probably good that we structured the health and well-being of humanity around profitability. oops!

When you give money for official Harry Potter merch/ watch the shows/movies on official channels, engage with anything officially monetized, you are directly funding this

JK Rowling personally funds the efforts that lead to the bans that have increased suicide and suffering.

Knowing something

A graphic with two vertical halves. The left half, with green background and check marks, says: "A safer internet IS MADE BY Encryption, Privacy, and Open Source"; the right half, with red background and crosses, says "A safer internet is NOT MADE BY Age verification, Scanning communication, or Tracking & data collection." #saferinternetday

The generative video part of this bubble is the thing that’s really driving me up the wall because when you account for total costs it’s just cheaper to make a real movie.

they pissed off the WeRateDogs guy enough from him to break character to directly tell them off, that's genuinely impressive levels of being an asshole

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.

Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Soyjack cows pointing at Veronika the cow scratching herself with a broom. Bad line drawing of two anthropomorphic cows, as if hastily traced in a paint app. Both cows are close to the camera looking directly to the viewer and making excited "OOHH" face as one of them points backwards away from the camera towards two photographs of a brown cow using a broom held in her mouth to scratch her hip and undercarriage.

This Tool Searches the Epstein Files For Your LinkedIn Contacts EpsteIN—as in, Epstein and LinkedIn—searches your connections on the social network for names that match those in the released files.

NEW: A new tool searches your LinkedIn connections for people who are mentioned in the Epstein files.

404 Media tested the tool, called EpsteIn—as in, a mash up of Epstein and LinkedIn—and it appears to work.

To add to this because I saw at least one comment:

"But if he's the nominee we vote for him anyway right?"

I'm not saying I won't vote for him because I'm lying to you. I am telling you the truth about that.

I am telling you this so that you have enough time to PICK A DIFFERENT NOMINEE.

holy shit, you mean to tell me that people were committing crimes with the thing whose single use case is crime

the confirmation of contemporary transphobia as a political movement has been the brainchild of a boys club made up of some of the most disgusting monsters in recent memory to explicitly keep trans women disenfranchised so as to subjugate and exploit us for their own sexual gain is like

a lot, dawg

DOJ Released Unredacted Nude Images in Epstein Files A note from investigators in the files said some images Epstein had were "POSSIBLE CSAM."

“Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected. That is outrageous,” a group of 18 survivors of Epstein’s abuse said in a joint statement reacting to the release of data exposing their identities.

oh my god

pizzagate and qanon were not onto something, they were orchestrated by pedophiles to make accusing people of pedophilia make you look insane so that they could continue doing pedophile shit. fucking christ

jeffery epstein is directly responsible for the creation of 4chans famous pol board and the downstream culture of it that led to donald trump claiming the culture

ohhhhhh okay so what we've learned from the epstein mail drop is that the entirety of the fascistic culture war since the 2010s onward was basically wholesale consolidated through the anglosphere bourgeois old boys club network of pedophile rapists Possum A-ko @kaiserbeamz.b... • 5h So apparently I was right to shittalk mOOt this week because it's been revealed that his boneheaded decision to establish /pol/ and subsequently ruin the website was allegedly born out of a one-on-one meeting with Jeffery Epstein.

Ain’t I been telling you the reactionary backlash was driven by the very rich and powerful watching regular people use social media to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sex crimes, then watching him dragged sobbing to jail, unprotected by his enormous wealth? What do you think the cancel culture panic was.

I love that people are talking about how good this game is and how amazing this little guy is.

Have been playing a lot of Rem after Deadlock's Old Gods, New Blood update and had to write a post about how much I love my special little guy. aftermath.site/deadlocks-sl...

Rem I made on stream #fanart

Rem from Deadlock. A little gremlin, charcoally and dark of body, bright of eye. Wearing pink pajamas and holding a big purple pillow, as a blue candle lights their way. Staring, dazed. Walking, eppy. Sleeping. Sitting and staring.

REM

The image is a four-panel comic: 1. Top Left Panel: A bird perched on a branch, beak open, saying, "Your Government is lying to you!" 2. Top Right Panel: Another bird on a branch saying, "You are little more than slaves!" 3. Bottom Left Panel: A third bird, perhaps looking more intense or agitated, shouting, "Wake up! You idiotic human bastards!" 4. Bottom Right Panel: A human stands by a window, seemingly oblivious to the actual message. They are smiling, holding a cup, with musical notes indicating singing. Beneath the notes, the person thinks, "Beautiful." The comic humorously suggests that birds are trying to communicate important messages to humans, but the humans are misinterpreting it as pleasant singing.

"All Hell Breaks Loose": How Big Oil Ruined a Small Texas Town Three export terminals that captured half of the U.S. crude oil export industry have formed around Ingleside on the Bay, turning the Texas Coastal Bend town into an unlikely fenceline community.

Ingleside on the Bay is over 80% white, has the second-highest home prices in the region, and voted for Trump by 50 points three times.

Half of all U.S. crude oil exports pass right next to the town, though. It's seen two oil spills and a 17-fold increase in toxic chemical risk in just five years.

they’re both right

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

Let's also bring in the connection with tech giants: Google hosted a CBP app that used facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group.

this is shit they never want you to see.

you, too, can have the discord emoji

Look I just think at this point we should all become more comfortable with the idea that it is morally correct to [[Redacted]] your local [[Redacted]].
