Hey loves, just wanted to say, if you think I've been rather absent lately, well, I have. I've found myself in a place of really needing to change things in my life and have healthier boundaries with the internet. So I'm spending a lot less time on my phone. It's a really good thing though! Already I'm sleeping better, and getting more interested and joyful about things in my day to day life. Prayer life is seeing a significant uptick, and I'm actually enjoying the time I do spend on the internet. I promise tumblr is one of the essentials in 'things to do on my phone when I'm there'! Right up there with messages and emails. God has definitely been nudging me toward this for awhile, and I've finally accepted it. @dimsilver's post about sitting in silence and embracing it was an important seed that has finally sprouted, and of course @sailforvalinor and your digital fast gives me a sense of community even as we're both away from our devices. I'll also say that in-person life has been more fun and interesting lately, and I like being able to engage more fully with it. I love the chrumblr and fandom communities on here, and with God's help I'm finding a rhythm that gives me the best of both worlds, and keeps me healthy.

gojo showing off your back scratches to geto
( cont from this fic! req, visual ) .
contains: sex talk, desc of back scratches, crack, sugu is called daddy once (as a joke.. right..)
Tumblr media
everything was relatively peaceful in suguru's apartment. key word: relatively.
a forgettable yet appreciated sunday afternoon, not a cloud in sight despite the weather forecast predicting downpours of rain. either way, the raven-haired man insouciantly rested across his white couch, reaching the conclusion that today would be a day for self-care, relaxing, and perhaps some meditation.
there was only one thing ruining his peace.
all morning, suguru has been forced to try and ignore the stain a certain someone has left on his couch — a pair of unecessarily expensive yet dirty shoes being the culprit.
despite these attempts, every once in a while his gaze can't help but wander over at the mark — as if it'd poof out of existence if he glared hard enough.
"fuckin' asshole.." he mutters. it was a wonder his relationship with his best friend managed to stay so promising despite all their differences, yet suguru wouldn't have it any other way, even after situations like this.
right when he grumpily turns back to the tv — which was playing some crappy, low budget rom-com — his apartment door is yanked open and suguru swears he nearly jumps out of his seat.
great, was this it? was he about to get robbed, perhaps evicted? and then probably die? forced into the afterlife knowing gojo's shoe-shit was still on his new couch? no that can't—
"i fucked her!"
suguru whips his head towards the apartment door, announcement being disregarded as he nearly groans in agony. speak of the devil.
big blue eyes peak out from under circular sunglasses, one hand already raised in preparation for a dap up while his stupid, big, dirty shoe pushes the door closed behind him. gojo wears a black compression shirt with grey sweats, marching over to his friend with a ginormous grin across his cheeks.
"take your shoes off, now," suguru snaps, nodding to his friend's feet with a frown.
"yeesh... whatever y'say, daddy," the bastard never loses his smile as his hands raise in surrender, kicking them off by the door smoothly. "what's got your panties in a twist?"
geto pinches his nose bridge. "don't call me that," as he continues the scolding, he points to the living room with his free hand. "you got a mystery stain on my couch, satoru. do you know how many youtube videos i watched trying to get this shit off?"
unphased, gojo takes a look at the strangely colored blob against the armrest's leather material and shrugs. "my bad. did you try febreeze?"
"what— no? dude, febreeze is for.." when suguru looks back up to sourly meet his gaze, he could immediately tell the white-haired man was already drifting back into la-la-land, words going in one ear and out the other. "..nevermind. why're you here?"
at the reminder, satoru seemingly brightens, head shooting back up as if he was just told he'd won the lottery.
"oh god, don't make that stupid face—" he pauses. "the fuck are you doing?" suguru might as well say goodbye to his self-care day, because now gojo was stripping in the middle of his living room, shirt thrown haphazardly onto the still-very-much-stained couch.
"just look!" suguru squints as his friend swivels around to face the wall, pushing his bangs away to get a better view of the— oh shit.
it takes the raven-haired man a second to process what he's seeing before shuffling forward, closely examining the achingly red, bulging scratch marks displayed sexily across the latter's back and shoulders. "no way.."
suguru knows the strongest sorcerer well enough to notice how he purposely didn't use reversed cursed technique on these scratches, just so it'd be obvious to anyone that caught a glimpse of what exactly occured. to his further dismay, he can already picture a smug and sweaty gojo walking around their local gym like this, proud simper on his pretty lips as he easily raises a pair of weights in his veiny hands.
a hiss escapes geto's mouth as he runs his finger down a particularly agitated one, knowing exactly how painful they could be after experiencing many hook-ups of his own. even so, satoru only licks his lips, neck craning to the side so he can pride himself in his friend's gobsmacked expression.
"damn, these are deep. you actually hit it?" suguru confirms, raising a celebratory hand.
turning back around, satoru daps him up, a massive smirk now on both their faces. "hell yeah, it was amazing."
it was impossible to predict what gojo would do next after barging through his front door — especially considering how many times he's done so — but this has to be the last thing suguru ever expected.
not that he was complaining — in fact, all of geto's temper and need for relaxation seemingly flew out the window, the feeling of proudness for his best friend overthrowing anything else.
and even if he hated to admit it, the way gojo was so eager to come over and announce his virginity loss to him was more than a little endearing, and dare he say cute.
"that's great, man. congrats." suguru leads him into the kitchen — still shamelessly shirtless — to grab them both a can of beer in celebration. while the white-haired man usually didn't get involved with any form of alcohol, this occasion was most definitely exception-worthy. "you made y/n cum too, right?"
an offended glare is shot his way. "duh, two times."
"huh. surprised you could last."
as suguru pours their drinks into two fragile cups, gojo exhales, not bothered in the slightest by his jab. "dude, same.." he admits dreamily. "she was so fuckin' tight and warm.. and oh— fuck, her moans? heavenly.. 'can't believe i didn't bust after the first minute.."
geto gulps, trying his best to ignore the mental image his brain was producing from his dirty words. you can't blame him — both of you were smoking hot, and he was a simple man.
even now, he could already imagine what you both looked like; panting and moaning, skin-slapping so loud that it echoed through the whole room, how blissed out you'd look as gojo's cock split you in t—
satoru's playful sigh cuts through the tensing air. "who knows sugs, maybe you'll have another kind of stain to worry about next time we're over~"
he's never snapped out of a daydream so quickly. "don't even joke about that."
over the next hour, the two men sat manspread on the stained couch, taking leisure sips while recalling satoru's final moments as a virgin — suguru giving out his secret tips and tricks along the way.
maybe sometime, suguru could offer some.. hands-on learning instead.

