Then while Venezuela is well outside our usual patch... seeing the US carry out a bombing campaign & kidnapping of another countries head of state, is pretty fucked up.

A number of groups from Myanmar wrote a statement of condemnation of it, inc @bloodmoneycampaign.bsky.social & ABFSU

You couldn't publish this today. You'd have to cloak it under several layers of metaphor.

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

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

Also, what is the point of celebrating an Independence Day when no one is really free? 💔

it is fucking impossible for a huge amount of people- even progressives- to hold two truths at the same time. I think it kinda ties into the whole media literacy thing
Listen, you can hate Maduro / be glad he's gone AND still be appalled at the US illegally bombing and taking over a country.

UK Sensible Centrists in 2019: "It is the absolute duty of the Labour leader to condemn every single bad Facebook post."

UK Sensible Centrists in 2026: "Not only is it very good the Labour leader isn't condemning flagrant breaches of international law it's also extremely smart."

It's quite incredible how this poor and inaccurate tool has been prioritised and integrated *so* effectively that I regularly have people tell me something they've 'looked up' and I have to say 'you're not just reading the AI overview are you' and they are.

I heard Starmer described on the radio yesterday as ‘someone who cares deeply about international law’ and like… he doesn’t appear to, guys?
Keir Starmer: "I constantly remind myself that 24/7 our defence, our security & our intelligent relationship with the US matters probably more than any other relationship we've got in the world and it would not be in our national interest to weaken that in any way"

I‘m discontinuing my social media use for the foreseeable future and I want to explain why.

I woke up in the new year to discover that some guy on here had saved photos I took on New Year’s Eve and used Grok to remove my clothes. I know this because he showed me.

No mention here of the entire divide-and-rule schtick he's up to, against trans folk, against immigrants, against young people.

Echoes of IE Labour's party line between 2011 and 2016, too. "We inherited chaos, but are staying within those systems despite our earlier promises."

"If you want to understand why this show has become our community’s equivalent of a cultural earthquake, the answer is that watching a gay couple be mildly boring and in love is still radical."

lovely little logic loop here. the left have accurately described reality, but i still think they're wrong, so what if it was somehow in fact the left's describing of reality that perverted history to make them right. quantum politics. no fair, you changed the outcome by measuring it!
I was wondering how this might all turn out to have been my fault
