Ok... this got me

Sure wish we had antitrust laws

FASCISM.

Realistically, every single mainstream political reporter thinks kidnapping Americans into concentration camps is good and cool, and we should explicitly say that.

are you by any chance an artist with an extant body of work about ranches wolves mountains carcasses meats snakeskins and devils that i could pay you some money to license before the 31st

like i’m genuinely baffled that a bunch of people who are ostensibly “anti-genocide” have LITERALLY NO POLITICAL IMAGINATION beyond *checks notes* yell at people to vote for a guy with a nazi tattoo

"who wants this" is a good question with a pretty simple answer: investors do who like how companies figured out they can short-term double count self dealing moving around money at a loss between their data centers, hardware partners and software teams. it isn't for us. nothing new is at this point

ME: I have a debilitating chronic illness EVERYONE: Okay ME: *has a visible chronic illness symptom* EVERYONE: *Boos from the crowd*

ye see this shits not inevitable never give up in advance

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

This feels like it should be front page news. Something like “the Israeli government is fabricating ‘evidence’ to justify mass murder” or something along those lines.

“don’t be bigoted towards AI.” your AI data centers are poisoning Black communities as we speak, please get some fucking perspective. jesus christ

SPEAK LASSIE, WHAT IS IT BOY UNITY FELL DOWN THE OLD WELL?!

Microsoft shoved their AI Copilot into everything in Windows 11. Which lead to an increase in Windows 10 use. So they announced they'd stop support for Windows 10, but its usage was still strong. So they started to put Copilot into Windows 10. Windows 7 use is surging 5x now. AI is product poison.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️ As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

the mood today

In the coming days, weeks, months, years, Decades ICE agents will seek friends, partners, book club members & so on Don't be one. Say you don't support any of that shit. Say you think they're a danger to society. Say you think they're morally empty & evil. Or just refuse & tell others to as well

Next week has been exhausting. I'm still trying to catch up from last week.

Again, I recommend moving away from and being mindful of using of TikTok. Oracle, one of the most privacy-violating, pro-surveillance, genocide-supporting, pro-policing corporations to exist, is taking over co-ownership of TikTok.

(listen racism was almost CERTAINLY also a factor in this case but the point is: even if he HAD been psychotic, even if he had been some unhoused guy who thought he was member of famous 60s group the four tops but was actually just Joe? *they still didn't test his heart*)

like how is it just the end of tuesday? surely it must be next week by now

If they walk it back, and your wallets follow, you will have taught them exactly how cheaply you can be bought, and confirm that you'll tolerate sacrificing human rights for everyone except those who are already unspeakably privileged.

free speech is when your government takes over a communication platform to secretly decide what can be said on it, who will see what, and who spends how much time looking at different types of messages about their interests for, you know, normal reasons and stuff

there’s just one day left for this bundle. it’s halfway to its goal. please keep sharing and spreading the word about it. every bit helps. no effort is wasted effort. thank you!! 🙏

If I say what I wanna say..... Anyway, there's an important chapter in "They Were Her Property" by Stephanie Jones-Rogers about the comfort white women in particular have violently policing the correctness of Black people existing in public. Either in location or presentation.

You can spend today seeking a way to support and uplift the many marginalized groups that Kirk demonized and harmed.

You don't have to mourn people who despised you and wanted terrible things to happen to you. Hard to believe that this needs to be said but apparently it does.

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

Repost anything except anymore news pieces about genocidal countries recognizing Palestine while helping to ethnically cleanse it. Please. We can't take it anymore.

While it’s got good intentions, a blackout on here as a protest against censorship is not nearly as effective as getting loud and annoying. Speak up!!!

The most important thing I think any sane person can understand right now is that we spend too much time trying to catch the fascists in a gotcha. They don't care what we think. They don't care about being hypocrites. They have to do that work of leaving the cult on their own. We need to be building
