ICE continues to assault us.

We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

This is what it looks like when ICE violates our First Amendment rights.

Of course, besides not knowing how threads work, I'm also ignoring a demagogic government's role in fascism. The cattle trains and packed 737 airplanes, the shock troops, the camps, all paid for and built by the government. With popular support.

Be antifa, everybody

Even if you start with flat-frictionless-ideal-physics land, unchecked capitalism leads to fascism. As soon as differences arise, they get amplified, until one family owns everything, and the rest of the population is split exactly 50/50 in a civil war that somehow makes the wealthy more so

5/END

7) the unmonied masses see the teevee and realize wait no! it's the sketchy weirdo Random Disempowered Out Group who are the enemy!!!! They start wheeling their guillotines over to the Home Depot and start, well... genocide

4/x

6) the wealthy notice the lazy malcontent poors assembling IKEA guillotines just outside their gated communities. They panic some, and throw together a PR campaign pointing out how it's actually this Random Disempowered Group who are the villains! The Jews, "illegals", whatever, all lies

3/x

3) lucky, talented, or unscrupulous people win, inherit, earn, or steal wealth. Lots
4) turns out wealth is a FANTASTIC way to get more wealth. The wealthy vacuum money up like, industrial vacuum style so much money
5) the unmonied masses notice and get kinda mad. Where's my wealth?

2/x

I'm gonna do a thread :thread emoji: about how capitalism gives birth to fascism.

1) somebody sets up a capitalist society where "everyone" has equal opportunity. A meritocracy!!!
2) since everyone has equal opportunity, wealth and merit seem inextricably linked

I don't know what the deal with the president is, but I hope he's receiving the best medical treatments RFKjr can think of.

HUGE fan of Banks, and embarrassed to admit I just discovered Adrian Tchaikovsky - only halfway through my 2nd book of his, (Alien Clay, 1st was Service Model) and loving it!

Cult leaders engage in sexual abuse - it's almost definitional. Cult members tolerate the abuse. Cult leaders do not panic and hide from their own cult. Might be toast????

I think it's because for once in his life, trump is trying to hide his misbehavior. The emperor has realized everybody can see his misshapen little toadstool and instead of spread-eagle-waggling to the crowd (which they would cheer) he's running away covering himself.

Baffling graphic design choice. I presume you've done the art for your various podcasts??? If so, GREAT job, and this must hurt you to encounter 😂 plus, when your brand is just one character away from hilter clarity is um mandatory?

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore.

Make it make sense.

Right!? All these shows where doubles exist and yet *aliens* or *Japan won WW2* is so silly. Understandable from a storytelling point of view but ludicrous

Spent too much time on this

It's enough to drive one into the grimy arms of the pirate bay

It was my birthday yesterday so obviously my fam spent an hour making these pictures

My whole dream for my module business was to make stuff as cheaply as possible, to each according to their need and whatnot

Black Eurorack synthesizer module with white text and indicators.. Many LED lights in red. It's ann8 channel audio mixer

Here's my flagship design, an 8 channel Eurorack mixer wifh an optical VCA per channel for sidechain
The T admin's new policies have demolished my profits, to the point where I'm going to have to raise prices or quit. My last package of parts had a total of 78% of duty/tariff/brokerage
Fuck Trmp

I love that the other most-meta and very dark bit of art is Don Hertzfeldt's Rejected animated short. Also, huge congrats!!;

According to its creator, the G in gaslighting actually makes a J sound. It's pronounced "jaslighting"

What if they reach across the aisle harder

Hmm, somebody wanna explain to me why living in a "bubble" that doesn't include fascists is... bad?

More than most?... how...... Reminds me of the radio saying a stock went down less than a fraction so..... like zero?

Black Chevy HHR car stuck in a snowy ditch, surrounded by reeds

HUGE thanks to the guy who stopped his truck on the freeway shoulder to help us pull my kid's car out of the ditch. He looked non-white-hispanic, no English, and stopped to help two white dudes. In Trumpmerica.

Bravest, awesomest, most courageous best guy in the world, muchas gracias mi hermano

My PCB order, including $75 in shipping was $456
Trump tariff bill $267

Made myself laugh out loud by reading the word gazebo as "GAYs-bo"

Hand drawn schematic for a chaotic control-voltage oscillator

Chaotic LFO! I built this point-to-point,but forgot to take pictures of it. I made a video ... www.tiktok.com/t/ZT26SCb47/
