uhhh oh my god

And I think part of the answer is that often it isn't about making anyone's lives better...it's about hurting people. Much of what is happening in the world is heartless people with undeserved authority indulging in cruelty, partly because it profits them...and partly because they just enjoy it.

"who's lives does this make better" is a great question to ask at all times to be quite honest.

@rentouljohn.bsky.social is in the independent saying that labour needs more far right whackjobs like shabana mahmood. at a certain point ppl need to come to terms with the fact that 'centrism' does not exist. these ppl are just far right nutters. mahmood's policies are just far right policies.

Since it was targeting children I would’ve assumed they used grok

Did they bomb a school because Claude told them it was a military target???

Nope. We don't have to do this. The courageous act would be to refuse. Jingoist slop like this is an enormous factor in why the US has been terrorizing the world for decades. There are no heroes bombing Iran.

What a time to be alive

Beds are a necessity of life! Help Lyra get a good night's rest 💕💸

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

Just this week: - Administration is caught hiding evidence Trump sexually assaulted a 13 year old - Pentagon demands AI companies allow it to use AI for mass surveillance and killer robots - Trump launches unconstitutional war against Iran - Pro-Trump oligarch buys CNN 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Yesterday I couldn't stop thinking about how we actually gave a criminal with dementia and no empathy the nuke codes. Twice. And here we are today.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

One of the moms of the families I’ve been delivering groceries to asked today if I’d be willing to accept something from her. And she came back with this beautiful flan she’d made to say thank you for helping us. I am crying. People are too kind. This is whom our government is forcing into hiding.

Related: If you know someone who's been doing a lot of mutual aid organizing, they might benefit from you paying for someone to help them get their home cleaned... because it's likely been a total mess for 3 months. 😊

Abolish this entire industry. bsky.app/profile/lole...

Abolish all these fucking gambling sites.

If you're arrested in Illinois protesting Trump's illegal war against Iran, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

I see it as a problem that the leader of the Senate Democrats supports attacking Iran, which is the situation behind all these windy words, leading to the conundrum of how Schumer can say he opposes something he likes (he's settled on 'it was done without explanation').

Fucking sucks being at the mercy of a bunch of pedophile leaders who are on the verge of death and have been bought and sold by a fascist oligarchical class that openly hates humanity.

OPERATION MY DADDY DIDN'T LOVE ME

let's talk about 'shamelessness'. @nickcohen.bsky.social is a sexual predator.

"Everyone is 12" theory going strong

"it's a distraction" needs to die as a concept when people are using it about bombing other countries, that is a completely dead claim at this point. Everything can't be a distraction fro everything else, they really just are horribly shitty idiots

Can't. Never had any. What you see is all there ever was.

These people are the enemies of humanity, it’s not more complex than this.

illegal use of force by every measure, domestic & international

Huh. He literally did the speech.

Just a reminder: instead of an actual diplomat, we sent Trump’s deeply compromised son-in-law as the lead negotiator to avert war with Iran. popular.info/p/deeply-con...

I'm furious at every single person who put this man back in office.

Is it maladjusted to effectively become every emotion you feel...and to just be utterly numb when there isn't something actively instigating an emotional response?

Like...mah dudes...do you realize how much less effort it is to just accept getting rejected from the jump? Or better yet, just leave women alone altogether if you aren't mature enough to take a basic L.

So wait...now there's a trend of men abandoning women on hikes when they're presumably out for a hiking date and don't get any action? Is this the more active version of the men who kick women out of their car in a random place when they get rejected?

Sometimes it's the little wins that mean the most.

Hey, it's not okay for anyone to coerce or manipulate you into sex you don't want, ever, for any reason 💜

...close enough

Ban "A.i." from all government service. This is hilarious and also deeply insulting racist bullshit. To hell with these wicked companies and their substandard, racist products.

LOOK THERE'S A LION OH MY GOD THERE'S A LION

This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.

An actual company (Anthropic) told me no, so now I'm going to pick a fight with children to feel big and strong

A lot of these Warner Bros assets are already starting out in a not great place due to 20 years of mismanagement and shitty mergers, even before the Ellisons walk through the door.

YES. MORE OF THIS ENERGY. FUCK THE FASH AND ALL WHO ENABLE THEM.

Check out this whole thread. Minneapolis and Saint Paul are still hurting. Folks are cautiously coming out of shelter, but need food to get them through until paychecks start up again or new jobs are found. ZCC is my mutual aid! Laura and I have been working together! Please share widely!

People who have busy lives...I don't know how the fuck you do it. If I have more than one thing I have to do in a day outside my normal routine, I go into full shutdown for like 48 hours afterwards.

Ayyye Big 4! That's definitely a good sign that we're about to explode. When a System literally manages all variety out of itself to extinction; it's a matter of WHEN not IF that System will fail.

Bluesky servers acting up? Suddenly I can read, buy can't seem to like or post.

Anybody else noticing BS eating their likes?

While some of the facts are in dispute, the picture that emerges from several bystander videos is that it was police — primarily Quakertown Police Chief Scott McElree — who seemingly escalated the confrontation. share.inquirer.com/fDkVIG