lee haechan fic recs! part 2 ❤︎
Tumblr media
note! : used all the old fics i could find that i enjoyed
❤︎ Love at First Bite…literally!? - @huangberryyy (Wherein Haechan finally gets the chick flick moment he dreamt of. Or wherein Haechan finally understands the appeal of being bitten by bitches.)
❤︎ the bet - @tyonfs (you and lee donghyuck created a bet that stated you two would have sex if he made the winning shot. now, you’re pinned up against the lockers, about to do the one thing best friends don’t do, and you definitely shouldn’t be wanting more.)
❤︎ Babe Watch [M]  - @milfgyuu (You and Haechan both have big plans this summer. You’re going to earn yourself a spot on the infamous Baywatch team and Haechan’s deadset on getting the girl. It just so happens that both your plans intersect quite nicely.)
❤︎ [8:02pm] - @nctsworld (in which a spontaneous dance in the kitchen with donghyuck sparks a revelation about how you feel about him.)
❤︎ beware the panty perv ♡ ldh x reader - @guanana (there’s a mystery at hand! it seems like your panties have been vanishing into thin air whenever you need them most? angry that your favorite pairs of panties are going missing, you decide to put on your detective hat in hopes of finding the mysterious lingerie bandit. but between all of the guys that you sleep with— you can’t seem to pinpoint who the culprit could be. it couldn’t possibly be your absolute geek of a tutor for calculus, right? nah.)
❤︎ september 19. - @hyucks-archive
❤︎ SURE THING (L.DH) - @domjaehyun
❤︎ young gods (l.dh) - @606fm (in the midst of committing felonies in the dark, lee donghyuck—your literal partner in crime and ride or die for life—manages to snag your heart in the process without you even realizing it. i mean, what the hell did you expect from seoul city’s most notorious robber?)
❤︎ [7:43am] - @aesthyuckic
❤︎ haechan is obsessed with you. - @haechurch
❤︎ the right one. (m) - @starryhyuck (donghyuck doesn’t like you going on dates with anyone else, especially lee jeno. you’re supposed to be his. and only his.)
❤︎ meow haechan using a lot of tongue meow meow  - @ofjunemoment (or: you’re thinking of getting a tongue piercing, but you’re not sure how haechan feels)
❤︎ attention - @pinkynana (gamer boys are the easiest target for you. they barely interact with any other woman so the moment you find out haechan was a gamer boy, you promised to sit on his lap any time he wanted to.)
❤︎ free falling - @sunpopz (your friend haechan has been acting kinda weird lately.. does it have anything to do with you? maybe it does, considering he keeps looking at you like you're gonna kill him any second. well, that and he randomly liked a three month old picture of you.)
❤︎ haechan — just for you (m) - @hyuckmov (because haechan thought you were irresistible when you were clever, if only because he knew he was the only one who could make your brain go empty.)
❤︎ Started With A Kiss - @sundaysundaes (Rookie actor, Lee Haechan, desperately wants to get the lead role in the highly anticipated upcoming TV drama. He’s sure he has what it takes to fill the part. Acting as a hero? No problem. Pretending to overcome his traumatic experience? Consider it done. A bed scene? Easy—wait, no. That might be a problem. But he should be fine as long as he gets to rehearse, right?)
❤︎ if I lose my mind - @slightlymore (you’ve never cared much for your dreams. they were always confusing nonsense you forgot in the morning. this until you started to have the same dream again and again and again: a lobby, pleasant elevator music in the background, many golden doors, a handsome young man welcoming you and asking where you wanted to go that night. his name was haechan and apparently you weren’t supposed to know that, let alone fall in love with him.)
❤︎ this is the story of how we fell in love, apparently. - @navyhyuck (running a youtube channel with your best friend isn’t easy, not when he’s like a ticking time bomb that’s constantly bubbling up something new. what’s worse is that you’ve had a crush on him for the past three years.)
❤︎ face sitting - @haetkeeper
❤︎ pervert (M) - @haechannielove (you confront haechan on his disgusting and constant objectification of you.)
❤︎ Pearlescent - @d-nghy-ck (A shoreline sunset spent cozied up against Hyuck dives deep past surface level. His lips profess his heart’s intent; his eyes reflect waves dancing in iridescent glimmers; his love whispered into your skin evokes heated passion.) 
❤︎ i love it, starboy - @staargirlblog (slight yandere! idol! haechan x fangirl! reader)
❤︎ college boyfriend!haechan - @lvlyynim
❤︎ perv!haechan - @4everhyucks
❤︎ My Boy. - @prodbymaui (A series of failed relationships and you were this near of giving up on love. But then here comes little Donghyuck and his persistence. Maybe-- he was the one fated to you, after all.)

◜Dad! Jason Headcanons ◞
Tumblr media
          ┊ ᝰ﹕Characters : dad!jason todd x latino vigilant! Reader
          ┊ ᝰ﹕Summary: recently I saw a post from @super-marvel-dc here on Tumblr where she said her headcanons of Jason being a father of a big family, and it inspired me a lot! So I decided to share some of the crazy things that had been on my mind for a while about this. If you like this maybe it could become a series
(Link to the initial post by @super-marvel-dc, )
          ┊ ᝰ﹕Theme : nothing but fluffy and google translate english
Tumblr media
- You and Jason had already been married for about two years, things were stable and happy for both of you, taking into account your busy vigilante lives.
- The first child to be adopted was Naomi, who was found when she was just 3 years old abandoned in the alley of crime, and since then you and Jason have had her as your daughter
- Shortly afterwards, things got complicated with a completely unplanned and surprising pregnancy, after all, after the incident, Jason thought he could not even have biological children,and nine months later you had twins Holden and Skyler
- Shortly after two years, a little boy named Austin had been rescued by the Gotham police after a major attack caused by the Black Mask, having arrested the culprit Jason felt the responsibility of taking the boy in
-And then came the twins Savannah and Aspen, who were adopted after a Wayne gala in support of Gotham Orphanage, the big surprise for everyone was Jason and Y/n adopted two of the children instead of Bruce
- After that came Hazel, a little girl who had been purposely abandoned at the mall by her mother.
- and then we had river, a boy from a troubled family who lived in the alley of crime, and with him little darcy who was protected by river while her parents were too busy spending all their money on drugs
- And that was how the simple routine maintained by two people over five years together, in less than three years multiplied, becoming a family of eleven people
- At first things were chaotic but over time a routine was established, Fridays were reserved for friends, Saturdays for meetings and Sundays for family.
