The weirdest thing about Americans is how many of them think their laws apply to every person in the world. But they're certain other countries' laws don't apply to them.

As you read the news today, watch who phrases the news as an "illegal invasion and regime change" versus "bringing democracy". It'll tell you everything you need to know about the news source you're reading, and frankly should decide whether you ever read them seriously again.

we have not "apprehended" the president of venezuela. we have invaded a foreign country and kidnapped its leader. what the fuck are we doing here, i am going to lose my mind

how many billions of gallons of water evaporated just this week for this?

I posted this in July, and it's remained relevant the rest of the year.

Happy Boxing Day!

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

A prominent commentator in the fighting game community, Sajam, has announced he will not participate in future EVO events following its acquisition by the Saudi government.

Come by the Peacock terrace and get a leaflet, or digitally spread them around online!

here’s my official comment on the Netflix/WB news xx

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

If I ever believed this, you couldn't drag this admission from me

They're also on twitch! www.twitch.tv/crittervision I've watched them on and off for a while now. I love seeing the racoons :)

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

The US is seeing the largest number of layoffs since 2020, with nearly 1 million people losing their jobs so far this year.

Several things here, tbh, but to me the most salient point is the fact that a lot of hyper connected objects have had close to zero design thoughts invested in cybersecurity

Really glad to see this reported on. www.pcgamer.com/games/the-si...

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

Casual Sunday menty-B over how anxiety is ruining my life.

Proud history?? The confederacy were seditionist traitors and it only lasted for 5 years. What a proud goddamn history that is.

Had something odd happen today 🧵

Deskilling is real. This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service. Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

Google fired a woman in Canada within days of finding out she was pregnant, so she's suing them and rather than just saying she wasn't fired for being pregnant they're arguing that being pregnant isn't protected by our human rights code (they're wrong, it is)

Time has changed

I need a @khill.bsky.social video about the radioactive wasps they found at that nuclear facility in SC. Like WHAT?

Microsoft just became the second company to be valued at over $4 trillion. They’ve also fired over 15,000 workers this year. They’ve also spent over $18 billion on stock buybacks over the last year.

Decided to take up video editing as a hobby. I’m currently making short YT vids of my Pokémon cards using my phone and doodling around with them. It’s been pretty fun so far, and even only doing 2 vids I feel like I’ve learned a lot.

Goodnight, Dark Prince. 🖤💔 www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrit...

I don't think I've been this depressed since my grandma died the other year. I feel all of the positive work I've done on myself just flying out the window.

My mom always used to tell me that my great-grandma had a saying, "Never do anything you wouldn't want put on the front of the newspaper." I suspect she would have felt very vindicated at this Coldplay Jumbotron story.
