I want to talk a little bit more about this from the other day bc I think it’s important.
As politics increasingly comes to mean “Everyone in the world vs a handful of tech overlords,” I think it’s important to be clear on the historical relationship between labor and technology.
Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
Cool! And it shares the same root as "gargle", sounds the same, which makes it easy to remember by association! 😀
Generations of interred Catholics, nothing but bones, suddenly sitting bolt upright, beginning to dig through whatever holds them below ground with an ugly gleam in their eye-sockets: "This MFer said WHAT?!?"
The worst of Protestantism AND the worst of Catholicism, all in one terrible theology sandwich!
shorter bishops: The pope did not stutter
For Fuck's Sake.
My god, the utter galaxy-class hubris on display with these people. I wish upon them [TOS VIOLATION TOS VIOLATION TOS VIOLATION]. And some [TOS VIOLATION] to boot.
I know I'm outside the cited demographic by age, but... I have goals for my money that do not involve losing it by engaging in self-induced addictive dopamine hazes in search of the next high. I've got enough stress in my life without that kind of elective risk-taking, TYVM.
This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)
As they say, some people are in to that! 😆
Which shouldn't even be a hard task because THERE'S SO MUCH OF IT
A series of posts from journalist Mark Chadbourn reporting on the acceptance speech of Péter Magyar after Hungarian elections: Péter Magyar: "Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again." Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 24m Magyar's speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: "He's basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired." •.. Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 22m He's announced that Hungary will join the European Prosecution Office so anyone in the country can be charged. Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 21m Magyar: "No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions." ... Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 20m Magyar says he's starting work with the EU and NATO immediately. "The EU doesn't have to worry anymore."
From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.
A must for whoever runs in 28
If there's one thing worse than embarrassing yourself in the face of the enemy it's embarrassing yourself in the face of your allies, and on the 10th April 1918 the Italian and French navies engaged in a synchronised display of competence the like of which we might hope never to see again.
So many people are So Bad at understanding media.

[screaming into the void]
Yes, I know it's satire.
[still screaming]
these are the stupidest people to ever live
And that bar is reasonably high to clear!
That could be... 😎 shockingly stimulating.
"Why don't Americans-" The ruling class of America has intentionally disempowered its citizens spread across 3,000+ miles of land and then funded the police force as an occupying army that happily murders anyone who opposes them and imprisons whoever is left as slave laborers. So phone calls it is
No. Just... no. Delusional, completely detached from reality.
How many people would be alive today if SCOTUS hadn’t nullified the Fourteenth Amendment’s Disqualification Clause? How many families would be whole? How many lives would be prosperous and happy?
Trump truth social post: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!
Sickeningly evil. Donald Trump must be impeached.
When will it be enough for my Republican colleagues to grow spines and remove him from office?
I would be incapable of living there and doing the house justice, but it is absolutely gorgeous.
Emphasizing again: you can transmit covid even if you don’t feel sick and even if you are vaccinated.
That is why we mask
During this incredible, unifying moment of inspiring international cooperation and spectacular technological achievement, I would really appreciate it if the US president would stop threatening to murder an entire country with bombs.
I dunno, but I've had him marked as GB type at CB for a while. I couldn't tell you what round would be worth the spend, but... he's Their Kind of Player.
A. Bold of you to assume insanity isn’t already the default, har de har
B. I’m already quite clear that my neurodivergent brain loves absorbing information at levels that would melt many NT brains, tyvm. Introvert to people, extrovert to data!
“JNS sought comment from him on Wednesday after the university removed him as director of the Middle East Center at its Jackson School of International Studies for sending an email newsletter framing Israel as the aggressor in the Iran war.”
Who do they think started the war?