- Jason despite initially being terrified of fatherhood and literally shaking with fear, things changed in a short time, this man read every book on pregnancy, fatherhood and positive parenting he could find, he watched vlogs and tips on YouTube and Instagram from mothers and fathers on how to care for and educate their children, and I say with conviction that he has become an incredible father and making it his personal mantra to become the father he wishes he had had
- because you have children of different ethnicities, you reserved one day a week with us. traditional cuisine dinner, holidays with foods typical of each place, you made sure your children knew about their respective cultures and origins
- As a Latina by blood and raised in a Latin neighborhood in Gotham, you made sure your children learned your native language (Portuguese or Spanish, you choose lol), in addition to obviously the house being always filled with cultural music and food
- Speaking of home, in a short time you had to exchange your beautiful industrial loft in the center of Gotham for a large farm-style house that was about 40 minutes from Gotham, after all, you refused to raise your children in the chaos that was that city. by the way, don't tell bruce but you and jason had to accept many jobs in addition to surveillance and batman's rules to be able to pay for everything, but for the comfort of your children it was worth it
- Since the family grew abruptly, visits to the mansion became less frequent, but you and the children still visited at least once a month, especially when you needed a free babysitter. It is worth mentioning that for a long time they will be the butt of jokes on family holidays due to the large number of children
- You keep the life of vigilantes away from the children's reality, they don't even know about their second identities because you feel better knowing that you are keeping them away from this world, despite this you both agree that you will bring the truth to light when they are old enough
- Despite not wanting anyone anywhere near a gun or robin uniform, they all know self-defense and some type of fight or sport.
- An additional thing is that Jason sees himself on the river a lot, especially when he was younger, and that's why he always tries to be a present for him.
-Meanwhile Austin is the little version of Dick which makes Jason wish for death many times while you just laugh at the whole situation finding it hilarious, and all of this gets worse after I give Austin gymnastics lessons which results in Jason taking his son away from him. you from the roof of the house after ending up stuck in one of the tiles.

The Carbon Footprint of Amazon, Google, and Facebook Is Growing. (Sierra Club)
Excerpt from this story from Sierra Club:
IN MARCH The Information reported that Microsoft was in talks with OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, about spending an eye-popping $100 billion on a gargantuan data center in Wisconsin dedicated to running artificial intelligence software. Code-named “Stargate,” the data center would, at full operation, consume five gigawatts of electricity, enough to power 3.7 million homes. For comparison purposes, that’s roughly the same amount of power produced by Plant Vogtle, the big nuclear power station in Georgia that cost $30 billion to build.
Stargate is in the earliest of planning stages, but the sheer scale of the proposal reflects a truth about artificial intelligence: AI is an energy hog. That’s an embarrassing about-face for the technology industry. For at least 20 years, American electricity consumption has hardly grown at all—owing in part, say computer scientists, to steady advances in energy efficiency that have percolated out of the tech industry into the larger economy. In 2023, according to the US Energy Information Administration, total electricity consumption fell slightly from 2022 levels.
But according to a report published last December by Grid Strategies, a consultancy that advises on energy policy, multiple electric utilities now predict that US energy demand will rise by up to 5 percent over the next five years. One of the chief culprits responsible for the surge, say the utilities, are new data centers designed to run AI. To meet the growing demand for power, those utilities want to build new fossil fuel power plants and to dismantle climate legislation that stands in their way.
For environmentalists, this represents a giant step backward. Artificial intelligence was supposed to help us solve problems. What good are ChatGPT and its ilk if using them worsens global warming?
This is a relatively new story—the AI gold rush is still in its infancy, ChatGPT only having debuted in fall 2022. But computing’s energy demands have been growing for decades, ever since the internet became an indispensable part of daily life. Every Zoom call, Netflix binge, Google search, YouTube video, and TikTok dance is processed in a windowless, warehouse-like building filled with thousands of pieces of computer hardware. These data centers are where the internet happens, the physical manifestation of the so-called cloud—perhaps as far away from ethereality as you can get.
In the popular mind, the cloud is often thought of in the simple sense of storage. This is where we back up our photos, our videos, our Google Docs. But that’s just a small slice of it: For the past 20 years, computation itself has increasingly been outsourced to data centers. Corporations, governments, research institutions, and others have discovered that it is cheaper and more efficient to rent computing services from Big Tech.
The crucial point, writes anthropologist Steven Gonzalez Monserrate in his case study The Cloud Is Material: On the Environmental Impacts of Computation and Data Storage, is that “heat is the waste product of computation.” Data centers consume so much energy because computer chips produce large amounts of heat. Roughly 40 percent of a data center’s electricity bill is the result of just keeping things cool. And the new generation of AI software is far more processor intensive and power hungry than just about anything—with the notable exception of cryptocurrency—that has come before.
The energy cost of AI and its perverse, climate-unfriendly incentives for electric utilities are a gut check for a tech industry that likes to think of itself as changing the world for the better. Michelle Solomon, an analyst at the nonprofit think tank Energy Innovation, calls the AI power crunch “a litmus test” for a society threatened by climate change.

Takeaways from the 2024 election that Dems should learn based on actually collating the issues people here and throughout the country say impacted them, and also basic understanding of the current media landscape:
1) republicans vote Republican. You will never pick up more Republican defectors than you will lose of your own base trying.
2) “it’s the economy, stupid.” I am not saying don’t help marginalized people, nor run right on any issues thaf affect BIPOC, trans rights, or women’s bodily autonomy. Maintain progressive positions on all of those issues - but the front and center of your campaign should be economic populism against corporate giants that make Americans go hungry and take their homes.
This election, as much as pundits want to pretend it was lost on “woke” was lost foremost on Americans being given a false dichotomy between groceries, gas and housing or basic decency, and picking survival. That economic survival was and always is a false promise from the right is part of the next point.
People are angry and the support of the Adjustor shows as much. The Dems need to start tapping into that anger - Americans are hurting, they want someone to blame, and unlike the right, the left can actually point them to the real culprits: the corporate overlords who own our politics.
3) the shift in Gen Z has been sworn to be the “end of the democrats future” (odd thaf when the young voted left for years the media never reported the republicans as a dying party) but when you break the numbers down, it’s the lower edge of Gen Z and first time voters specifically where republicans actually gained an edge.
