The grand plan is selfish enrichment and rose tinted glasses

i was asked to contribute my thoughts on best horror of the year to this Gizmodo list of 2025 in review. Obviously, my thoughts are correct. lmao just kidding there's too much good stuff, really hard to narrow it down 🤪 gizmodo.com/sci-fi-horro...

Anyone telling you that unquestioned loyalty to a political party is necessary for you to have rights and be safe is a COWARD and an opportunist The Democrats work for YOU. All elected leaders work for YOU. You pay them. You elect them. Demand better from your employees.

Urgent appeal We still have £353 left to cover the rent. Please, dear friends… this is very important for our family’s stability.🥹 I just want them to feel safe, to wake up in the same place tomorrow. Please, help us finish this 😓 Love you all.🫂

US Senator @welch.senate.gov revealed Israel has closed its review into its military’s Oct. 13, 2023, targeted double-tap strike on journalists in Lebanon, at a press conference today with Sen. @vanhollen.senate.gov, and Rep. @balint.house.gov. Read more: cpj.org?p=546370

“A cop tells her to move her hand. She says: ‘no’. He obliterates her finger with a baton. She has reconstructive surgery in the morning and returns to defend the occupation in the afternoon.”

Please listen...I know a lot about this, I have friends who have been or are civilly committed THERE IS NO END DATE or incentive for anyone to be LET OUT EVER They often use barely qualified staff and call them "treatment specialists" and those people have NO INCENTIVE TO EVER LET ANYONE OUT

I wake up this morning to a beautiful gift. I haven't shared my intentions with the wool blankets yet. I know they are expensive but they matter. These children deserve blanketing ceremonies. It warmed my heart to much that someone saw the vision and understood without me having to say.

Friendo if RAM stays at 4 times its previous price that's the end of the home PC, as well as multiple other devices that use RAM chips. 64GB of DDR5 for PC is anywhere from $600 to $1000 all by itself. If that remains, the entire electronics market as we know it is over.

The production lines that would be making GPUs and RAM for home users are making stuff that's more or less useless to a home PC. If you're in the market for a $500,000 server you'll be able to get one cheap, sure. But it's going to be months and months before DDR5 RAM restocks. Maybe years.

I know there's a lot of other massive problems with "AI," but as a techie and a PC builder I am GODDAMNED FUCKING SICK of some stupid hype bubble designed to fleece investors and nothing else ruining my hobby. Your crypto shit took all the video cards. Your "AI" took GPUs *and* RAM. Fuck you all.

Our government allows genocide to continue because they support large corporations more

A partial list of the things republicans in Michigan cut today without senate approval

My favorite part of the January shutdown fight to come is that they already gave Republicans 1 year clean extensions on their top priorities (Ag, Military construction, Veterans), so the areas left to negotiate are ones Republicans are mostly fine with cutting down to nothing. Leverage!

Under the biting cold,little Ghazal lies without warmth to protect her The fierce winds،torrential rains destroyed their tent, leaving them homeless Ghazal needs milk,warmth,ablanket to protect her frail body from harshness of this winter Let's send her warmth and safety♥️ tinyurl.com/save-my-baby...

Today, members of the House will vote on a dangerous bill that will expand government censorship under the guise of protecting youth online. Tell your representative to protect the First Amendment and vote NO.

Who is the Anti-Christ?

The US has gone hardcore fascist, with genocide in Palestine, attacks on Venezuela etc. This isn't just normal imperialism. Ppl are in denial about what is happening, and others are in denial voting Dems fixes this. I'm not seeing any resistance, despite talk about organizing happening everywhere.

NBC: "Winter storm rips through Gaza, flooding tents and exposing aid shortages." Life is hell for the displaced civilians in Gaza. They rely entirely on our donations to survive and take care of themselves. Please give to my dear friend Tasneem. And to others. ❤️🙏 chuffed.org/project/1587...

