It’s not enough to be not; be anti-. Anti-fascist. Anti-racist. Anti-bigot. Anti-supremacist. Anti-capitalist. #CapitalismPoisonsEverything
Expect a whole sort of general mishmash of my interests & passions, w/ a lot of #Splatoon3 stuff.

When cruelty is the point, as it so very clearly is with these fascists, every act of kindness is an act of resistance.
Be kind, look out for each other, and stomp your boots on the faces of fascism.

We have less than a year to get rid of weak, corporate centrists and milquetoast Democrats heading into the midterms.
There has to be a 2 to 4-year culling project.
Have to get rid of all of them.
They are part of the problem, and they aren't made for this moment or built for this fight.

Republicans: WE NOMINATE SKELETOR
Democrats: We dislike Skeletor but we will vote to confirm him. Please give us between 5 and 50 dollars.

Democrats: I stand before you to condemn the actions of Skeletor. He should have never been given this power. Please give me between 5 and 50 dollars.

Hopefully they simply overheat and breakdown in space due to insufficient radiative cooling and hardening against radiation. Further hopefully the money wasted on such ventures absolutely craters every company and investor involved.

It really cannot be emphasized enough that the Holocaust was modeled after the American campaign to displace and exterminate Indigenous people. This country drew up that blueprint.
Fascism isn’t new to the US. It’s always been here. It’s built into this country‘s DNA. Bigotry is our primary export. We just quantified and qualified it under the false title of ”freedom” because that’s what the masses here want & what (yht) ppl with guns & bibles as their personality like to hear
No kidding. I remember when our local government wanted record stores to track names of everyone buying metal records. (Maybe rap too and I’ve just forgotten?)
(Why do I remember this? A good friend of mine owned a record store, and as a new librarian I had some strong opinions, and ideas.)

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

You don’t look cool and relatable for lacking empathy. You look like a sociopath that walks amongst the rest of us who don’t have to be directly impacted in order to care about human suffering

If anyone is interested in learning basic programming or python, I HIGHLY recommend this. Granted, I didn’t take the course, but I followed the book on my own and it is an OUTSTANDING way to learn some python skills to do what the title says: Automate the Boring Stuff! 😎👍🏼
The course that follows along with my Automate the Boring Stuff with Python book is free on Udemy if you sign up in the next four days with the link in this post: www.reddit.com/r/learnprogr...

Same with scientists. Each "fun" generative AI thing shared makes me a little less confident in the quality of your research.
Deleted a repost of a thread.
Looking closer, the person is comfortable sharing AI images & video. Was the thread also AI? Was it accurate?
I’d rather not take the chance and share it.
Journalists, keep this in mind. “Fun” AI videos & images undercut your credibility.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.
