speaking of cool cheap effects: the shadow from the ceiling fan in Robo Recall is not a real shadow or even a light function or even a decal, it's a rotating translucent mesh

If the voters of Denton genuinely want change, the only vote is Green. Until the established parties see there are votes in community, unity, humanity, empathy, respect and decency, they'll continue drifting to the right wing, chasing the votes of bigots.

Over the past two weeks I've begun to realize that rich people only started funding chatbots once they could no longer email Jeffrey Epstein

This happens with*everything* now. No matter how grave the crime or one-dimensional the injustice, after four days the hivemind of American punditry decides that the Real Story is how the people upset about it are the real villains.

strangely enormous numbers of people think that criticizing the democratic party on this website somehow resulted in or will result in destroying the party's electoral chances. bizarre!!!

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

Naah, I want them on trial.

You all have free range to use this image in response to any transphobia now

If "the Green Party has become a dustbin of climate activists, leftists leaving the Labour Party, and pro-Palestine protestors", COUNT ME IN. That's much better than the CESSPOOL in which this ghoul has been swimming. He names these groups as is those are bad people to be. Unlike his pal Epstein.

With Ricky Gervais you need to separate the art (Karl Pilkington) from the the artist (total dipshit who knows Karl Pilkington)

yeah seeing the "Minneapolis took off because the so-called 'activists' got out of the way and let normal people in" takes is really frustrating. that's not at all an accurate look at what's happening in Mpls or anywhere else. All these movements rely on cores of people who have experience.

I'm not saying Brexit was exclusively a project of the pedophile class, but it did help engineer the collapse of the UK so the country could be bought for cheap.

Well, the upcoming hbomberguy video's going to have to be pushed back to 2027.

Incrementalists take it on the chin again. This is why they hate Mamdani. He's giving up the game that people in power HAVE POWER and don't solely exist to beg you for $5 every day. He's ruining the Democratic Party by showing voters that they have the power to do stuff instead of crouching in fear

crazy that basically every person complaining about "woke overreach" over the last 12 years is also in the epstein emails being like "thanks for the pussy, jeff ;)"

The Labour Party is the party of petty drama and ratfucking. I think it's pretty obvious that culture also got ported to Your Party.

Remember when /pol/ said the trannies were trying to add paedophiles to the LGBTQ+, and it started at almost exactly the same time that leading transphobe James Cantor started trying to add paedophiles to the LGBTQ+

I think OpenClaw may be the sign that the bubble's going to burst by June. A whole bunch of Dunning-Kruger doofuses are going to Four Hour Work Week too close to the sun and there'll be more "the AI murder-suicided my customer database" stories, and everything goes to fuck.

I remember a college professor of mine going on a rant about how the world was owned and ruined by “five old white men on yachts” And I remember thinking, well, it’s probably more that people don’t examine their own actions, it’s not like a couple of people control the world But you know what

don't mean to blow anyone's mind with this shocking insight but the direct line between epstein, 4chan, gamergate, tech bro fascists etc is misogyny. prolific rapists, guys who believe women have inferior intelligence, and guys who hate women for rejecting them all have something big in common!

Also trying to parse all the emails that read like they were written by a concussed golden retriever I think I finally get why these guys are so enthusiastic about getting chatbots to write for them

I was going to post "tech guy who changes his last name to Dot-Exe" but Kim Dotcom is already real and I'm just a hack

This episode of Volts is so. SO. good. Thank you @volts.wtf @michaelhobbes.bsky.social for yelling into the void about something that's been driving me absolutely insane for years, particularly the bit about reactionary centrists conveniently ignoring the influence of asymmetrical media ecosystems.

The wealthy have class solidarity and we'll only beat them when we have it too

well that could mean anything really

Conspiracy Theory Wastes No Time Getting Racist https://theonion.com/conspiracy-theory-wastes-no-time-getting-racist-1839031580/

legislators should be staging sit-ins, they should not leave the fucking chambers until there are votes on impeachment. make your colleagues defend this piece of shit on the record. show history what you fucking did in this moment you god damned cowards

half of all tech news lately is some variation of "the computer company has discontinued their well known product, the computer"

I saw a post from the Vagina Museum, which makes me wonder, has anyone made this specific joke? Some very annoying man says "well where's the penis museum?" and the response would be "There's already a penis museum in London, it's called the Houses of Parliament."

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

gotta keep repeating it was pony wanters who "failed democracy" and not the party who backed a sundowning old man until it was too late to replace him with anybody but a weak VP with no national constituency, or else people might focus too much on how corrupt and ineffective the party is

DHS is a disastrous kludgy mess created in the panicked aftermath of 9/11 and it has not for a minute of its existence made “the homeland” more secure it should absolutely be dismantled

If you want to know what I want Democrats to do, please look at everything the GOP has done to fuck shit up when it was the minority party and copy and paste those tactics.

The moderate position is unwinding the entire post-9/11 security state

I just want to remind people that when we talk about creating a "British ICE" and a concentration camp as somehow copying America, we already had the previous Tory government set up a concentration camp run by British military personnel for asylum seekers rapidly shut down after legal battles.

I read that "Why Gen Z doesn't like Harry Potter" article and trying to imagine someone writing 70 years ago a "Reasons Gen X are ignoring Biggles" article for the Times

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

If you see an ICE van, definitely don't spray a bunch of expanding foam into the exhaust.

Graham Linehan proves the point that trans liberationists have been saying from the start: If you'll permit dehumanising and stripping the rights of trans people, you will dehumanise and strip the rights of anyone on a long enough timeline.

hey everybody lifelong tech expert here > "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps

America was not founded for equality or freedom from tyranny or any of the bullshit they say. A bunch of Europeans wanted to not pay tax on their slavery profits to the British monarchy. Believing that America was founded for good reasons is just like believing the Tooth Fairy is real, grow up.

load bearing tweet for a settler colonial society

If your duty is to prevent harm refusing medical care to ICE officers would be a good start

Esther Ghey is facilitating the rewriting of history. The circumstances of Brianna’s death are being rewritten to obscure the fact that she was murdered for being trans. It is mentioned not once in this article. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is what epistemic vandalism looks like. Not just erasure, but insisting on a standard of communication that is by default dehumanizing, degrading and degendering, laundered as neutral language on pseudoscientific grounds. Encoding bias into how we are even referred to.

Glory to the martyrs who defend the Republic
