Chappelle thought that making jokes about violently marginalized groups has no consequences? He helped normalize that horrendous bullshit and wants to escape accountability for his actions. I can't believe someone who I thought was so smart was too stupid to see these outcomes he, in part, ushered.
My guess is refusing to go along with illegal orders any longer. WTF is happening in that country?! apnews.com/article/pent...
Who is just now discovering the manipulative dangers of gamification in apps?! It's 2026.

If members of US #press were interested in true #justice, they'd be photographing EVERY SINGLE UNMASKED MEMBER OF #ICE in the airports. Facial #recognition #software is good enough to get confident matches on 25% of the #face many still display while brutalizing the public.
Please stop with the ai slop. Most of it is Americans who are out-consuming most of us on natural resources to post this garbage and then using their military to steal more resources. Trying being a decent culture for a change.
This is what happens when your country (or state) puts religion before education.
The US really is a Trumpian shit hole country.
The US doesn't understand China at all. Dummies think Straight of Hormuz is going to negatively impact the nation with the largest, fast-growing renewable energy infrastructure in the world. Clowns. China is going to sell the US energy on top of everything else, and the US will lap it up. Muppets!
Gas prices are up in every state and the biggest increases are hitting key political battlegrounds.
States with competitive races like Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin and Michigan have seen price jumps of at least $1 per gallon.

It's almost as if #Trump attacked #Venezuela first so the US would have an #oil supply to tap once it fucked with #Iran.
a screenshot of a social media post that says, "If all the billionaires take a vacation for a whole month, nothing happens. If dock workers, line cooks, nannies & truck drivers all refused to work today, whole entire economy would be thrown in crisis. This is the difference between the essential worker & the billionaire leech."
Can you imagine a #generalstrike in the US of even just 15% of the #labor class?! People in the US need to rise up or they're going to get left behind. Other countries are already negotiating trade around them, cutting them off. They produce so little and can't in many cases.
Trump appears to have so few accomplishments of his own that he keeps taking credit for things signed by the Biden admin. You Americans really need to recall him.
You know, I wouldn't be surprised if you American's learned one day that Epstein or someone on his payroll was actually "Q" and that "Pizzagate" was an op to discredit the concept of a pedo-ring of billionaires because if it's just weirdos on 4chan talking about it, it can't be real, right?
Fuck DJT
What else needs to be said besides this headline and that #Trump is down -47% with #Independent voters before going into his #SOTU. I've read his SOTU was the longest meandering diatribe of lies and deceit to date. I wonder if the US is tired of winning, yet? www.newsweek.com/sotu-democra...
"President of Peace" orders continued strikes in Africa involving US troops. There, I fixed the headline. The US has a bullshit problem...they keep believing bullshit. #trump ground.news/article/soma...
And now we find out that the 2025 jobs numbers had to be revised down by over ONE MILLION?! Well, I called it days ago. It's not too hard, really. US folks really need to vote that whole lot out and soon!
a graphic that says "MS AI CEO: virtually all white collar tasks will be automated within 18 months"
Who's going to tell the #microsoft AI CEO that his is the whitest, most automate-able collar of the lot?
Facebook trying to hide that it just borrowed $100B to "invest" into AI infrastructure sure feels like US banks setting up the rest of us for another dot-com bubble. The tactics aren't even different and so now it feels deliberate. $1T in capitalization is already gone...just $35T more to go.
Electricity prices being driven up by #datacenters are showing people how the supply/demand economic model is cruel and yet another lie #capitalist have used to bleed and exploit the labor class. #defundcorporatewelfare
I'm clutching my pearls and gasping in disbelief that the greediest man in the world would break any laws or violate any sanction for the acquisition of more money.
Generally, crypto currencies are down since mid-January. Some, like Bitcoin, are dropping quickly; it's down almost $40,000. Why do we talk about them like investment instruments when they're currencies that don't act like currencies, stocks, or bonds? Jobs report hasn't helped any of oddly enough.
The GOP is going to the well too many times, and can no longer draw up effective culture war vectors. If the Democrats sweep the midterms it'll be a miracle of uncoordinated election interference by the Republicans, not because people are thrilled to vote for yet more pro-Israel politicians
Anyone questioning the legitimacy of the latest jobs report in the US? We've seen the Trump administration issue corrections months later that cut numbers in half before. Is this yet another attempt to distract their prols from Jeffrey Epstein? #jobsreport #releasethefiles
Ashleigh Giannoccaro, Robin Ash, Niva Cole, Coral Hart
Every time I see/hear Ryan Holiday, I'm closer to burning all the stoicism books I have of his that I read partly through and found myself repeating over and over, "how is that your interpretation? do you even know what nuance is?!" Yet another thing the US has to answer for.
Friendly reminder that the #epsteinfiles record some of the history of these heinous crimes, but they haven't stopped and some or even most of the named people are STILL DOING THIS SHIT!
Signal boost - You should never be trusting biometric unlocks for your phone. Police in the US are allowed to force you to unlock you devices if it only takes a fingerprint or retina, but they can't force you to enter a pin number.