This isn’t actually as grim as it need look. What happened is that the right has over a hundred dedicated content mill channels where young people are - YouTube and TikTok. The left really doesn’t. And the ones we do have are frankly, dogshit. They’re vicious, circular firing squad morons who go after each other constantly OR they’re people with no comprehension of their own ideology who run on vibes - and the vibes are “listen to me ramble condescendingly about a fandom.”
This isn’t to say that the left has no good video essayists - it does, but the person you thought of as a counterpoint to my previous argument uploads at most once every couple months. I don’t even know who you thought of, but the left wing video essays are all the same: solid research, interesting personalities you vibe with or don’t (fine on its own) but they all only update rarely.
The right wing mills crank out content every day. Multiple times a day.
And what’s more it’s not all video essays. Or political stuff. Where’s a left wing pewdiepie? Like just some left wing dude who streams games and is funny but in a way that isn’t all offensive edgelord shit? Or whose edgelord gags actually have a point?
When the right wants to radicalize young people, they’ve got a whole media ecosystem to do it.
When the left wants to - we don’t. And part of that is that every time a left wing Internet personality gets big enough, others tear them down, but part of it is that there just aren’t enough of us making content.

I’m just going say it although the book of death/Shinigami’s powers is cool also the big idea of the gameplay;in a way is kinda useless mostly on the fact the culprit dies,i mean HOW ARE YOU GONNA GET A CLEAR TRUTH WITHOUT A CLEAR CONFESSION!!!,also it just made it worse now that there now a person mysteriously dies out of nowhere,but they managed to put it in storyline sooooooo
Yeah something to think about
I think maybe it has to do with since Shinigami is the God of Death, her power is going to have a connection over on death. But you bring up a good point that it isn’t exactly useful considering it makes exposing the criminals harder.
Until I remember in Chapter 0 after the first Mystery Labyrinth from a YouTube gameplay I watched, where Shinigami comments how Yuma is now free since the culprit is dead, which the YouTuber comments that wasn’t going to work because Zilch was meant to be dead from the start and they only ended up reaffirming that narrative the Peacekeepers were painting to begin with. And I was thinking to myself, ‘didn’t they already figured out that the Peacekeepers were in on the plan in the Mystery Labyrinth? So why did she think the Peacekeepers would let him go if they were planning to frame him anyway?’ And that led me to think really hard about this.
We know Shinigami has the flaws of lacking empathy and not understanding humans at times, since she is an immortal god. I think in her mind, since the culprit is gone, there would be no reason for the Peacekeepers to keep framing him. Plus, again thinking into Shinigami’s mind, I think she believed since the culprit was a murderer would mean they would probably kill more people in the future, so the real goal was to stop a growing threat from claiming more victims like before.
And the killing thing? I think it’s a way to deal the justice in the holder’s own hands, to off the culprits so they don’t keep harming people from the mysteries they made, or claiming anymore victims from their deeds. In Chapter 1, one of the culprit was a serial killer, who would have gone off to kill more people. And the other culprit could have technically become a serial killer himself since he admired the Nail Man so much. Plus, an innocent man was going to get framed and executed for the Nail Man’s crimes to keep up appearances, and seeing how the Priest was going along with the lie, basically implied he was okay letting an actual, innocent man die in his place. Then in Chapter 2, Kurumi gets framed for the crime, and since execution seems to be a thing, she could have been executed herself, all so the Peacekeepers can keep their lies and appearance in place.
Plus, we have seen that the Peacekeepers don’t necessarily care about justice unless it serves them (or the higher-ups like Yomi in this case). They are willing to cover up the mysteries to convenient themselves and get what they want. And considering they are the police force, therefore the handlers of justice in Kanai Ward, they are the only ones in power that can lock away the criminals in hand and bring justice. But because they are so corrupt and self-indulgent, they are more willing to let criminals go or turn a blind eye or fail to solve the case thoroughly. So the Book of Death is the only way to ensure not only are the criminals are properly dealt with, but also cut away the Mystery Labyrinths as well. Since Shinigami has noted that if the Mystery Labyrinth grew and remain, they would influence other people into becoming murderers or criminals that would create more Mystery Labyrinths as well. As it was theorized by Yakool-Foolio that Kanai Ward’s Ultimate Secret’s own Mystery Labyrinth is what most likely led to the city becoming more crime-filled and creating their own Mystery Labyrinths as well.
It’s also important to note that there are other corrupt officials out in the world like the Unified Government who wants to keep their own secrets hidden away to keep up appearances. So it wouldn’t be far-fetched if there were other corrupt forces like the Unified Government and the Peacekeepers who would keep things secrets for their own benefits. Plus, we learned in chapter five that Number One of the World Detective Organization that he is actually in charge of issuing criminals to be sent to the death penalties, as noted here by Shiut, so I think executions and death penalties are uncommon in the Master Detective Archives world. So it wouldn’t be such a big deal for criminals to just die, even if it is inhumane and cruel.
In conclusion, I think the Book of Death is really a tool used in order to bring about the end of the criminals that threatens peace for everybody and could potentially hurt people (people getting framed, the killers killing future victims, exploiting people, etc). Since there is the chance of corrupt police forces not willing to indulge justice as they should and will let the mysteries remain and therefore the criminals free, the Book of Death is a mean to make sure the criminals and mysteries are gone. It’s a morally grey story where it may not be morally right, but it is not morally wrong either with the circumstances at hand. I think that’s what the Book of Death’s intention are, and why Shinigami thinks the way she thinks.

WARNING! Please be aware! LSuperSonicQ is not a real Youtuber.
Tumblr media
They are an agent for hire, that corporations use, to confuse the masses with misinformation, so that those companies can change the narrative about things that the internet has found out about.
Now I have heard for years about spies lying among the YouTube content creator community, but I have never once found any rumours that turned out to be true.
It usually falls under one of the following.
a genuine content creator that gets paid by big businesses to promote their nonsense for example PewdiePie before he kinda ruined his chances with the T-series controversy.
A genuinely well-intentioned creator that has been fed lies and misinformation and has come to believe it for example the flat Earth community.
A troll trying to gain popularity by saying anything and everything contrary to the popular narrative just to get views on their videos for example Billy West's fact channels. (yes, that is in fact THE Billy West, the voice actor from the animated TV show Futurama, yes, actually legit, look it up, yeah i know you thought it sounded familiar)
A content creator that needs funding for extreme stunts that others can't copy so lies about certain details on just some of their stunt videos just ensure their longevity for example The MythBusters.
