Some good points here Knowing about the 1930s and 40s, and a general history of activism has no skills transferable into capital gain, but it is definitely helping me to see, predict and prepare for what's happening in the world currently lytagold.substack.com/p/this-is-wh...

📚 Comics have always been political, and stories like this feel especially important right now. 🚨 @fantagraphics.bsky.social announces VISITING AMERICA, R.E. Burke's graphic memoir recounting 19 days in ICE detention and the women she met inside. Coming May 2027.

my take on gambling is that if you don't outright ban it, it should at least not be possible from the comfort of your home with the press of a button on your phone. at least make people physically go somewhere to do it. maybe even require the use of physical cash

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Sure seems like ICE had three deaths in 24 hours, knew how bad it would look, and are trying to draw it out so people won’t notice.

Notice that CORECIVIC confirmed the SD death, not ICE. A man died at the Folkston Ga. ICE camp on Friday, and ICE confirmed it the next day. The person in SD died Saturday, plus the third person in AZ over the weekend. ICE has yet to acknowledge either. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

For several days I have been hearing rumors of an ICE detainee death that ICE was not reporting. I've just learned a local journalist has confirmed it and will publish soon. Now I read this and see there are actually TWO deaths ICE is not reporting. www.daylightsandiego.org/ice-detainee...

c'moooon depressed KFC picture. Like father like son

Surveillance technology exported from the EU risks being used for internal repression and other human rights violations. The European Commission must strengthen export controls, ensure human rights risks are assessed, and improve transparency around exports.

Less of a problem though when they can rely on the BBC to broadcast the whole thing.

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

The online part was important too, of course. We collectively decided to not interact with any right wing post or comment ever. Trolls and bots lost their power. This is a good lesson.

"Specialists" are gonna focus on how we fought the algorithm, but a huge part of it was actually about people being on the streets educating others and changing their opinions. News media refused to tell people about the crimes and intentions of the bolsonaro family, so we did that ourselves.

It's another day, so let's talk about this. First of all, Lula didn't win the election alone. He won because more than half of the country FREAKED THE FUCK OUT and built a popular movement that organized several actions both irl and online.

if you want to follow ANYTHING from what elected Lula here in brazil, this is the most important lesson and change of mindset that happened here just don't give them the attention they want. let them speak amongst themselves and let us win by silencing them with our voices

“Be Strong enough to be gentle.” Peter Cullen tells the story of how his brother inspired the voice he would use to play Optimus Prime. It’s a simple yet poignant quote that sums up why Optimus and Peter are so beloved. Til All Are One. 💔

Didn’t Yglesias write that op-ed where he said it was totally fine if thousands of Bangladeshi factory workers were murdered via criminal negligence because different countries have different labor laws and that’s fine

"please do not talk about all the bad sides of our product, which is the entire product, as it will adversely affect our value" I'm convinced that nobody who runs a business knows how to do it.

Great work everyone, do it more

listen to @trangirlismo.bsky.social the only podcast for car lovers who are gay women that hate cars

So if you struggle to be creative stop thinking about yourself and the perception of yourself for five fucking seconds this is science ™. Thank you for coming to my podcast tldr

I have several paragraphs bear w me: I’m first to call bullshit on brain science because it’s reductive eugenics 99 percent of the time but I was listening to an interview w a neuroscientist who studies creativity (and voiced appropriate scorn towards pop/science brain narratives)

the UK has the loosest gambling laws in Europe and let me tell you: this is one of the things that is killing every. thing. else. property greed is the other. but gambling is destroying high streets, areas, social cohesion; if you don't live in an area infested with slot arcades you don't get it

Im glad I saved this before deactivating my twitter and losing my discord where I had posted it

Massive company that the motorsports industry is propping up currently: “that’s too detailed to print, this file is unusable” My homie who’s actually educated: “Best file setup I’ve seen in years, I can do it no problem” SUPPORT TOUR LOCAL SCREENPRINTER.

Order im progresso I guess

During the brazilian elections we learned one obvious but important tactic to defeat the far right on the Internet and I think everyone should know it: IGNORE THEM! DON'T ENGAGE WITH THEIR CONTENT! DON'T MAKE CONTENT REACTING TO THEM! DON'T HATE QRT! LET THEM ALONE IN THEIR BUBBLE!

I see our media has learned valuable lessons from the past TEN YEARS of false equivalences between “funny harmless banter from a Democrat” and “genuine treason and rape apologia from a Republican” and has decided to double down

I love following a bunch of swole socialists who hit the gym so whenever a conservative lifts something and posts about how manly they are, I can watch them all line up to dunk on him. it's genuinely beautiful

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

It just occurred to me... how many idiots have pre-ordered a Tesla Roadster and then died of old age? It's gotta be at least 10. Maybe even 100.

There is an evil beyond words in the heart of the man featured in this article.

Wow this fucking sucks!
