Using the nobel prize as currency to try and bribe your way into an imperial overthrow of your own country

love to share fact-based, tradeable insights with my community bsky.app/profile/frog...

when a guy murders my entire family but i get told that getting mad about it and seeking justice for my loved ones will only be giving the killer what he wants

"If you and your family eat like you're 20 y/o college students forever you can actually save a lot of money"

"...everything i feared in 2010 about authoritarianism, the rise of nationalist movements across the world, the sprawling and more entrenched police and intelligence and military apparatus all over the world ... towards full blown genocide and ethnic cleansing in the US" - chelsea manning, 2018

I find Gmail’s new “write this for me” feature deeply sinister. They’re trying to convince you that you are dumb and helpless. Don’t let them steal your ability to formulate thoughts and communicate. You were capable of writing an email in 2022 and you’re capable now.

I can't believe that this has been an option the entire time *sets up school for raccoons against racism*

By depriving liberals of their traditional non-confrontational means of protesting *as well as* the public spaces they expect a sense of stability and “normality” in, the fascist regime forces more and more of them into postures of direct action (ICE watches instead of scheduled marches).

what a legend lmao

Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.

If I ever go to Japan to live for a while I know for a fact I'm gonna enjoy it because my first contact with Japan was travel docummentaries instead of anime.

Posts from Minneapolis residents read like they'll be read in voiceover in a Ken Burns-like doc one day

The woman in this photo was trying to get around ICE vans to go to her doctor's appointment when they dragged her out and arrested her. She's fucking terrified. If you don't have empathy, then you're the toxic asshole.

It's basically a line by line parody of @lukeoneil47.bsky.social

I feel like the Insurrection Act being triggered somewhere is now a default future that alternative scenarios have to be measured against

This is where it is going. This is what Stephen Miller is pushing to Trump. The only reason it has not happened yet is that the violence is obviously coming from state actors. There is no insurrection to control. But we are one incident away from Trump sending in the military.

This is why fascism has to come with a carrot alongside the stick, so you don't piss off literally the most normal guy in the country.

🔥 From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social : “This is nuts. What the fuck is going on? I’ve never protested in my life… they tell you it’s immigrants — it’s fucking anybody. They’re just trying to scare people. I’m not paid to be here. I have to work in the morning. This is wrong.”

For all the grandstanding, Democrats have been nowhere to be seen on the ground in Minnesota. The work there is being done by leftist groups, immigrants rights orgs, and random citizens. Took Walz almost a week to visit Good's memorial. Democrats do not functionally exist in the conversation anymore

Acabo de ver esto y bueno, habrá que estar atento para comprar material profesional a precio de saldo cuando empiecen a quebrar.

This is the dirty secret of the Dems - they know the cops are completely out of their control and they try to stop the cops from threatening their lives by shoveling money at them and letting them do whatever they want.

Every example of ai being useful begins with "okay imagine you're in a situation, and you are very dumb"

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT This and next weekends @darkfry.bsky.social and I are hosting the final two streams to help me raise enough funds to move to safety and marry my amazing @deviousbec.bsky.social New quiz shows, a bunch of guests and the entire Wolfenstein trilogy included. Come say hi!

Minneapolis tonight.

Minneapolis didn’t look like this until ICE showed up. If Trump can deploy these masked killers into this city, he can do it in any city for any reason. They will target you for you skin color, regardless of political affiliation. And they’ve clearly shown that actual citizenship doesn’t matter.

Esto es un crimen.

Los que a partir de hoy, 15 de enero, decidáis por la razón que sea seguir publicando contenido en el infecto tugurio nazi, tened bien presente que, además de ser un infecto tugurio nazi:

Just astonishing good news. We are on the way to end Multiple Sclerosis. University research delivers. Always has. Now a cabal in the White House is shattering it.

The problem with Republicans is that they think they're the only ones that can learn how to use a gun.

US citizens, at this point your politicians are signing your own destruction. A whole bunch of the Democrats too.

Denmark confirms an expanded, more permanent Danish and NATO military presence in and around Greenland, beginning today. Deployments span land, sea, and air, including protection of critical infrastructure, fighter jets, and naval operations. Sweden has committed forces; other NATO allies may follow

Civilización es insulina barata, vacunas gratuitas, preocuparse por la factura del coche en caso de accidente y no por la factura de la ambulancia que ha venido por el latigazo cervical. Es coger el autobús o caminar sola sin miedo para hacer la compra. Es niños y niñas juntos en la escuela pública.

The UK has long been a vassal of the US, but this is just pathetic.

stephen miller visited the delphic oracle and was really excited when he was told 2026 would be about the triumph of the Will.

you, needing the light of prime Stone Cold Steve Austin: we could never overthrow a government me, having received the light of prime Stone Cold: every Monday night for five years straight this nation cheered a man beating the shit out of his boss, we are ready www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL6N...

What a joke of a country.

Reading the Communist Manifesto the way Marx and Engels intended

Important: While the Utah bill is framed around porn taxes, the actual letter of the bill discusses “material harmful to minors.” So this could start as a porn tax, and if Utah defines LGBT content as “harmful to minors,” balloon into something so much bigger. As is the case with this genre of bills

Not enough discussion about the Utah porn tax, which targets any material sold in the state as well. I imagine some adult game devs will simply stop selling to Utah / geoblock the region due to the associated costs proposed (7% tax + $500 annual fee)

"O’Keefe described holding cells with 40-50 people in them and smaller cells with dozens of people. She says the most disturbing part of her experience was the juxtaposition of people crying and ICE agents laughing."

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.

On one hand, this is horrifying. But on the other, it's darkly humorous to hear the Europeans explain to Washington that standard military operating procedure is to have your soldiers shoot back if you are being invaded as if they are informing a toddler of armies.

Might as well just declare Soderbergh my GOAT already. The fucker doesn't miss.

The bootlicking by the Washington Post doesn't seem to be working out for them. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

El segundo punto es este: la negación de la posibilidad de ser víctimas si el agresor es blanco, poderoso o te cae bien. Solo vas a poder obtener apoyo si te pueden instrumentalizar contra un grupo que detesten. Sean inmigrantes u opositores políticos.

Writing my notes about NFT theft and remembering that time when some assholes took Quinni's work, turned or into digital trading cards without permission, and then insulted everyone who complained No wonder why nobody had any sympathy when they got hacked and rugpulled www.wired.com/story/nft-fr...