A content creator that was set up using an elaborate scheme so they were unaware of how much of their information that had been fed to them by researchers was actually misleading for example MatPat and Team Theorist.
but in none of these situations has the culprit been fully aware, stands to get financial gain, actively works fully for these corporations, and is 100% on board for spreading all this misinformation just so that they can grab a fat paycheck.
LSuperSonicQ is THE FIRST that i have EVER heard about from any source that wasn't complete nonsense and... there is plenty of evidence to prove it just laying around.
In fact the sheer amount of evidence is so overwhelming in fact it makes me wonder why even bother with the ruse at all.
You see literally any facts the guy says you can just look up in a search engine for like 15 seconds tops and have an entire wealth of info and evidence as well that completely proves them wrong.
So how about some examples on that.
LSSQ says that there's no evidence to show that SegaSonic the Hedgehog the game was ever a real release by Sega and not a fan creation made to run on the original hardware that was in fact created much later.
No evidence huh?
How about a video recording of a person visiting an arcade from back in the day that no longer exists where the game is right there on display and we can see the individual actively playing it.
Moreover in said video said individual is a considerably younger looking version of the very person who uploaded the footage along with a friend of theirs who passed away just about a year or two after said footage was actually taken and yes the facts about the dead friend are real we didn't just take their word on that.
It gets even harder to disprove the footage when about 2 dozen people seen in the background were all found using face tracking online and asked about the arcade itself and every single one of them confirmed that the arcade did exist like it's seen in the footage and that they too had seen the same game cabinet there.
Getting a little shaky with that 'no evidence' line eh?
Oh and the game was featured in many many magazines, was seen on live broadcasted TV footage, several real copies of the arcade machine have been found, which are in full working order by the way, and someone uploaded the ROM from the machine, so you can play the game itself using an emulator, and just to top it all off, said emulator has to be a certain kind that only plays original data and therefore cannot play anything that wasn't made by Sega themselves or at least didn't have the approval of the current Sega CEO.
We literally have yet to invent technology that could even fake any of this convincingly.
-but sure LSSQ, go off about it being fake. I'm sure Sega paid you a pretty penny to sweep the tracks of their old business.
Not like Sega is going through a process RIGHT NOW where they are trying to deny the existence of all their old games and stuff or try to peddle new version of their retro games and are actively destroying valuable antique merchandise from the days of Sonic the Hedgehog's origins so they can change the narrative about their past.
Not like Sega has anything to financially gain from selling remakes of their retro games rather than allowing the original cartridges to circulate.
Not after all their new games bombed, they released Sonic Origins and people called them out on their changes.
And that Sega was going hard on trying to find people who could post YouTube videos full of their lies LITERALLY just a couple of weeks before you published your video.
Oh and by the way, you CAN of course look all of this up online.
It'll only take you about 20 minutes.

I just talked about this with a friend of mine a while back, and I'm just going to verbatim copy-paste what I said there, here, typos and all:
think about it, it's 2016, vine is the "short media" platform, and it's mainly used to just... have fun. Seven seconds isn't long enough to do anything super meaningful or be super cringe, and the few "stars" vine has are still mainly just doing silly stupid fun shit Vine dies, tik tok takes the stage about three (?) Years later. No more 7 second limit, so you get more cringe, more misinformation, more call outs and bad faith takes, and every other social media platform looks at this mess and goes, "we're gonna make our video content like that too :)" Instagram, Twitter (for a short while), YouTube, even Tumblr all jump on this shitty bus, and creators who used to thrive in long form content are now dedicating more than half of their effort into these dumb short videos, and longer, more informed, high quality, well thought out videos suffer, begin to die out Vine probably has some problems too, but seven seconds isn't a long time to do substantial damage. Tik tok has fundamentally changed online video , social media, and information culture for the worse, even damaging society's attention span as a whole, and I fucking hate it. And that's my "old man yells at cloud" moment of the day, but I genuinely believe everything I just said is true.
And when my friend said that society is becoming more "go, go, go":
tik tok is a big part of why that's progressed the way it has I know there are other factors at play but when I think of the main culprit, I think of tik tok the thing is, movie lengths haven't changed. tv shows and cartoon lengths haven't changed. Hell, episodes of shows on streaming platforms are longer than if they aired on tv. books still take more than a day to get through, food is still prepped at about the same pace even if you order from uber eats or whatever, even with Amazon's fast shipping you're still waiting approx 2 or three days-- the only thing I can think of that really changed, is online video lengths you could maybe point at internet speed being involved too, but internet speeds have been pretty good since like, the 2010s at the latest afaik And yeah, long form videos still exist (i'm watching a video essay rn) but the social platforms themselves are trying really hard to push the shorter videos instead
one of the beauties of vine was that six seconds was simply not enough time to even attempt to be informational. you could always be confident that even if a vine wasnt very funny, at least nobody was ever gonna try and "learn you a thing" about the most current political situation or fandom shit

Today's compilation:
The Best of Chess Checker Cadet Soul 1984 Soul / R&B / Soul-Jazz
Folks, you'd think by now that people would've done more than enough appreciating of a hugely important and successful label like Chicago's Chess Records, but it's simply not true. Chess may have themselves been a blues juggernaut, and they may have also played a deeply integral role in the early development of rock & roll with fixtures like Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley too, but the vast majority of their soul wing flew very under the radar, outside of Fontella Bass' terrific classic, "Rescue Me," a song that people time and time again have mistaken for being an Aretha Franklin tune anyway, so much so, that in 1992, it was actually repurposed as "Deliver Me" for a very goofy Pizza Hut ad that starred none other than Aretha herself 😵‍💫.
youtube
(Tell me you wouldn't want one of those Jeeps, though 👀.)
Now, I'm not entirely sure why Chess' soul output didn't end up garnering the reputation that it deserved, but I'm willing to posit that an already crowded field that was largely dominated by the likes of Motown, Stax/Volt, and Atlantic was the main culprit. Truth be told, there was *a lot* of soul music being made all throughout the 60s, and it really wasn't possible to accommodate it all with proper radio rotation and promotion, which is how we eventually ended up with the term 'soul gem' in our music collecting lexicon, in order to recognize brilliant tunes from the genre's past that had unfortunately and unjustifiably gone mostly unnoticed.
