Rust Belt Jangle Pop is imo the best flavor

Taught a class on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion today, and every one of my students said they've seen content on TikTok that comes directly from it, without knowing before today what the source was.

it is intentional and targeted ethnospecific murder & human trafficking. and going by Lud's case where you need a frankly outlandish amount of money for fees and representation to even have a habeas corpus petition filed to have them justify/say why theyre doing it to you, theyre doing it for ransom

watching what's happening to Pinterest feels like a glimpse at the immediate future for much of the internet. AI moderation knocking down posts, people unable to talk to human beings, a flood of AI content, and hand drawn posts mislabeled as AI

I will keep on banging the drum here: the failure to investigate at all the death of Renee Good is a hostile act of gender discrimination, and it should be tied to larger attacks against women’s rights to participate in democratic society such as the SAVE ACT.

If the motherfucking KING OF ENGLAND is willing to have his own brother arrested because he's a pedo, whomever is running in the midterms and in 2028 needs to bring fire and brimstone for EVERYONE in the files. Charles himself realizes how important this is! This is not an extreme position!

Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help. “A bunch of agents jump out and tackle him, essentially restraining him, and take him away...His six kids are now without their father." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

the president of my alma mater canceled all the diversity scholarships bc of this and I showed up at a fancy event he had in Georgetown and got in his face about it and told him this is how it would end up pretty sure he just wanted to do it anyway

Was thinking about the excellent breaking of the 4th wall in Harold and Maude, and how it might be Mt Rushmore of wall breaks. Along with that one (4th image), got me thinking about others and landed on these:

Happening now: a delegation with the faith group Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership has gathered outside the Broadview, IL ICE facility. Those waiting to offer Ash Wednesday ashes and communion to those inside the facility have been joined by others for a small prayer service.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL YOU CAN GET EVERY DISCWORLD TOME ON EBOOK FOR LESS THAN THE COST OF A SUBWAY FOOTLONG COMBO. USUALLY GETTING EVERY SINGLE BOOK LEGALLY IS LIKE 400+ NOT. A. DRILL. www.humblebundle.com/books/terry-...

The Green Lantern. First time seeing a movie stoned and it was so bad it ruined the experience

Basically, the right-wing wants you to think that being racist is the most dangerous (and cool) thing you can do right now. Films like The People's Joker and Nirvanna The Band The Movie prove the most dangerous thing for algorithmic streaming platforms is actually copyright infringement.

the problem here is Jack Posobiec has read the books, he was AngryGOTFan on Twitter before he went full right-wing grifter and infamously had reactionary meltdowns about the OG show to the point he was posting leaks all over the internet

Our clients are Harvard Medical School doctors whose work was scrubbed for containing the words "LGBTQ" and "transgender." Our settlement means their critical research on suicide risk and endometriosis cannot be removed again.

BREAKING: We reached a settlement that requires the Trump administration to permanently maintain medical research that had been erased on a government website. The government doesn't get to censor science.

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality. Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

I dont WANT to repair drywall at tge house when I get home, I WANT to draw allegorical anthro pieces referencing hellenistic and celtic mythology

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

Tossing the fine art world chatroom molotov cocktail of "David Lynch has made a lot of work that fascists love and see as their own" on to the current right wing politics and art discourse

Reminds me of “if art is the establishing or breaking of aesthetic rules, then AI art, as practiced by the Right, says that there are no rules but the naked exercise of power by an in-group over an out-group. It says that the only way to enjoy art is in knowing that it is hurting somebody.”

frasiers' "freudian slip" move is an effective means of punishing opponents who block his 'fraser punch' at midrange

IT'S YEAR OF THE HORSE BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

A truth: it's just not possible to have as much reach offline as on. Yes, there is a special magic to offline connection and some things for which there will never be a digital substitute. ALSO, we have watched major shifts in global consciousness that are a direct result of these platforms.

I'm seeing a trend of people beginning to hate/give up on social media & the internet in general. I'm asking you to consider that it's by design bc we get so much collective power here, too. One of the things in The Files is how they turned many of these spaces into right-wing cesspools on purpose.

If I had a nickel for every trans woman I know who plays upright bass etc etc

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters. The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

good news everyone: jazz graphics are WAY up

Game called Hamburger Crisis thats a shallow mockery of western-trying-to-be-japanese games wrapped in a serious critique of Orientalism in gaming

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

BREAKING: An immigration judge has *terminated* the Trump-Vance administration's efforts to deport Columbia pro-Palestine student protestor Mohsen Mahdawi. Mohsen was first detained 10 months ago, when agents ambushed him at a citizenship interview.
