Battlefield 6: Fantastic multi-player that retains thr good old feelings from bf3 and 4, but with updates. Campaign, from levels to story, absolute crap (maybe mid at best). Hell, they had a worse attempt at a clean house mission. Mid-campaign + awesome multi-player? Battlefield is back

A staffer on Stephen Colbert's show wanted to ask the first ever Muslim candidate for mayor in the history of New York City to play a game of thumbs up, thumbs down about an ongoing genocide.

The journalist who worked with a white supremacist to attack Mamdani, hates criticism of TCW, appreciated Jesse Singal attacks on trans folks, etc....also thinks Bari Weiss is a center leftist..... Glad there is a new Bari Weiss-esque figure rising up in the policy sphere

Pls join us in following the Global Sumud Flotilla as it attempts to break Israel’s starvation siege of Gaza. It will make more noise if more people are watching on YouTube. So far over 60,000 people are following live. www.youtube.com/live/uEN2bWF...

Brutal

The current JK Rowling vs Emma Watson dispute...colorized

Just released a new episode with the brilliant @bsonblast.bsky.social about Sudan, the perils of online activism, and ultimately about the struggle between empathy and apathy for African lives, and so much more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf71...

Some of it, from what we know of the internal debates, isn't surprising since Harris was somewhat more sympathetic to Palestinians compared to Biden and his circle. Yet this partially reads as her attempt to brush of what she did during the campaign, and honestly raises questions of why she kept

The number of Indians who think anti-Indian hate started because some Indians on social media or on real life acted shitty...is literally going to make me the fucking joker

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

South Asia has seen 3 governments fall due to mass protests in as many years. But returning to the status quo or simply holding elections isn't enough, real change is needed, @pstaniland.bsky.social on the current wave of protests impacting the region. www.journalofdemocracy.org/online-exclu...

Andrew Schultz in yet another display of his wisdom, asks whether Charlie Kirk, the person who maintained a watch list to harrass and threaten academics.....would want to cancel people

The ppl who support genocide, supported the violent crackdown on student protesters, supported the deportation of foreign students for op-eds, and generally ignored the killings/attempted killings of centrist + LW figures...are horrified you aren't crying about Charlie Kirk

I know most folks here might not get it, but S-tier jokes here

Do you ever think about how many charismatic and influential speeches/statements there have been in the world...and somehow few are as legendary as Subcomandante Marcos saying: " I shit on all the revolutionary vanguards of this planet." theanarchistlibrary.org/library/subc...

The tankies are on it, the US is backing a color revolution in Nepal to overthrow the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist), in favor of the opposition parties led by the.... Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist-Centre)

Watching the images from Nepal are amazing. I can't believe that Donald Lu managed to organize another protest even after he left the State Department

I have to wait another day to enjoy the sadhya, but Happy Onam/Onam Ashamsakal!! #Onam

Excellent indepth dive into the numerous problems of America's tipping culture, and why the no tax on tips isn't much of a solution, by Fatima Khan. jacobin.com/2025/08/tipp...

Damn, one of my favorite YouTube essayists is leaving. Khadija had some awesome and enjoyable essays on contemporary events, misogynoir, etc. Plus she had great book recommendations youtu.be/cPYz1a4T5bk?...

Its lowkey fascinating seeing the difference between Twitter and Bluesky when discussing Lorenz's recent wired article. There, its actually a concern...and raises questions about efficacy and ethics. Here, seems like "how dare Lorenz report this...look she did an ad once"

Honestly watching the Raja Jackson situation, all the videos up to the incident, and the reaction on twitter, it's just really goes Raja is stupid and deserves serious punishment, his dad + Kick made things worse, and God MMA + Twitter commentary is super racist and bad.

Mariam Dagga saw so much death in Gaza in the last months of her life, before Israel killed her too. So many of these photos are of dead children, or dying children, or dead children near their dead parents. So much death. The ruthless savagery of the Israelis will haunt the West for generations.

they were killed in a double-tap strike. that means israel bombed. journalists and aid workers went to the site to document and rescue people. then israel struck again.

