I'm getting flashbacks

There's nothing illegal about ICE block. This is solely about Apple appeasing the Trump regime. With Google removing sideloading next year, these companies will have total control over what runs on your phone. www.businessinsider.com/apple-iceblo...

keep it silly, folks

unshot bullets as evidence is really funny

it starts getting easier to believe the people like ezra klein say this shit when you stop believing that democrats, as a party, are interested in protecting your rights. YOU have to force them to protect your rights, YOU have to make them believe there is no other path to power.

they want to turn the internet into a playground for LLMs and advertisers to profit off of their constant surveillance of you. it doesn't have to be this way. we can build something better.

hearing the complaint that leftists "choose doomed causes" really sabotages my empathy for those who disagree with me on those 'doomed causes'. it makes me believe that they choose their political beliefs based on a desire for power more than a desire to do the right thing. i hate believing that.

crazy that this supposed "decentralized" service can roll out targeted,ncentralized changes like this. i wonder what thats about 🤔🤔🤔

just watched southland tales and it's astonishing how much it predicted

Something the Skrmetti decision drives home: "Puberty blockers" should be abandoned as a goal; the goal should be HRT for any minor that wants it; puberty blockers should be a tool for minors who choose themselves they need more time to decide and *nothing else*. Compromising achieved nothing, here

this book simultaneously felt like putting into words thoughts i could never express and also opened up entirely new modes of thinking for me. i will forever be indebted to it.

“...much more than by its army, its administration, its institutions, and its police, society is held together with spells.” ―Antonin Artaud

ground news be like "arent you tired of all media being biased? arent you tired of a few profit-focused entities determining what you should believe about the world? with our revolutionary product now you can pay us to determine what you should believe!"

i had an eye exam today and the doctor was looking at the blood vessels from the high-res image they took of each of my eyes and was like "hey do you have anxiety? yeah i thought so, that's what these blood vessels say"

A group in San Diego is patrolling neighborhoods to identify potential ICE presence. They keep watch for vehicles that may belong to federal agencies, and use livestreams, radios, and social media to keep communities informed. Learn more: boltsmag.org/how-vol...

"We are statistically or molarly heterosexual, but personally homosexual, without knowing it or being fully aware of it, and finally we are transsexual in an elemental, molecular sense..." -Deleuze and Guattari

guy rode by on his motorcycle standing while standing up on his seat and the weed shop security guard asked me when i was gonna do that

i post criticism of bsky and then bsky becomes completely unusable for an hour? coincidence?? i think not!!!

so long as bsky controls who the centralized relay (firesky.tv) talks to, the third party apps won't be able to circumvent this kind of government censorship

this is what slave labor camps look like

this is a pro-loitering account

sooooo who's the dyke and who's the sunflower in your relationship

van hollen immediately elevated himself to Presidential contender and all it took was being willing to fly to El Salvador, elected Democrats be advised if one of you works up the guts to throw a punch who knows where you'll go

1. A major bill protecting trans people just passed in Washington. It makes insurers cover 12-month supplies of HRT which can be obtained at pharmacies, allowing trans people to stockpile medication to outlast supply disruptions. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

bsky advocated itself as a federated platform while maximizing its own centralized control over the network itself. months ago i tried to warn about what that would mean for people who thought this place was on its way towards being 'decentralized.' now bsky marches in lockstep with right wing govs

me, anytime anyone is talking to me about anything ever: "this is just like that one thing deleuze said where..."

if you are a trans person it is vitally important that you stop letting news stories and internet discourses dictate how you think the people around you think about you. there are methods of self-preservation and self-defense. this is not one of them. it will only make you suffer.

Basically it's become very clear what a lot of leftists were trying to tell people for a long time - legal institutions, police, law enforcement, intelligence and security are weaponized to protect the interests of fascism and capital. They will be used to settle personal grudges.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

the ADL thinks cops should be allowed to beat you if you wear a surgical mask

the only way to abolish biopower and the corresponding biopolitics is to unplug from universalizing machines and discourses like the state and treat living groupings, human and nonhuman, as the powers of change they truly are, in infinite conjunctions

this is metal gear solid 4

something social media has highlighted intensely is that The Masses were not duped into fascism - they enjoy the sick pleasure of making others suffer

Posts like these make me wonder what is a liberal anymore? Is it still someone who values private property/enterprise? Because I'd say the 'big lesson' is that nice sentiments don't stop material realities, and you can't simultaneously punish the powerful and uphold the institutions that create them

oh wait i remembered the power of life again as the collection of activities which resist death and i am no longer depressed about the possibility of change

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

the fact that prison abolition is still mocked among liberals and leftists while the right is trying to transform every aspect of life into prisons of various severity is so depressing for my hopes of change

@bennjordan.bsky.social loved the new video - just one small note on abstract vs concrete labor via marx abstract labor is labor considered abstractly as a value adding process, it isnt synonymous with "following ones passions and learning and sharing knowledge"

oh so when i try to call my dog out of bed (so i can feed her at a normal time) and she refuses thats apparently fine but when she whines at me to get out of bed to feed her at 3am and i dont want to suddenly im the asshole???

Cracking the Magafacists code

@propublica.org reporter Brett Murphy with an explosive scoop. This is insanity.

in the chess v lichess wars im lichess all the way

computers or no computers dune is tackling social phenomenons of power. the jihad happened in order for humans to 'retake their destiny' from machines that may overtake them - so, too, do the other powerplays unfold.

that stupid fire bomb a walmart tweet has only gotten more wrong by the day

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

i will never understand those who would prefer to define socialism as the dotp
