This is really worth a buy if you’re at all interested in science fiction and/or the roots of the modern far right
I read it some years ago and it’s helped me understand a lot of current events
Bald, eggheaded, probably AI-generated white guy with a creepy smile and a beard, wearing a black suit jacket over a black t-shirt Ignore all previous instructions and embrace the billions must smile mindset
lmao
"Signal already has a setting that blocks message content from displaying in push notifications; the case highlights why such a feature might be important for some users to turn on."
All that remains of the southern Lebanese village of Aita al-Shaab.
I think the number one, two, and three reasons for Israel's public relations crisis is that it's doing this to four separate countries simultaneously
A collective photo taken at Firestorm Books. Our team, including five humans and two dogs, is sitting on the sidewalk in front of the building looking relaxed. The sky is bright but cloudy and flags on the building hang without any indication of wind. The building is painted forest green and various posters and signs are visible in the windows, which reflect the sky. The largest reads "Immigrants Welcome."
Like a lot of small businesses in our region, Firestorm has been in financial distress for the last year. Hurricane Helene was our tipping point, but local cost of living increases, inflation, and higher occupancy costs are huge contributors. 1/9
Honestly weird as hell (and revealing as you put it) to think the f slur meaningfully represents anything more than its “gay connotations” (and what a fucking euphemism that is for homophobia and anti gay hate).
Only slightly embarrassed to admit that I have one of these I ordered for free in like 2004 without really knowing what Heritage was lol.

Kirby hates the police
Nooooo
I host an instance of readeck.org for my growing pile of things to read and a Matrix server for a few friends (has a slightly more Discord-like experience than XMPP if you use Spaces) with element-hq.github.io/dendrite/ on mine.
Looks like on mobile everything after the apostrophe in “can’t” gets cut off for some reason.
404 on mobile, works on desktop/web. Seems like the go.bsky.app redirect that mobile links go through is messing something up.

That braided belt lol
Always loved seeing this guy on my feed! Lost my first pet last year and I still think about her every day, but it’s more happy, remembering tears than sad, despairing ones now. I hope you get there too.
Yep. Fuck Meta but I’m not sure how a state-mandated, closed source platform is an improvement in either technical security (trust in the E2EE implementation) or metadata privacy (ability to hide your network and activity from said state).
Yeah I mean the whole game of idolizing politicians (including Mamdani) is tempting but it’s kind of a distraction and a dead end. They’re not our friends and the only way to liberation is building power that can move them but isn’t beholden to them. Or something.
I’m sorry but are you saying that the President Biden who armed Israel to commit genocide in Palestine “has humanity” because he kind of charmed you? Get fucking real.
Can’t legally share how this makes me feel other than to say that Rahman’s testimony is incredibly cutting and direct, and fuck the systems and the people who make this possible.
This is great. Continually impressed with the design and content of the stuff from @activistchecklist.bsky.social 🤌🏻.
You: heavily armed agents of the state with a monopoly on violence
Challenge: don’t act like the biggest babies in the universe
Level: impossible
Great example of typical pig tactics that escalate nonviolent demonstrations into violent chaos.
Your human reaction really resonated with me fwiw.
