Meta is so fucked that they are now preventing us from scrolling passed an ad on instagram
A notification on Instagram titled “About ad breaks” with a clock icon surrounded by colored lines. The message reads: “Ad breaks are a new way for you to see ads on Instagram. You can manage how you see ads.” Below the text is a blue button labeled “Learn more.” The Instagram handle “seanchoiche” is partially visible at the bottom with a verified checkmark and location set to New York.

Sat for a second chance screening of Past Lives before #TheMaterialists
A dimly lit cinema auditorium with rows of empty dark seats facing a screen displaying pre-show content. The screen features three panels: the first advertises a film event called “IMAGINE” scheduled for June 20–22; the middle panel promotes a screening of Past Lives as part of the “Second Chance Cinema” series; the third panel shows an Instagram post of a dessert (a pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream) from the account @LAB_111. Neon purple light strips illuminate the right wall of the theater.

Onto the next with #VultureCapitalism from @graceblakeley.substack.com
A person holds a book titled Vulture Capitalism: How to Survive in an Age of Corporate Greed by Grace Blakeley. The cover is mostly white with bold red and black text. At the top, there’s a quote from Naomi Klein: “Blakeley charts a path forward based in hope.” Above the title is a barcode illustration with two red fists gripping the bars, resembling prison bars. The book is published by Bloomsbury and was longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction. In the background, there are books and household items on shelves.

It reads like a thriller and stuns like a drama
open book is shown resting on someone’s lap on a balcony with green plants in the background. The visible left page features a paragraph with several phrases underlined in blue, including “cloak of invisibility,” “the true nature of capitalism,” and “speak their names.” Below the text, the word “BRAVO.” is handwritten in blue ink. The right page is titled “Notes” and includes references under the heading “2. The ‘Free’ Market.” A glass of water is on the railing next to the plants. The scene evokes a thoughtful, outdoor reading moment.

Oh we are so back #AbbottElementary
A television screen displays a scene from a show featuring a woman looking frightened with long dark hair wearing a navy blue top and a lanyard, walking in a school hallway while holding a beige coat. The room she’s in has a brick wall and a bench. The TV sits on a wooden cabinet, and in the foreground there is a table with papers, sunglasses, and what appears to be a peeled grapefruit. Above the TV, three colorful framed artworks hang on the wall.

If nothing else in this book were true, this is enough of a reason to abolish the existence of billionaires
#TheInvisibleDoctrine #Neoliberalism
A close-up photo of a book page discussing economic inequality. Key sections are underlined in blue and highlighted with orange brackets. The text notes that from 1990 to 2020, the wealth of US billionaires increased twelvefold, while the bottom 90 percent lost $47 trillion. It also states that since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the ten richest men have doubled their wealth, while an additional 163 million people have been pushed below the poverty line.

If you thought I was annoying before, just you wait.

Thank you @georgemonbiot.bsky.social @peterhutchison.bsky.social
A close-up photo of the book “The Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism (& How It Came to Control Your Life)” published by Penguin. The book cover features an image of an axe embedded in a tree stump. A red and beige pen is placed diagonally across the book, partially covering a quote that reads, “This book is dynamite” — Caroline Lucas. The surface underneath appears to be a wooden table.

The intent is the same. The influence is the same—if not greater. The stage is exponentially bigger.

We’ve seen extremist networks groom individuals into violence, using these platforms to radicalize and incite. The consequences are real.
29 September 2022 Myanmar: Facebook's systems promoted violence against Rohingya; Meta owes reparations - new report Facebook owner Meta's dangerous algorithms and reckless pursuit of profit substantially contributed to the atrocities perpetrated by the Myanmar military against the Rohingya people in 2017, Amnesty International said in a new report published today. 15 March 2019 Forty-nine people have been killed and 48 wounded in shootings at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in the nation's deadliest attack. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern described it as a terrorist attack and one of New Zealand's "darkest days". A gunman identifying himself as an Australian live-streamed the rampage at Al Noor mosque to Facebook. He had espoused racist, anti-immigrant views.

Day trip to Rotterdam
A harbor scene with several boats moored along a canal. The boat in the foreground is named “GRUNO” and has a classic wooden design. The background features modern high-rise buildings, cranes, and a clear blue sky, suggesting an urban waterfront setting. A large, futuristic-looking, oval-shaped building with a reflective glass facade. The reflection shows trees, people walking, and surrounding buildings. The bright blue sky enhances the sleek and modern look of the architecture. A view from inside the Markthal in Rotterdam, looking out through the large glass facade. The ceiling is covered in colorful murals of fruits and vegetables, while outside, a distinctively shaped apartment building and a white bridge are visible. The market below is busy with various food stalls.

Where’s the rest of the gang when you need them??
A cartoon-style image featuring Scooby-Doo, a brown Great Dane wearing a blue collar with a gold tag, lying on a metallic table with a pained expression. A green-skinned alien-like creature with red glowing eyes, a ridged head, and a white and purple robotic suit looms over him, appearing to conduct an experiment or examination. The background features a dark, futuristic control room with a monitor displaying jagged lines.
