This is yet another reason that Capital's control over the media must be dismantled w/ extreme prejudice
The lack of media plurality in the United States, pound for pound, is worse than any 'developing country dictatorship' thats pointed to by either party as a "backwards, uncivilized nation state"
If you follow The Trump Admin's playbook from even before Day 1 of the war to Today it is quite obvious:
They are simply engaged in the physical actions and basic verbiage of continuing 'peace talks'.
They do this so the news cycle reports it as NEWS.
That gives them a paper trail of "we tried"
After building the best public education system in the world brought us the Counterculture and the Anti-War Movement, conservatives in the US began a 50+ year assault to destroy public education.
More people really need to understand what mission creep is and how the language of criminality will apply to literally everyone an authoritarian government deems fit.
Realizing US citizens paid $166 Billion in illegal tariffs and now it’s being refunded back to corporations instead of us.
Man, when you compare the bravery of every day Minnesotans to the overpaid cops it’s astounding

Every single millennial and Gen Z Republican politician you will ever see in office will be like this or worse.
A Forbes article about a father who killed eight children, with an embedded prediction widget inviting people to speculate on whether "Congress will pass new gun safety legislation before 31st December 2026"
ghoulish
In a nutshell. 😊
Klaus McForkface, a lifting robot developed by German manufacturer Linde AG, performed a stunning 1200-kilogram (2646 lb) overhead lift in Hamburg, beating the human world record by more than 300%
Here's a video of a Florida college student who was arrested for making a netanyahu joke in a whatsapp group chat, being arraigned before a US court. Land of the free, where you're free to go to prison for saying stuff the zionist and capitalist ruling class pedophiles and rapists do not like.
Until my dying day I will call for the Sick state of Israel to be razed to the ground and erased from history. I couldn’t give a flying fuck what anyone wishes to label me as. They are the cancer of the world.
Not a single person connected to Epstein has been jailed, besides Ghislaine Maxwell. But they want you to believe they care about the children. Demons walk among us.
Absolutely incredible.
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.
Watch with sound on.
Meta's data operation is valued at $1.4T. The people who generated that data got $0 in royalties.
The industry didn't forget to pay us. It was designed this way. #dataprivacy
Karis (@kwehzy): its officially been 5 months since i started my job search. only gotten 3 interviews after hundreds of applications. so many companies probably out there selling my data now. still no job! o
Is there any reason why we don’t get royalty payments from the use of our data other than that the tech industry would be bankrupted almost immediately? We’re all still producing a ton of value for these companies while stuck sending out hundreds of job applications for nothing.
Stalin : In my opinion there are two seats of war danger. The first is in the Far East, in the zone of Japan. I have in mind the numerous statements made by Japanese military men containing threats against other powers. The second seat is in the zone of Germany. It is hard to say which is the most menacing, but both exist and are active. Compared with these two principal seats of war danger, the Italian-Abyssinian war is an episode. At present, the Far Eastern seat of danger reveals the greatest activity. However, the centre of this danger may shift to Europe. This is indicated, for example, by the interview which Herr Hitler recently gave to a French newspaper. In this interview Hitler seems to have tried to say peaceful things, but he sprinkled his "peacefulness" so plentifully with threats against both France and the Soviet Union that nothing remained of his "peacefulness." You see, even when Herr Hitler wants to speak of peace he cannot avoid uttering threats. This is symptomatic. Howard : What situation or condition, in your opinion, furnishes the chief war menace today? Stalin : Capitalism.

Forget US courts, these kinds of crimes need to be tried internationally.

Cohost screenshot doodlemancy @doodlemancy 7 hr. ago the script at this point is just company: we're going to do something really extremely bad for our customers and possibly even people who aren't our customers. we think this is good an enormous, furious internet mob: we hate this company: we'd like to clarify our intentions. just to be clear: we're doing the same thing but we'd like you to hate it a little less now
Discord delaying the age verification and saying they'll vet partners is really the perfect example of:
The Israeli army struck civilians in the Lebanese city of Mayfadoun.
And then, the Israelis double-tapped the medics who arrived onto the scene.
And then, they triple-tapped the next wave of medics.
And then, they did it one more time for good measure.
A quote stating: "Under capitalism, it's normal to let children go hungry, let banks force people out of their homes, let sick people die for lack of access to healthcare. But the idea that billionaires could just be less rich - not poor, not struggling, just less rich, is considered insane"
Happy #SocialistSunday to those who celebrate
An infographic. There are six panels. 1. "Slow internet. Alt text is shown in place of unloaded images." a drawing shows a phone with poor signal, and alt text is visible where the image should have loaded. 2. "Findabillity. Alt text helps to search content." A drawing shows someone searching 'dog with banana' and a post is shown underneath without the words 'dog' or 'banana'. It is implied to be part of the alt text. 3. "Screen readers. Alt is read out to people using text-to-speech software". There is a drawing of the output a screen-reader would show when viewing an image with alt text on bluesky. 4. "Translation. Alt text can be translated". A drawing shows a post being translated. The alt text is also translated into german. 5. "Readability. Text in images can be made legible" There is a drawing of some truly awful handwriting inside a speech bubble. The alt text clarifies what the text is supposed to say. 6. "Disambiguation. Description helps clarify intent." There is a drawing of a post with a picture of a creature. This is styled after the famous optical illusion of a rabbit and a duck. The alt text clarifies that the animal is a rabbit. It definitely looks more like a duck.
Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs.
However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.
Best of luck to every single mom holding it down and taking care of an aging parent AND a kid.
I guess according to Republicans, you aren't the head of a family because your man wasn't ****.
Fox News beta cuck Sean Hannity: “As of today, I no longer consider myself a Catholic.”
Not only selling out your dignity and integrity but also your eternal afterlife for a man who would push you in front of a bus if you got in his way.
Good work.
