Almost 20 European leaders, incl Emmanuel Marcon & Friedrich Merz, plus VDL, have posted in support of @ZelenskyyUa after White House showdown. Notably, Keir Starmer has not. No 10 is referring reporters to PM’s comments this week on a just & lasting peace, with Ukraine at heart of talks.

He is not just appeasing Putin, he is aligned with him. And every single client journalist, political shill & public/online cheerleader on both sides of the Atlantic is too. Against Zelensky. Against Ukraine. Against freedom. Against the most basic tenets of decency.

good fucking god

Slava Ukraini. 💙💛Zelensky. Go fuck yourself Trumpy.

"America First" is a slogan that is - and long has been - a codeword for "nazi shit" so yea

I don't think America can return to *exactly* where it was (our position was too path-dependent from WWII to fully recovery), but the idea that America is doomed to be a despotic minor power is obviously wrong

*holds the baby*

Majin Kuu being the stand out character of Dragon Ball Daima was not something I was expecting when I first saw his design, but I'm not going to complain. Good for him and how things ended for him in the last episode

So on the whole I think I liked Daima well enough, but it does have some problems and things that made me scratch my head. On the whole I'd say it's technically the best Dragon Ball series we've had post Z, since it has less major flaws than GT and Super and the most consistently great animation-

... Eh, not that funny, now I'm just very confused on how the heck this is all going to fit together. Are they planning to do one more story in the gap between Daima and Super? Because episode 20 did feel a bit more like a season finale than anything.

So I'm gonna guess the reason we don't see Super Saiyan 4 in Super is that Goku just hadn't gotten around to learning how to use that transformation himself by the time Beerus showed up and then never bothered after learning to go Super Saiyan Blue. At least that's the most sense I can make of the-

Soooo... could Goku Black have gone Super Saiyan 4 then? Would he have had pink fur?

While everyone is here, it's Free Palestine, all the time. It's Free Sudan, Congo, Hawai'i, Boriken, and all other colonies and oppressed peoples, all the damn time.

Kanto pandering is dead IT'S JOHTO'S TURN!

Tate left the US (and UK) because he thought it would be easier to get away with (multiple) crimes somewhere else. Pretty compelling evidence that the US federal government is now an anti-American criminal enterprise.

I'm not even mad that 2 starters in Legends ZA are from the same reason. I'm a Johto stan, and Totodile and Chikorita are my favourites of that trio, so them both being starters is a win-win for me personally. Also if they both get megas I'm going to be so happy.

see you in Lumiose City 🌿🔥💧 #pokemon #PokemonDay

The very best story content in XY is an entirely missable postgame story where you team up with Looker and an orphan he brings in to solve mysteries in a little detective bureau. The fact that we have confirmation this story will be followed up on in ZA is making me crazy

It's only dystopia when it happens to white people. "But for the rest of us, it was Tuesday."

I honestly don’t know why they frame it as if these companies are reluctantly giving up DEI- these companies are disinvesting in DEI because they don’t think the courts or the political system will punish them for discrimination anymore. DEI existed for most as a lawsuit barrier.

Do hate that I'm not going to get the chance to experience the direct at the same time as everyone else. Hope you all don't have too much fun without me. Or burn the whole internet down before I get back if they announce something that annoys you guys.

The Japanese version being less subtle about them

... Jesus Christ I don't know why I'm always so late to realize things like this, but the Pokemon franchise turns 30 years old a year from now. I really can't wait to see how they celebrate it

I feel like I'm a weird outlier in the Dragon Ball fandom in that I couldn't care less if the Moro arc is ever animated and I'm much more interested in seeing a new Super movie or arc with an original story.

The dramatic page with Yotsuba wondering if Osaka is friend or foe is going immediately platinum on Japanese SNS. Never seen a memetic page so prepared to be enshrined in the hall of fame upon inception. Azuma still has the juice

I love my cat so much, but I REALLY wish she'd stop using me as a pillow so often because it makes me feel really guilty whenever I have to get up and move.

It is obvious but worth repeating that regimes built on lies survive only as long as they can suppress truth. The promotion of complicit media (alternative facts) & denigration of objective media (facts) is not just desirable but essential. This process is being turbo-charged in the USA right now.

This games industry bloodbath is because of corporate mismanagement and pure, unrestrained avarice. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

you know, the most meaningful difference between AOC and Schumer / Jeffries / Pelosi / etc. isn't that AOC is more progressive than the others, it's that AOC talks to voters like they're capable of understanding politics if provided with full and accurate information.

he will do a great job!

I just realized I'm going to be at work tomorrow while the Pokemon Direct is going on. Crud

The House GOP just passed a budget slashing Medicaid, SNAP, school lunches, raises taxes on everyone making less than $200k a year, lowers taxes on anyone above that, and still explodes the deficit by more than a trillion dollars. They know the 2026 elections won't be free.

I wish I cld convey how many hoops I had to jump through to get my mom on Medicaid. In fact she was denied the 1st time, despite meeting all requirements. So I had to start again—including finding an obit for the abuser she got a restraining order agst+divorced when I was 5. Fuck you Mike Johnson.
