you know how people say soup is round and so it's messed up to put it in a square tupperware? that's how I feel every time I see a square watch

curious what your thoughts on this are then

It says guess bcs you're more likely to actually figure out what time it is that way.

How do you feel about Qlocktwo?

You know given my dyscaculia this is actually easier for me to read than a regular analog clock AND it's giving old school cheesy secret agent vibes so I think it's so ridiculous that it loops back around to being cool again. Still, wish it was round.

Okay this one I think you will probably like then

"How do these clocks make you feel?"

Someone brought me this beauty for a battery change a few months ago

It wraps around your wrist and it's probably the coolest watch I've ever seen at work

That's actually the coolest watch I've ever seen in my entire life, thank you for sharing!

This is an incredible story.

A man assassinates a former prime minister and gives his demands to the government who turn around and go “Actually yeah, these are quite a good ideas.”

By far the most successful assassin in history, tbh. It's like if someone bodied Reagan and a month later we got police/drug reforms

It's kinda wild how in season one of Arcane Silco held a meeting with the chem barons and utilized the noxious gas of the underground as a way to remind them of what the underground used to be like while saying that the barons have grown fat and complacent and that is why he keeps fighting, and then in season 2 Caitlyn and her strike team unleash copious amounts of toxic gas on the undercity in basically what is an attempt to force them into complacency for the appeasment of topside. I hadn't watched season 1 in a while, so i had completely forgotten about it, but it really tickles my brain considering that Jinx is the one to have given topside a taste of their own medicine by redirecting the gas upwards.

In hinsight scene in season one foreshadowed chem barons being taken down by the strike team using the Grey, proving Silco was right about them. Also, another brick to my little garden of "how Arcane stomped on the idea of there being good cops by having all cops we have seen who weren't assholes, all 4 of them, join forces...and commit what probably crosses the line from police brutality into a fucking warcrime".

Project 2025 ain't gonna roll out all at once. So what we're gonna wanna do is make passing each individual part of it as difficult as possible, so there's less to undo once we finally get this country back on the rails.

Resist every step and do not get distracted by stupid bullshit. Distracting people with stupid bullshit is one of Trump's favorite political techniques. We saw it all over the place in the first term.

Trump will say something like "You know the Hispanics actually punch kittens, it's what they do."

And the news will be like "TRUMP SAID HISPANIC PEOPLE PUNCH KITTENS" for three weeks.

And while they're doing that the Republicans in Congress have quietly deleted healthcare.

Do not get distracted by stupid bullshit. Trump is a dancing monkey whose greatest asset is the ability to yank the spotlight off of everyone else. Keep your eyes on Congress.

In episode 2, “Watch It All Burn,” there are several stylized effects throughout -

The smoke of Jinx’s gun spelling out ‘poow’

The speakers of Sevika’s new arm having soundwaves and music notes coming out of them, when Get Jinxed plays.

The halo of stars circling around Smeech’s head after he’d been hit

At first, I thought these were just fun and cool aesthetic choices, but now I’m wondering if they're in fact also Jinx’s hallucinations.

Now on the one hand, they’re not indicated to us as being the same as Jinx’s previous hallucinations.

For example, we have the same flashing and scratching effects of Jinx’s psychosis from the previous season happening over Vi’s face/enforcer mask when Jinx sees her in the enforcer uniform for the first time.

But that could just be because Vi being in an enforcer uniform is very triggering for Jinx.

I just feel like we can’t ignore how the stylized effects in this episode are 100% in Jinx’s drawing style.

So, I think Jinx is still having hallucinations, but rather than disrupting reality for her or being triggered by her trauma, these new ones are sort of enhancing reality for her, rather than taking over and or contradicting it.

And if I’m right, I love that so goddamn much.

Yeah, I kind of assumed the cartoony effects during the Sevika and Smeech fight were Jinx’s imagination. But if they’re still actual hallucinations that’s really interesting, and would be the first time we’ve seen that her visions aren’t frightening but rather….fun.

So, indicator of improving mental health??

the lesson I'm taking away from this election is not that the Democrats need to become more left wing or more right wing but moreso that they need to find a way to cater their rhetoric towards people who genuinly have no idea what is going on. the target audience for every speech and political appearance should be someone who doesn't know what the three branches of government are because they were drawing a Cool S during high school civics

PUNK PSA:

Please don’t put anything too political on your back patches— especially about your own marginalized experiences.

This has been a long standing rule in punk communities, passed down for generations. People do get jumped and experience violence as a result of this. You can’t see who is behind you, you can’t tell if they’re far right, and you can’t prepare yourself for sudden violence from behind.

So many people are new to the scene, introduced via social media, and don’t know the weight of walking with something on your back (literally and metaphorically) that immediately outs you as marginalized. If you’re able to defend yourself, or out with friends who can watch your back, by all means go for it and wear whatever you want on your back patches but if you walk alone at all ever, please be safe.

Also this is why punks wear spikes and studs on our shoulders especially. Makes it harder for someone to grab you and works as self defense (but also never wear spikes at a small show or if you plan to mosh— people can get hurt!).

Never put a target on your back. Put a target on your front so you can punch first.

If you are in your 20s and depressed I want you to know this: As you age, I promise, you will acquire tools and perspective that will open your world in ways you cannot imagine right now. You will find levels of contentment and joy you never thought possible. You will access a deep understanding and forgiveness of yourself that comes just from hanging out long enough in the same body, and that forgiveness will change everything. Also you may have a regressive depression so intense and long-lasting that it feels like a traumatic brain injury. don't freak out it's normal
