They’re calling it the worst post in the world
Sorry, sorry, I know this is wet, but, after seeing the below tweet, I couldn't get this out of my head until I made it
Rosa Luxemburg was born March 5, 1871.
“Guy Debord Vindicated Again” is not a sentence you ever want to be typing and yet I feel like I’m doing it maybe two dozen times a week at this point

wife: it’s cool how there’s men in all of our female spaces. normal world
husband: do you think the Chinese intelligence officer really likes me or am I just being parasocial
polymarket should be beyond illegal. all involved in its creation and upkeep deserve agony for the rest of their days
very cringe of trump's guys to be saying "our epic chad warfighters have been unshackled to unleash maximum death and killstreak carnage" etc but if they're asked if this is a war they're all umm, wait, no, this is not a war, pls don't put in the paper that this is a war
We're back lads, and with an absolute banger of an issue.

you are not prepared for the soundtrack
Lol destroy universities, blow up the creative sector, all for the quick backhander and the consultancy gig they'll get when they lose the next election, absolute clowns.
🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

Kemi here saying the quiet part out loud: the business of parliament is ensuring that the great looting and death machine rampages on, unimpeded by the views of silly people who don’t matter and must be ignored.
"I can't find any reason to celebrate the assassination of the Iranian supreme leader because I think it's part of a package ... It's also part of the killing of Iranian innocent people," says Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi, a longtime critic of the Iranian government.
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
This is not how you go about liberating people or building a democracy
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
hey we're doing an operation called Based Epic Chad. lol. everybody will think this is awesome. we will never end up like Mussolini

I've never found this myself but in Red Dead Redemption 2 in Saint Denis, there's a sign for a coffee shop named for Honoré de Balzac, who is speculated to have died of a caffeine overdose.
An AI could never create something that weaves together those kinds of historical/cultural references.
Anyone on the left who wasn’t actively involved from 2015-19 needs to know what’s coming.
1, they’re going to throw multiple, often contradictory lies at the wall to see what sticks. Polanski will be simultaneously weak and strong, timid and aggressive, passive and dictatorial, old fashioned and
I was at the count in Gorton and Denton last night and we all saw Matt Goodwin eat ballot papers. His girlfriend and team begged him to stop but he kept stuffing it into his mouth and making grunting sounds like the Cookie Monster
CD is 100 dollars or so short of sustainability. Incredibly valuable resource for anyone who cares about games, whether for research or just casual reading. Also like... look lmao, web's as fractured as it's ever been. Having the roundup gather a bunch of cool stuff you'd never see otherwise is good
this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.
AI is going to trash every single way that we had modernised university teaching and send us back to handwritten exams and vivas for every assessment. Which will bring back every problem with those assessment models (and make us seem even more out-of-touch even as we just try to do meaningful work).
Discernible among my friends and colleagues who remain heavy X users: affects both their sense of issue salience and the intellectual framework (i.e., usually race and migration) through which to understand them. Many think themselves exempt through critical thinking skills. You are what you eat!
This is fucking despicable. They’re copypasting their abuse of trans people onto new targets now (and many of the same targets, given how much overlap there is).
I had to fight for a shared care agreement with the ADHD meds that I fucking need to function. Taking them from anyone is beyond cruel.
PUT IT BACK. PEBBLE IS NOT FRIEND.
