"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis (SPOILER REVIEW) | Ending Explained In my opinion, there is a limit to the amount of ambiguity that a story can sustain. If you cross the limit, it goes from being interesting and mind-bendy to just making the reader feel a bit slow.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

I need you to know that "Punch" is in primate laboratories all over the world. What do I mean by this? I spent two years as a caretaker for 500+ macaques at the UW-Madison's Harlow Primate Lab. Caring for rejected newborn macaques, like Punch, was one of the most gut-wrenching parts of the job. ⬇️

NEW: The Victims Who Fought Back An Oklahoma law was supposed to help reduce the sentences of women who killed their abusers. Why are nearly all of them still in prison? By @pamelacolloff.bsky.social

Book Review: Private Citizens by Tony Tulathimutte After reading Tony Tulathimutte's short story collection Rejection I knew that I had found a new favorite contemporary author. And picking up his novel, Private Citizens, next, did not disappoint.

The word don't is censored. Don't, or Don T. If you're looking for just some fun proof they're doing control+f censoring

haven't forgotten about my blogs I just have real school now too smh

#OtD 29 Jan 2024 6-year-old Hind Rajab and 6 of her relatives were attacked in Gaza by Israeli troops. Rajab survived and called an ambulance, which got permission from Israel to rescue her. Then troops killed the paramedics, and Rajab also died. stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1545...

Their claims towards inevitable AGI are akin to claiming they can teach the solar powered calculator collecting dust in a drawer in your house how to love. It's so stupid on the face of it that it can only be the result of a concerted propaganda effort leveled at people too lazy and dumb to learn.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Spotted outside HHS headquarters last night. 👀

if there are alternate timelines i think i became an astrophysicist in at least one of them

For people in prison, the opportunity to pet a puppy can be a life-changing reminder of their own humanity.

Clueless Americans think of their flag as a symbol of decency and democracy. The rest of the world sees it as a symbol of greed, violence, and imperialism.

Them: "Why do vegans eat things that look and taste like meat? Why not just eat meat?" Me: "Why would you play video games where you shoot people when you could just go outside and shoot people?" Them: "Because then I'd be a murderer" Me: "Exactly"

I want to leave the US but I have no connections to other countries

realizing that i don't want to *do* science so much as I want to *learn about* and *write about* it

@tonytula.com i am obsessed with your books rn

where am i supposed to go to stay up to date on the nazi propaganda & amateur snuff films created by the department of homeland security if i can’t use X, the everything app? truly a great loss for the government’s comms guys.

34% of the jobs advertised were positions listed with no intent to hire, per BBC

#OtD 13 Jan 1943 19-year-old Ukrainian anti-Nazi resistance fighter Ulyana Matveevna Gromova was executed by German forces. She endured days of brutal torture but refused to disclose the names of any of her comrades stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8476...

american liberals are fine with millions of deportations as long as they happen quietly and the police don't hurt any white people. proud of it, really

a lot of people think the cops should be allowed to kill you if you’re not nice to them. These people believe they live in a place called “The Land of the Free” also known as “The Home of the Brave.”

Incompetence is a weird word for “the animal agriculture lobby”

Physical nonfiction tbr situation. Accumulated over years of impulse purchases. Not sure I want to hear chomskys takes anymore though

The I’m fun at parties shelf

Laughing at all the people saying shit like we should get rid of the few bad apples in the ethnic cleansing operation

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Andor is better at getting the average American out in the street than Marx or Lenin and it pisses off the dumbest people imaginable.

DHS Warns Any Action By Americans Will Be Treated As Domestic Terrorism https://theonion.com/dhs-warns-any-action-by-americans-will-be-treated-as-domestic-terrorism/

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

Minneapolis.

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular. From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Not just disappointed. Very disappointed.

Fuck Bari Weiss, fuck bootlicking regime propaganda

Renee Nicole Good was 37. She was murdered by an ICE agent in the street in broad daylight. What really happened to her will not be forgotten, minimized, or ignored.

Murderer.
