She's treating a calculator with more humanity than she does half her userbase.

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

Greta Thunberg is held prisoner by Israel at a jail in the Negev. Read what Sweden’s embassy in Israel reports are the conditions of her detention ⬇️ Now just imagine: if Israel treats a world-famous Swedish activist this way, how badly are its prisons abusing Palestinians? 1/

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition. A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

If you're in Illinois and facing criminal charges from protesting ICE, or if you were attacked by ICE or law enforcement supporting them, I might be able to represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

In Portland, Oregon,(DHS) and (ICE) used pepper spray on the breathing hole of a peaceful protester who was wearing a blow-up frog costume.

border patrol shot a woman in chicago plain daylight and that story is getting less traction on here than folks making mildly transphobic jokes about kristi noem being denied a bathroom liberal snark is an infestation

Ooooh, yeah, I talk about this one a lot. It's on my hard drive at this very moment.

In the wake of Donald Trump's security directive aimed at criminalizing anti-fascism, we can expect to see federal agents use entrapment strategies to attempt to disrupt social movements. Read about how earlier movements have experienced and dealt with entrapment: crimethinc.com/entrapment

It is another week once again, and so it is my duty to inform you all: Today is Friday, in California

I have a friend who keeps complaining that in recent years nothing smells right anymore so I sent him an article titled “COVID-19 Damage to Sense of Smell Long-Lasting and Subtle,” and my friend replied that he’s sure that in his case there’s another explanation.

lol

AFAIK Wafrn uses Blacksky's relay for its ATProto side, which is great. So even if you're not in Blacksky, you're probably benefiting from it anyway. Gonna have to throw some money Blacksky's way when I can.

Excellent thread.

You may have heard my arguments against the Electoral College before. Here’s a new one the Founders never anticipated: If the President is elected by popular vote, he probably wouldn’t selectively punish entire states for voting against him.

It's occurring to me the most unrealistic thing about some villains is they have any sense of style what-so-fucking-ever.

Keep Circulating The Tapes, Copy Those Floppies, Seed Your Torrents.

As you look at CBS News, Bari Weiss and your Paramount+ account, a reminder: Torrents still work. Use a VPN, they're cheaper than Paramount+. The Pirate Bay dot org has never gone away. It's not selfish and it's not immoral. In the face of blatant fascism, it is unquestionably ethical.

Hollarsmith was previously targeted by the federal government after he and others with No More Deaths were hit with bullshit charges for their humanitarian work by the AZ-Mexico border after they attempted to rescue several migrants that were in distress and lost in the desert. Fuck the borders.

Considering what has been generally agreed to so far, the terms must be pretty absurd.

The 'WAFFLES' thing is even more upsetting when you realise Jesse Singal came into a place where people didn't hate Trans people and he started yelling 'WHY DON'T YOU HATE TRANS PEOPLE' like he's literally the 'WAFFLES' person in the analogy ffs

Everyone: “Better than Twitter, no Nazis!” Bluesky: “Better than Twitter? No, Nazis!”

*Golgo 13 Intensifies*

[ID: An image of Marvel's Red Skull, a character who was a Nazi, whose head looks like little more than a blood-red skull with wild eyes staring out. Text says, "Conservatives, what is stopping you from looking like this! Nazi salute. Remove your skin. Remove your skin. Remove your skin. /end ID]

This is why I love Behind the Bastards. Because it turns out that this is entirely correct. So many of the famous Nazis were just the weirdest losers of all time. They basically whined their way into power the whole way, and it worked because no one could believe it could possibly be happening.

Dogshit. I should've said dogshit.

"Hoosier Jews for Choice" is the most prominent suit we're aware of where a specifically Jewish religious freedom exemption has been successful so far: www.aclu-in.org/en/press-rel... Unfortunately, that has never been the case for TST, mostly for their own fault: queersatanic.com/why-did-the-...

I gotta say that is a very compelling sales pitch.

Salem makes really cool art that promotes femme trans boy representation, a category of trans masc rep that doesn't get enough love or respect. Also, he's just a cool dude. If you can, please give him your support.

"AI" is absolutely and ONLY a marketing term, and at this point if it's being used, the intent behind it is to overpromise to the consumer/end user on the program's actual capabilities. And, of course, none of the "AI" is actually intelligent in any meaningful way.

See, the thing is, Singal did violate the TOS, unambiguously. An then Bluesky changed it to accommodate him. You know this to be the case; you were there just as much as I was. So you're telling a lie. And you know it to be a lie. And that kind of makes you look like a shithead. I'm just saying.

Food is good. People need food. Help this kind person eat. 🍜

Also brought me to tears. I can’t tell you how many friends I’ve lost for supporting Palestine throughout my life, since I was very, very young. And now to see this? Old white grannies and grandpas getting dragged away for this cause? I can’t even articulate how it feels.

Wow, the University of Washington's Psych 201 class does *not* play go fuckin Huskies Nazi UW students fuck off

So, a man goes to the doctor and says, "I am The Great Clown Pagliacci." The doctor takes a look at him and sits down. "Jesus Christ," says the doctor, "that's depressing."

I have now caught up with Heartstrings and wait patiently for the next page. Mostly patiently. It would be difficult to explain why I made this silly edit but I assure you, everyone in my gaming group fuckin' lost it.
