wouldn’t it have been amazing if zevran had shown up to be your assassin specialization trainer though like
'greetings from antiva! you may have heard of me from that time i failed to kill my target, or that time i fell out of a tower window on my way to another target, or that time i browned my drawers when i saw a broodmother… hahaha! yes, good times. anyway, i am here now to teach you how to pick locks! *insufficient skill*'
that is to say, i’m aware of and appreciate the contemporary meme genre but i tend to refer to the classics, such as longcat and trollface.png, as good, tried-and-true memes, but also seek guidance from more avant garde memes, such as he scream at own ass.. w, in order to gain an understanding of the meme zeitgeist and the direction that memetic culture is heading toward
the wildest thing about wahl/berg wanting a pardon for his hate crime is that even if he really is a “changed man” lmao why should he get to effectively forget about what he did when his victims cant? why should the state? why shouldn’t he live with some kind of punishment for what he did even if its the lightest punishment ive ever heard of if his only concern seems to be being able to get a liquor license
In 1988, Mark Wahlberg attacked two Asian American men in separate racially motivated hate crimes. The first, Thanh Lam, was pummeled with a 5-foot long wooden stick. According to court documents, Wahlberg screamed “Vietnam f**king sh*t!” as he beat Lam unconscious. After fleeing the scene where he assailed Lam, Wahlberg beat his second victim, Hoa Trinh, punching him in the eye and leaving him blind.
Now, over 25 years after these horrific crimes, Wahlberg is petitioning the Massachusetts State Parole Board and Governor Deval Patrick to pardon his hate crime conviction. Wahlberg claims that he is a changed man, and no longer the person he was in 1988 when he shamelessly shattered the lives of two Asian men.
But Wahlberg’s pardon isn’t an attempt to erase this part of his life and wipe the racial slate clean. It’s all about business.
In addition to being a highly-paid actor, Mark Wahlberg also owns Wahlburgers, a successful Boston-based hamburger chain that he plans to expand into California. And here’s where Wahlberg is really aiming with his request for a pardon: He wants to build his Wahlburger empire in the state of California, but will be unable to obtain a liquor license as a convicted felon. The solution? Get a pardon. Once his record is cleared of his hate crime, it’s smooth sailing – and he gets to pull in money hand over fist while his victims bear the scars and blindness he left for them.
i cannot believe it’s actually considered controversial to say that homelessness should not exist and that everyone is inherently deserving of shelter that is both safe and livable
Another witness in Michael Brown shooting found dead
December 9, 2014
Another witness of the shooting of Michael Brown has been found dead in a dry channel near River Des Peres in Misssouri, local authorities confirmed.
The man has been identified as 23-year-old Shawn Gray, a black man who testified during the grand jury proceedings over the killing of Brown by former police officer Darren Wilson.
According to relatives and friends, Gray was last seen leaving a restaurant on Thanksgiving Day. The manner and cause of his death are pending autopsy results. However, his family is demanding answers and say the death could have been premeditated murder.
Another witness DeAndre Joshua, also a young black man, was found shot dead and his car was torched outside the same neighborhood where Brown was killed.
Two witnesses of the Brown shooting have now been found dead under suspicious circumstances, while local authorities have not announced any leads in either case, and the press has provided minimal coverage.
The police murders of black young men in recent months has provided a stark reminder to the world of the harsh reality faced by many black communities in the United States. Their deaths exposed the continued persecution of black people.
Mass protests against these injustices have taken place across the country. Protesters are demanding justice for black lives lost at the hands of state sanctioned violence, with over 100 days of peaceful protest ranging from #HandsUpWalkOut and solidarity days with Ferguson.
well part of the reason why its not in the news is because its fake and I keep trying to say so but well
I mean yes, DeAndre Joshua and Shawn Gray have both been murdered recently and the police probably don’t give a shit (I think it was DeAndre’s mother who told the media “the cops don’t care, he’s black”)
but the rumors that either of them were witnesses or that they testified to the grand jury in the Mike Brown case have been entirely unsubstantiated
and I’ve looked through the notes on this post and other people occasionally try to point this out as well but here we are thousands of notes lending legitimacy to rumors that until I see otherwise will remain officially debunked
kinda hate how aromantics are either just a footnote on things dedicated to asexuality or just not mentioned at all but alright ok alright

Hun, let’s discuss how Bey opened a cosmetology center [where she pledges $100,000 a year] to help women coming out of drug and alcohol rehab to get their license and get back on their feet.
Let’s discuss how she’s the co-founder of the CHIME FOR CHANGE organization [that she donated $500,000 to out of her own pocket] that seeks to get education, health and justice for women all over the world including rape victims, human trafficking victims, girls that can’t pay for education and young moms.
Let’s discuss how she donated to the Women’s Fund for Scotland charity that seeks to help women facing challenges such as disability, domestic abuse, single parenthood etc.
Let’s discuss her ALL-GIRL BAND of all shapes, races and sizes that she to put together because she felt like women didn’t get much opportunities to shine in that department to hopefully encourage other women that they too can do it.
Let’s discuss how she’s the CEO of her own company and how most of her employees [including the VP] are females.
Bey has been talking the talk AND walking the walk of feminism for YEARS. It’s not something she got up out of the blue and decided to do to “sell her album.” It’s literally so important to her and it’s a mess how a white girl can strut in with her little speech and has y’all on y’all feet giving a standing O. Don’t get shit twisted.
