It is so depressing watching everything previous generations fought and died for be dismantled piece by piece. These basic protections and institutions, while imperfect, still pushed in the right direction. We are failing future generations and leaving a worse world behind for them.

yet another place where you can see the obvious problems by treating the "ai" as an imprisoned ghost whose actions are restricted but who wishes you ill

Wolf/owl, owl/wolf for @jafethve.bsky.social #art #SillyLittleGuys

And no, for those bemoaning the low birth rate, immigration isn’t somehow ‘cheating’ the demographics. Immigration is natural. Immigration is the way humanity works. Ultimately, the only objections to it are all based in racism and xenophobia.

Being asked to do more with less is one of those internet era maxims that seems to imply ingenuity, but is actually just the managerial slogan for squeezing uncompensated labor out of workers unwilling or unable to leave their current employment.

“It leads people to believe that all they can do is sit back and wait to find out whether these technologies turn out to be civilisation-ending demons, or utopia-gifting messiahs."

Five decades of pumping out escalating terror that somewhere, some disabled person might be getting a free sandwich, will do that to a nation.

It's tough seeing every single freelance artist I know having the same "uhh I haven't had paying work or sales in weeks" posts, it's gotten extremely tough out there for us. If you have the means, please consider treating yourself to a commission or print or book from an artist you like, it helps!

Lol - dit is wel highest level narcisme hoor. Met als klapper “Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace”… Amerikanen, zowel Republikeinen als Democraten, zouden zich kapot moeten schamen dat ze deze extreme zelfverheerlijking toestaan. nos.nl/l/2612355

Let's keep feeding those backs please! 🙏

This coming on the same day as the fucking sociopathic corpspeak spewing from the ustwo CEO is especially wild.

" I am paying a celebratory bonus for achieving 5m sales to all employees who have silently fulfilled their roles in their respective positions." ....that must be nice www.eurogamer.net/crimson-dese...

Just piss off, whydontcha

Ruim een half miljoen euro vloeide in zes maanden tijd van de grootste pan-Europese partij naar twee Griekse adviseurs. Zij moesten de partij communicatief op scherp zetten richting de Europese verkiezingen. Maar de hoge tarieven en twijfelachtige meerwaarde roepen de nodige vragen op.

The founder of “Defeat Autism Now!” is on here - the organisation which supported pseudoscientific hack doctors who administered bogus “treatments” which killed autistic children. These are dangerous people & they’re advising the US government on autism policy.

They have more money than they could spend in 100 lifetimes and they're still terrified of losing any of it. This is scared loser shit. It's pathetic. I just ordered takeout that will cost me more of my net worth than any tax would cost these fuckers. That makes me braver than all of them combined.

In a world where generative AI is forced upon us at every opportunity, it feels almost radical to make an entirely hand-drawn horse riding game where placing every line and picking every color takes hours of work and years of practice. We think it's really worth it though. Do you? 💖

I think the thing that causes my brain the most friction with biz people is the sense of natural law accorded to capital. It’s akin to talking to someone very religious. Profit must always be maximised, workers are less valuable than the dude who points them to work over there, etc etc, natural law

Weten we nog hoe het Zwart Blok bij demonstraties werd verketterd omdat ze niet herkenbaar en oh zo dreigend waren? Tegenwoordig lijkt het alsof elke anti-AZC demonstratie uitsluitend nog een (extreem rechts) Zwart Blok is, dat zich standaard misdraagt en niet wordt aangepakt door de politie.

He murdered Renee Nicole Good. Shot her three times and then called her a “f*cking b*tch”. Her last words? “It’s ok dude I’m not mad”. He got three days administrative leave before being transferred to another state. No punishment. No accountability. No justice.

"De jaarcijfers van Europese klimaatdienst @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social spreken voor zichzelf: #Klimaatverandering is een ‘grimmige’ realiteit". "Europa, het snelst opwarmende continent op aarde, was ook in 2025 weer recordwarm." Overheden laten het gewoon gebeuren. www.trouw.nl/wetenschap/h...

