Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

thinking about all the 14 year old Khaleesi's who are finally old enough to watch the show their parents decided to name them after.

"people are free to build or participate in communities that align with how they want to engage online" But if too many of you find community and align with things that are critical of me, by commenting on things I've done that you've witnessed, I will ban you for "dogpiling" superb modding. dope

White liberals are pushing to remove trans women from public spaces by saying we're not human beings - bots or vermin are often the terms they use for us. Aaron saying "people don't notice" the moderation purging trans women from the site is a tell. We're not human to them.

Seriously fuck AI For a lot of us, I’d argue most, the process is *why* we do it. Imagine a world where nobody ever challenged themselves youtube.com/shorts/XRTlH...

Hyped to finally see the dissolution of the UK and hopefully even the abolition of the monarchy in my lifetime.

Bluesky hates its reputation of being Twitter for the Gays and would like to see us gone

"The defeat in Afghanistan...did not do lasting damage to America's overall position in the world" is so funny because what do you mean WITH HINDSIGHT that it hasn't just clearly been ONE long sprawling foreign policy disaster and endless impotent self-destructive war since at least 9/11 to THIS DAY

We didn’t “rebound” from Vietnam or Watergate. They rotted public trust necessarily and contributed to growing division, antidemocratic and hegemonic abuses, set the stage for a period of austerity and neoliberal exploitation. How do these dumb motherfuckers even remotely believe this.

One of my guilty pleasures is parsing through things corporate media shills just throw out as if they're self-evident. No. America didn't just "bounce back" after these events. They had effects on our long and painful decline. Who thinks like this? Are they letting babies write at the Atlantic?

you can eat little fried crunchy onions right out of the thing as long as you’re in your own house. that’s a right most folks don’t even know they have. no one can stop you if you’re in there

Exposing your kids to 'old' stuff from other eras is good because they'll read/watch that stuff and think to themselves, "But why is everything so mean and racist? How can adults allow that shit [sic]? What do you mean people across time and place are different and fun, and this world can change?"

ESPERA! ATENCION! AYUDA KATE! RAPIDO!

Absolutely massive oyster mushrooms from a recent hike. I left them for the beetles to feast on. Hand for scale #naturephotography #fungifriends

If you see this you have to post an anime opening from 2000-2005 Still one of my favourite series. The opening alone still slaps so hard.

“For the good of society, your son will work in the trades. Oh, my son? My son will be a titan of politics and industry. For the good of society, your daughter will be a tradwife. Oh, my daughter? My daughter will host a lucrative rightwing podcast.”

One of the cool things about the internet is like how else would I learn liberal/progressive USians are obsessed with converting Puerto Rico into one of their 50+ collectible states simply for the imagined gains in the electoral college or some shit lol.

We should probably just sink all cruise ships until we can figure this out

Browsing for inspiration art for fantastical magical claymores for no particular reason and it occurs to me that I can crowdsource this so quick everyone post your fave massive weapons below (no Labour party politician jokes please and thank you)

To me the most insulting thing about comparing Platner to Mamdani is that there was a nationally visible campaign orchestrated by bad actors saying that Mamdani allegedly makes Jewish people feel unsafe. The Nazi tattoo guy gets NONE of that smoke at all. Please make that make sense.

yeah racism ofc, but imo an additional reason platner gets less flak than mamdani is that the media looks at his tattoo and takes it as a pleasant indication that he's not a leftist. remember, until the totenkopf reveal he was popular with the left and reviled by the middle. that flipped overnight

Pippa Durham, 30, whose object permanence is so bad she once lost a game of peek-a-boo to a toddler, has 28 completely interchangeable people on her team and no clear way to distinguish between them.

Wes Streeting just gave your address, your ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, if you are cis or trans, if you've ever had an abortion, an addiction, are disabled in anyway and a million other pieces of info about you, to a far right tech company the UK government has no control over.

All you need to understand the immense power of human labour is to have someone nicely cut fruits up for you like omg?

We are now at the “HANTAVIRUS IS A LAB LEAK” stage of conspiracy theories

As hantavirus is across a lot of people's attention, now is a moment to gently note that [deadly] infectious particles are physical entities that can be, with incredibly high levels of efficacy, blocked through the use of proper masks and respiratory filtration devices! Learn from the pandemic.

James the cat. An old man wondering about the meaning of life! 🤵🏻‍♂️ 😺

...did he really turn on the new system and then take a vacation, bc that would explains so much about last week

There are weeks when I want to post jokes and weeks when I only want to go on unhinged political tirades and either way I can feel myself being gradually consumed by the postrationalist eugenicist American liberal sludge that this website seems to turn everything into and it's all slimy and gross

Whatever you think of Diaochan, she knew how to turn two men against one another and rid the world of a vicious tyrant through a beauty trap (美人計) stratagem.

Broke: Mass Effect is fascist Woke: Mass Effect is Tumblr cozycore

to me Mass Effect will always be the game where your friends are like "idk saving the universe isn't really enough motivation for me? How about you help me with some of my errands first, I really need to develop my relationship with my son"

This demands an examination on how things turned out legacy-wise for the Spring and Autumn Hegemons' states and probably the idea of that system in general

They could never make Space Jam 2 these days. Who would be Michael Jordan? Mr Beast? Come on

This is fair.

1 human life is worth 13 vacation days.

microdosing being at the la brea tar pits by shoving a qtip of vaseline up my left nostril

instead of merely healing the effects of power, we must attack the power that produces traumatized effects in every living being on the planet.

Quick! Let’s find a billionaire patron to give us a lot of money to write an online petition about how we can end the hantavirus threat in 3-6 months by infecting tens of millions of American children!

Transferring Pokemon from past generations every new gen is just a friendlier version of NFTs.

I beg to differ.

Forest depletion and the Cold War's end left the RFD and military w/o a rationale in the '80s Both sought to justify themselves in a new project: reforestation, of a kind Rather than native trees, they wanted eucalyptus plantations for the pulp industry Their target was Isan, Thailand's northeast

i see him as in the category of Elon Musk, that is, pathetic cishet men who are such losers they can't stand the radiant beauty of trans women.

One of the failed arguments you still see some liberals use is that "Harris will listen on Gaza" and "Trump is worse" But a lot of us were literally around for Obama AT LEAST *saying* he was for withdrawing from Iraq! It was never hard for Dem leaders to pretend on this, but they CHOSE not to.

Every time a thoughtless USian says to “think of the troops!”, I just hope they know the world is thinking that the troops should return home horizontally. <3
