This is pretty much how I would sum up 2025... everything in the shitter.

Exposing the lies Trump tells about crime in Washington DC. Trump sent in National Guard troops in mid-August. This is a chart of violent crimes in DC since the start of the year. See how robbery (orange) and assualt (yellow) are, if anything increasing since mid August?

My favorite thing from the #trumpisdead fiasco...

I'm currently gaslighting a pig butchering scammer. Does that make me a bad person?

The fix is in - again. It has also been pointed out they know that SCOTUS requires the census to include non-citizens. So he'll be forced to include all those imprisoned in his gulags, that's why they are located in Red States which will boost numbers in […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

"This landscape of destruction looks otherworldly. Yet it's not. It is this world and what is happening may yet come to define one of its darkest eras." Those who said "Gaza is genocide" are vindicated - a pyrrhic victory when tens of thousands are dead, injured or literally starving to death.

Coming soon...

Great video talking about how corrupted the Democrats speaking out against Zohran in NYC are so corrupted by boat loads of AIPAC money. https://youtu.be/_YVeyOTQCCE

"I've got binders full of clients..."

Robert absolutely gets it and says it plainly and simply. My take is that "Christian" nationalists see in Israel a legitimization of what they want for the US. A "golden dome" over a theocratic "Christian" nation. Defend Israel and endorse United States of Gilead. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7Aj...

Gordon Gecko: "greed is good" Lao-Tzu: "there is no greater disaster than greed" Donald Trump: "Hold my Trump steaks... Make America Greedy Again"

My biggest worry about people becoming obsessed with AI and believing it to be God is that once the corrupt US "christian" cults cotton on they will create their own that is designed to be very controlling and spies on all users so they can be controlled - as the Scientologists do using the […]

I guess Florida got jealous of ICE doing all the fascist kidnapping people off the streets. Sounds like a great way to drive even more tourists away. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/florida-officials-ask-supreme-court-allow-enforcement-new-immigration-law/

Congratulations Zohran Mandani for winning the Democratic nomination for Mayor of New York City.

To protect the President from lightning on Saturday they will be providing him with a complimentary Faraday cage...

88 years later the 1937 poem "Slough" by Sir John Betjeman is almost like it was written for someone else. http://www-cdr.stanford.edu/intuition/Slough.html Let me give you a clue... Come friendly bombs and fall on <redacted>! It isn't fit for humans now, There isn't grass to graze a cow […]

What the actual fuck? https://youtu.be/xAn59Ml5eM4

I spent a few days this week with a colleague who used to live in Belarus. He painted a very dark picture of what is going on there and how it is just not a safe place to be. Neighbors turning on each other and reporting them Stazi style. People disappearing from the streets. Where fascist […]

I don't know what kind of games Elon, Katie, and Stephen Miller have been getting up to but this is probably not the kind of fist play he was looking for...

A quick thought experiment: If someone opposed the Russian invasion and decimation of regions of Ukraine and shot two Russians in their home city shouting "Free Ukraine!" as they did so... would they be called anti-Russian, anti-Putin, anti-something else, or just a murderer?

TIL the term "quiet cracking" which refers to employees who are slowly and quietly finding themselves disengaged from their current job for various reasons beyond their own volition. Although it could be due to "quiet firing" it is different from "quiet quitting" which is voluntary […]

Veteran Tony Ortiz dumps the GOP he joined; its anti immigrant, book banning extremism drove him to Democrats; he rejects the party of Orange Fuckface’s fear mongering and vows to protect immigrants and inclusive history in schools. www.rawstory.com/ton...

When they are praying 'king Trump is looking around the room to see who isn't praying so he can take them out. After all, what's the point in being the Second Coming if your supplicants won't worship you publicly?

Alex Glorioso of the Miami Herald discusses the $10M corruption of DeStantis, his wife, the governor, and the AG. We may be in a new gilded age, but every time you scratch you find it is just a gilded turd. Now wash your hands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA92siNcOUA

The comments on this article seem just like those we get from MAGA extremists about "demonrats". But not all are like that - we know what there are many Israelis who don't condone genocide. My favorite comment was "What's the difference between jihadism and Zionism?" ... exactly […]

You finally really did it. You maniacs, you blew it up! GenAI shameless ripped from one of the Scareketchip videos https://www.youtube.com/@scaredketchup

Another Republican politician arrested for sex crimes with minors. https://www.fox9.com/news/minnesota-senator-justin-eichorn-arrest

Arson at a Tesla servicing center is being investigated as terrorism. This clears the path for LEO across the nation to arrest anyone protesting Tesla as terrorists, conspiring to commit terrorism, or aiding and supporting terrorism. Pretty soon any protest again Elon, Trump, or any MAGA will […]

A great video from Democracy Now highlighting how many countries including the US are jailing protestors and charging them with extreme crimes like "Conspiracy against the United States". When you look at the actual coup Trump pulled off with no conviction - all because he's part of the […]

What the actual fuck... Talk about waste - the FBI is spending time being environment thought police for 'king Trump?

Big Oil is trying to silence dissent from Greenpeace or anyone else who would spread information about their dirty tricks, or train people in non-violent peaceful resistance. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/big-oil-revenge-greenpeace-lawsuit

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Interview with Curtis Yarvin, the architect and thought leader of Musk/Thiel/Trump's techno-fascist coup. #curtisyarvin #darkenlightenment #technofascism #coup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcSil8NeQq8

This interview with Dana Fisher about resistance in the Trump 2.0 era is a worthwhile listen IMO... https://youtu.be/H6XAwrnWADw

Some long time friends just traded their Tesla Model S in for a shiny new electric BMW. It was quite a step since they were giving up the "free charging for life" deal from when they bought the Tesla. The BMW dealership has now stopped the special trade in […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

London bus stop ad by the PeopleVsElon. Great work. #BoycottTesla

Mastodon and Pixelfed get a shout out on John Oliver's Last Week Tonight show as alternatives to Meta products Facebook, Mastodon, and Threads. He highlights how Meta's new content moderation policy is basically "Fuck it!" with this spoof FB commercial. https://youtu.be/nf7XHR3EVHo?t=1586

a massive and unregulated coalition of global dodgy data brokers tracks your every fart and movement (down to the millisecond and meter), and sells it to any random dipshit (including foreign intelligence). instead of doing anything about it we engaged in a 3 year myopic freak out about TikTok

So Elon says he's going to "Fix" the FAA computer systems. Remember what he did with Twitter... fired 90% of the employees and ran around the data center unplugging things to see what crashed? Telsa "auto-pilot" has already crashed nearly 100 cars which Tesla just considers "training data". So […]

I've never in my career had a job where I loved the work I was doing, loved the people I was doing it with, and loved the compensation. After several decades in the work place and staring down retirement age I've pretty much decided that will never be the case - at least as long as I need a […]

Humanity is so screwed because no video can be trusted any more. I simply don't believe we have in place the mechanisms to assert provenance of any video or audio now. https://youtu.be/lgotWx7GmNI
