yet. it looks to me as though both arabs and jews are indigenous to the region #in the way that both the hopewell culture and lenape people are indigenous to my state of pennsylvania #and thats a flimsy comparison i suppose since the hopewell culture (who lived here first chronologically) has died out #but anyway theres a case for indigeneity for both jews and arabs #its so silly to me that we dont consider both to be indigenous? yes many jews that came into israel in the early 20th century were #white europeans and carried the colonial baggage of that with them #but idk why its so hard to believe that an oppressed group can also be an oppressor?? like where's the intersectionality babes #anyway. the original point of this post was that maybe more of yall need to look into what south african apartheid was actually like #much like h*m*s leadership a lot of the ANC leadership was forced into exile and had to live and work outside of their country #(and this comparison is not perfect im aware. the tactics of the anc and h*m*s are totally different. however i think this comparison has #weight in that they are both one of the biggest names in opposition to the government. they do this in different ways at different levels o #intensity and violence. that is not to be ignored. but there are some comparisons that we can make and exile doesnt strike me as a bad one)#the bantustans in south africa were also constructed in a way that much like the west bank makes it highly difficult for an actual real #state to form #and the way that theyre set up invites puppet governments and corruption. this gives a major advantage to the apartheid state #id recommend reading Trevor Noah's Born A Crime if you havent #its a great introduction to what daily life in aparthid and after was like (its a memoir from about 1990-2005ish)#(apartheid was legally ended in 1994 but there are still remnants of it today and there were even more at the time of Born a Crime)#anyway these are my political thoughts of the day #edit: to my tangent about both groups being able to have some sort of claim to indigeneity. that in no way justifies any of the brutality #going on #i think its espeically cringe of israel to claim indigeneity and a sacred relationship with the land then create an environmental #catastrophe like they have in gaza. making the land unliveable is a bit of a perversion of the relationship you have with that land innit #in case it wasnt clear: ceasefire now and free palestine

think the big Thing for the getaway driver oc is that in the middle of a heist gone loud w/o proper planning sydney gets too fucked up to return 2 the fray after dropping off a couple duffles and the driver makes the call to borrow her mask + guns to go in there Herself and while that is instrumental to making sure everyone makes it out there alive + Not in police custody it ALSO throws a jug of gasoline on the whole payday Case media + fbi efforts wise. absurd speculation on this sudden change in operations (ie fifth heister out of nowhere. spirals out to impossible theories of a huge network of potential agents and all) that puts a TON of pressure on them. gets put on safehouse arrest and is constantly butting heads w dallas during that entire time (him thinking she acted out of line vs her believing it was thru her actions alone that they got out of there. she shot a cop in the head while he was in the middle of cuffing a wounded dallas) while him + bain try to figure out what the hell to do abt it all

#pday stuff #i rlly like maxine as her first name. need to come up w a callsign now #that constant chaffing due to her technically being on loan from another crew (though one a lot less organized + notorious than--#--the payday gang) would make an interesting dynamic. one part her genuinely going about things differently and one part the established--#--members (ie dallas. LOL) expecting that from her #lot of dallas thoughts related to her bc i think him being forced to Assert authority would be interesting when hes so hands off w--#--the hoxton houston situation and is pretty casual overall would be very interesting. like to think thats a bit of a Forced chillness--#--after years of the opposite where hes determined to Not be that sort of guy anymore. and then hes got this whole Situation which he--#--wasnt prepared to handle w someone who isnt Part of the crew but has still been around for a couple months saving their asses and its--#--made all the worse by her own obstinance (+anger at it being Very Strongly recommended she stick around the safehouse+lay low for--#--a while for her own safety. like a lion pacing around its own cramped cage) and its like what the hell !!!!!! it isnt an unwillingness--#--to get involved in a feud between a dear friend and his estranged brother (that he indirectly set the dominos up for in the--#--first place ! lol) it is a matter of Leadership when the payday gang generally gets along pretty well without issue

good things today:

National Park agreed to let us do a year-long research project starting in January which is gonna look REALLY good on my resume (and also be fun!)

difficult conversation with my boss went well (I think she agreed with me and I’d gonna follow my advice/had already reached the same conclusion herself)

fun concert (with banjo!)

made plans with a friend for tomorrow

got school work done

#sooooooooo pleased with today actually #the most important things today were that the meeting go well and the convo with my boss go well #and fellas we are two for two!#i thought she might be really hesitant to agree with me but i feel like she got it #bc i was legitimately coming at it from an unbiased perspective and she appreciated that #of course i DO have a secret biased angle but that’s frankly not even my fault #if someone says they’re gonna quit if they don’t get a certain job and then clearly demonstrates that they are not capable of that job… 🤷🤷#i did not cause that situation - so i am well within my rights to call it as i see it #tbh threatening to quit if you don’t get a job you’re unqualified for says a lot #like. this is a seasonal job - feel free to quit at any time!#but to be so specifically fixated on getting this one particular job and expecting to be handed it despite All Of That…#ridiculous #the definition of making your own bed #but i said it in a nice way of course so it got through #bc i do legitimately want her to improve and i feel like giving her the job would do the opposite of that #what she needs is strong and effective leadership (particularly when it comes to people management) to learn from #will she get it? who’s to say #maybe she’ll quit!#and wouldn’t that just be too bad…

the conservative reactionary vibe of all of kul tiras i will not explain

#Actually I will.#the unironic use of screeching saggy witches as the most common villain #the fact that they added a fat woman playable model but the only instance of that model w a double chin is lady ashvane #YET ANOTHER default european human kingdom with all white leadership #military style leadership #'we could have lived in peace if only the native drust weren't so violent and backwards!'#also being placed in opposition to zandalar. where they actually bothered to hire voice actors of color for once #instead of Jim 'The Caricature' Cummings

deng is lowkey obsessed with ji-hun, it's a specific type of obsession

#* ( deng ) ♡ — the joker #* ( ji-hun ) ♡ — cobra in the hare’s den #* ( ooc ) ♡ — headcanon #it's because he doesn't know anyone else like him and ji-hun is the only one that's under the same leadership and received similar gifts -#- from goro so it's like #he has this obsession for ji-hun because they're so similar yet reacted so differently to their servitude and are completely opposite at -#- the same time #it's not necessarily romantic but it is something #and it is obvious he really likes to talk to and about ji-hun and he imitates him a lot #we're all obsessed with ji-hun

seeing the wall of humanity chanting for a free palestine in front of my university with only a pathetic little huddle with a draped occupier flag over them was really heartening

#like fuck those kids and fuck their leadership for putting them there in opposition to further fucking radicalize them #in favour of their sham state #also worth noting the biggest banner on the side of humanity is 'jews for free palestine'
