There's so much work that's needed, that would benefit individual people and society overall, but where the funding and support for it just isn't there so it isn't getting done. And it won't personally benefit the super rich, so they don't want to fund it through wages or through taxes.
Happy Birthday, Yoongi!
Damn time thieves stole one of my hours again π©
Parents' hurt feelings about the truth of their role in their child's death outweigh their other children's need to be protected from the thing that killed their sibling, apparently.
Get ready for the scary part:
What if there were no gatekeepers of social consensus, there was no way to comment on it without participating in and influencing it, and every actor was responsible for their part in moving the vibes, even though each movement was miniscule.
Why in the world would you put a dog poop bag in *any* indoor trash can? Including one that you own? There is no scenario where the stinky doodoo should be brought indoors where people can smell it.
In the Korean version the lyric at the same point in the song as "emotions on ice" is "λλ₯Ό νμ λ¬" ("the moon embraces you"). Which is so poetic, I love it so much.
my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels
Capeitalism. The economy driven by capes. Long ones, short ones, big fluffy ones, thin wispy ones. Capes are the future. Soon everyone will be wearing capes.
I think this is my favorite fancam from HOTS. In his element and looking so good and SO HAPPY π₯°
BTS IS BACK⦠and ready to take over 2026.
Nearly four years since BTS went on hiatus for mandatory military service in South Korea, the biggest band in the world is returning with a fifth studio album and a massive global tour gq.visitlink.me/GnvmXK
honestly tired of trying to convince people that trump's immigration policy is not really about violent undocumented immigrants or even just undocumented immigrants, but immigrants in general and even non-white people more broadly.
Signs too - people tend to hold them up when the tannies are getting close to their section, which is exactly when the people behind them need them to get that shit out of the way so they can see. Folks need to just keep any objects they're carrying at shoulder level and not up above their heads.
Phones are just as bad. And signs. Anything that people hold up that gets into other people's line of sight - keep it down, no higher than your head. There's a single standard for all that stuff, which is be considerate and don't block the view of the people behind you.
My view was blocked by someone waving their lightstick high in the air constantly for D-Day in Chicago. It was super annoying and distracting. I had to keep dodging around this person's lightstick to see Yoongi on stage. And I wasn't filming, just watching normally.
Lots of good K-dramas on there! I enjoyed Mr. Queen (a comedy set in the Joseon era), The Glory (very dark but very good modern drama), Under The Queen's Umbrella (Joseon again but a little more serious), and Hyena (modern legal drama with a bit of comedy and romance).
This is insanity

You know, fellas, if your jobs are that terrible for you, you could just quit.
Hurting people is easy. It's lazy. Anyone can do it with the right tools and the wrong morals.
Protecting people is hard. It takes restraint and courage and empathy. They will never have that. So they can never win, in the end. Minneapolis will win.
I'm sure they're trying real hard to recover the data from the "crashed" system that they "forgot" to back up.
Photos of Alex Pretti with Saraβs caption: On August 16th at approximately 10:00 pm I received a call from the ICU at the VA saying my Dad had sepsis and needed to be intubated to stay alive so Josh and I headed in. We were greeted by the kindest, most calming and warm soul who helped us understand what was happening and showed deep care for us and my Dad. He continued to show utmost patience and kindness over the next few days as my Dad remained in the ICU and we were there continually. It was Alex Pretti, the man shot today by ICE. If you see this video and don't think it's murder, I don't understand your thinking and ask you to question your heart. He was out there trying to help and protect and from the little we knew of him, it doesn't surprise me he was not afraid to be on the front lines of this horrible scene in our Minneapolis. Weeping for his family and all those at the VA who no longer get to work with him or receive his care.
My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti
Absolutely heartbreaking
I think Foxborahae is perfect!
Foxborough is a tough one. Maybe Bora Boston?

Solidarity from Port Townsend, WA.
That's hilarious π I wonder what excuse they'll come up with for the stadiums packed full of ARMY a few months from now. "All those fancams and pictures are AI", maybe?
Hooray, congrats! π₯³π
leftists love to throw "nonviolence won't protect you!!" at liberals. but they misunderstand. nonviolence isn't about protecting yourself. nonviolence doesn't mean nonconfrontational.
nonviolence. is. about. winning.

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. Weβd chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
