I’m in favor of a whole army or Luigis to sort this shit out.

To underline this, a Fox viewer isn't going there for data , its data plus coaching on how to say things. Remember that friend in HS who cave up with the lies to tell parents to get x or y thing you want? Thats Fox but for racist seniors. Their whole appeal is we will tell you what to say to others

Not NOW, mutant super pigs!!

people who forced them out in the first place. So yeah...the real reason for an invasion of Cuba is revenge.

Cuba embarrassed the US in 1959 by getting rid of American domination and then even further by resisting invasion and assassination and coup attempts over the following years. Cubans who fled have steadily advocated for a return to the old days and revenge on the

Remember folks, the endgame of the AI promoters is to start charging you for it. A lot. As soon as the possibility of working without it has been pushed off the table. Resist. It's your only hope.

Ironically, "crab-bodied minibrains" was also a slur our ancient ancestors used to refer to neanderthals.

The Fibonacci sequence appears throughout nature. For example, in the Earth's orbit around the sun, first it makes one complete revolution. Then one more. Then two more, then three more, then five more, and so on.

Paris has transformed more than 300 streets outside schools into pedestrian-only “garden streets,” replacing traffic and parking with trees, benches and light-coloured paving. Torched buff.ly/ILvaxmw #ShareGoodNewsToo

I'm begging for one article--just one--that is "Trump says Iran war is worth the economic pain. These urban voters in Harlem say `We told you he'd screw everything up, why didn't you listen to us?'" Just one. Just one "diner" interview in a place w a density above 1 per 1000 sq mi and < 95% white.

Art class should never stop being a thing. Like if right after our lunch breaks we all got to go down to the basement, throw on a smock and make collages out of old magazines while somebody's slightly witchy aunt tells us how great we're doing, I feel like we'd all be in a better place

Hello, old friend! Vantor just took this photograph of the Hubble space telescope while in orbit!! So cool!

On the left is an Onion headline from March. On the right is Reuters, today.

Wow, this is amazing!

Looked up Lupita Nyong'o (knew her face, didn't know her name) and literally laughed out loud at the idea she's not suitable to play Helen of Troy. You assume Helen's beauty is mostly historic hyperbole, so the only even mildly valid complaint might be that Nyongo is too attractive to play her.

No, they don't. That's why they invent and accept conspiracy theories.

tfw a platform you use every day has this banner on the login page, and you know something you used to get a lot of benefit from is about to be enshittified by AI

if that were true, there wouldn't be video of Party for Animal Welfare members holding their party banner behind Mattie McGrath TD and Cllr. Liam Browne while they made anti-Traveller remarks, including repeatedly suggesting they were all under threat of violence from Travellers for their stance

The part of your brain that processes emotions doesn't care if content is fake, it stores your emotional reaction to it as real. If I watch a thousand anti-immigrant videos, it doesn't matter if I know or even knew at the time that they were all AI fakes, I still train myself to fear immigrants.

This is exactly the phenomenon I was discussing in my thread yesterday (will attach below). Even if you can show a video is faked with AI, some people just don’t care - as long as it supports what they want to believe.

We call this design 'Kicking Random Man Up The Arse.' €5 from every sale goes directly to the World Food Programme's Palestine appeal >>> https://waterfordwhispers.shop/products/arse-kicked

The debate on our sanctions bill is ongoing. We must Sanction the genocidal state of Israel for their crimes of apartheid, genocide, and ethnic cleansing. We have cross party support, but the government are still against it. They must be pressured before the vote next Wednesday.

When Palestine is finally free and whole, I hope we invite them to join #Eurovision as one tiny part of the reparations we owe them for our lack of action.

#Eurovision kicking Russia out but letting Israel stay in is like that crusty bartender throwing the Nazi out of his bar right away to stop it from turning into a Nazi bar, and then a few days later seeing another Nazi come in wearing a different-coloured shirt, and deciding to serve him anyway.

Fuck yeah, Robin! Fuck yeah, Mark and Phyllis!!

I wasn't a Sinn Feiner like the person below, but they got my #1 vote more often than not, and were always in the top two. Seeing them support the far-right truck protest, and now opposing women's healthcare is intolerable. I'll accept them in a coallition if needed, but I won't vote for them again.

Spotted on Tumblr…

We fight on. Because the women of Ireland deserve better.  Tonight, Sinn Féin, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael chose not to support women, not to trust women, not to show compassion to those so cruelly forced to travel abroad for care.

Your argument is that decent people should spend their time being shouted at by neo-nazis, for the moral benefit of people who enjoy spending their time with those same neo-nazis?

That's it, that's the whole case

Can't stop thinking about image. Us middle-aged white men are never getting away from the accusations.

It looks like a man podcast about man podcasting.

The UK is about to have its 6th prime minister in 7 years because after 47 years of Thatcherism, nothing works any more. We're going to be stuck in an endless cycle of prime ministerial resignations until the failed neoliberal model is overturned.

This is one of those ideas that make you snort with amusement and then stop and think, "Hmm, but maybe...."
