i hope you folx are organizing your local underground movements and not just protesting publicly where police cameras can track you

watching hbomb's Adobe/Flash video and its making me yet again want to make a Flash-like library using JavaScript and in-browser editing

watching a Netflix documentary about the Russian Revolution and it says at one point "To the west, Kaiser Wilhelm, under whose rule Germany had been unified in 1871" and it shows this picture

are there agent provocateurs in the crowd? yes, in volumes. if you act from sound principles, it won't matter. don't act foolishly, act wisely

I know it's not mainstream conventional wisdom but I think "Abolish ICE" is a perfectly reasonable response to this and you can get the public to buy in. Most people don't want masked murderous thugs roving their streets

reminder that the concept of "bear witness" as in "gotta watch all the bad videos yourself" is a goofy byproduct of the video age, and would be absolutely inscrutable to most people before like the 20th century

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

reminding everyone at this time to refrain from saying certain things on public networks

The FEDS drugged and shot Fred Hampton in bed. Philly cops blew up a building in the 1980s and most people don't even know the MOVE bombing happened. I think you're downplaying how normalized US death is.

why is he in a dress? is the mad king archetype not transphobic enough?

Hakeem Jeffries talking in inarticulate circles on the Last Word tonight clearly demonstrates the need for new Dem leadership. We have the bench strength in the party to do so much better. We need strong messaging, a compelling plan and leaders able to inspire.

given how useless the democrats have been lately, you're better off voting for the communist party at this rate

"Laws are only as good as the willingness of people to enforce them," is the epitaph of this era.

Finally, we can all have a hologram AI assistant modeled after our female acquaintance. Inexplicably the hologram is pregnant, of course.

Note to establishment Democrats: Don't say this is not a normal presidency, and then turn around and act like it is.

UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper: "Let me be very clear... Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark... The future of Greenland is a matter for the Greenlanders and Danes, and no one else."

we really need to think about ways of decentralizing access to these resources :/

Anna's Archive has been shut down in some kind of legal action by India, but you can still access it at .pm and .in instead of .org.

Fun fact: basically the entire pop culture idea of pirate speech and mannerisms comes from English actor Robert Newton's pirate characters from the 1950's. He did Treasure Island in 1950, Blackbeard in 1952, Long John Silver again in 1954, etc. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_...

Copy Editing Matters, from HHS's release on the new childhood vaccine schedule: All the diseases will still be available to anyone who wants them

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

France at the UN Security Council: "The military operation which led to the capture of Nicolas Maduro runs counter to the principle of peaceful dispute resolution and the principle of non use of force. Violations of the UN Charter... chips away at the very foundation of the international order."

Yep, I've got a History degree and the lessons from it are far less predictive of what will happen in contemporary society than Gender Studies and Critical Race Theory, which are like that sports almanac in Back to the Future II.

if you are an engineer who believes in liberation your goal should be to steal as much fire from the gods as is possible without getting caught via conference talks and YouTube and blogs and posts and drunken bar rants, as has always been the case

made a video explaining how to use fixtures for 3D printing. I haven't seen anyone talk about doing this before youtu.be/GrIKX9iVD5c

if you want to understand how AI could've taken the world by storm, there's a video going around LinkedIn right now of a human using a prosthetic hand extender, and the comments are saying it's a robot and wow impressive and this is the right approach brain damaged twits

One of most remarkable US presentations at UN Security Council I've ever seen. - No reference to UN Charter legal justification - Claims Panama as precedent (which the UN condemned) - Energy reserves ⤵️ as justification is illegal - Sharp contrast with US Ambassador Pickering presentation in 1989

i'm one of the lucky 10,000 today! just learned the term fagslop! :)

When gods intend to make a city desolate, they inspire violence in one of the leading men. - Theognis of Megara

Remember a few weeks ago when Mark Kelly & a few others released a video reminding troops, “Our laws are clear — you can refuse illegal orders,” & Trump/Republicans melted down & called him a traitor Turns out we didn’t have to wait long for another preview of future courts martial

The wisdom of Mr. Rogers is eternal:

It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize. “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I stick to my conspiracy theory that he dines with Palantir-bros

The Kavanaugh stop, ladies, gentlemen, and fabulous enbies

i want to stress again that every time i try to explain this shit to normal people i sound like i have to be institutionalized

Whenever I see someone getting out over their skis on a foreign policy take I remember Caitlin Flanagan confusing Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khomeini and then claiming she was actually expressing a profound truth.

i really enjoy this bit from Beethoven's 7th, and I think I have @charliebrooker.bsky.social to blame for that www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCHR...

Rick’s right. Mainstream corporate record label “popular” music today is utter dreck. The good news is there‘s still infinite varieties of good stuff out there. I don’t stream at ALL. I buy lots of music on Bandcamp, where tons of good music can be found. m.youtube.com/watch?v=YXzB...

fun fact; i once used "frell" in a school essay and got told off for swearing bc the teacher was a nerd and knew farscape

1. try not to post things that will get you arrested 2. try not to post things that will make your friends want to off themselves

I am sorry if you are too dense to understand this reality, but that's not my problem. You either need to stop letting yourself get misled so easily or you need to think a little harder about the status quo versus the future we obviously should be striving for. For countless reasons.

"but what about those minerals we need for batteries and solar panels?" those less capable of thinking a few steps ahead will shout. You see folks, using those other technologies doesn't require that you SET FIRE to the resource you've extracted. Those resources are still there to be recycled.