Thinking about the guy I was drinking with after a No Kings protest who kept showing me the weirdly racist Bigfoot video's he'd made with AI

Beautiful tribute to Alice 💔

Pretty sinister undercurrent to this story about how a much older, very wealthy man in journalism lured a teenager into the profession through extremely inappropriate power dynamics

So if Olivia is 32 now, broke up with Lizza last year, was together with him for a decade, and then was living with you for 4+ years before that, how old was she when you moved her out of her (presumably parents’) house in the suburbs to live with you?

Finally found someone who talks not only about the main mask-off statements, but also about the fact that Hurwitz thinks being insulated in a national bubble was good and getting perspectives from people in other countries is bad. @taylorlorenz.bsky.social youtu.be/xneRCEs_3jE?...

Biden’s White House co-wrote the bill banning tiktok, pushed it through congress, chose to defend it in the courts, and then signed it into law. Joe Biden is solely to blame for what’s happening to TikTok. Every single expert said this outcome is exactly what would happen if he did what he did.

“What about those who are isolated? Those who are in hospital or managing a chronic health condition or disability that means they can’t participate in the world in the same way as other teenagers their age?”

I cannot begin to explain how dire and urgent this is. They’re trying to pass the most expansive censorship and surveillance laws we have seen in our lifetimes under the radar, and the MSM is going along with it, boosting these laws and villainizing trans ppl, abortion activists etc. CALL TODAY!!!!

These laws are to censor LGBTQ voices off the internet. The co-sponsor of KOSA, just one of the 18 censorship/surveillance laws, said we need to pass it to protect kids from “the transgender in society”. These laws will remove ALL anonymity from the internet endangering activists, journalists,etc

🚨 URGENT!!!!!! Congress is trying to ram through 18 massive censorship/surveillance laws TODAY 🚨 CALL THESE REPS NOW and tell them —NO to KOSA —NO to Section 230 reform —NO to age verification laws —NO to the SCREEN Act —NO to digital ID laws (App Store Accountability Act) badinternetbills.com

Please read my dear and brilliant friend Sandra's new story, "Sadness of Gaza." Sandra has endured more horror in the past week than most of us will in our entire lives. Even $5 can bring some much needed light into her life: her fundraising link is in my bio 🙏 #Sacramento #Sac4Sandra #Poem (1/2)

This letter is the most powerful (and grounded) statement I've seen yet on AI in higher ed, and how we should all be reacting:

Measles outbreaks are growing along the Utah-Arizona border and in South Carolina, where hundreds are in quarantine.

Everyone should also want clean and plentiful public toilets if they don’t want mail carriers to have to pee in bottles in their trucks

sorry i won’t stop talking about toilets it’s just that we’re all human beings

Never stop talking about toilets 🚽4️⃣EVER

I am Hayat from Gaza, a mother struggling to survive amidst the brunt of war. We have been deprived of safety and even the simplest of life. Children are in desperate need of food, medicine, and shelter. 🥹😭💔🙏https:// gofund.me/bab97a80

What in the fuck?

Just like how the actions and statements of US and European leaders can be easily explained just by acknowledging that the plan was always to just get rid of as many Palestinians as possible - whether slowly or quickly - and that all these important people always knew that was the intent.

In a previously unreported letter, the Pennsylvania senator John Fetterman asked Israeli president Isaac Herzog to pardon Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

In the UK I can’t even read DMs unless I give them my passport and a video of my face. This happened almost overnight! Don’t take this for granted, America!

I worked on this for 4 months. I processed through every single available interview feat. 3 Stacks, Big Boi, and Sleepy Brown. I annotated 3 books for this piece. I read every article ever written for this piece. I chose the best sources and this is FREE. Will you share this for me ?

You’re still a genocide denier, unlike the vast majority of democrats since January 2024 bsky.app/profile/devi...

It’s #FolkloreThursday. I have a Palestinian folktale for you today. It’s the tale of The Dib-Dib-Dib. Illustration by me:

Naked Gun sequels are cancelled don't give a fuck how funny it was