I can't wait to hear from same folks who were rightfully angry about the Assad regime targeting civil defense workers but also said "how dare you say Israel targets civilians and hospitals" spin the most recent double tap attack on Gaza's civil defense workers

I've decided to start doing some hot-take videos on Youtube. But decided, at least for now, that these hot takes will be member only. Get them while their hot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7N-...

I do love how for Bhakts, lightly criticizing India's human rights record and not allowing India to conduct assassinations on its soil is "instigating colour revolutions"

Idk how popular the protests in Suwayda are among the general Druze population, but besides it being just stupid politically and immoral, I have a feeling that the backers are hoping it will continue to polarize Syrians against each other

Can't believe the dude who cooperated with a white supremacist to write about how Zohran Mamdani once ticked off "African American" on a college app....loves TCW

Gotta love when bhakts bring up things that even many Islamophobes in the west haven't mentioned on a regular basis anymore. But also funny that they're talking about a concept in Shia'ism to talk about a couple try that they point out is Sunni Islamist/Jihadist

My take on the Public Defender discourse at the other place is A) Recognize most of these are nameless and faceless people so not worth your time. B) some of these folks don't have much knowledge outside what they see on social media and aren't interested in good faith arguments....

There are humane ways that stray dogs in India should be handled and advocated for. But goddamn, we seriously have seen how much dehumanization and everyday violence towards lower caste people, Muslims, or even the roundup of Bengali Muslims with minimal pushback from the elites

I'm back from Lebanon. Will be do some episodes/writings about my time there. For now I want to push anyone reading to support Queer Mutual Aid Lebanon by giving a monthly amount. All the money we raise goes straight to queer and trans individuals to cover rent, meds, etc. www.patreon.com/qmalebanon

There are "scholars" on here trying to justify the murder of Anas Al-Sharif because "he's Hamas"...when anyone serious who has watched Israel justify everything in the genocide as "Hamas" aren't serious people...and CPJ had already called out the smear campaign a month ago cpj.org/2025/07/cpj-...

The Israelis killed the loudest and most well-known voice in Gaza just days after announcing their new phase of their genocidal war: fully occupying Gaza city.

I can see why the SDF would want an alliance of minorities that pushes for a more pluralistic and decentralized Syria, especially when so many are wary of the new gov Getting figures with bad histories and shady local and international connections is dumb and overshadows that

And here I was told by so many bhakts and overseas Trump supporters that Trump was fighting the "anti-India" deep state. But I guess Donald Lu is still cooking

A good read by Kheder Khaddour on the recent fighting between the STG and Druze armed groups in Suwayda, the regional repercussions, and the need for negotiated conflict management. carnegieendowment.org/middle-east/...

"It is our task to make sure that any child or adult starved to death by the Israelis are turned into political hauntings, into living nightmares to all those who have taken part in this most savage of crimes against humanity." @ayoub.bsky.social www.hauntologies.net/p/the-genoci...

Same folks who claimed that Israel definetly did not bomb that hospital or intentionally target civilians....still deny any of those things happen.....or it's just Hamas

That Bannon is the primary source on these claims across all of these outlets (left image) is related to the notion of reticulation @daveforan.bsky.social + @hariprasad.bsky.social + I wrote about in our TPV article on Rittenhouse memes (right image). www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

So in the other place, apparently TERFs are trying to make Pedro Pascal look like a creep.....because he's not being a POS to trans people...

Excellent article by Harsh Mander on the the rise of Hindutva cinema as an evolution of Hindi cinema's political messaging, one that is considerably more jingoistic, anti-Muslim, anti-Left, and how its being utilized by Hindutva movements across the country scroll.in/article/1084...

You know...if you're a civil servant and there is deadly sectarian bloodletting occurring (with some believing your gov is adding fuel to the fire), maybe your last tweet shouldn't be implying that it's Islamophobic to not let x group attack y group. Just saying
