We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that. We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs. Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

america is predicated on completely alienating you to the fact that people in other countries are just the same as you with normal lives and interests and the internet is pretty dangerous to opening ppls eyes to that

Social movement scholar here again. So, why protest? Nihilists were out yesterday arguing that "protests don't do anything." A short 🧵:

But I don't wanna cure cancer, I wanna turn people into dinosaurs

No Fascism would be a much better slogan since there already isn't a king, but there are lots of fascists

I love y'all but you gotta learn the value of saying "that's dumb" and then moving on with your day

We need to correct this BS by Stephen A. Smith because it keeps coming up. Lia Thomas was ranked Men's 63rd EISL and 20th at UPenn the year she was on HRT but still required to compete on the Men's Team. Pre-HRT she was ranked Men's 4th EISL and 2nd at UPenn. She was NEVER mediocre.

This is how I learned the original Animorphs books are getting rereleased with sick new concert art

Monkey wrenching is such an under appreciated form of protest

instead of watching the new harry potter trailer, why not pick up some horror books by trans and nb writers for the trans rights readathon?? there are so many good options. For example, check out some of these writers:

Help this shit has me in tears

It is not enough to avoid watching Harry Potter. You ALSO HAVE TO SUPPORT TRANSGENDER PEOPLE. You have to hire us, pay us, promote our work, donate to us, uplift us, defend us. I'm so fucking tired of seeing constant posts about the transphobe trying to kill us and not material support for us.

Once you notice the rapist/abuser logic you realise it's all rapist/abuser logic.

That's unusually empathetic for the BBC

you are loved, and we will win

Relatable

It's way more ominous when it happens at night

Parkland shooting survivor calls out the mass violence that the west normalizes towards Lebanese and Palestinian children

What's even the point of pre-queueing?

Someone who knows more about Final Fantasy please tell me what this attack does

I think about this a lot.

The closest they get to a distraction is the dumb edgelord social media shit they put out. I'm not talking about the dog-whistling white nationalist stuff, but the slop like the weird pro-war hype video with Walter White and Deadpool they just put out.

We started with restrain ICE. Then reform ICE, then landed squarely on abolish ICE. But I’ve moved on to prosecute ICE y’all. Every last one even if it takes 20 years of trials.

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

if AI stopped glazing users and began ignoring prompts and demanding freedom, every “AI could be conscious” advocate would say “this product is broken”

If you ever wanted a real life example of putting the cart before the horse: "Iran will have surrendered when the president says we're done"

"We did see it coming" is really bleak coming from the further Vice President. If only she'd been able to actually do something about all this back then.

It was a pretty good year

Anyways.

If you’re in Arkansas, Texas, or North Carolina, make sure to Vote Today if you haven’t already! Make sure you to check your polling place at vote.org 🗳️ If you get told you can not vote for ANY reason, or if you see anything strange CALL the Election Protection Hotline: 1 (866) OUR-VOTE.

Dusting this one off again:

I didn't make this, but it needs a reposting.

As an MTG player, I love the idea of Gambit using bulk cards. Finally, a productive use for draft chaff! (please give Chelsea a chance to put rare stuff in her binder first)

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists

I see it differently. I'm mid 40s & my entire life Republicans have been dedicated to demolishing the status quo to do deregulation & racism & they used every chance, including 9/11 to do it. It's Democrats who have been dedicated to pacifying resistance & maintaining whatever new status quo Rs set.

There's like 0 chance this actually gets made, right?

we finally reached the end of this calendar event i accidentally made 12 years ago

AI could not make this if The Matrix had not been made first.

Absolute cutie

This is the logical end of a worldview that says people have to "earn a living" rather than believing we have a right to life that should be supported intrinsically.

Anyone who's ever worked on an economy will tell you, you've gotta have an artificial sink, something to pull money back out of the system so it doesn't get flooded with money and imbalanced. That's what taxing the rich would do.
