Don't let Gul Newsome become Legate Newsome. And dear god, don't let him fuck around with any glowing space-orbs.

Happy International Women's Day to the original International Woman

This is what ecocide looks like.

I usually enjoy actors' roles when it feels like they're really having fun with it or into it. I think Mark Hammil has a lot of fun.

Finding games like this in Steam's store can feel like panning for gold in shit creek. Casey's curator page has been my favorite way to skip wading through the half finished or bland to get to the great indie ganes like this one. She's really good at what she does.

To retrieve 40 year old remains (not there), of which the family has said "The sanctity of life comes before the commitment to return the remains of a fighter for burial" To regimes like those in the US, Israel & Russia, dead loved ones are a resource to justify making more dead loved ones.

Every morning, a fresh new horror and crime against humanity. The US regime of nazis and fucking captain planet villains.

*Alysa Liu voice* that's what I'm fucking talking about

Well, shit. I had only heard about the chicken fried rice. Ive got a bag of the recalled veggie rice and would have forgotten about this whole thing a month from now.

This week's comic: The Big Dumb War Cycle

We need to talk about Ruben Ray Martinez as much as we have and do talk about Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Unfathomably massive, life critical news that 97% of people won’t know because of the cretins who own and operate the mainstream news. (Sometimes it helps to say/write it out loud even though it does almost nothing at this point)

so entirely grim

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea. newrepublic.com/post/207429/...

People do realize that positioning any serious topic as a distraction from a different serious topic is you just saying you don't want other people talking about anything other than what you want to talk about, right.

How i feel when someone blocks me.

World Central Kitchen head José Andrés confirms Israel has closed Gaza’s borders indefinitely and warns the NGO will run out of food this week. The group is currently cooking about 1 million hot meals a day.

showing up

Officially deployed test agent from Microsoft in Teams... Thanks for giving our IT security people a panic attack.

I don't see how there can be a future republic without tribunals for regime criminals

NEW, from me: I talked to Aliya Rahman, who was dragged out of Tuesday's State of the Union + arrested for... standing up. Really. Rahman, who is autistic and has disabilities, was a guest of Rep. Ilhan Omar + was previously brutally detained by ICE in Minneapolis. www.huffpost.com/entry/aliya-...

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

Handy.

This is a policy of genocide.

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

Too many people think being a "good person" is based on the words they put on a page or the media they take in rather than being based on how they act and how they treat people.

Looking for good options for mutual aid or charities helping civilians in Iran and the region. Suggestions? Red Crescent?

Years ago in another life I gave a guest lecture at The Hague warning “AI weapons” could be invoked to remove accountability for war crimes from the chain of command. I said “there are no autonomous weapons, only unsupervised ones,” and sadly it seems I was cooking with that one

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

I love her, part one million

Fucking ghouls

They used Claude to kill a bunch of schoolgirls today. Hating AI & its slop merchant proponents is righteous, moral, and at this point, literal self-defense.

Blaming people opposing genocide is a play in favor of the fascists - sacrificing any group of people for who they are to preserve yourself or your own will always support the fascists. And fascism will always win, when people vote in the mistaken belief voting to harm others will save themselves.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Compare AOC's statement to Schumer's. We desperately need to push out those ancient ineffectual Dems in charge.

Don't stop at abolishing ICE, just abolish the whole damn country at this point. Give the land back, pay out anything in the coffers as reparations at home and abroad, just shut it down.

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

Maybe - just maybe - our country is too dumb to be playing with lasers. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture. Understood instantly what it meant.

We obtained the Dilley detention center’s 911 call logs. Among them are pleas for help for toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman who passed out and an elementary-school-aged girl having seizures.

Elbows up! youtu.be/-VeYorpdE34?...

Amazon just told you to pay for a P.O. box if you don't want to be stalked.

New favorite conspiracy theory unlocked.

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

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-...
