If you put the words "LOCAL FOOL" in place of Elon Musk, the headlines make more sense. People who cover him should try it to see if it helps clear up their reporting.

@danika.bsky.social it obviously sucks that you lost your job (or rather, by the sound of it, the stability of employment) but it has been great to have you hanging with the old crew again. #seethroughwife

Was Hitchcock fucking with us?

A ★★★½ review of Vertigo (1958)
Wait, Hitchcock was fucking with us, wasn't he? The silly story, Stewart's terrible acting, the abrupt in-your-face ending. The massive score and the vivid colours, turned all the way up to 11. This i...

the bot problem on here is a good window into the spam industrial complex underlying the internet with which every site must wage Forever War, lest they be subsumed and drown beneath the waves

it's so much worse than you think

“The Israeli newspaper Haaretz featured accounts from IDF soldiers who served in Gaza, stating that civilians, even children, are being treated as combatants. The regime of arbitrary, even competitive killing, was described as “the wild west on steroids”.”

These guys are born bootlickers and they love Trump for his feudalism. They recognize in him a man who like themselves sees himself as above the law and the world in purely transactional terms. They want to lick his boots and they expect to get something in return for it

"I det internationella klimatarbetets stundtals absurda värld, kan vi alltså shoppa loss på Shein och Temu och samtidigt se ut som klimathjältar i den officiella statistiken. Och när någon påpekar att Sverige inte gör sin beskärda del av Parisavtalet, kan vi svara ”men Kina då?”"
"Modegiganten Shein har blixtsnabbt utvecklats till branschens största klimatbov. På bara ett år, från 2022 till 2023, fördubblades bolagets utsläpp. Varje dag skickar Temu och Shein runt 9 000 ton gods med flygfrakt, motsvarande 88 fullastade Boeing 777, från Kina till köpglada kunder i väst."
"Tonårstjejerna på tåget utanför Jönköping sitter och stirrar på sina mobiler. ”Kolla, det är helt sjukt”, säger den ena. Hon har klickat sig till en proppfull shoppingkorg på Shein. Tröjor, byxor, toppar, en hatt, något till – allt för mindre än 200 kronor."

Ja, så stor att jag skrev en hel text om det.

Framförallt att jag blivit mer övertygad om att det bästa vi kan göra för att göra motstånd mot troll och högerextrema är att sluta vara reaktiva och ”ta debatten”, och istället bygga eget, tramsa och få vara mänskliga med allt vad det innebär.

A political benefit of Republicans robbing us of social benefits, keeping us impoverished & unhealthy, stymying our literacy, historical, & actual is that it creates miserable, hateful ppl who seek blame but don’t have the critical thinking skills to blame those responsible. Essentially their base.

I don’t know how people can have legitimate struggles or worries and decide the solution to that is taking it out on people with less power than them but that’s basically 80% of human history
