Given the repeated pleas I’ve see to stop posting the snuff videos, this is an appreciation post for all y’all I follow. I’ve read every skeet not caught by my own (pretty light-touch tbh) filters and have not seen a one.

One of these made me gasp audibly. It’s a cartoon, and cartoony. But it’s graphic.
Political cartoonists are not fuckin’ around this week. (thread)

In all the horrors, do not forget that we take care of each other. That meeting people with different backgrounds makes life more interesting. Don’t let them take our joy of connection. We are all brothers 🥹
Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

not the **only** way to be anarchist

- Mutual aid
- Community self-defense
- Direct action
- …a diversity of tactics

Do what you can, in your place and within your means.
And support other people doing the things you can't or won't.

We need the whole damn toolbox!

The US is an aggressor nation run by a dictator who runs roughshod over the rule of law to suit his own whims.

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread

This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated.

According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

I again find myself grieving the web we once had. All the information in the world used to be available instantly, right at our fingertips.

Now search is so bad and slop is so prevalent that no result can be trusted unless it’s already a recognized publication. There’s no room for discovery.

There’s, like, extensive evidence that shows that hand writing things helps the brain to comprehend new information and think about problems (and therefore solve problems) better than any computer-assisted note taking can, including typing the same information.
it's not the same, but think about how many people can't write cursive anymore or whose handwriting skills have dropped off significantly because they type on a computer or iPhone screen instead of manually handwriting

it's an example of people favoring technology for its benefits over handwriting

clinical depression and social anxiety. i don't owe people things on social media. i don't have to engage in a conversation. i don't have to do anything. i'm not saying it's good, i'm just saying sorry i'm like this
Is there a term for when your friend isn't texting you back but is posting on social media

“If you’re cold they’re cold” bitch my dog just demanded to go out on to the terrace in sub-zero temperatures bc idk the cold turns him into a puppy.

He only came back inside bc he cannot suffer the pack being apart and we refused to leave the door open.

One of the things I love so much about Arthur Christmas (2011) is that it calls out adults making extraordinarily selfish decisions in a way that a lot of kids’ movies don’t. A lot of kids’ movies give grownups a pass bc they’re produced by grownups who justify the behavior amongst themselves.

It is fucking wild to me the shit that fashion magazines will try to make women feel bad about. I’m not going to link the article I just read about droopy earlobes but it included the phrase

“[an earring having a] swing is the enemy of healthy, toned holes”

Oh no, my healthy, toned holes.

Well there was that year I sustained an injury that left me bedridden for 3+ months.

And the year they used women as decoration for some reason.

And the year they decided the only party was at the main campus and the only people invited were some of the staff of the main campus.
poll: does your job have a holiday party? what % of places you've worked have had a holiday party?

Getting squishy on main for a sec:

When I was a kid I saw no evidence that two people in a relationship could even like each other after nearly 18 years, let alone adore each other as much as my spouse and I adore each other. Happy pre-solstice, friends.

Probably delete this later.

In high school in 2001 I took a “how liberal/conservative are you” quiz in my civics class. I scored extreme leftist in every issue but one: affirmative action. I was uninformed and thought it was no longer needed and racism was over. Then I grew up & moved to the real world where reality disagreed.
anyway back to topic. don’t ever let people make you believe that the specter of anti white racism and anti male sexism are a new or fringe belief. they were in the atmosphere 20 years ago, with children breathing them in and out like dust. it was normal and unremarkable to us. it was accepted

In case you haven’t read 1984 since high school, this is a literal execution of Winston’s job at the Ministry of Truth. He rewrites historical documents to reflect whatever past the Party has just claimed, then drops evidence of those changes down a chute to an incinerator known as the memory hole.
This really is, as Sara says, INSANE memory-holing: Minutes after FCC Chairman Carr told Congress that the FCC "is not" an independent agency (see video below via @atrupar.com), the FCC website started getting scrubbed to remove that description.

The US is giving real “reporting your neighbors to the authorities to be disappeared” vibes rn.
WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.
