every techbro is a panicked animal primed to stampede toward fascism at the slightest provocation

So aside from stealing power from emboldened paypros, I think we should also use more cash. It's easier to budget, it's physical, it's easier to pay people back with. Idk, cash is king. Especially in our surveillance state era.

A lot of people lose their bank accounts when they lose their homes. A lot of folks who are struggling rely on cash. It's extremely classiest to blanket not take it. As a service provider, cash helps me with service fees. In theory I get service fees back on my taxes, but I'd rather have them now

Actually yes. Story time, because as a business who accepts and takes cash, I've actually found that a lot of small businesses... Don't take cash. This is a problem.

numerous taxes including having to file taxes which is an ADD trap

Al; y'all Dems so agitated about Kimmel, I better see AT LEAST as much work on behalf of this man

whoa. Every single one of the Sinclair advert buyers on this list is automotive or automotive related (insurance). That is one aspect of the power in our society held by car companies that I haven't seen studied enough.

For those in #Sinclair and #Nexstar markets.... #Boycott the advertisers!! After all, Disney got the message that way! There may be some you can’t, but there are some you can!

If you are Canadian!! House of Commons petitions are very worth signing. At a certain number of signatures they need to be brought to the hoc. You can ONLY sign if you are a Canadian citizen! But always keep an eye out for them!

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the University of South Dakota to reinstate a professor who posted criticism of Charlie Kirk on his Facebook page the day of the shooting, finding the action likely violated the First Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The 60s alone should paint a pretty clear picture about the FBI

I genuinely cannot emphasize this enough. Law enforcement manufacturing evidence and testilying isn't novel to the Trump administration. It's not even more common. They're just worse at it so they're more easily caught doing it.

The interesting opposite of this is General Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord. Post-WW1 titan of the German army. Who Hitler DESPERATELY courted. von Hammerstein is one of only 3 figures believed to have told Hitler to fuck off to his face. He even thwarted Nazi attempts to politicize his own death. /1 🧵

A personally-targeted investigation by... the DOJ’s Task Force On Government Weaponization Against The American People, because you cannot make this stuff up.

"Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Wednesday he will join Italy in sending a military warship to protect an international flotilla seeking to deliver aid to Gaza after it was attacked by drones off Greece." www.reuters.com/world/middle...

"The Spanish government approves a “total” arms embargo on Israel, part of a package of measures aimed at halting what Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called “the genocide in Gaza.”" www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, the far-right, led by the Trump administration, has doubled its efforts to crackdown on transgender people. My latest article in The Guardian. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Everyone believes the drones buzzing Denmark are Russian and everyone knows they’re coming from civilian ships offshore. This from TV2:

It would be funny if trump spends more time pissing and moaning about that escalator (because it happened to him personally) than he did Charlie Kirk. Like 2 weeks from now he's *still* whining about that escalator but hasn't mentioned the neckless wonderboy once

Some people here love to dismiss ‘sportsball’ but S. African teams being banned from international competition was an important factor in ending Apartheid because it made their crimes real for non-political folk.

Holding the line… #theKimmelEffect

Spanish and Italian Navy are meeting Greek, Turkish, Egyptian and Libyan Navy to accompany the flotilla to Gaza. Nobody is talking about it in public but every private chat is talking about nothing else. I wouldn't be surprised if an attack on a NATO state is what will finally bring this to an end

if anything i'm fairly confident that being able to do things without the hallucination engine makes me automatically more competent than my competitors

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Italy was on strike in solidarity with Palestinians last Monday. Hundreds of thousands demonstrated blocking roads, ports & railway stations. In Rome, many drivers found themselves stuck in traffic — & were happy about it, saluting demonstrators & condemning Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

A tally of the responses from people at the Bank St Q&A (Ty Derrick): 23 wanted more bus lanes. 2 supported as is. That's right, of the 25 questions and comments, 92% want more from the city. Name something in Ottawa that gets over 75% approval. (Besides shawarmas being our food mascot)

At some point people need to learn that the poverty rate is mostly about the safety net or lack thereof and not the economy. The economy was doing historically well, real wages rising for the first time in decades, etc. And poverty rose because pandemic safety policies expired.

President Stubb on the UN: No single state should have a veto power.If a member of the Security Council violates the UN Charter,its voting rights should be suspended.I believe that these changes at the top of the UN are necessary in order to maintain the UN's central role in international relations

Thinking about that Miyazaki quote about creators of anime nowadays being primarily people who just watch anime and not getting external influences outside of anime in comparison to Uematsu growing up deeply on prog, psychedelic, and electronic music.

since a lot of ppl are discussing the ICE camp shooter's apparent lack of ideology, i would like to posit that online irony blackpill is absolutely an ideology with coherent tenets - the reason it appears incoherent is because this an ideology primarily defined by faithlessness, negative space

This. They’re “ironic,” but the joke is always punching down. They “don’t care,” but only because the system benefits them in ways they don’t see. They don’t want “politics,” they just want the world to cater to their every whim. I could’ve very easily been this person. We can choose differently

this is inherently rightwing actually, and the rest of it perfectly fits what sartre said about how nazis ”play” with language

When a doctor would ask if you drank or smoked and you replied yes, the whole air in the room changed

wish there was a better way to have the convo about the fact a lot of fans force queer subtext into big corporate IP that is comically devoid of it, champion it for being "so gay", and then turn around and go "mm idk, it isn't PERFECT rep" about indie stuff actually trying to include those themes

Denmark may invoke NATO's Article 4 due to repeated unidentified drone incursions into its airspace, Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulson says. That would be the third time in a month article 4 - calling for discussions among members - has been invoked.

Besides the PC and Mic I have a Monitor that is breaking, and my headphones broke so I use earbuds that hurt. These, too, would be very helpful to us and help me stream at my best. Monitor: throne.com/farronox/ite... Headphones: throne.com/farronox/ite... #MutualAid #Helpsky 💸💕 #KoFi #Throne

In the past 3 months we've met our monthly goal Once. The two months it was missed I added the unmet total to Throne. Its looking like we're going to be $730 short of bills, $1947 short of our goal. ko-fi.com/farronox/goa... farronox.carrd.co #MutualAid #Helpsky 💸💕 #KoFi #Throne

Non-Irish people should be told that Ireland is creased with national hilarity because the Catholic conservative candidate who failed to get enough support did a presser to talk about how Ireland had been cheated out of having a real 'people's candidate' while holding a €20K+ Hermes handbag.

Is this supposed to be a threat? They did this exact thing while the government was open

I have a theory that Spock's human mum was autistic as fuck, which is why she got on with Vulcans.

One thing we've learned in the last 12 hours: The Sinclair-Nexstar ban on Kimmel, in terms of his reach, means nothing in an era when late-night shows have an afterlife or simultaneous life on streaming. Kimmel's average audience is 1.6M. On YouTube, last night's monologue is already at 8.4M views.
