It's weird how when people talk about crime being out of control they never talk about wage theft, which accounts for more than three times the amount lost in all other kinds of theft combined, robbery, burglary, auto theft, shoplifting....all of it. Combined.

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?
We got like way more people than that don't we?

ok then. one angle of attack then needs to be actively bombarding Visa and Mastercard's phone numbers and emails.
are customer support phone numbers/emails the best avenue to start with or is there a better option?

So, the u.s. border patrol trespassed into Canadian territory and kidnapped a Canadian citizen. That’s a hostile act by a foreign country. PM Carney should demand that the u.s. patrol officers be extradited to Canada to face charges.

A Quebec fisherman who was fishing 15 kilometers north of the US border was essentially kidnapped by US Border Patrol, who capsized his boat and dragged him to an American prison cell.
In any normal time this'd be quite the international incident, y'know?

Some people simply don't seem to grasp that watching/reading/listening is the entire point. They don't understand why you'd watch a full episode of a murder mystery if you can just skip to the end.

We watched people standing in line for 8-10 hours to vote in Georgia, so they made it illegal to give them water. They called in bomb threats to majority Black polling places. They did everything they could to suppress the vote.
And then folks are out here like, "well Georgia voted for this lol"

I really hate this take. You have no idea why people didn't vote. We live in a country with systemic voter suppression. Election Day isn't a national holiday in the US and there's a host of mechanisms set up to encourage people in many states not to vote.
68% of eligible voters did not vote *against* Trump. They just couldn't be arsed to vote against fascism in a binary election where fascism was one of the options, and the other was not fascism. Which means they're OK with fascism - at best. Most of them voted for him and love fascism.

And nothing makes them more furious than having that reality pointed out.

There's a really good @juliusgoat.bsky.social piece about this - that what supremacists crave most is not being perceived as the kind of person who does the thing that they do.
The parallels with prompt goblins should be apparent. The thing they want most is to be seen as producers, not consumers.

While there is a lot to say about this image, the thing that stands out to me the most - what IMO makes genAI a specifically right wing phenomenon - is the craving for approval. It is not enough to be able to generate robot lingerie warrior lady. They NEED to also be praised for doing it.
