My last contract ended in December, I've been unable to drum up more work since and I'm still fighting with unemployment to get them to pay me, so I'm back to begging a bit. I've covered everything this month except my bank fees, phone, and insurance which comes to ~$120. ko-fi.com/morealias

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

This may upset you but if you cancel your subscription all you will do is hurt a news organization that is evil in a time when they’re struggling more than ever

How in the fuck is your "AI slop" going to do that you drugged out fascist? By which I mean, how is it going to differentiate between male and female voters and "lessen the power" of one class in favour of the other without simply oppressing both in favour of the rich? Oh, right, that's the scam.

Giant sippy straws.

hey what if we made the entire government and the entire economy out of corruption

So let me get this straight ... 1. US bombs Iran 2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate 3. Russia gives Iran targeting info 4. Oil price shoots WAY up 5. US unsanctions Russian oil

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy. We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

Lucifer has a point

The sensible ones for me...

Are you marketing your channel to middle schoolers on purpose?

No wonder I slept all day yesterday... ... it was daylight savings today. (No, there was no correlation, I'm still recovering from a nasty illness three weeks ago and my sleep schedule is still completely out of whack.)

Sorcery? Or is it SAUCERY?!?!?! Eh? Eh? I'll see myself out...

We should never ever forget why they did it

Politicians crying that they're just "protecting the children" while doing the exact opposite is nothing new, but if this becomes law it could effectively end the careers of some of you favorite queer creators (including mine!)

i'm not an economist but if 900 people can afford to fund $3,000 checks to damn near everyone else in america and still be insanely fuckin rich afterwards maybe they have too much fuckin money

With no context, how are you starting the week? (This is how I started the week, and the previous week, and the week before that...)

She's like an old samurai whose great battles are behind her but every once in a while she kills a man with piece of paper just to prove a point

“Google is so ubiquitous and it is so easy to use, it's pretty helpful to get rid of the worst, most obvious stuff. You're peeling off the first layer of information that's easy to find," EFF’s @thorinklosowski.com told BBC News of Google’s Results About You.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

I wear pretty much only black t-shirts an have two blacks cats, a grey cat, and a white and black cat. Guess which one wants to snuggle on me the most?

So Arc Raiders is malware, basically. If you use Discord either uninstall the game or stop using Discord because that "game" is accessing way too much data it shouldn't, even reading your DMs and sending them to the devs. Super fun thing to find when Discord wants access to everyone's IDs.

Me getting ready for breakfast.

I know the Melania movie is in no small part Bezos trying to curry favor with Trump but it also has to be emphasized again that another thing going on is a lot of people mistaking a narrow victory in 2024 as total cultural victory where everyone loves them now and they’re very popular

NEW STORY: Trump admits he was the one who found the video and asked that it be posted from his Truth Social account. Refuses to apologize.

That would make him the main character.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

If you see this, post a character that starts with E.

🧵Your regular reminder that releasing children from federal custody is not an endpoint—for Minnesota or for the child. Kidnapping and detention by federal agents is a deep trauma and for all the resiliency of kids, recovery from this atrocity cannot possibly be swift. 1/2

There is a gaping hole in the rule of law: when a federal agent violates the U.S. Constitution, it is increasingly difficult to sue them for damages. So EFF supports new statutes to fill this hole, including California S.B. 747. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Another thing we've learned from the Epstein files: The reason billionaires are all in on using AI to write their emails the fact they're illiterate as shit.

They might have gotten a few comments about that image choice. Looks like it’s been updated to a still image from the video:

It’s in local media www.fox13memphis.com/news/federal...

I for one would not turn the whole weight of the US government against a 5 year-old named "Rabbit" with a rabbit hat now known worldwide out of spite.

Scenes from a personalist regime: the president speaks directly with the security agents expected to generate a justification for his taking control over elections

Periodic reminder that what's marketed as 'youth social media bans' actually amounts to requiring people to provide personally identifying information in order to access whatever content a given government disfavours.

CBP shot this woman and then defamed her using every means at their disposal. In a just world they would have to turn their whole yearly budget over to her for punitive damages

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

What a complete and total piece of shit.

What should alarm us about the Epstein files isn’t just the appalling details, which are horrific and criminal. It’s that here is a growing sense that there is small number of elite who see themselves as above the law.

I’m sure this is fine
