antifa descending en masse upon (Communist) Party City

Your reminder—or maybe no one ever told you—that complications from a measles infection include immune amnesia (where you lose immunity to everything), vision and hearing loss, brain damage, and a fatal brain disease called Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis that can show up years later.

Hundreds of children in multiple states are in quarantine and on remote learning due to measles outbreaks. The decline in MMR vaccinations has resulted in the US experiencing an increase of measles cases with 1563 total cases & 3 deaths since January. #Pinks

the fact that career skills generally cost huge quantities of money that most people can afford only once in their life, and which must be decided on at the age of 18, is I think a major problem in our society

“Who was president in 2020?” remains one of the most pertinent questions in American politics—absurd, yes, but here we are—and that extends to “who was president January 1 - 19, 2021?”

its really funny how the story people tell about the origin of the Nobel Prize is basically entirely mythological and makes no sense once you look at the history but its a great story with a moral, so it persists like a latter day Aesopian fable

Very funny considering this was about six months ago bsky.app/profile/edzi...

AI has lost the dunce vote. It’s over

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

People will try to excuse/defend the chuds by saying they've just watched too much porn but I'm a dyke who watches porn all the time and don't have this problem. Chuds do this because forcing every woman into their ideal sex doll aesthetic is the power fantasy.

we need more scifi shows with low saturation men dressed like they came from a ren fairy who wield ray guns and laser swords

When an makes art from an era of science fiction design that is no longer in fashion but which is immensely more rich and intense and evocative than the stuff we have now

Ghana’s foreign minister just posted this to X: “The Ghanaian Government is pleased to note that our refusal to accept Abrego Garcia has been duly acknowledged and complied with by the US Department of Homeland Security.”

mechanical vernier calipers are far superior to digital calipers for day to day use in my experience

antifa bogeyman in nutshell: label whomever opposition is "antifa" — in this case Resistance 2.0 "No Kings" folks — creating pretext to target them w/ state/vigilante violence also sews division, w/ moderates fretting abt appearing too extreme, making them punch left, undercutting solidarity

It also destroys the BIG SCARY ANTIFA THUG GANGS TZERRORIST BURNING CITZY OMGERD bullshit when you see a bunch of awesome dorks dancing around

Now we're seeing confirmation of the NSO acquisition. Mark my words, this is the path through which Pegasus gets put on Americans iPhones & Androids. This dictatorship-in-a-box belongs nowhere near our constitutional rights.

uh oh. trump threatened more tariffs on china. guess that means you should buy some stocks now while they're low, before he retracts it and they all spoke again

"What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid."

This is enough carbon-free energy to power maybe two thirds of Vegas btw

It won’t get the press it deserves in the US, but this was sovereign citizen, hard-right fundamentalist Christian terrorism that Australians picked up from US SovCits. Piercings do not make a leftist; illegal gun rooms and End Times fantasies make hard right terrorists.

BREAKING: Federal judge issues a TRO in the Northern District of Illinois (including Chicago and the Broadview ICE facility), providing protections for protesters and journalists covering the protests. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Some of the key elements:

On twitter one person with a million+ followers referred to the crowd as an "antifa army".

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope! and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

ironically, this is generally not true. bubbles happen because of exuberance and irrationality. the more talk there is of a bubble, the more cautious people get now, i'm not saying there isn't a bubble or that it won't pop, but there's been constant talk since 2010 and yet no pop

My goodness, Baldwin could had written this last week.

You can read the full essay—that Baldwin wrote after Angela had been arrested and put on trail—here

James Baldwin to Angela Davis in 1970, discussing white Americans:

Hey so... did you know that the Mormon Church filed an amicus curiae brief on the 19th of September? Me either... www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24... In short, "Giving trans people rights hurts us because it ruins our religious freedom to be bigots!"

been watching a bunch of scifi movies from the 80s and 90s lately and there is a consistent tendency for the story to raise questions in the viewer about how the fuck something would happen, and almost IMMEDIATELY the movie then answers is

Not only this is amazing because part of fascism is the destruction of joy but it also makes it look ridiculous that the military is being deployed to put a stop to this

Like imagine studying HeLa cell line and its impact on cytology that helped eg eradicate polio, but never throughout will you learn it was illegaly taken from Henrietta Lacks, even though she finally got some recognition as of late. If you don't take "ethics in medicine" course or w/e you won't know

I know it's not news to anyone that racist doctors did heinous shit to black ppl "for science", but I feel like it's vastly underestimated/not spelled enough the sheer extent of how much medical science is built upon the suffering of racially marginalized, at least in the medical circles themselves.

Did you know that entire fields of cytology, molecular biology, microbiology, endocrinology, etc would basically literally just not exist the way they are today if not for the doctors and scientists unethically experimenting and harvesting samples from black people, most of all black women?

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The tank's role is to draw aggro

it's so funny how reddit anarchists 15 years ago had an almost perfect read on the pulse of america and it's near future

I feel like this should be a bigger story

Don’t take the bait No violence! Keep it goofy, whimsical, and weird Be defiant peacefully

the great dystopian fictions of the past have done very poorly at preparing us for how pathetic and loser-y authoritarians actually are

Follow her everywhere with goofy costumes and silly music Check out their videographer & photographer behind them They are making sizzle reels Ruin all their shots Fuck up their propaganda projects They’ll still make them, but they’ll have to fake everything It will be so lame & phony looking 😂

great video by @moreperfectunion.bsky.social about the effects of monopolism in the food industry and how its homogenizing US restaurants and destroying local food variety and local food economies www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXXQ...

my loom's jacquard mechanism is working in full scale now! 20 heddles! ahaha :) caution: loud noises

make no mistake. this is the natural consequence of mainstream politicians accepting the war on terror. this is solidly the result of both parties' willingness to treat terrorism as a gotcha against civil liberties

@luna2300.bsky.social your youtube channel is pretty cool but please don't post that to everything that i mention
