They killed so many Palestinians and their economy is still shit. Hope all of us are cursed and haunted with 100 years of recession. Karma is the only solace these days.

Just a polite reminder that we owe the concept of zombies to voodoun/Haitian cultures as an externalization of the fear of being compelled to labor beyond what was supposed to be the Absolute Freedom of death.

A Texas Judge Is Suing For the Right to Ignore the Supreme Court’s Same-Sex Marriage Ruling The Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges that marriage is a fundamental right. Only Brian Umphress dares to ask the question: What if that doesn’t apply in Texas?

No really, Republicans are serious about undoing marriage equality:

A Texas judge is currently suing for a legal right to only officiate weddings for different-sex couples

This would empower state actors to selectively withdraw LGBTQ people's fundamental rights

the last 25 years or so have been a fascinating, horrifying process of powerful people pretty successfully figuring out how to get rid of investigative journalism

Trump Went to War With the Ivies. Community Colleges Are Being Hit.

the trump administration is selling its war on higher education as a strike against the elites who have disadvantaged ordinary americans. in actuality, the administration is destroying advanced education for *everyone* in pursuit of its effort to deskill the american public

It's important to note here that we're not just talking about faculty & university staff. 100s of U.S. colleges are in towns or small cities where they form the major industry & lifeblood of the community. Loss of students -> loss of rent $, restaurant $, bars, bookstores, gaming stores...

Feel like its a bad sign about the health of the republic that Pritzker has to talk about TX Dems like they’re the Polish government-in-exile in London

no, the pierogi is delicious, the old man is the lump of foul lard

I’ve written about eugenics too and it wouldn’t kill white people to think about how brazen that shit sounds to people of color

Maybe if you’re white, re-read The Bluest Eye before posting about this

lmao. lol.

I'm not saying it would change much but I do kind of wish reporters with access would repeatedly, like every day, ask Republicans in Congress why they have decided that blatant corruption of the sort that has been consensus illegal for centuries is now basically entirely legal for this one guy.

That’s b/c “not political” for white men means “I’m a republican, but I don’t like to argue about it”

Please read my essay—if you’re able. Thank you and ❤️ to all the survivors who’ve messaged that they are sharing my piece without reading or finishing. I understand. Much love to and peace to you. It’s a hard weekend in ways others can’t fully understand.🌹

Care for yourselves. You deserve it. 🥂

dude's a troll; good call on the block

Transphobia is infuriating AND self-defeating. If you're AFAB, you're going to go through menopause...HRT has been a lifesaver for me. It may even stave off dementia!

If HRT is banned for trans folks, think it'll be easy for us cis folk to access it?

A little solidarity just might save YOUR life.

The efforts to save PBS & NPR are lovely and I fully support them. I hope they succeed. However, I’m also very angry that we all *already* support them, with our tax dollars, and now people have to give extra because that asshat decided to steal the money and destroy what we’re already paying for.

In California's Central Valley it was industrial colonial plantation mono agriculture that has watermined our largest aquifer to the point of critical overdraft. They took a region that had 8 lakes, 5 rivers, & artisanal wells bursting from the ground to manmade drought in a little over a century.

And I, you, and he; and we, ye, and they, are all bats; and I’m a crow

also perpetual shout-out to Ladybug Picnic

my earliest recorded vocal performance is "C is for Cookie" 😂

but careful #KeepingIt101 listeners would have spotted clips from Mr Rogers, Reading Rainbow, and the Electric Company

But someone like Zohran, and certainly Zohran’s dad? Would have grown up being told “if you’re Shia that means you’re basically Jewish” and probably being pretty proud of that.

Well, no, the root is Operation Ajax OVERTHROWING IRAN’S DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED SECULAR LEADER BECAUSE HE WOULDN’T GIVE THE US AND UK CONTROL OVER IRANIAN OIL FIELDS and installing the Shah (who loved Israel and hated Jews, an unfortunately classic combination) which led to the Iranian Revolution

This got to a point where some Sunnis (not most Sunnis, mind you, just a small number of really loud ones) argued that Shia Muslims don’t count as Muslims; we’re just an offshoot of Judaism.

To which I say, “we absolutely are an offshoot of Judaism! And also, AS OPPOSED TO WHOMST.”

Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch
