I know we've done this before, but I read USian as United States American, and I don't know why people get so upset about it; it's just being specific. I mean Bad Bunny just did a whole big thing about all of the people who are Americans.

If you don't like it, you don't have to use it.

Iran is still paying for their 1950s sin of asking British Petroleum to pay fair market value for their oil.

Brits call the US…

CIA’s Operation Ajax overthrows the democratically elected parliament in Tehran and installs the Shah, one of the more brutal 20th century dictators.

75 years of this.

And so every day this same worker is able to personally see that the bourgeois newspapers tell even the simplest of facts in a way that favors the bourgeois class and damns the working class and its politics. Has a strike broken out? The workers are always wrong as far as the bourgeois newspapers are concerned. Is there a demonstration? The demonstrators are always wrong, solely because they are workers they are always hotheads, rioters, hoodlums. The government passes a law? It’s always good, useful and just, even if it’s...not. And if there’s an electoral, political or administrative struggle? The best programs and candidates are always those of the bourgeois parties.

Above all, the worker must resolutely reject any solidarity with a bourgeois newspaper. And he must always, always, always remember that the bourgeois newspaper (whatever its hue) is an instrument of struggle motivated by ideas and interests that are contrary to his. Everything that is published is influenced by one idea: that of serving the dominant class, and which is ineluctably translated into a fact: that of combating the laboring class. And in fact, from the first to the last line the bourgeois newspaper smells of and reveals this preoccupation. But the beautiful – that is the ugly – thing is this: that instead of asking for money from the bourgeois class to support it in its pitiless work in its favor, the bourgeois newspapers manage to be paid by...the same laboring classes that they always combat. And the laboring class pays; punctually, generously.

woke up with some of the worst stomachache and decided to start reading gramsci to distract myself and what do you fucking know

Moe: "Oh, dear god, no!"

Jill’s mindset about media is how you end up with Trump as president, btw.

The NYT style guide

This is a widely accepted norm journalists are taught to convince themselves they believe in, but it's not at all obvious why a publication should have to publish an op-ed merely because it represents the president's point of view. That's a media market and branding decision major papers have made.

lmao not me looking down at the words 'Epic Fury' and realizing that this was almost certainly named 'Ep F' as the first characters of each word for algorithm 'autocorrect' searchscope vs Epstien Files...

leading with “this person” when referring to a trans woman unfortunately demonstrates you have a severe media literacy problem.

it’s also not remotely professional to disparage the intelligence of a publication’s readership because they disagree with an editorial board’s rightwing ideological bias.

"How newspapers work" is not a law of nature you are bound to but a choice people are making with consequences and therefore moral culpability.

People should be criticized for spreading misinformation and war propaganda even if that's business as usual. Sorry for your ethical literacy problems.

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

The Alt Park Service account is one of the longest running grift accounts I’m aware of. Never credit photographers, not really “alt” park service employees, selling shirts, now giving out terrible unsolicited advice about LLMs. I can’t believe people still follow them.

the kind of wisdom one would hope to find in anxient tomes 🩸

A snap from the pretty damn cool Shock Troopers for Neo Geo arcade of a cool gal with long, straight parted blonde hair, mirror shades and a blue jumpsuit pointing a gun at the player

Too cool, shades lifted now and winking, blowing smoke from her pistol

I know a lot of people who have been through some form of this and it is cruelty for cruelty’s sake, pure torture without even the fig leaf of lies about intel gathering

It's so incredibly rare to see good 'straight comedy' anymore lol

Excellent work from Taylor Tomlinson on her new special 'Prodigal Daughter'

How is ANYONE still treating Trump like he’s a normal person much less politician. Why did he do it? He’s a demented monster. This is settled law

Sometimes I think ppl forget that sex workers put a LOT into their content. This photo shoot was around $400 for the outfit alone, leaving out the value of my time & effort. Every SW I know has had a terrible month $$ wise, please support us if you can! Thank you all and I love you!! 💗💗💗

pixel art in four panels depicting how to draw a sphere. Step 1 reads "draw a circle" and has a basic line circle. Step 2 reads "add basic shading" and has four shades of flat color including a couple teal highlights toward the upper left and darker blue-green shadow colors. Step 3 reads "add highlights and shadows. Blend colors" and the teal-blue sphere introduces two more highlight colors and two more shadow colors, which are now blended with excessive dithering. There is also slight reflected light on the lower right edge. Step 4 reads "make sphere angery" and the sphere now has a cartoonish frowning angry face in the highlight area. On the lower right of the image is a bar showing the eight colors in the palette.

that's not a bird that's princess peach in Mario 2 (North American release) you can't fool me

So cool that the senile pedophile president whose only policy is to brutalize and immiserate the us populace a year into his presidency is overseeing the final push of Americas murder suicide pact with Israel and his notional opposition is like “I agree with all of this but have procedural problems”

poster whose brother changes the oil in the orphan crushing machine: whoa there, don't be so quick to judge. he has bills to pay

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

They've monetized and incentivized committing crimes against humanity.

It's a scandal on par with Pete Rose betting on baseball, if Pete Rose were undersecretary of defense, and baseball was murdering civilians with bombs.

A collage of shots of my TV playing a Blockbuster commercial from 1997 where Richard Lewis is wandering around a Blockbuster store rambling about his movie watching habits and how annoying renting movies is and other anxieties related to movies and movie watching and expressing yourself creatively as an aging boomer at the "end of history" in a post-capitalist consensus and other cute things people worried about in the late 1990s.
