Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!

Obama is the only president to date born when there were 50 states

when politicians in America and Israel talk about their "shared values" they are talking about those bombed hospitals and murdered schoolchildren, the genocides that both their countries are built on. that's their solidarity, that's their Civilization. may we all live to see it crumble and forgotten

Just gonna repeat myself from that video three months back: he's either a sack of shit or a giant dumbfuck. Anyone who is excited to vote for either of those is, well...

surely someone on your timeline has now been burged

whoops

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier

the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also

My entire adult life

love schlubbing to work on the weekend while the president wages an illegal war of aggression against [checking casualty notes] schoolchildren in iran

"We are wrong because we started the war" should be the anchor point for all coverage of what's happening and it's remarkable how quickly that tends to get obscured. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-countr...

For years, Iran has modeled proportionate response when they were the target of terror attacks and assassinations. If they're under existential threat, I wonder what proportionate response looks like?

Iran signed the JCPOA with the US, China, and the EU in 2015. Two years later, the US withdrew and imposed sanctions purely out of spite. 8 years later, America and Israel bomb Iran completely unprovoked. Now we're doing it again not even a year after that. There is no winning with the United States

Donald Trump must be removed from office and prosecuted for crimes against peace.

other people can make inroads and find common ground with regretful trump voters, in my personal capacity as a private citizen i am committed to hating those dumb motherfuckers for the rest of my life

NUMBER OF NUCLEAR BOMBS (AMERICAN): 3,700 (normal, healthy, robust) NUMBER OF NUCLEAR BOMBS (ISRAELI): 400 (good, wise, judicious) NUMBER OF NUCLEAR BOMBS (IRANIAN): terrifying, world-threatening, almost but not quite one

Nothing is surprising about the US starting another war. Nothing is more dangerous to Earth and mankind at large than the United States and its complete and utter failure to curtail the worst excesses of humanity. The US oligarchy and its influence on global politics must end.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

almost every american ive ever met who has moved here is simply floored by the difference. It's in the places you expect--like healthcare--but also countless ones you don't, like the quality of roads, transport and maybe most important of all, public spaces.

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment. If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

We literally know now that anti-trans legislation was pushed by a pedophile ring to allow a pedophile ring to serve a pedophile ring’s interests, and legislators have decided the best course of action is to keep doing what the pedophile ring wants.

Discord was going to use age verification that literally pipes your information straight to the fascist US government, until hackers exposed it. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.” www.therage.co/persona-age-...

I hope New Yorkers will challenge Mamdani about this. Too often, people feel they need to be absolutely for or against a politician — ignoring their missteps or throwing them out with the bathwater. You can like and/or believe in someone and still challenge them to deliver on their promises.

Is there a technology the left is excited about?

we should have a third industry besides AI and gambling

If any of you fall into the venn diagram of "really enjoyed China Miéville's October" and "played through Citizen Sleeper in one sitting because it hooked you deep in your soul" then I cannot stress enough how highly I recommend Duskpunk store.steampowered.com/app/2610880/...

My thoughts on AI and writing is simple: if you do not care enough to put time in to write and edit something, it signals to me that I should not put my time in to read it. Life is short. Why would I spend time reading something you care so little about?

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous. Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

This goes so hard

Dems will run a centrist and he’ll win by a hair. His unremarkable term will be followed in 2032 by a new fascist regime of such malignancy we’ll weep to see it. Four nightmarish years punctuated by small wins later it’ll be the most important election of our lives, on and on, until we tear it down.

TikTok’s transition to Trumpist ownership is apparently a mess. The TikTok subreddit is full of posts complaining about nothing working and people deleting their accounts. www.reddit.com/r/TikTok/

i think anyone still clinging to the delusion that elections alone can solve these problems simply will not ever be a useful ally

Feels like given DHS making up stories about what we can plainly see in the murder videos, we have to just presume every other death under their purview is also murder.

Also let's be real here, any Democrat who cannot be bothered to get a full throated disband ICE, put those motherfuckers on trial, and hold the whole goddamn government accountable are culpable. If you're not the person for the moment step down but don't stand in the fucking way.

Snowpiercer (2013)

When I lecture to students about how the apparently thriving economy of the 1920s was really a house of cards just waiting to be knocked down, one of the points I stress is how much a small number of the very rich were essentially propping up consumer spending in unsustainable ways

The "ICE is using military tactics suited for a warzone, not for American streets" rhetoric kinda misses the point that warzones are not naturally occuring. The US military creates war zones from residential neighborhoods and the tactics are not more justifiable just because it's overseas

it was over for computer science as a major when it was associated with nouveau riche industry professionalism and not the weirdo pirates situated between the grounded pragmatism of engineers and the rigorous purity of mathematicians

Y'all need to read the Mythical Mom Month. Think about the collaboration overhead!

i hate every nasty little worm pig fuck that works at ICE. in any capacity. oh i just file the paperwork there. file your ass to hell

I genuinely forgot that government can do good things expediently, not just evil shit. like what do you mean you did something good w/o a multi-year public comment period and 1,000 consultants watering it down into nothing. we can just do good stuff? we could have been doing that this whole time??

I just think it's high time that New York joins the EU (and the Schengen area)

The UN Headquarters should have been moved out of the United States years ago, but that effort should be taken seriously and even accelerated in light of renewed US hostility to the UN Charter, international law, and the UN itself.