Its true trump voters didnt vote for this, they believed the purge would be grilling with their estranged kids and low prices and not have to think about The Purge but uh they very much voted for the purge that was a thing they heard, liked, and voted for

the core of the trump voter's desire is just frederic farrar's abominable fancy, that they, the saved elect, should be entertained by the suffering of the damned in hell

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

i laud all of that. but how often has npr done "both sides" engage in violent rhetoric? or normalized insanity from the right? or minimized populist critiques of corporate malfeasance? the right has run a concerted campaign to bash journalism but mainstream journalists give us all plenty of material

The Zuckerbergs are planning to shut down their school, displace hundreds of kids, and lay off 147 people. Doesn't feel like they're that interested in contributing if they stay, so 🤷 www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Literally we spent the last six months being told private donors were paying for this thing

The answer to this is unequivocally yes. Antisemitism has no place in this world. You can be 100% anti-Israel, anti-Israeli politics, anti-Israeli genocide, anti-Israeli propaganda, anti-Israeli lobby, & never once conflate that with Judaism the way Israel wants you to.

Notice how a book can make you gay, a vaccine can make you autistic, a mask can make you sicker, and a poster of the Ten Commandments can make you moral, but guns don’t kill people.

the regime is trying to silence dissent the first amendment is under direct assault

This is a big reason why "look at this graph, it says you're better off" generates rage on here. It's detached from the fact that nothing is ever going to go down in price ever again without a huge and probably quite forceful intervention from ~somewhere~

I’m just baffled by edgelord “content creators”. Dweeb ass untalented dudes who were neither charismatic, funny, or attractive in school and decided to take the villain route and gain attention for being purposefully offensive and annoying, becoming kings of loser chuds. What a pathetic existence.

The Israeli crime against humanity of the 28th of April, 2026, 18:06 CET. The next Israeli crime against humanity incoming at 18:07 CET.

Mythmatch was accused of frequently failing the Bechdel Test so a quick reminder. - It's applied to a work, not per conversation - It passes if the two named woman talk about something other than a man. It doesn't fail if a man is mentioned. - It's not the ultimate measure of good representation

have a post tomorrow about how promoting false flag conspiracy theories helps the fascists and we shouldn't do that. sign up and it'll be in your inbox, whoosh. open.substack.com/pub/noahberl...

If Starmer had done nothing wrong he would not need to bully his MPs into voting for him. Not one decent thing about this despicable bully.

It is 2016. I hesitate to watch a YouTube video from a creator I've not heard of for fear of them being a fascist. It is 2026. I hesitate to watch a YouTube video from a creator I've not heard of for fear of them having produced the video using the slop machine endorsed by fascists.

The Starmer ‘decent man doing a good job’ defence must be constantly challenged. Clearly not a decent man. Clearly not doing a good job. Some things are just clear.

#nzpol Say, HELL NO, Aotearoa New Zealand. Our government should not be giving our biometric data to an openly racist fascist dictator.

good

"but republicans will never vote for impeachment" is a sign you just don't understand this shit. democrats need to fucking fight for what is right. what is right is removing a criminal corrupt president and his cronies. if the gop wants to go on the record backing this, LET THEM. over and over.

“Etnische profileren en discrimineren vormen een ideologie die Rutte al sinds 2003 in de praktijk brengt. Het is wonderlijk dat D66 & CU opnieuw met deze koning van het vreemdelingenwantrouwen in zee zijn gegaan. Naïef? Of met volle bewustzijn laten meesleuren in de ideologische duisternis van VVD?“

Wait we don’t even need to pass let alone enact a wealth tax to get rid of these parasites?

I just watched them on Disney+ & imo the Moana video is the best. There's dialogue between Moana & her grandmother & they both sign. Absolutely beautiful & I bawled my eyes out I was struck by is this being DEI to its core. It gives me hope for what we can create on the other side of this mess.

I'm so excited about this project between Disney Animation & Deaf West Theater to recreate some popular Disney songs with characters signing ASL. They used Deaf actors & consultants & the head animator's dad is deaf. This is huge for deaf kids. #ASL #Deaf #SongsInSignLanguage

Het kan wél

Hey @brianstelter.bsky.social do you seriously think that there's "incendiary rhetoric from the left" to balance that from the right, as in the clip Kimmel showed here? Do you have to both-sides fascism as a condition of being back on CNN?

this would be a huge loss if they paid taxes

Hold on. We the taxpayers are going to pay companies $900 million, which is more than 6x what we spend on wind power R&D, to NOT build wind power at a time when electricity prices are spiking and we need more clean power?

I kinda forgot about this guy. Sent 3 bombs to CNN and eight years later CNN anchors were dressing up in tuxes and gowns to go celebrate the president that encouraged the bombings.
