straight up death to the usa and israel. there is no modicum of justice, no possible future with peace or safety while they exist in their present form. this is the essence of their being, and they need to fall.

Every single outlet that uncritically recites Israel's self-designation of "preemptive strikes" should be permanently shut down for good. Straight up. Definitionally no such thing as a "preemptive" attack when the country being attacked had no plan nor indication of planning to attack first.

it's a shame that the losers of an election have to be publicly beaten in front of whooping crowds then left in stocks for people to piss on, but british customs can seem a bit anachronistic, that's just the way it is yanno

glasgow: it's clear from transport scotland's wording they're bullshitting about seriously considering it, & making up the effects it would have, but it's worth registering that they should remove the woodside viaduct, as a step towards replacing the entire m8 www.pinpointcloud.co.uk/M8WoodsideVi...

lol of course it reflects his beliefs, but anyone who'd believe for a second that "we will remove environmental protections in favour of big business" is a direct quote should delegate all of their reading and critical thinking to someone else

Israel has been dumping herbicides throughout southern Lebanon as part of a concerted ecocide campaign to render the region uninhabitable. This has been going on for months with Lebanese journalists & environmentalists regularly reporting on it. The BBC: we don’t know why the Israelis are doing it

this was FASCINATING if you like language stuff

people here moaning that the litter in glasgow is so bad because of thoughtless manky bastards, and it should be said: most litter isn't caused by littering. and even most of it that is can be prevented by political choice.

our kittens every morning at the door of their room:

obviously the reasons are terrible, it affects a lot of other things and the increased cost is not going where the resources have been robbed from, but gd this constant focus on consumer electronics: in itself, tbh, a moratorium on new pcs, phones and gaming consoles would be a good thing.

I'm just not very up on "classic" scifi so I've spent years assuming when you all talk about "butlerian jihad" that it's about forcing the straights to confront the extrinsic & dependent nature of their gender identities or something. I do know better now but I'll probs continue to read it like this

honestly still thinking how inspired I am by last week's oglaf

This is today, and RAMFEL and others have guidance on completing the (depressing and racist) consultation here.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

yer da thinks the new morrissey song makes some good points

[2028] GO AWAY. THERE IS NO AI AND THERE NEVER WAS!

Sorry but this is clickbait and it's disappointing to see it go viral here. It's a meme that has largely been popularised by the far right to galvanise opposition to actual renewable projects. Solar on buildings and car parks is great but no serious analyst thinks it's an adequate alternative.

New Epstein emails show Peter Mandelson secretly advising JPMorgan’s CEO on how to fight Labour’s 2009 bankers’ bonus tax - even suggesting he “mildly threaten” the Chancellor. Mandelson was Business Secretary at the time. A year later, he was seeking work with JPM.

okay absolute props actually to @thekatebutch.bsky.social stepping up on drag race in a butcher's apron covered in blood saying fuck showing pride in the uk (and being punished for it by rupaul who just wants patriotic kitsch and bland mascots)

have you checked on your children lately? do they seem... fluffier than usual? panting a bit? maybe just suspiciously happy to see you?

And capitalism in the last ~140 of those years depends on them. Unsatisfied and unable to expand with just a domestic class of dispossessed labourers, it created a global class and a system of extraction and hyperexploitation that must be violently policed, and which is perceived as natural.

All of this has also been mooted by the Labour Party with the possible exception of the camp; they think it is more sensible to use our existing network of military bases that have been ruled unsuitable for human life.

there are always lessons to learn internationally on a broad scale, but I do think, perhaps, that for most people outside the usa it is not helpful either for mental health or for organisation/resistance to have a constant play by play of every thing that happens on the frontlines of fascism there.

Once again tapping my sign: ICE exist in the UK 🚨 They have had arrest powers since 2000. This government - not a hypothetical future one - is working harder than ever before to raid homes and businesses.

doing the "what is the least unethical way to feed cats?" rabbithole again, and god searching that just brings up so much "the ethical thing to do is avoid byproducts, you should feed them basically human food and have an entire environmentally devastating livestock industry devoted to yr cats" shit

having fun in kinning park @replacethem8.bsky.social

to be clear to everyone talking this shit, sedition and subversion and treason are excellent things and it's incredibly embarrassing to talk about them as if they're self-evidently bad. the problem with littlejohn, the mail etc. is much simpler, it's just that they're fash cunts.

“The Scottish Government would never enter into a space partnership with a nation like Russia so why is it looking to co-operate with the UAE, which is wreaking havoc across North Africa and the Middle East?”

CN: Traitors spoilers As the head of antifa, I would like to offer my sincere thanks to the cops and cop-adjacent players on the Traitors for their tireless work moulding public perception of the Met and the institution of policing.

I mean they currently have a fascist coalition in power, and thinking russia is the primary source of propaganda in the world is already failing at media literacy, so let's not get too excited

surely all the anti-trans lobbyists who are passionate about lgb spaces and rights will step in and fill the funding now that stonewall are fighting the good fight against the t?

hades is a bit behind the times, ferryman is a gender neutral title

As governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney blocked Venezuela from accessing $1 billion of its own gold after coordinated pressure from Washington and the far-right Venezuelan opposition, directly aiding a US-led regime change effort and worsening a humanitarian crisis.

there may be many reasons for sympathy with usamerican civilians right now but come on, loss of global influence as many are mourning isn't one. the usa as superpower is likely the most malevolent force in the world's history and in itself, its downfall is obviously good and overdue.

My mother was a refugee of the Salvadoran civil war. The Americans backed the fascists that took over the country. Now Salvador is run by a pro yankee crypto dictator who has built the largest concentration camp in the western hemisphere. That, is American intervention.

this would also be the successor and coconspirator of the president installed by the coup supported by then-secretary of state hillary clinton, for those keeping track of the imperial continuity.

Well fuck. Death to America I guess. Attack the war machine. Celebrate every dead US soldier. Sabotage empire whereever and however you can. These motherfuckers may have the guns and the power but they aren't the only ones who can act.

The sheer cognitive dissonance it takes for USians to shriek "ACAB but the poor widdle imperial goons had no choice and respect the troops and and and" always belied such a rank, foul hypocrisy. Cops are bad because they hurt USians, who are people, but soldiers hurt foreigners, so who cares.

sorry to qt spectator garden party types, but I think it's fair to say - with zero hyperbole - that if you do not both intellectually and instinctively understand the hatred for starmer on a profound level, you are genuinely unqualified to ever write anything about politics.

person arguing in the local facebook group for unlimited free public space for cars: everyone I know who drives to the southside is working class! same person one post later: my working class business owner friends ---

everyone loves the 69 and 420 numbers, but back when I tweeted a version of this on the more-bad site, I got exactly 4/16/64 replies/retweets/likes, and THEN later got 16/64/256 genuinely beautiful

I know this is a fun zinger for a racist cunt but I promise, you do not ever have to hand it to the french judiciary

obviously capital is dead labour which vampire-like lives only by sucking living labour, but also, it is vampire-like in that by so sucking it makes everything suck.

all films with anthropomorphic animals contain a deep tension over carnivores. do sentient beings live in perpetual terror? is there a distinction between sentient and livestock or prey animals? somehow, the muppet christmas carol manages to extend this existential nightmare to plants and veg

Oh good, I see people are excavating and reanimating the "100 companies = 71% of emissions" factoid from the graveyard of critical thinking that it led everyone to last time. I promise, it obscures far more than it illuminates, and any obvious takes you think derive from it are bad. (🧵, if we must)