And you don't need to burrow very deep into this album at all in order to understand the level of quality soul music that Chess and its Checker and Cadet subsidiaries were capable of making, because the first couple tunes on this thing are absolute sticks of dynamite, both of which were made possible by one of the label's own versatile producers, Billy Davis. Here, we get the instant one-two punch of Billy Stewart's powerful top-ten Billboard hit cover of the Porgy & Bess jazz standard, "Summertime," which sees Stewart effervescently doing some highly impressive scatting with a backing band that packs a big sound; and that's then followed by The Radiants' "Hold On," but the version here is not the one that would only get to #68 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1968. Instead, it's an incredible, underheard outtake that seems to be superior, but only currently has 34 plays on YouTube! Why Chess originally chose to not go with this version of the song is a little puzzling to me, but at least it's on this album here. An uptempo and dancy bop with orchestral strings, electric guitar lashes, and sweet group harmonies that back the scratch-passionate lead of Mitchell Bullock. What a late 60s soul gem 🤩.
And to get back to Fontella Bass for a quick sec, it's actually a bit bittersweet for her to appear on this album three separate times, because after "Rescue Me" got to #4 on the Hot 100 in 1965, she was effectively blacklisted by the industry for demanding fair pay for her work. See, not only had she sung "Rescue Me," but she had also co-written it too, and she had to fight tooth and nail to finally get the writing credit for it—a record that'd been Chess' first million-seller in around a decade since Chuck Berry. Bass' royalty check without that writing credit was a relative pittance, and by the time this issue had been resolved, the potential for her to mount a long and successful career had passed her by 😔. So while a defining golden oldie like "Rescue Me" is certainly obligatory on a Chess soul retrospective like this, seeing anything more from Bass here comes as something of a surprise, because you'd think that the label wouldn't want to pay her any more mind than they absolutely had to 🤷‍♂️.
Anyway, a lot of people seem to have never realized it, but in addition to their massive contributions to both blues and rock & roll, Chess' soul division spent the better part of the 60s pumping out some great music too. And this 1984 LP here, while still curiously missing *some* pretty big hits—where's Etta James' "Tell Mama"?— undoubtedly proves it 👍.
Highlights:
Billy Stewart - "Summertime" Radiants - "Hold On" Fontella Bass - "Recovery" Mitty Collier - "I Had a Talk With My Man" Fontella Bass - "Rescue Me" Radiants - "Voice Your Choice" Jackie Ross - "Selfish One" Dells - "Wear It On Your Face"

Identifying Fibrin as a Culprit Driver for Acute and Long Covid
Eric Topol
Oct 19, 2024
Superimposed on an impressive body of work on the blood-brain-barrier and immune system, Prof Akassoglou and her collaborators just published an elegant study in Nature that centered on the direct binding os the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to fibrin with marked downstream pro-inflammatory effects. The findings and potential treatments have implications beyond Covid, Long Covid to other neurologic diseases.
Full videos of all Ground Truths podcasts can be seen on YouTube here. The audios are also available on Apple and Spotify.
Share Ground Truths
Transcript with links to audio and to relevant papers, graphics
Eric Topol (00:07):
Well, hello this is Eric Topol with Ground Truths, and with me today is Katerina Akassoglou. She is at the Gladstone Institute and she is a remarkable neuroimmunologist who has been doing extraordinary work for three decades to unravel the interactions between the brain, blood vessels and the role of inflammation. So Katerina, there's a lot to discuss, so welcome.
Katerina Akassoglou (00:40):
Thank you. Thank you so much. It's a great pleasure to join.
By Way of Background
Eric Topol (00:43):
It's really interesting going back in your career. First of all, we're thankful that you immigrated here from Greece, and you have become one of the leading scientists in this discipline of important discipline of neuroimmunology, which is not just about Covid that we're going to talk about, but Alzheimer's and neurodegenerative diseases. This is a really big hot area and you're definitely one of the leaders. And what I was impressed is that all these years that you've been working on the integrity of the blood-brain barrier, the importance of fibrinogen and fibrin, and then comes along the Covid story. So maybe what we can do is start with that, which is you've made your mark in understanding this whole interaction between what can get into the brain, through the blood-brain barrier and incite inflammation. So this has been something that you've really taken to the extreme knowledge base. So maybe we can start with your work there before we get into the important seminal Nature paper that you recently published.

Anthony's Stupid Daily Blog (654): Sun 31st Dec 2023
Final day of the year and I’m so knackered that I hope it’s also turns out to be the final day of humanity. In addition to pushing us to the limit by having us do an extra day a week and an extra hour a day they’ve also had us in in days where there is fuck all work to do including Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve. It was so fucking pointless and eventually work agreed with me because they told us we could fuck off at three o’clock. This place is far from perfect but I can’t slag them off too much (even though I have specifically with regards to their refusal to let us listen to music which is completely redacted) because this was the year that they finally realised what a genius and an asset I am to them and made me permanent at last. I stayed off the internet all day so I wouldn’t have the results for World’s End spoiled for me. As soon as I got in I stuck it on and fast forwarded to the main event in order to see who was the Devil and while Adam Cole being the culprit has a few issues (such as why the Hell he waited this long to turn on him when he had innumerable opportunities to do it before now) but I suppose for dramatic purposes it is the best logical creative decision. My only issue is that if they knew Wardlow was going to be in cahoots with Cold a part of this storyline then why didn’t they just have him be the one to beat MJF for the title. It would have been the perfect way to solidify him as a main event and if he bombed as champion they they could just put the belt right back on MJF or put it on Cole instead. Man was looking after Luna tonight and while we were watching some awful Channel 5 show about the top karaoke songs Luna became transfixed by The Macarena and wanted me to teach her how to do it. I can’t do the full thing so I just taught her the basic one but even that seemed pointless because the only bit of the dance she likes is the end but where the dancer shakes their arse around as the singer sings “Heeeey Macarena”. Myself Mam and Luna watched the countdown together but because our internet connection is shit I’m the live feed was fucked so we were doing the countdown to 2024 about twenty seconds into 2024. 2023 was a pretty good year for me as I finally went to WrestleMania, travelled through California, saw the LA Lakers play and got made permanent at work. I’m sure there were more highlights but those were the main ones that made all the lowlights feel worth it. My two main goals for 2024 will be to get into shape at last and to finally finish this fucking Edgar challenge. In terms of big adventures I want to go to Hawaii. It we’ll have to see what my holiday allowance is like after me and the family go to Greece in August. I want to do little things like read more and watch more movies and specifically I want to watch LESS YouTube and spend less time on the internet in general. I want to do stand up at some point, whether that’s as part of the King Gong show or just a random open mic show I find near to me. Also I want to go wing walking and speed dating as those would be fun to write about for this blog. Finally I’d like to start jiu jitsu again but I’ll have to wait and see how these new exercises help my neck. Well so long 2023, I had fun. Let’s do it again some time

Being a Danganronpa fan these past two years *CONTAINS SPOILERS*
Welp, it’s been two years since I first learned about Danganronpa. I gotta say, I miss the experience I had when I first learned about it. One day, I was browsing the Nintendo eShop when I noticed the switch ports of the Danganronpa trilogy along with Danganronpa S. I’ll admit it, the fan service theme for DRS is what caught my eye, but then I realized, I know someone on Youtube with a playthrough of Danganronpa V3.
