HUGE THANK YOU TO GREG

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

Going live in 30 minutes!!

Playing lots of Dishonored recently. Saw this today and was immediately traversing it to avoid guards in my head.

ICEBREAKER begins in half an hour!

CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! (I never post Olympic videos bc the IOC will hunt you down but I am taking that risk so that you can hear the Canadian curling cursing)

ah, dang it, i found an "ai" product that is legit incredibly helpful and seems to be somewhat less evil than others. this doesn't change my belief that the laborist, neo-luddite stance is correct, but damn this is incredible. congrats, deepl, you find me conflicted.

Roses are red Our resolve hasn't faltered

IT WOULDN'T BE OKAY IF THEY WERE CRIMINALS, EITHER.

Roses are red And I guess love is nice But I’ll feel much better When we get rid of ICE

Much of my youth revolved around the website ZineLibrary. It went down around Occupy in a massive loss for a movement whose ideas and knowledge mostly doesn't circulate online but in person. Anyway I've put it back online with a *thousand* anarchist zines: zinelibrary.org

Shooting dozens of rounds of tear gas and using pepper spray and their batons, the SPVM violently pushed back more than a thousand people who showed up this afternoon to send a message to GardaWorld over their contracts with ICE at their offices and training center in Ville Saint-Laurent. (thread)

get the kid in the brown hoodie a scholarship

"civil debate" thing is fake, liberal college bullshit IRL if you express an abhorrent position, people don't debate you, they look horrified and boo you, try to ignore you, laugh at you, or beat you

snake. this is Dank Weedman. we need you to infiltrate the Final Sesh. intelligence we got from the head shop infiltration indicates that they are constructing Metal Gear BONG in there. that's right -- theyve added carburetors and a water chamber to the walking tank, making its lethality the highest

It’s just a term that divides up the working class along differences in experience rather than fundamental class positionality

riding a motorcycle in a latin american city is hilarious because every worst impulse that the riding courses try to beat out of you is just how it works here, and it's chill, actually.

No one gets called the town bicycle anymore, because of car culture

I am wary of any politicians doing a victory lap today before we’ve seen on the ground that ICE has left. Their surety makes me think that they negotiated something and I think they owe it to us to be as transparent as possible about what that is.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Maybe a lot of our controversies around "AI" could be solved if we took it off the pedestal and saw it as an NLP tech that lets us build NLP interfaces on systems that require consciously building other components that do actual reasoning, data collection and decision making etc.

an essential thread as the paid news largely moves on

I'll step through a few things here systematically so that I make myself clear. Many people have talked about "neutralizing" tear gas or pepper spray. You REALLY do not want to do that on your skin or in your eyes. (5 of x)

it’s weird, to run this website and have a very distinct marker for how much people care about what’s happening in Minnesota it feels especially not great to look at as eviction notices start to get served for families are still locked down hiding from ICE, who are still roving the streets

happy meat day, everyone! (i'll say it again september 2nd, just to cover bases.)

i hope they do nice and helpful things with, for, and to him for a very long time.

riding the train to nyc with someone making dinner plans with "amanda palmer and lisa, who's all freaked out after she got cancelled over this whole epstein thing." i don't think i'm in danger, but i might be in the presence of evil.

i have really enjoying this album lately and also this is very funny

backpack travelers vs suitcase tourists

Georg von Trapp was a military officer loyal to a dictatorship that took its example from Mussolini's Italy. He is not an anti-fascist. He's an Austrian nationalist.

I’m here in Minneapolis and in a few groups responding to the attacks - observing, recording, warning but also getting groceries to people in hiding. The post below doesn’t ring true to me at all. The volunteers are amazing (most do more than I do), and NOBODY is worried about protestor behavior.

like a virgin touchdown for the very first time like a vir-r-r-r-gin when she rails me on the ten-yard line

People said in 2003, do not pass the Patriot Act It gives the president too much authority to get us into foreign wars And will open the door to a "war on terror" at home Most people didn't listen in the wake of that trauma But Democrats had MANY years & opportunities to fix it And they didn't

retweet if you think trans people deserve a pack of cigarettes, six passports, nine flip phones, a pistol, a set of handcuffs, plane tickets, the key to a storage locker in ulaanbaatar, and $20,000 in cash

Throughout the ICE raids, local and state police who answer to Democrat politicians have consistently done the dirty work to enable ICE to continue its campaign of ethnic cleansing. Politicians who talk about "maintaining order" are complicit in this campaign of terror. It's up to us. Just us.

Sight in San Francisco (from a friend)

Anyone who blames protesters for ICE violence is an ICE snitch

Actually I'm just blocking them. There are enough bitches who don't know what the fuck they're talking about on this site as is. Anyway if you want to know about indigenous food culture, TALK TO INDIGENOUS PEOPLE???

ai boosters should at least *try* to reckon with antis who are not opposed to the technologies on principle but take an absolutist stance because the material conditions of the tech are entirely unacceptable. the o.g. luddites did not hate looms, they loved craft and dignity more

Doing art badly is good and sacred

Amy Klobuchar running for Governor of Minnesota

Ok well first of all the LEAST important thing about making art is being good at it so write that down

I don't know why it took a video posted by Trump for the media to realize he's racist when DHS is engaged in an ethnic cleansing campaign in Minneapolis.

On the one hand, I get it, the powerful image of killing liberty or dragging away democracy is meant to challenge us. But also … we are past surprise. There is no negotiation or fixing this. De arrest comrades. Wear black block. Organize. And do not respond to lethal threats with begging.

to many enjoyers of aesthetic production, unprofessional is "folk art,""craft," or "punk rock" and a value unto itself. and it's usually made by people who have learned themselves because the act of realizing their desire was worth finding the time and putting in the effort

free them all

the optic's mounted so badly even the photo of it is blurry

i'm *so* sick of all these lesbian werewolf drawings that only have two tits.
