C'mon Jesus we got posting to do

#Thiel #Objection is already active on #Shitlerdotcom, flagging stories in real time while investigations are pending.

someone *please* take the word "slam" away from alleged journalists, I can't fucking take it anymore.

Absolute shocker of a rights grab - academics may want to push back hard

Cis people should never, ever, ever, EVER be put in charge of any program designed for trans people. They will always move to put up walls, gatekeep, and limit accessibility all in the name of "helping" us.

Hey did everyone see Clavicular get his ass beat after he challenged a cancer survivor leftist to a jujitsu match, who said as he was choking him out ‘this is for all the bullshit I gotta watch on my fucking feed’… we need more of this not more podcasts

A podcast mic is the socio-cultural equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg believed that appeasing Russia by weakening NATO's eastern flank could avoid Russia invading Ukraine in 2022. Stoltenberg believes that Russia, a nuclear power, invades countries because it is "threatened" by them. Stoltenberg is an idiot.

While people are enthusiastically sharing IRGC propaganda in the form of Lego videos, Iranian people are 46 days into a complete internet shut down and the regime is still executing protesters. But sure, edgy lego videos I guess…

WH40K: Rogue Trader is a mom game. You take your ungrateful companions on field trips and they say "no I don't like this planet, I want a different planet" even though we have planets at home.

Israel destroyed 17 cameras monitoring UN peacekeeping facilities in Naqoura yesterday

Nobody could have predicted this, except for all the people who did.

Two things that people were saying for months prior to this current war that received a lot of ridicule only to turn out to be completely correct

One of the oldest Jewish communities in the world.

Let's use this article as a chance to talk about all the other Signal security settings you might want to update if you're worried about the cops getting your data. See thread 🧵 (Full guide at: activistchecklist.org/signal/) #signal #activism #digitalsecurity

One of the trends we're always tracking is the increase in state repression. This use of grand juries to try to silence dissent is concerning. If you don't know, federal grand juries happen with a lot of secrecy. The govt appears to be using them to try to unmask online dissenters.

Anyone using Amazon’s services condones these atrocities and is complicit

I don’t know how people keep forgetting that workers rights were entirely written in blood and the capital class had to be threatened with violence before they agreed to things like 8 hour working days and 2 day weekends.

Get ready to learn to install solar panels buddy

He'll outlive his usefulness as a political bulwark and wrecking ball (fast approaching this point) and then he'll be worth a lot more to the far right project as a sacrifice to the center's inevitable sense of self-congratulatory complacency.

Internal dissent against trump has never been greater, unfortunately said dissent is coming from actual fucking nazis who think he’s insufficiently antisemitic

it can always get worse, and critically, it can always get stupider

NEW: WebinarTV, a site that scrapes Zoom webinars without permission, has downloaded and posted Zoom Webinars for anonymous addiction recovery meetings, support groups for caregivers and people who suffer from chronic illness, and a meeting of nudists. They then get turned into AI podcasts.

There is one universal rule. Whenever Moscow is thrown out of a country, mass celebrations happen.

I've been smiling at this compilation of joyous scenes in Budapest yesterday - feeling a little bad for not having been there myself, unlike three of my siblings. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrY3...

One of the reasons I’ve found the “just chuck them out of the EU already” people so annoying is because I know many dedicated Hungarian democrats who’ve paid substantial personal and professional costs over the last decade and a half in what must have seemed like a hopeless fight.

It's a true shame, where have tact and civility in doing war crimes gone to?

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

to this day, the concept of peanut butter & jelly is thoroughly alien and terrifying to me generally peanut butter is weird and just takes over your entire mouf

I am never forgetting at the first anime con I ever went to in like 2007, there was someone selling a print of Light and L from Death Note naked and dramatically reaching toward each other across a flower and the artist put a big sticky note on it that said "NOT YAOI - SYMBOLISM"

This two week period also brings us into the time period that analysts have pinpointed as being when the first signs of the Hormuz closure would be felt in shipping disruption to the west. The way I choose to read that is another 2 wks of hope & hype to keep money from fleeing until the last second
