to all the flaccid institution worshiping 'moderates' on here:

Someone at the party handed this guy the aux and he started playing István Márta's "Doom. A sigh". The vibes are in shambles. I repeat the vibes are in shambles.

The main thing to understand about abortion ban exceptions do not exist. They are ornamental. They’re like plastic fruit. They are not meant to be used, they’re just there to make the ban look reasonable. bsky.app/profile/jbou...

Me *being handed a joint for the very first time*: Let me hit this thing corncob style.

tech world has a demonstrably destructive problem of lacking oversight. It's an industry falsely held up by hubris, truly held up by necessity. Holding the rest of the world hostage because they monopolized what are now essential functions. They don't care because we are literally test subjects.

i love living in a world where we have these fucking stupid idiots thrown in our faces as if they're geniuses and the only thing they ever do is shit the bed

I'm glad people CAN purchase LGBTQIA+ merch from big stores these days, but as an LGBTQIA+ business owner who staffs queer people, if you have the spare moment to look for queer small business in June, 100% of that money goes toward queer survival, versus a 10% tax write off for big corporations.

Thinking about last year when I complained about people spending $25 to go to sold out showings of Oppenheimer in IMAX 70mm and being on their phones for most of it and getting responses of “um actually it’s fine because some people get bored and their ADHD means they can’t pay attention that long”

Been repeating "you're pretty much just like, not good at hanging out. the vibes are iffy" to myself all day, lol

800,000 imprisoned people in the US produce $10 billion of value each year through their labor. $2 billion for private industry. The state of Alabama alone makes $450 million off the labor of incarcerated workers. We have a word for this. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Trump facing a consequence is like fusion power, always just over the horizon

I thought understanding what private equity actually is might help me better comprehend my feeling that the world is being hollowed out and lo and behold it did. www.vox.com/the-goods/20...

yelling at people about this stuff actually works (see also: nfts) the seemingly inevitable AI art dystopia doesn’t have to be real, not if we don’t let it

...while fighting tooth and nail against bare minimum living wages for the creatives (writers, actors, directors, animators) who make their company and their execs astronomically rich... and being part of the industry attempts to break the WGA by pushing writers into homelessness.

Been going through a Jelly fish era, you could say.

Yay, there’s video: variety.com/2024/tv/news...

Like many Palestinians, I have lost faith in the international community. But I was emotional watching South Africa lay bare Israel’s crimes at the ICJ. For the first time, our pain was taken seriously, and our call for justice was honored.

For super Itty bitty artists like me and my music partner, there's no way to get money from streaming. That's why we push our physical albums so hard. If we can recoup the money spent on making the CDs, then we get to live to make another.

From “technically it isn’t fascism” to “technically it wasn’t an insurrection” to “technically it’s not a genocide,” our intellectuals are really making a bold show of their commitment to sophistry and semantics above any meaningful confrontation with the realities of their time.

ok time to log on to the information superhighway and use my little ape brain to process the individual traumas of 8 billion people at once this will be fine

A slightly belated drawing to celebrate our man's 84 years of rocking: Jerry Cornelius! 🙏😌

Meanwhile, 2023 is on pace to set a new all-time record for most people shot and killed by the police. For context, that hasn't happened since... 2022 ... and, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, & 2017, each beating their previous year's all-time record.

Guys, Amazon deforestation is down 50% this year! It's worth saying twice: Amazon deforestation is down 50% this year!!!!!!! 2023 was also the best year ever for reforestation and carbon reduction! We're doing it! We're really doing it! #ShareGoodNewsToo

Bitches Brew is Miles Davis' best album! Fight me!

I’m glad tumblr periodically escapes containment. I absolutely couldn’t hang but I also want to be able to see things like this

If Trump invokes transphobia at every rally, promises to criminalize the health care trans people need to live, and has a 12-point plan for erasing us from public life and you *don't* mention it in your roundup of his extremism, I have to assume it's because you don't find those ideas extreme.

Remote work has made employment more accessible than ever, and increased the number of disabled people with jobs. Working from home can also cut the carbon footprint of employees in half. Forcing people back to the office goes against workers' rights, disability justice, and climate justice.

I honestly don't get why people like SunnyV2, a lot of the videos seem like reaching for straws and very incomplete in information. One of the least compelling yt drama channels.

ZORAK: when was that, when you were crying in the bathroom? SPACE GHOST: you know what? tell it to earth, Zorak! MOLTAR: *at the controls* ah ha WHAAAT? ZORAK: tell it to EARTH? SPACE GHOST: that's right! See what the earth has to say about that!

roxanne fact: henry kissinger is fucking dead

HEY EVERYONE, TODAY IS A GREAT FUCKING DAY AND IT'S AN EVEN GREATER DAY TO DONATE TO ORGANISATIONS TRYING TO FIX THE VAST HORRORS OF US IMPERIALISM. DO IT IN THE NAMES OF EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT THAT MOTHERFUCKER KILLED.

In honor of the tremendous news, here's a song by my favorite Cambodian singer, Sinn Sisamouth, whose killer is finally in hell. youtu.be/4XqDWX-fezc?...

Oh sure make your sick little jokes, clap your greasy gleeful hands, but I’ll tell you one thing, one thing that really matters, one thing that speaks to our VALUES as a nation, and that’s that Elon Musk also did something really stupid today and was dressed like a big ol wiener when he did it

I think the best possible reason to celebrate Kissinger's death - to be as loud and crude and discourteous as possible about it, to never stop saying what he did, to stink bomb the funerals and piss on the graves - is to let todays war criminals know that we will do it to them too.

You know you did a lot of war crimes when people have to write articles saying you have continents worth of war crimes that are overlooked deep cuts

Is it possible to fly a flag at twice-staff?

Time to move this tweet to a site that deserves it. RIP Peter Jennings.

Henry Kissinger's War Crimes in Africa Should Not Be Forgotten

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says “Henry Kissinger died.” Man says “Oh holy shit this rules. This is so great thank you so much. Fuck

if i see you saying we should be kind about kissinger i will FIND you

Important to remember that while Kissinger was a bloodthirsty liar, relentlessly cruel and callous in the prosecution of both an illegal war and overthrowing democratically elected leaders, manifesting nightmare atrocities that make the mind reel still... He was also a real piece of shit that guy.🎈
