Really can't be left unacknowledged that every single state in the region that houses US military personnel, except for maybe two, do so against the will of the supermajority of their own public's opinion but it does not matter because most of these states are US backed dictatorships.

so when the Iranian government falls apart and the west gets their people on the ground, and those people fail to find any evidence of a nuclear weapons program, will there be any reckoning amongst the pundit class for pushing this obvious hoax? or just Iraq WMDs all over again?

Carney backing regime change by a guy who keeps threatening to annex his country, suicide rightism has nothing on suicide neoliberalism

despite all his talk of "middle powers" and rejecting US hegemony, the Canadian liberal remains incapable of resisting the urge to be an imperial lapdog as soon as the prospect of bombing brown people arises

far be it from me to hold myself out as a Posting Referee, but if you talk shit about a specific person by name, you don't get to go Smol Bean Mode about how they have soooo many more followers than you when they talk shit in return. you knew how many followers they had when you talked shit dummy.

across the wide wide world of wacky religious beliefs, there is no funnier denomination than "catholic who hates the pope"

there's a ton of research to back this up. we are pretty certain that writing information down makes you retain it to a far greater degree than just hearing/reading that information. people are throwing away their ability to learn things because the computer told them to.

"accelerationism" has joined "emotional labour" and "intersectionality" in the hall of fame of words that have been used so loosely to mean so many different things that there's no longer a consensus understanding of what they mean. just totally useless outside of academia.

the thing with all social media being annoying and kinda dogshit now is that you can simply play videogames instead (DM me your Path of Exile 2 usernames if you would like to slay demons with me)

diegetic autocannibalism. we love to see it, don't we, folks?

Across the US, people fed up with Flock cameras surveilling their communities, and with local governments that are often unwilling to listen to concerns over privacy violations and ICE data sharing practices, are taking matters into their own hands—and tearing them down.

Five great, action-oriented questions by Hamilton Nolan. The entire piece is excellent, highly recommended—especially when read in conjunction with the two most recent pieces in Jacobin by @chactivist.bsky.social (linked below).

Despite a broken labor law system and an anti-union administration, workers are organizing across the country for better wages, benefits and working conditions. (via @epi.org)

MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @governorwalz.mn.gov fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, this would be the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.

there's been a huge bald eagle just soaring around my neighbourhood for the last few weeks. the other day i woke up and could literally see him cruising by my apartment window while i was still in bed. another normal day in the Pacific Northwest.

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

⚡️NEW: Palestine Action has won a High Court challenge to the UK gov't.'s decision to proscribe the group as a terrorist org. Co-founder Huda Ammori brought the case after former Home Sec. Yvette Cooper imposed the ban last July, placing the group on par w/ ISIS & al Qaeda & criminalizing support...

whoa this is huge. one of the most famous (and frankly coolest) brutalist buildings in the UK was given a proper heritage designation yesterday www.bbc.com/news/article...

however vicariously embarrassed you feel when you see a grown adult say "based," you should feel that same embarrassment tenfold when you see a grown adult say "tankie"

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

this excellent Adam Shatz essay articulated this dynamic quite well I thought www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Squarespace built a fake brutalist interior for their Superbowl ad but it looks like shit lol. why is there a coffered ceiling on the wall and a cast-in-place wall on the ceiling? what the hell is that window layout?

i've decided AI is good actually. a system designed to fuck over anyone stupid enough to use it for anything important.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

"There is no visible trace left of a plot just outside the main cemetery set aside for Canadian UN peacekeepers. Inside the main graveyard two whole sections of graves have been razed, of more than 100 allied soldiers killed in the second world war..."

The photos from a UN fact finding mission to northern Gaza which were part of a diplomatic cable suppressed by the US Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, have been released by Drop Site News. These are the genocidal conditions in Gaza that Lew specifically tried to hide from the White House and public.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

it cracks me up that Epstein seems to have had Bobby Kotick, in both his "black book" and his email contacts, saved as "Boby Kotic"

NEW: Elon Musk has insisted that Jeffrey Epstein invited him to the notorious island and he declined. But new emails show the opposite -- Musk was practically begging to party with Epstein in the Caribbean, years after Epstein's sex convictions were public knowledge futurism.com/future-socie...

the "opsec" discourse on here today is an important reminder that 90% of the people who want you to take their opinions on organizing seriously never leave their house and couldn't organize their way out of a wet paper bag

Breaking - Jim Pattison Developments say the sale of their warehouse for use as a proposed ICE facility will not be proceeding

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

imagine how diseased your mind and spirit have to be to follow Bill Maher on bsky dot app

nice argument, unfortunately I have already depicted myself as a squared-up Ilhan Omar and you as a collapsing sewer ogre

New from me: More Than 100 Gazans Have Been Accepted to Canadian Universities. Canada Isn’t Letting Them In.

I mean, yeah. It is insurgency because I guess what we call insurgency overseas is often also just people trying to defend their neighbors from invaders who hate them.

they're calling it the fakest job anyone has ever had

RIP Michael Parenti.

if i post about what i think americans should be doing right now i will get banned from this website

Arthur Erickson's 1965 masterpiece, Simon Fraser University shot on Kodak Gold 200 with a Canon 40mm pancake
