I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Pues teniendo en cuenta que aliviaría la economía de una ciudad de 1.7 millones de personas nunca he visto una solución con tan pocas pegas, tú.

"Implicit in the 'let people enjoy things' mindset is the argument that people need mindless pleasure and distraction during terrible times. But what if those terrible times were a product of our dumbed-down, money-fixated culture in the first place?"

If your state is defined by nationhood, then it will always have this weakness. And, importantly, the libs will always insist on borders for people, but no borders for capital. And this sets the stage for a fascist takeover. Which is why socialists insisted on a worker’s state.

His idea, which the Nazi’s picked up and ran with, was to continuously “refine” the borders of a nation, in such a way that liberals could not disagree with, appealing to xenophobia and, of course, white supremacy, under the guise of “nationalism”, and squeeze tightly.

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

Charlie Chaplin’s final speech in “The Great Dictator” is full of immensely quotable phrases, but perhaps none that I love as much as his description of fascists as “machine men with machine minds and machine hearts”

Been trying to explain why economy increasingly feels like it's running wholly on rich people passing each other same bag of money - innovation is stalled, unemployment is rising, but stock tickers are still somehow going up. This example captures the current state of our economy perfectly.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

“AI” isn’t a tool or technology or even a cluster of technologies with a misleading name. It’s the infrastructure at the foundation of a form of capitalism dependent on data brokering. We should be teaching our students about this and not teaching them about “responsible” use.

"You may worry too much about these customers you can't see, which shrinks your idea."

Interesting information environment these miserable nazi dipshits created for themselves. Like, literally any video of himself trump sees could be spliced with an AI slop interlude of him saying absolutely wild shit and there's a good chance he'll repost it without even noticing.

do you really like linux or is it part of a hyper independence trauma response from a childhood full of abuse

Reality & Truth have no obligation to be politically neutral. (How weird would that be given how many positions that would cover over the history of ideologies?) This is the same reason "the media" can accurately report the truth about our administration and 90% of the coverage makes them look bad.

BOYCOTTS WORK, BABY now please re-hire the employees you fired for being Right Too Early

Creo recordar que también lo hace Horizon Zero Dawn. Elisabet Sobek le dice a Ted Faro algo así como: «Hacé lo que se te da bien y pagales a los que hacen el trabajo».

Small upcycling project from some time ago - my gloves were stained and I decided to salvage them this way. Super fun to do!

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪 Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students. I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

“Negative space” is a good description for this kind of ideology. I’d argue this kind of belief system is designed to confuse and evade normies, revel in one’s own alienation and disillusionment

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

I recommend this whole bundle, but like, Red Strings Club for 2.99? That’s something you should go play if you haven’t yet.

Wow. Fascinating to contemplate an offline life.

Censoring, and especially making noncon/underage art illegal also literally endangers victims. When antis report artwork, where no real person is experiencing trauma, it clogs moderation teams. NCMEC and other orgs don’t care about art. It doesn’t identify real kids. It doesn’t stop predators.

Lo malo del temita de Trump, las embarazadas y el paracetamol no es las pocas embarazadas que le harán caso y dejarán de tratarse el dolor, sino la cantidad de hombres que pondrán mala cara si sus mujeres se toman uno o se lo prohibirán directamente porque "le estás haciendo daño al bebé"

Asesinato homófobo en Cáceres: Jonathan, nicaragüense de 25 años que vivía allí desde hacía tres, fue atacado el domingo en plena avenida entre las 8:00 y 8:30 a.m. Cinco jóvenes de 21 a 29 años fueron detenidos. Hoy, un amigo confirmó en Canal Extremadura la motivación: lo mataron por ser gay.

El derecho al aborto libre no se está aplicando en este país. Es como papel mojado. Si los médicos nos niegan el acceso al tratamiento que por derecho nos pertenece, nos están negando el derecho a la sanidad.

Absolutely 100% this. If they give up citizenship (which is what they have to do in the US to stop paying taxes) we also win.

They built this technology with this use case in mind.

ticketmaster and live nation have done insane amounts of damage to live music, straight up stealing from artists and controlling every facet of the process to line their pockets. it’s so expensive now to just go check out some live music on a whim and the artist isn’t seeing a penny more than before

just learned about the content warning that open Silent Hill f and this feels like it comes from a parallel world where AAA games took on a whole different meaning for "mature" damn. more of this approach please

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

I'm doing some casual ✨narratology✨ (the study of storytelling) reading while thinking about D&D, and Y'ALL I know I hammer on about this but TTRPGs are absolutely buckwild narratively. Let me explain: 🧵

A petición popular (lo han pedido cero personas, qué dices) voy a contar una historia pintoresca de mi pueblo pintoresco, porque me he acordado hoy. En mi pueblo hay un barrio llamado Violín que es medio... peculiar. No voy a criticar porque el mío también déjalo que bulla. Pues en ese+

Can’t explain it but of course they want to take away one of the only painkillers that’s safe for pregnancy, a condition that causes weird and unusual pains. these people WANT pregnancy to be a punishment and handicap. they want to control.
