It's kind of reflex not to mention the names of my pets on social media. Cause, like, what if they get doxxed?

short version: they mask bc state security force defections are *the* mechanism through which nonviolent protest is successful. it's a repressive regime that has learned from the past 20 years of other repressive regimes who have all become increasingly skilled at stymieing nonviolent movements.
Veteran ICE officials @nickmiroff.bsky.social spoke with view the use of masks as an unquestionably negative development. But it’s not going away anytime soon, Miroff reports: https://theatln.tc/acMM0axK

Remember 25 years ago when a photo was taken of a fed pointing a gun at a crying refugee child and the image was so shameful it dominated the news cycle for a year

It’s disturbing and discomforting to examine but there are several anti-phone and anti-social media initiatives weaponizing murders and suicides of teens, leveraging grieving parents, and exaggerating or inventing causation to try and limit speech online and restrict tech freedoms

Hackers is truly one of my favourite films, and the costume design is impeccable. So cool seeing behind the scenes polaroids www.dazeddigital.com/fashion/arti...
Never-before-seen Polaroids from the set of cult cyber classic Hackers
25 years on from its release, costume designer Roger K Burton remembers the film that helped put cyberpunk style on the map

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

From The Chosen One Con, Max is fairly chill. At one point he gets almost fatally wounded and more or less brushes it off. Revenge is hassle he can't be bothered with.
Lyle on the other hand LIVES for revenge! The Arcanum destroyed his village and he'll see them destroyed in turn.

How does your MC feel about revenge? Is there anybody they want to take out? Do they think it would be satisfactory? #WritingPrompt

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.

If you're defending Senate Democrats go ahead and unfollow me now because human beings aren't political pawns and making them go without food for over a month FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON is cowardice. Now people won't have food OR HEALTHCARE.

Once again shows why parliamentary systems are better. Strong parties where the opposition doesn’t have quisling caucus built into them.

is it good when the dems in the house of representatives start calling for the senate to be abolished
I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

Shame is a fairly constant theme in recovery from trauma. Every act of violence committed against you leaves deep shame. 💔
There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. ALL of the shame lies at the feet of the perpetrator(s). Stand tall. 💐

No Kings is funded by the same people electing these assholes.
Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week
Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

Texas can enforce ban on sexually explicit drag shows
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling suggested not all drag shows are sexually explicit.

Dems truly make an anarchists critics of government so easy. Like literally prove all the time that they only serve capital and are the same guys as the Republicans.
There is no world in which the dems needed to cave and no one in office is that stupid. They did it because they simply wanted to.

I fucking knew she was transphobic. She's more upset the phone turned her kid gay than that other kids murdered her.
She's also apparently allergic to talking about her daughter as her daughter so it tracks.
