humiliating honestly

nom nom nom military propaganda with a side of charlie puth

Was QAnon right about the pedophilic elite??

(um no we actually already knew that the ultra rich are addicted to power and abuse. that’s common sense i fear.)

Here's who the Washington Post just laid off.

NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Early DHS spin (via Fox News) is that the person shot repeatedly by Border Patrol officers in Minneapolis was armed -- note that open carrying firearms is legal with a permit and notably, they are not (yet at least) claiming that the person fired or even brandished a gun, just had one.

NYT opinion section defends enslaving AI should it become conscious.

Maybe one day we can talk about real problems too!!! 🤞🏻

say thatttt

Opinion | A.I. Is on Its Way to Something Even More Remarkable Than Intelligence

I don't really believe that AI will become conscious anytime soon but I do believe that humans constantly find new ways to exert their dominance over literally everything.

It's from this op-ed btw: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/o...

It's already so weird that the people obsessed with creating all-purpose AI to be their personal slave are also obsessed with said personal slave being conscious of its enslavement.

But explicitly arguing that it'll be conscious but that shouldn't affect how you treat it is actually evil.

i was curious what the search result would be and.... woof

Is Taylor Swift selling Nazi merch? No. Is the rise of fascism making us more susceptible to rage bait? Definitely.

i’m with you. also the way big tech and the media are talking about AI as one thing makes it nearly impossible for people to tell the difference between real, specific AI tools and slop machines

YouTube video by Media Matters How billionaires created the DEI panic

since political correctness is all topical again, here’s a video I made deep diving into how conservatives manufactured the PC panic:
youtu.be/nD1nJ7g8j94?...

"Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians not directly taking part in hostilities, even if they are believed to be smuggling drugs."

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

WHAT. ARE. WE. DOING.

Update: the Guardian has added two paragraphs addressing animal agriculture's role in driving soy production.

I can't find a note regarding the edit on the article. I like the guardian (and am a subscriber) but that was an interesting choice.

The original archived version: archive.ph/kR7GV

I am not in fact crazy. They original did not have that paragraph!!

archive.ph/kR7GV

but if the conversation has become "well if they werent plowing that land for soy, they'd be doing it for something else" then you're in a mental justification space that is fully shut down and i can't have an honest conversation with you about it.

but the story is specifically about the economic drive for soy which is driven by the incentive to produce animal feed.

listen, i can recognize cognitive dissonance when i see it. i get that you're a small animal agriculture business so you feel attacked. but im concerned with big ag. not you.

Ah ya that's a common myth/justification for the system but the value of the oil vs the meal flip back and forth. Plenty of the time, the meal is actually valued significantly higher than the oil.

The idea that the meal is just some "waste" product is a myth

southernagtoday.org/2021/10/25/w...

would you say that it is correct to say that "70-80% of the global soybean supply becomes animal feed" ?

so then we entirely agree on the numbers??

you're just arguing that the primary driver is to create soybean oil? and not animal feed?

are you okay friend? i've given you like 4 or 5 different sources at this point (and you've provided zero) so it seems like you're experiencing some pretty severe cognitive dissonance

here's the source chainreactionresearch.com/report/feed-...

ya 98% of all soybean meal is animal feed. that doesn't change the fact that 70-80% of global soy production is for animal feed.

here's a visual of brazil's domestic soy production. you can see that the largest flow BY FAR is the soybean to crushing to soymeal to animal feed to human consumption.

wait they fully just added that it. i did searches for the words "meat" and "animal" and got nothing. and then i refreshed the page and the paragraph is there. i feel like im going crazy

biodiesel is about 4% and vegetable oil is about roughly 13%

hope this helps! but ya- i know the numbers are shocking
