Buddy, you're a young man, hard man
Shouting in the street, gonna take on the world someday
You got blood on your face, you big disgrace
Waving your banner all over the place

Would you like me to scrub your back with my nifty little scrub brush?
You would?
Okay, how's this?

So I am not on a Diet™️ because those things never work for me, but I am trying to replace my usual afternoon snacking with like... stuff that isn't as loaded with sugar and carbs

My big kick recently is a block of tofu for ridiculously cheap (like sub-80yen), cut into quarters, one block a day, covered in sliced chives, a dollop of garlic (I buy these in a tube), and soy sauce. It's good, it's salty, it gives me brain power for the afternoon, highly recommend

Yesterday we finished and released our entry for Godot Wild Jam 84.

He Runs On The Wheel

He being our little hampter Nuudeli, and the wheel being the beautiful cosmos he sees as he runs.

The wife @Nightingalle once again did music, sound and a lot of the artwork.

It's a pretty challenging race-against-the-clock game, it's got obstacles, it's got power-ups, it's got drifting and drift boosts.

A very English genocide.

Excerpts from an open letter to UK PM Keir Starmer from the leaders of eight political parties of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland:

"The humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza is both man-made and avoidable. It is characterised not only by relentless bombardment and destruction, but by the deliberate creation of conditions that are starving a civilian population. The blocking of food, water, and medical supplies has precipitated what UN agencies and humanitarian experts describe as a man-made famine; one that is rapidly claiming lives and inflicting irreparable harm on an already traumatised population. [...]

"As a signatory to the Genocide Convention, the United Kingdom has a binding obligation to prevent acts that may amount to genocide and to ensure accountability for those responsible. Continued political, diplomatic, and military support to a government accused of committing such acts is not only morally indefensible but risks
placing the UK in breach of its international legal duties.

"We call upon you to:
1. Recall parliament to impose immediate sanctions on Israel
2. Support a ceasefire and meaningful diplomatic intervention to protect civilians and secure a just, lasting peace.
3. Immediately end all arms sales to Israel
4. Back independent, international investigations into alleged war crimes, crimes against humanity, and acts of genocide in Gaza.
5. Use the UK’s diplomatic influence to press for the unimpeded delivery of food, water, medicine, and humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza"

This is the fucking problem with this country. A woman in Florida is suing a farm because she chose to feed her toddler raw milk, which by law had a label specifically stating it was not for human consumption.

If you’re going to be a fucking idiot, accept your fate. I mean, fuck that farm for selling a product we all know is unsafe, but also, if it says you shouldn’t eat it, you probably shouldn’t eat it.

Where are the Christian refugees fleeing Muslim countries because they really are persecuted by a Muslim government?

Why is it primarily Muslim refugees who are allowed to practice their Muslim religion in a Muslim country that are leaving to non Muslim countries?

Why did Jews let Muslims in the Gates of Toledo resulting in people who label themselves as Christian or Catholic getting killed in massive numbers?

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and COVID

"Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), already a long-neglected condition, has been thrust into the spotlight by COVID-19. ME/CFS is characterized by debilitating fatigue, post-exertional malaise, cognitive impairment, and unrefreshing sleep. The projections we summarize in this essay underscore the profound

I guess i can elaborate
1. His name is not moshe. That is yiddish nonsense
2. He married a Kushite, which because the Greeks called them Ethiopian, and there is a country called Ethiopian full of coal black niggers, people want to make a connection to. But there is none. The blacks in ethiopia 3k years ago were basically wild animals )see Diodorus Siculus). But more importantly he didnt even go to what is modern day Ethiopian, but modern day Iraq. She was a daughter of Nimrod, a cushite.

'A soldier who founded a white nationalist group and self-identified as a Nazi has pleaded guilty to attempted espionage. He provided maps of military facilities and defence system login details to an undercover officer posing as an agent of a foreign country.'

Paparoa adds:

'The soldier had reasonable opsec, but had left enough clues for several anti-fascists to independently and categorically link the codename "Johan Wolfe" with his real-life identity.

The intelligence services were more interested in harrassing Muslims and peace activists.

"Wolfe" was a member of the Action Zealandia, Dominion Movement, and Wargus Christi neo-Nazi groups.

RNZ has incorrectly reported these groups as "nationalist".

There is plenty of evidence that all 3 groups are neo-Nazis, with members praising Hitler, the Holocaust and March 15.'

I think everyone at Nintendo and their affiliated studios must have binge-watched “Made in Abyss” during a job retreat in the last few years… because from Pokémon SV to DK Bananza (and maybe even Zelda TotK), all of these games feature some kind of subterranean, otherworldly exploration ​:blobfoxangrylaugh:
The only thing these games are missing is copious amounts of loli guro ​:ablobcatblinkhyper:​ but the new DK at least has a loli, so there’s that! ​:02_laugh:

Randa Abdel-Fattah writes on the debacle that was the Bendigo Writers Festival 2025:

'... far easier to see is that the murder of journalists – the ultimate act of silencing – and institutional measures to silence writers and academics here are both about burying the testimony and the history and the claims of Palestinians, whether it is in graves inside Palestine or under the detritus of campaigns to criminalise Palestinians and their allies outside the homeland. Bearing witness and sharing witness are attacked together.'
