I think all Americans should be fitted with a shock collar which activates whenever they try to opine about geopolitics

I am sending my beloved son Thaddington Gogglesnibble to Oxford where he will try to eat a computer and forget what a number is. He will subsequently get a job suppressing pedophilia accusations from the royal family for a salary of £1 gillion

while even the BBC is reporting this, somehow the nominally leftist german taz wants to tell us that during a genocide there is no systematic sexual violence against palestinians by israel

It is over for the genocide deniers. Even the BBC is now splashing on the UN commission of inquiry concluding that Israel has committed genocide. Those who supported Israel's onslaught: You backed a genocide. You will never scrub the shame away.

Everybody gamely says “Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast” instead of “the regime officially turned the major channel into state-controlled media just as it began its violent crackdown on any opposition or dissident messages.”

"We have to cancel kristallnacht 2.0 because the guy was one of the people we were grooming to take part in it" is a heck of a twist to be sure

Wild how political alliance with Zionism sweeps all sorts of wild statements about Jews under the table

there's a video out there of Charlie Kirk calling for trans women to be "[taken] care of" "the way things used to be taken care of in the 1950s or 60s" btw now i don't know if people connected the dots, but he's referring to lynching! or perhaps just the ordinary rape & murder of trans women

charlie kirk has received infinitely more sympathy and support from liberals than every single trans person, immigrant, and palestinian combined

I thought people were exaggerating, but no, it really is the case that liberal politicians posting platitudes about the Nazi Youth youtuber never posted anything about Melissa Hortman

Some Fucking Nazi: *dies* People Who Accepted the Genocide of Gaza and Police Brutality and Murders of Trans and Queer People as Unavoidable Parts of Society and Insisted For Decades You Simply Must Shrug Off For the Sake of Some Imaginary Sense of Harm Reduction: violence is never acceptable

It’s gonna be so weird watching establishment dems be performatively sadder about this than they were about the colleague and her husband and dog who got shot and killed

Everyone who cheered when Rittenhouse murdered those guys and cheered some more when he got away with it seem very upset right now

What if, and hear me out here, what if “the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a fascism is a good guy with a fascism” is a terrible idea actually

I’m genuinely kind of surprised that Johannes Leak hasn’t taken to using AI slop for his bigoted scrawls. It’d really line up nicely with his whole anti-humanity philosophy

absolutely wild to niemöller at a person from one of the groups in the poem to argue that it’s good actually to let them come for some people because it’s a tactical victory. “i read niemöller & solved the trolley problem the omelas way” is what a surprising number of people sound like right now.

Tom Lehrer made all of his music 100% public domain so if seeing people sad about his death makes you want to check them out… it’s free. he wanted you to share them. tomlehrersongs.com

How come whenever people are bragging about their “Great Genes” or whatever, they’re always talking about something boring like hair or skin and not something cool like toe thumbs or webbed fingers

“We got a reaction out of everyone therefore it was a worthwhile endeavor” is literally the logic of a subway masturbator

I generally despise Australia and most Australians, as it’s a backwater of racist authoritarian thugs. However, comparing the amount of people who refuse to celebrate “Australia Day” with the Yank treatlerites who pretend to be anti-genocide while celebrating their genocide holidays? Not so bad.

Kurat võtku, miks mitte ühtki usakas saab aru, et nõukogude liidi propaganda ja reaalsus ei olnud sama asi “Igaühel oli samad õigused, olenemata nende etnilisest kuuluvusest“ “Charlie Brown Had Hoes” poliitilisest diskursuses

"Criticise liberalism? Must be MAGA. I am an American from the only country on earth and my brain is made of literal dogshit"

Calling him the "UK's Chief Rabbi" makes so little sense, you might as well be calling him "the Jewish Pope". It's intentionally being done to imply a doctrinal centrality that doesn't exist, to silence erase inconvenient Liberal and Progressive and even dissenting Orthodox Jewish voices.

the concept of “denouncing” has to be the most transparently dumb shit in politics. are words magic to you. are you Ged Sparrowhawk

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza. Truly an atrocity built on atrocity. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

It’s somehow still more controversial to be against this than to be for it

Here's how you remove Google AI from your mobile devices.

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought

the "where are all the protests against trump" people became the "these protests against trump are bad optics" people so quickly you may have missed it

It always comes back to this. Whatever pretensions we may have about the political system under which we live, Palestine is the issue on which every contradiction unravels, each hypocrisy is laid bare, and all values are rendered contingent and expendable—with our leaders' willing participation.

I really dislike this smug, disingenuous, baseless type of critique of Greta Thunberg. For all the millions of narcissists, egotists, charismatic villains and disrupters, she’s a bleeding heart with the courage to take action beyond words. www.smh.com.au/world/middle...

No one does it like autistics goddamn

Every article about the inevitability of AGI

In many ways the US govt is just acting like it always has, only more brazenly. It’s always screwed its allies and its disadvantaged and done deals with supposed enemies. It’s always been ready to crack down on people and movements inconvenient to its agenda. We’re just seeing it more clearly now.

I have no problem saying that Greta Thunberg is braver than I’ll ever be. Admit it instead of deepening your cowardice and insisting that she’s done something selfish when she’s done something truly selfless.

Always remember:

In 2010, Israeli forces attacked a Gaza aid flotilla, killing 10 people. In the aftermath, the Obama administration blocked UN efforts for an investigation, Biden defended the attack, and Chuck Schumer condemned the United Nations and defended Israel.

I’m taking over as the menswear guy. Men should rotate through the same four band t-shirts for 35 years. Replace the shirts with identical shirts if the holes in them get big or you get too fat for them

Reminder that much of the conventional wisdom around what MLK believed with regard to tactics originates with a fabricated quote www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/m...

it's absolutely important to couch every statement from this guy in the context that he hired a person based solely on the credential that the guy strangled one of my neighbors to death. no background in software or finance, just murder.

Gaza freedom flotilla the Madleen has been intercepted and its crew now in custody, kidnapped by the Israelis. We demand their immediate release!

Seems like most people on here are anti-evil. That's the kind of insular groupthink that loses elections :/