As soon as I watched the first chapter in a single day, I didn’t think that despite the fan service theme from Danganronpa S, that Danganronpa was a horror anime. The big twist that Kaede was labeled as the first blackened was just so horrific to watch. It was like midnight when I saw the start of the first class trial, and it was like past 2 AM when I got to watch Kaede get executed (Yes, I’m an insomniac). I was excited the next day because curiosity got the best of me and I wanted to know who was gonna die next. The sad part about it was that Kirumi, who was starting to become my favorite character in the game, would be the next culprit.
But what I really loved about Danganronpa was its gameplay for the class trials. I thought that with puzzle gameplay like that, Danganronpa just stood out from other anime games, because the majority of those kinds of games are Japanese RPGs and unfortunately, I don’t like the RPG genre. Not only that, but the fact that Danganronpa is rated M for its violence and fan service was another thing that got me thinking that I want to play this game. Most anime games are usually rated T, but Danganronpa being rated M seemed more interesting to me.
Anyway, I didn’t try out Danganronpa S until January 2022. At first, I was only into the board game gameplay and was worried I would be bad at the battles because I don’t enjoy playing turn-based RPGs. I eventually got the hang of it, and boy was I lucky enough to beat Monokuma at the end. God, that was a pain in the ass, and if I ever decide to start a new game, I’d probably get my ass kicked. Even so, playing the board game was more fun, and it gave me the nostalgic feeling of wanting to play the Mario Party games I have on my GameCube. Sadly, my GameCube doesn’t work as well as it used to, but thankfully I got Mario Party Superstars which has classic Mario Party gameplay.
But despite enjoying Danganronpa S, at the time, I was scared to play the killing games. I was in complete denial with things like Kirumi’s motive video, and the way NDRV3 ended. I didn’t want to believe that everyone who died really died. I want them to come back to life. It’s too bad there’s no sequel, because I’m one of those fans who’s desperate to know what really happened to everyone who died. At the time, I was only interested in the non-despair AU where the killing games don’t happen. Even if it’s not canon, it’s better than seeing my favorite characters get killed off. I didn’t get the nerve to try the trilogy until around August 2022. I laughed, I cried, there were times where certain characters annoyed me, but I’m glad that I got the opportunity to play the trilogy, and every time I replay them, I only play the bonus modes where the killing games don’t happen. Why? Because it’s better than seeing everyone die, and also because I like dating my favorite waifus in the games.
When I decided to start this blog last year, I was concerned about Danganronpa Headcanons for not posting anything new. I had hoped that they could share the things about this series I wanted to express, but they couldn’t. Looking back at it, I feel like I shouldn’t have shared this blog using the same method they did and now I just don’t know if what I did was alright. For these past two years of being a Danganronpa fan, I tried out this blog, I wrote fanfics on AO3, and most recently, I’ve been going to Tiktok for Danganronpa content and have been chatting with Danganronpa AIs from character.ai.
I won’t get into too much detail about my AO3 since it’s mostly NSFW, but one reason why I wanted to do a rewrite of NDRV3 was because I didn’t like how the game officially ended. At this point, I don’t have the motivation to finish it even though it’s halfway done. Right now, it’s just hard to motivate myself, but I really want to finish it.
Let me just say it does bother me when people say Danganronpa is dead. I love this series for its characters, story, gameplay and fan service. I felt something for the deaths of my favorite characters. If I let go of them, people will think they all died for nothing. I can’t let go of this series. I mean, yes, the fandom has its issues, but I look past that and just focus on what I love about this series. Even if Danganronpa doesn’t get a new installment, it wouldn’t hurt if they made another non-despair spinoff. I don’t even care what the genre will be, I just want to see everyone who died live again.
But I will admit that even though the creators made a new game called Rain Code, I only saw the first half of a playthrough. I stopped because there was a part that involved cross-dressing males and I was thinking, “What, this again?” Even though I like Chihiro, I’m kinda fed up from seeing anime games with cross-dressing males, because there’s a chance that people are gonna make a huge deal out of it in their fandoms. Moreover, I was concerned that Rain Code would also involve things like making fun of someone just because they act like the emo stereotype which felt kinda racist to me, not to mention that I thought the protagonist was kind of a pussy. I don’t think I’m ever gonna get the chance to play Rain Code, even if the Danganronpa creators focus on it more.
I apologize for how long this is, but the point is, even though it’s been two years since I got into Danganronpa, I just don’t know anything anymore. Should I really be making blogs like how Danganronpa Headcanons did it? Should I finish my fanfics? Should I make Danganronpa Tiktoks of my own? I love this series and I don’t want to let go of it, even if I have to deal with things like its toxic fanbase, seeing my favorite characters die, or hearing someone say Danganronpa is dead because Shuichi killed the series (lol). I’ll say it again that I love this series for its characters, story, gameplay and fan service, and I don’t think any other anime game could compare to this one.

Jake Missing Dog
Masterlist
Previous Part / Next Part
Tumblr media
Now you all wondering why is Enhypen is involved in this somehow. It all happened a 3 weeks ago before Kai plush incident. It all happened during the midst choas of Yeonjun rage, when Sunoo made his little Kai cry. Everyone was busy trying to hide and escape from him. That no one has noticed that someone else was in the house and took the Jake dog without them knowing.
However Heesung think otherwise, he realised that Jake has been sad for a very long time. He asked Jake what happend. Jake said he lost his dogs for three weeks now and he has been searching for his dog non stop. Immediately Heesung knew who is the culprit and decided to question Sunoo.
Was the two people an illusion? So Sunoo doesn’t get into trouble. Or is it really their unexpected visitor…
Back at Enhypen Main Chat
Today 21:00
Heesung🦌: JAY! JAY!
Jay😎: What- Can’t you see I am busy?
Heesung🦌: YOUR KIDS MADE JAKE CRY
Heesung🦌: Your kids stole his Lyla
Sunoo☀️: Jake has girlfriend since when?
