Amaranth Alley Pantry has been destroyed twice in three days. One group today was a pack of white nationalists, who appear to take credit for an attack resulting in moderate property damage.

Court watchers on the ground has confirmed that 5 of their group has been denied their original spots, forcing then to line up again at the back of the line and ceding their seats to the paid "queuing gang" members.

The boat strikes continue.

We're keeping count of the rising civilian toll.

Respect to @ripperoni.com for building a new pronoun labeller real fast after the last one disappeared.

We got the Israel-funded harassment app taken down. 4 years later, ACT.IL is back with a new name: RiseApp.

It's really fun when the Antichrist tries to pin the Antichrist hat on someone who is... arguing that maybe we shouldn't be the cause of our own apocalypse. The sophistry is first class, Peter "Lucifer" Thiel

The Climate Casino composed a little limerick:

There once was a planet in strife,
Where the climate disrupted all life.
With record highs and record lows,
Droughts, heat, ice and snows,
Survival became a roll of the dice.

This Alexei Sayle quote gets to the heart of the Mandelson scandal. The people who worked so hard to destroy Corbyn are close allies of Mandelson. They had no qualms at all about him having stayed at the house of a convicted paedophile. Mandelson stood for their values. They are truly vile people...

Every single aspect of “hunting” is animal exploitation and abuse. Scum the lot of them

The Labour Home Secretary telling a series of easily-disproven lies to promote the idea that immigration remains "dangerously high".

Because of course, if it isn't, she has no reason to act like a fascist about it...

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

A Reddit user posts: Hey everyone, I just experienced a textbook example of forced ecosystem lock-in and I'm still in shock. I wanted to share and see if this community has any insight or similar stories. What happened: I had tickets sent to me for the Hawks game in Chicago (at the United Center). To receive them, I was required to create an account, which I did using my standard, non-Google email. When I arrived at the stadium, the gate staff immediately said screenshots wouldn't work. The ticket link in my email didn't even show a traditional barcode, it only presented one option: a button to 'Add to Google Wallet' that would enable NFC entry. They confirmed the only way in was to add the ticket to one of those wallets. I explained I don't use those and refused on principle. Their response was essentially, "You need to use one of those wallets," and one staffer even said I "might need to create a Gmail." I tried to stand my ground, and they turned me away. I was denied entry to an event I paid for because I wouldn't add a ticket to a specific digital wallet. In the end, I was forced to add it just to get in. Why I'm posting here: This feels like the ultimate "degoogle" nightmare scenario. It wasn't just about data privacy in theory; it was a direct, real-world consequence: Forced account creation (first layer). Forced use of a mega-corporation's ecosystem (Google/Apple) as the only access method. Complete exclusion for non-compliance.

Dystopia grows.

Americans are taught to be afraid of socialism from birth and I don't think they see themselves as citizens enough to revolt.

If I'm wrong I'll send you a brioche 😉

South Africa was banned from the Olympics from 1964 to 1988 because it was an apartheid state.

The ICJ declared Israel to be an apartheid state, so when does its ban start?

Dockworkers across 21 major european ports strike and refuse to handle anymore Israeli or Israeli bound ships👍👍🇵🇸🇵🇸

There should be travel restrictions. Letting former IDF soldiers into Europe is a national security risk and danger to public safety.

Maximizing Signal group chat safety Larger groups come with more risk to your privacy, but you can make decisions about how to navigate Signal groups safely.

More people than ever are using @signal.org to exchange information in large groups. But as groups grow, so does the risk to your messages’ privacy.

Fortunately, there’s a lot you can do to use Signal groups more safely.

Our security team shows you how.

Trying to imagine the same Olympic committee telling the US they can't use an image of George Washington. Or indeed their own designers that Garibaldi is off-limits.

Please help if you can.

In their blind support for Israel, American Christians are aiding the erasure of their fellow Christian community in Palestine.

Minns invokes special powers for NSW police to restrict protests during Israeli president’s visit Thirteen state and federal NSW MPs appeal to police to allow planned march protesting against the visit

‘Several of the MPs have indicated they will join protesters in the march. The group pushed back at the premier, accusing him of trying to paint peaceful protest as “inconvenient and illegitimate” by invoking the special powers.’

SCREENCRAFT WHAT IS "MA"? In an interview with film critic Roger Ebert from 2002, Ebert tells Miyazaki he appreciates what he calls "gratuitous motion" in his films, adding that, "Instead of every movement being dictated by the story, sometimes people will just sit for a moment, or they will sigh, or look in a running stream, or do something extra, not to advance the story but only to give the sense of time and place and who they are," said Ebert. Miyazaki answered with, "We have a word for that in Japanese," he said. "It's called Ma. Emptiness. It's there intentionally."

My piping hot take on PLURIBUS is that it’s one of the most Ghibli-esque shows on TV today, and people who think its pacing is too slow ought to really sit with and examine why they feel that slow pace = bad.

Its first season has several minutes worth of “mā”, and is much stronger for it, IMO

Fury at Green leader for gloating about Palestine protesters Mr Polanski retweeted a conspiracy theorist who claimed Yvette Cooper made up a 'lie' about the sergeant being badly hurt by an activist to justify proscribing PA as a terrorist group.

The Mail claiming that Polanski “gloated” about the Filton24 verdicts…

How could he “gloat” about something that is neither his own success nor someone else’s misfortune?

Polanski is, as we are, glad to see conscience prevail in the face of genocide.
