I wonder what it’s like to live in a country where they still pretend to care.

Never in a million years did I think I’d have any nostalgia for the early 00’s.

Then I started rewatching Veronica Mars.

And.. man the angst I felt during Bush II seems quaint now.

They didn't have to train them at all. Conservatives have always operated by this maxim.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

I don't know how accurate this is. I wouldn't be surprised though.

Private corps do most of the cooking now, so being cheap is rewarded.

Hi.

Can everybody take a break for 72 hours?

I’d settle for 24.

Police Officer Helplessly Waves Arms at Waymo That Careened Wrong Way Through Whataburger Drive-Thru The San Antonio Police Department was forced to intervene after a Waymo vehicle drove into the drive-thru lane of a Whataburger.

Personally, I think the CEOs of these automated, driverless vehicles should be directly charged with manslaughter for any fatalities that result from their cars malfunctioning.

Netanyahu is a war criminal, responsible for killing and maiming many thousands of civilians - including children. Personally i dont want him in my country. He belongs in the Hague. So doTrump & Hegseth

For evidence, you can see how “pirating” decreased a good amount during Netflix’s “golden era”, before every studio and service got in the game.

I much prefer seeing movies in the theater. But folks who can’t go or don’t want to wait will turn to other means of watching

It might work in a world without torrents and cams.

But you’d be surprised at how watchable many of the cam torrents are. Obviously not the same as an official release, but good enough for most.

This would take cam torrents from a niche to a wider audience, especially for non-theater goers.

Seven Theses Against Viewpoint Diversity Demands for “viewpoint diversity,” a pillar of the Right’s strategy to remake higher education, collide with the pursuit of truth.

calls for “viewpoint diversity” are little more than demands for a quota system for political conservatives who otherwise could not hack it www.aaup.org/academe/issu...

One of the reasons I have come to enjoy wearing a mask is bc of my tendency to present RBF.

I used to frequently get asked what was wrong. Or what was I upset about.

Wearing a mask, ironically, means I don’t have to mask as much.

Frisco is a red burb outside of Dallas.

Like all surrounding burbs, it’s mostly a cesspool of hate and privilege.

WTF is wrong with these people?

It’s like a competition to see who can be the most evil, hateful, bastards.

Tennessee is determined to undermine HIPAA and punch down on a suffering minority to prove it’s the worst.

Ana Kasparian just read the most damning report on Israel's prisons.

Sexual torture is organized state policy, endorsed by the highest authorities.

Women are raped for days. Men are raped by dogs.

Fire extinguisher nozzles are inserted into bodies

This is how western media's moral state defend

News headline in black print on white background reads: Trump Says U.S. Will 'Blockade' Strait of Hormuz After Peace Talks Fail Text below reads: Vice President JD Vance said that talks between the U.S. and Iran had not produced a deal. Iran's top negotiator had suggested further talks were possible.

This is not a joke.

This is an attempt to pull other countries into the war.

Those cracking jokes are missing it. Iran was letting some ships pass. Other non-belligerent nations.

This is a threat to put the squeeze on those countries to pressure Iran.

A cousin of mine was killed by an Israeli cluster bomb decades ago.

They're horrible, indiscriminate weapons. Most countries have banned their use.

These monsters are still using them.

The number of times one of my kids has gone to a streaming service, to watch something that had been on the platform for months, only to find it wasn’t anymore is too many.

The same for paid purchases. Literally had YouTube remove things I “bought” after a few years.

I have 20 year old DVDs.

Israel is carrying out Genocide in Lebanon in order to ethnically cleanse it like Gaza.

It is time for the world to take action against Israel.

EFF is Leaving X After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue.

Lebanon was attacked by israel.

Civilians killed for no reason.

Families murdered. Why?

Because of Netanyahu.

Literally his orders.

I am not a democrat.

But I have voted for democratic politicians overwhelmingly.

Anyone who comes here to scold about hilary or kalama or whatever gets insta-blocked.

I have watched nominees get worse by the year and scolding voters does absolutely nothing. It makes them dislike you more.

Pretty obvious.

Why aren’t elected government positions based on meritocracy?

First of all, popularity contest isn’t a great way to choose a non-entertainment job.

But also, if you’re doing a horrible job you should just be fired.

Feeling in the vast minority on this

I *don’t* want shows to have more episodes.

Too many TV shows in the states had waaay too many episodes.

Tell your story. Tell it well. Move on.

I can only guess it’s character familiarity and a desire for “more of the same.”

I don’t get it.

Terrifying reality check on Al Jazeera. Israel is systematically detonating and completely destroying entire civilian towns and homes across Southern Lebanon. This is not a war, it is a deliberate campaign of ethnic cleansing and total erasure of Lebanese communities.

Where’s the outrage 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I still don’t understand NFTs.

Is it like Pokémon?

Capitalists support and foster fascism.

How many companies have stood up to the clown show government?

Modern corps are sociopathic entities. Viruses completely willing to devour their ‘host’ countries in pursuit of greater wealth.

If you don't draw the line at arming and supporting a genocide, where the F do you draw it?!

I got called an accelerationist, but if my only choice is genocide or genocide, what effing choice have I got?

Is it a wonder that most Americans don't vote???
