I deleted the thread on emotional crash outs because I can say it more succinctly like this: Check on your emotionally reserved friends. A lot of us don't express distress openly and many people mistake that for invulnerability or hypercompetence. I find that especially true among trans people.

[Cypress Hill voice] Here is something you can't understand How I could

washington you’re alright

this is what I actually believe; read blindsight

Bowl and Pitcher, Washington

you can use a coffee mug a few times without washing it

i find the LLM "capabilities" debate to be almost uniquely poisoned. people who claim that LLMs cannot do things that they verifiably can arguing with people claiming that LLMs can do things that they verifiably cannot.

I will venmo any reporter $2,000 to give trump a map of the middle east and ask him to identify iran

I have never seen a politician more directly copy this speech in my life

There is a serious chance we are going to elect two socialists into federal office from a red state this year but keep talking your loser shit with books and no action.

the zookeeper was also taught to read using three-cueing so you have to constantly dangle your keys in front of the actual argument you're making because they're only actually comprehending every 5th word

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.

definitely nobody would be interested in biometric data, mapped over time, of someone who is sitting directly next to the president of the united states while he's planning a war

I choose love over hate. And bigger love when love comes. If you're unsure about trans people, Chiitan isn't asking you to understand. Just watch over them kindly. Trans folks simply want to laugh, love & grow with those who light up their world. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

so rude

I know that everyone here hates the “Donald Trump started a war and jacked up your gas prices” messaging but “Donald Trump started a war and jacked up your gas prices” is likely the single thing about this nightmare that will most affect the day to day lives of a lot of people in the US

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

I didn't know about Sumac until a couple years ago when I got some for a hummus recipe. It's excellent for that. It reminds me of pickled plums (umeboshi). I might have Zaatar but I'm not sure how to use it

war profiteering and betting on wars is probably one of the most evil despicable things a human can do. genuinely demonic shit

Pretty wild if this is why Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was targeted

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

my problem with these takes, is it's like imagine if you were being attacked by a tiger at the zoo, and the zookeeper was over there kinda halfheartedly going "hey. come on now. get off him" and you went HEY WHAT THE FUCK! and the zookeeper went "uh don't oyu think you should be angry at the tiger?"

fortunately much of white collar work does not exist on the manifold of truthful statements

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

We're no more than a few hours away from the next phase of digital propaganda: unverified videos of "liberated people celebrating" will go viral. Many of these videos will later be revealed to have predated the illegal war, or be entirely unrelated to current events Upshot: verify before amplifying

4/9. The Iranian operation in 2020 was designed to help Donald Trump get elected.

“Direct your anger at Trump. Not the Dems” As of right now, the 2 Dem leaders are: -not in favor of abolishing ICE and DHS -not in favor of an arms embargo against Israel -not in favor of lifting the embargo against Cuba -not in favor of leaving Venezuela alone

📢 New SpOrgs coming soon! 📢 SpOrgs Volume 1.5 is a cute little eight-pager that will be working its way throughout Spokane in the near future. Look for us at all the usual spots! 🐸 🐸 🐸

“you’re everything people hate about leftists” and it’s just fucking compassion

anyone choosing this moment to be all "here's what you get with republicans: bombs in the middle east" needs to grow up rapidly, considering what the last dem admin did in gaza & their current support for trump's actions right now. this is what you get with (wholly bipartisan) american imperialism

No doubt Tulsi Gabbard is drafting her resignation letter as we speak.

And for my friends of Iranian descent, I am so sorry you have to keep going through this shit over and over again.

Israel has closed all the crossings into Gaza and reimposed total siege.

This is one of the videos the NYT has verified and links to in their reporting. NYT: "Video verified by [NYT] showed ... rescuers digging through the rubble with building cranes and shovels, and piles of bloodied, dusty backpacks." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/w...

What’s wrong, Congress? You’ve barely even touched your checks and balances

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.
