This Woman Does a Pretty Convincing Batman-Style Beatdown When it comes to bringing action found in popular comics, anime and video games to life, the Thousand Pounds Action Company sets a pretty high standard. They’ve done videos based off of DC Comics, Naruto Shippuden and Street Fighter and now they’re adding the Dark Knight’s latest video game to their portfolio. The young lady in the clip is Mickey Facchinello and she really makes me want to see a Batgirl kicking ass in the Batman video game universe. Folks familiar with Arkham City’s combat moveset will see a bunch of familiar moves and camera tricks. Sure, there are no costumes but, with fight choreography this good, who needs ‘em?

Holy badass, Batman! Batwoman in Arkham City anyone?

Hey not to be a downer but just so we’re all aware the Supreme Court just voted to criminalize homelessness and gut every administrative agency that keeps corporations from poisoning our food water and air

That is until Matilde Di Canossa accomplished what seemed like an impossible undertaking. Among her many great accomplishments, her defeat of the Holy Roman Emperor - Henry IV - was a major turning point for the Catholic Church, for Western Europe and for Italy. It earned her the honorific "Madonna of War" or as she is also known, "Gran Contessa" and "Gran Duchessa" - The Grand Countess and the Grand Duchess. For indeed, she held legal claim over both titles and more.

Royal Wood. Do You Recall

I feel like I am living in the twilight zone. Literally thousands of Palestinians are dead, hundreds still missing under the rubble, Palestinians being captured and tortured in the West Bank, Israel saying “oh we’re going to ramp up our bombing” and tonight being the worst night of bombing to date and all I hear is “both sides both sides both sides both sides-“ I feel like I’m going mad

It is likely I will die next to a pile of things I was meaning to read.

openly admitting that the material reality has not really changed much but the absurdity and violence of American politics is exposed for everyone to see now and it's making you uncomfortable and you wish everyone could go back to pretending any of this was ever rational there I can put it into words
