Question: is this cannon canon?

#Dimension20

very fun game, big props to the visuals, voice acting, and music!

okay finished South of Midnight, it’s a fun game! cute story with tons of folklore, lots of character, 10/10 music and voice acting to fit the vibe of the storytelling. not a long game, i think i spent about 12hrs on it? def worth it for a good story

it’s too depressing to only post about politics on here so on a much happier note, South of Midnight is a great game, go play it!! As soon as I beat it I’m jumping into Expedition 33 bc it also looks incredibly fun

Happy creating 🖤

complete shit show of congress foolishly allowing trump exclusive and total control over tariffs

what the actual fuck, we’re governed by the worst humans in existence

if the president can declare *any*thing an emergency, and Congress lets him do it with impunity, things are going to get much worse. our government is assaulting, kidnapping, and illegally transporting people across international borders without even the barest hint of due process.

trump just imposed a slew of tariffs (which he doesn’t have authority to do), which is tanking the stock market, raising prices for us on virtually everything, harming our relationship with every other country, and killing our tourism draw worldwide. great job everyone who voted for him.

it’s almost like everything destructive, terrible, and anti-democracy we said the Trump would do is happening, wow how did we know?!? 🙄

don’t get me wrong, it was impressive and was *something* but the party doesn’t filibuster legislation or meaningfully resist (looks at Chuck Schumer) it’s not meaningful to say why Trump is bad, we need action to stop him, unity among Dems (unreasonable to ask for I know)

as an fyi, a filibuster is a tactic used in the US Senate to delay or block a vote on a measure by preventing debate on it from ending. a senator may speak for as long as they wish.  when debate ends, the measure can be put to a vote. Booker was protesting Trump not debating pending legislation

i can’t believe Cory Booker gave the longest senate speech in history and it wasn’t even a filibuster to disrupt passage of legislation. it was just a speech for a speech’s sake, which accomplishes nothing except performative opposition to Trump. i thought he was trying to block something but nope!

would love to see term limits and ranked choice voting, probably two of the more impactful changes we could make. the current entrenched cowardly democrats are pretty frustrating to watch flail

Exclusive: U.S. CDC plans study into vaccines and autism, sources say The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is planning a large study into potential connections between vaccines and autism, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, despite extensive scientific research that has disproven or failed to find evidence of such links.

the anti-science party wants to have an agency they have absolute control over to research a baseless claim, presumably so they can get biased researchers/snake oils salesmen to further sow disinformation into the scientific community

I’m sorry but we cannot fucking govern like this

Some will say this is him backing down and won’t follow through

I’m starting to believe he is actually pausing until he gets his tax cuts passed permanently

And after that will go through with it

Regardless of will he won’t he, terrible governance

Actions like this are why claiming to be “fiscally conservative but socially liberal” is an oxymoron. First, the GOP *isn’t* fiscally conservative, but second, the cuts they will make are antithetical to being socially liberal. Every single time. 2/2

One stated reason was that schools were permitting “social transitioning” on the campuses. But when you think about what that really means, it’s using a person’s preferred name and pronouns. They want that to be something a parent can file a grievance for and seek to punish the teacher/admin.
