Everyone says Happy Pride now. No one says Merry Hubris, and so people have forgotten the reason for the season: celebrating Ancient Greeks challenging the limits gods have placed on them and dying. #WarOnHubris

Do you think rich people started using silver for dining utensils to make sure they weren’t eating with werewolves?

RIGHT NOW: NJ state troopers with riot gear are forcing protesters supporting the hunger strikers of Delaney Hall and media ppl down the street. They’re firing flashbang grenades at the ground to force people to disperse, per the @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream www.youtube.com/live/yTlpCYk...

Weird I’ve actually been productive since moving into a place where I don’t feel like a prisoner.

Is revolute a word? I feel like it should be a word.

you support economic justice because you support human dignity. that's it.

economic justice will not in fact end racism.

Sal Jiang deserves so much better 😢

Sooooooo…Contrapoints is going to be right wing in five years huh?

🚨Please don't break my child's heart... He doesn't understand war or poverty, all he wants is to be happy like other children🥹 I need £270 to buy Eid clothes for my child and some food🙏 I don't want his heart to be broken on Eid day This campaign is our only hope👇🏼😭 Soad🙏 chuffed.org/project/soad

The introduction to the Emily Wilson translation of The Iliad is doing such a good job of hyping me up to read the translation but it’s also so long I have to take a break lol.

one interesting thing so far about loudly hating AI is the way AI lovers are like "wow so you're just totally closed off to hearing another perspective??" as if their perspective hasn't been relentlessly pushed down our throats with no space to push back (particularly in professional settings)

I did it, I set up a proton email. Time to ween myself off the google teat.

To my library colleagues who went all-in on AI: we told you so. We told you they would use technology you were training to replace us. We told you that it wouldn't matter to admin if AI couldn't do even a fraction of our job. And you dismissed us.

I think it's an op to leak to the press that the AI is winning prestigious Literary prizes now. The prizes were already made up, now the writers and stories are too. The prestige is a plot by the CIA

Why would a Fox News guest wear a mask? It’s so weird and confusing.

Have you all seen this water?

The only thing I hate about bluesky besides the nazi mods and the shitlibs and the influx of nazi conservatives is that a lot of us are essentially passing around the same 20 dollars to each other because we're all struggling.

Appealing to better nature hasn’t worked At this point We can crowd fund your bail easier than trying to fix dead I promise you if a whole bu ch of transphobes and homophobes start getting the blocks rocked ish gets diffeeent

Some out there may think these claims about white genocide just began. In reality, it's been around since the 1800s. Back then, it was the Irish and the Catholics (odd claims considering how the US became the US you know today). Back then, it was hate groups (the Protestant church, nationalists) 1/3

I don't trust the white people freakouts.

I’m not for taxing the rich, I'm for taking their shit! With that said, taxing the rich keeps the current economic system in place. The entire system rewards the rich when, in fact, ppl ignore labor exploitation and the key part…1/2

It's evil. I mean it's just... fucking evil.

we just need $100 to make rent for maha!

I wonder if what tipped it was how Ken went easy on the child predator a few days ago.

Yes, houses of worship should be safe from shootings, but the truth is people should be safe wherever they go. Muslims should be safe wherever they go, whether it's a Mosque or a Grocery Store or a concert or home or a midnight ice cream run.

I have a case right now where a child - a LITERAL CHILD - was segregated from the other children in their elementary school because the parents of the other children said they didn't feel safe around them. You know the ONLY reason given? Because this child was Muslim and 10/7 happened.

I had a case two years ago - I've posted about it before - where a landlord issued a notice of termination of tenancy saying that my Muslim clients violated the lease when Wife Client became pregnant because the child would be, I am not joking, a "Hamas baby" The discovery in that case was bizarre.

This is so awful. Also, Granta published this shit? Glad they reject me now lol.

I say it all of the time because it's true: Islamophobia in the U.S. is absolutely one of the most tolerated forms of bigotry. It's everywhere, routine and rarely challenged. It's not surprising that teenagers who swim in this water from birth would also be Islamophobic.

It's probably bad that every hundred years or so in this country, the government decides to pay reparations to white supremacists, but reparations to Black and Indigenous people are consistently deemed a nonstarter or too hard.

Vibecoding is like “what if we took all the problems of software coding and made it orders of magnitude worse”

These people explicitly and openly came out HRD being racist assholes even our “protectors” at this moment like the racism so much they refuse to acknowledge it And I would say do a simple test … check how many Black experts they engage with at all once it stopped being profitable

Algorithmic racism AND classist exploitation have been a topic for TWO DECADES now and everytime someone says they are “learning” and then uncritically boosts analysis that not just doesn’t include race BUT ACTIVELY REWRITES HISTORY to focus on the exploiters They know they will win

There is a REASON they focused on isolating DEI and specifically Black women and gender queerness BEFORE their now unabashed attacks on everything else and if people were “learning” you would ACTIVELY push back before making the marginalized further ostracize themselves

The way this entire world is a racket. Between the US, the UK, and even Canada. The whole thing is one big mafia shaking everyone down. The writing isn't on the wall. It's everywhere. And we're all in on it. That's the worst part. We are all complicit. We are doing it to ourselves.

"You shouldn't support Palestine. They would kill you for being trans!" say the people who want to kill me for being trans in the United States.

You know you’re old when the fairly recent videogame you keep meaning to play is suddenly a childhood favorite of adults.

Hi. 😊 Black American here. Norway is an almost entirely white country. The United States is racist as fuck. That's why we don't have a social democracy or, like, healthcare. Follow for more glimpses into a racist society where white people* would rather die than see a Black person succeed.

Funny how fat people (and probably many others) have been saying Darren Aronofsky wasn’t shit and then he just goes and admits it at Cannes.

But thru policy and actual physical violence, we are told not to challenge the existing order. Malcolm X saw how politicians infiltrated the civil rights march.

There is a reason why the state wants non-violent protest, when non-violent solutions are used, the government tends to stay in control and keep the current political and economic system in place. It deals with opposition by calming things down, co-opting people, and showing its power over violence.

After long personal reflection, I’ve changed my stance that John Travolta should come out of the closet. Bitch, stay in that motherfucker.
