    Hungry and hunting alone, a goblin boy meets a bouncing, blue slime and assumes it will be dinner. Naturally, the slime has other ideas, and the boy gets his hind-end handed to him by what’s supposed to be one of the weakest monsters of the forest.

  3. "Short People" is a song by #RandyNewman from his 1977 album, #LittleCriminals. With lyrics demeaning to short people, the song was intended by Newman to be a satire about #prejudice more broadly. As with many of his songs such as "Rednecks", Newman wrote the song from the point of view of a #biasedNarrator.

  8. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    Q. With what the Germans, Japanese and Italians are trying to do to the democracies of the world — especially our United States — do you really mean you would permit your children to number among their friends any Germans, Japanese or Italians?
     
    A. I certainly do. How are we going to live in peace in the world of the future if we cannot be friends ourselves with Germans, Japanese or Italians? I have friends of all those nationalities; some of them have fled their own countries because they were in disagreement with the policies of the governments of those countries. I imagine there are many people still in those countries who are suffering because they do not agree with what their governments are doing. If we take the attitude that we can never be friends with people of these nationalities, our chance for a peaceful world in the future is slim indeed!

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
    Column (1942-09), “If You Ask Me,” Ladies’ Home Journal, Vol. 59

  9. What kind of people is this trying to label or imply the entire demographic as something, triggering those people to respond defensively to the indirect, subtle gaslighting? And then avoiding accountability by acting innocent.

  10. A quotation from Orwell

    I think one must engage in politics — using the word in a wide sense — and that one must have preferences: that is, one must recognise that some causes are objectively better than others, even if they are advanced by equally bad means. As for the nationalistic loves and hatreds that I have spoken of, they are part of the make-up of most of us, whether we like it or not. Whether it is possible to get rid of them I do not know, but I do believe that it is possible to struggle against them, and that this is essentially a moral effort. It is a question first of all of discovering what one really is, what one’s own feelings really are, and then of making allowance for the inevitable bias.

    George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1945-05), “Notes on Nationalism,” Polemic Magazine (1945-10)

  11. Judge Paul A. Magnuson #dismissed the charges on Friday with #prejudice, meaning the case cannot be refiled.

    #ToddLyons, the acting director of #ICE, said in a statement Friday that 2 officers seemed to have provided “inaccurate testimony” [straight up #perjury].

  13. A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

    We must scrupulously guard the civil rights and civil liberties of all citizens, whatever their background. We must remember that any oppression, any injustice, any hatred, is a wedge designed to attack our civilization.

    Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
    Letter (1940-01-09) to William Allan Neilson
