I haven't watched it so I can't speak to its quality but Yasuke on Netflix is loosely based on the historical figure
I've been playing Viewfinder, which is a first-person puzzle game where you can pick up photos/drawings/etc and place them in the world so that you can walk into them. Not too far yet so I don't know if it'll evolve into such, but so far it gives mindbending puzzler vibes like Superliminal, Antichamber, or Manifold Garden.
Is that Kevin Costner?
Not a Russia expert by any means but this is how I understand the situation:
- The Eastern Orthodox Church gained influence after the fall of the USSR and used it to spread anti-LGBT sentiment
- Russian leadership are conservative reactionaries and the KPRF, the largest opposition party (and only nominally communist), is also quite reactionary
- Due to the way the US weaponizes the concept of human rights, being anti-queer is seen as being anti-imperialist in many countries outside the West, including Russia
I had another point that I forgot while I was typing this up because I'm trying to function on 3 hours sleep lol. If I remember it I'll update
Capitalists love to use floating signifiers to galvanize reactionaries of different stripes
Sorry gonna semi-hijack this thread to go off about tubal ligation (sterilization for someone with a uterus) in the US.
Although the ACA requires insurance plans to cover tubal ligation, 18 states allow providers to set their own policies and these policies can be used to prevent access. Specifically for white cis women, they will deny the procedure for being childless or having "only" one child, being unmarried (to a cis man), or being deemed too young. Even if they're married, doctors will sometimes demand their husband's approval. And even if none of these conditionals apply, the provider might add additional hurdles like needing a psychologist's approval. And of course, there's the "religious objection" card to be played at any time. 1 in 7 people in the US get care from a hospital aligned with the Catholic Church, so that's a lot of religious control over women's bodies.
Now if we're talking about BIPOC cis woman, especially those in poverty, incarceration, or other precarious situations, the system will trip over itself to find reasons to forcibly sterilize them. Also any woman who are disabled or have autism have no trouble whatsoever getting sterilized if they ask.
I wonder why there are so many barriers for white, allistic, able-bodied women to get sterilized and so easy to do for all other women. What a mystery.

This is the only artist in this entire comment thread I've actually listened to lol
Il Mheg from FF14. Honorable mention to the Coral Highlands from MHW.
Unusually cool and humid. Last year around this time of month it was 38 C, today it's 22 C.
Honestly considering the RMAH fiasco of Diablo 3, I'd almost rather they not try to "innovate"
EA… games? As in Electronic Arts? I thought their games sucked?
Early Access
I really want to play SF6 but I have no means to play it
I finally got around to watching RRR. Amazing film.
Excited to watch season 2 of Star Trek: Bi-Panic soon.
Labor aristocracy are proletariat still, just ones that are paid just well enough to have their interests (generally) align with the capitalists. For example, people who identify as "middle class" are labor aristocracy.
To learn more, I'd start with the source: Lenin's Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism. In this original context it's used to explain how companies use superprofits extracted from exploited colonies to pay off the working class in the developed world enough to blunt class consciousness at home and suppress solidarity for workers abroad.
Weeping willows have an ancient forest spirit vibe that I relate with. Weeping cherries for when I'm feeling pretty
Also while technically not a tree, I have a special fondness for Yucca brevifolia (aka Joshua trees)

TL;DR: Multiple mod dev accounts were compromised in a targeted attack and many mods were injected with malware. Both Windows and Linux are affected. The malware propagates into all your jar files on your computer and attempts to steal login info on your browser, Discord, and Minecraft/Microsoft account. Because of the way it propagates itself, it is current unknown how widespread this malware is.
If you are playing on Windows or Linux and you use mods make sure to read this document and check to see if you're infected. Also even if you seem to be uninfected, it is also possible that you can still have the malware in a dormant state on your computer. If you have ever downloaded mods in the last couple months, you might want to consider not playing until we learn more about the malware if you're concerned about your data.

Graphic designer. I've worked on marketing teams most of career but after I lost my last job I tried freelancing. That was shortly before the pandemic started so that plan ended up fizzling out. I've been living on whatever few contracts I can land and gig work ever since.