Heesung🦌: It’s not human, more like a dog!
Sunoo☀️: OH- I did not touch that fur ball. I don’t do dogs

Israel has admitted to their war crimes, and the US is no less guilty. Entrapping Gazans and then bombing them nonstop. Occupying fucking hospitals and killing the people inside. Claiming that until Hamas surrenders, civilians of all ages will have to just deal with being slaughtered all day and night. That's collective punishment, which is a war crime, when they're killing civilians and wiping out entire communities until a specific group of people complies with their demands. They're poisoning and limiting and destroying water and food supplies (including the ocean so they can't even fish), turning homes and any other structures including fucking schools and hospitals where families take refuge into dust and rubble that become tombs for entire bloodlines. And every time it's "Hamas did it" as if they would gain anything. That would be counterproductive to them. Why the fuck would they bomb their own hospitals, homes, buildings, schools, places of worship, or entire families from their homeland? Israel was already doing this shit, the difference is that now the world is watching. That's some lobotomized mental gymnastics you're doing there
It's not even hard to find proof of what's happening. It's all over Tumblr, it's on Twitter, Instagram, Youtube- Marc Lamont Hill has interviewed a lot of important figures relevant to this matter and given great commentary on the issue (I'd start here, I promise it's worth your time). So if somehow you haven't seen the carnage and what's going on and children recounting horrors that no one let alone children should live through, educate yourself. Just scroll through something like @.eye.on.palestine on Instagram and Twitter, 5 or 10 minutes of your time. You can see Israeli soldiers in uniform doing this shit. People crying out to their dead loved ones, children rescued under rubble, children crying in pain, innocents disfigured by the attacks, mothers mourning, some crying out and covered in the blood of their children, premature infants in agony alone because they're dying while the few surviving ones are displaced, decaying bodies piled on the ground, sometimes in hospitals because they were surrounded and unallowed to leave, children losing friends, people breaking down trying not to cry while trying to comfort children- babies, sometimes not even their own because they've been orphaned. Children who are sole survivors of attacks are crying for their dead loved ones. Even pets terrified, injured, crying, and treading over rubble, desperately trying to find their owners and families, and vise versa.
Not one person is kneeling over their loved one's corpses saying Hamas did this, No one who's recording themselves trying to tell the world who's killing them and pleading to be heard is saying "Please tell Hamas to stop killing us" when if they were truly the culprit, there's no reason to protect Hamas or omit this information if they're the ones slaughtering their friends and family by the thousands. Listen to them, what they're saying happened to them and their families, who they saw/know is doing it, because they have no reason to lie or cover for anyone when they're standing over the ashes of the homes where they loved and lost their families. It's the kind of shit you can't fake, not with the best actors (esp children & fucking babies) and editing technology in the world. Why in the absolute hell would people who lost their entire families disrespect them like that, purposely hindering justice and concealing the truth?
I don't care if any Big Bad Scary group is hiding under any hospitals- which Israel admitted to building tunnels themselves and falsified their "proof" that Hamas was there, or schools (yknow the schools who ended the school year because the students were fucking murdered by Israel) or in ambulances- yet another war crime (all unproven or even debunked accusations). The largest hospital in the north of Gaza was attacked by the occupation forces- not by Hamas. Civilians aren't collateral damage, and their legacy shouldn't be some stupid fucking memes framing their killers as innocent and mocking them. That's nothing short of evil. No less evil than Jews drawn with beaks for noses
Israel is identifying and labeling any press members as terrorists and "Hamas' propaganda team" and targeting them too- also a war crime. Another war crime- using weapons that are banned in warfare. Also shutting down power and internet conveniently before the worst attacks occur, targeting any home or building with a solar panel. People have to write their names on their and their children's (sometimes living) bodies so they can be identified. You can only see so many images and footage of the aftermath of massacres, people with half their faces blown off, children asking why they can't see and what's happening because the attacks permanently blinded them, and soldiers brutalizing them like animals and piles and piles of dead bodies and people gunned down in the streets while onlookers panic and pray and children begging for a permanent ceasefire and screaming and crying with their bodies covered in burns and open wounds or pleading for their lives under the remains of their homes amongst their mangled loved ones taking their last breaths, a little boy in hysterics because he saw his friend's fucking head blown off, a girl sobbing because she saw her own friend decapitated as well, before you wonder how anyone could think Israel is on the right side of history and this is anything but a genocide. One that was ongoing long, long before October 7th and decades before Hamas existed. You have to be stupid, ignorant, evil, or all of the above to think these people deserve this, it's self defense, or this is a 'complicated matter where everyone's a little at fault'.
You truly think this is Israel defending itself? That not supporting the genocide of Gazans is anti semitic? You are aware that Israel, Judaism, and Jewish people are different things... right? There are many Jews that stand in solidarity with Palestine because they're seeing history repeat itself before their eyes. Yes some people who are already anti semitic are using this as ammunition to say they're right in their views but they're also wrong- because as both sides must be aware, Israel doesn't represent Jewish people, Israel represents Israel.
I see you using the "Israel warned them!" defense as well. It's kind of like me giving you a head start before I start firing a gun at you. But regardless, they have blocked Gazans from leaving as the "safe routes" are traps where people are also slaughtered. Doctors and surgeons and patients cannot just drop everything and leave the hospitals where notably there are no big scary Hamas soldiers in sight despite so much footage of these hospitals. Just the dead, the dying, and those who have tried tirelessly to keep their people alive or comfort them while they die. Please, please educate yourself. Not just "read the news". According to recent documented casualties, an estimated 15,000 Gazans have been murdered, around 6,000 being children. This is not counting those with unknown whereabouts, likely dead and dying painfully- possibly over a period of days under rubble, alone.
Imagine if this were your country, your family, your home, and while your people died all around you people called you a terrorist and said it was a complicated issue. You can't even contact your family and they don't know if you're alive. You don't know if they're alive. The sky is often either an eerie red or a haunting gray, and the air around is described to smell like a combination of rotting bodies and smoke. You're told that you are not allowed to celebrate occasions like birthdays just giving kids a couple of cupcakes to see them smile possibly for the last time. You're finally allowed to eat a little hummus if you can get your hands on it but it can only be plain, "extras" are banned. This is fucking self defense???
tldr; op go ki- fuck yourself because you're spreading the type of misinformation that allows this genocide to continue. Thousands are dead and the meme wouldn't even be funny if it were true
And if you're still in support of Israel shut the fuck up until you've clicked every single one of those links.
