Intensive Porpoises

the thing about asking for a worker owned anything on the web is that the pitch has to account for the fact that the website is going to - innately - be slower to add features, slower to respond to issues, have financial struggles, etc

“.. please, if you’ve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even ..”

Republicans from decades past said it to imply the dems were anti-democracy, and contemporary hitlers just inherited the behavior without really thinking about it.

The reason I bring up sovereign and qualified immunity so often is (1) the system was designed to protect itself and wrongdoing by the government long before Trump, and deemed Trump less of a risk than a government actually answerable to those it harmed;

French pigs engulfed in flame, with the caption "fire doesnt care what level the plates are."

Big gap between “you need to be exposed to views you disagree with” and “the loathsome liberals in my audience need a steady stream of bad faith reactionary slop”

maybe it’s time to bring webrings back

CEO: we're all trying to improve this place

You: so you're gonna kick out the guy who keeps trying to kill me, right

CEO:

You: You're gonna kick out the guy who has literally helped kiwifarms target me personally, right

CEO: WAFFLES

the bors "I think we should improve society somewhat" cartoon except society is replaced with "bsky" and "and yet you participate in it!" is replaced with "WAFFLES"

stop sending me emails. enough emails have been sent forever

In @chron.com - This viral Houston Halloween display got online conservatives crazy angry. I went and spoke to the guy who put it up. A Mexican Houston native, he said he did it to protest Trump's immigration raids: "I believe in my freedom of speech."

other countries are morally worse than the US because they refuse to bomb us into oblivion. they condone what’s going on right now and are responsible for the consequences

American Protestantism is a dead-eyed, grinning husk with nothing animating it but hysterical fear of death and a sadistic desire to inflict punishment.

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

Because brutality is inherent to policing as an institution, and this brutality is disproportionately focused towards those on the lower rungs of society, primarily minorities.

The only way to ‘disarm hate’ is to abolish policing as an institution.

"we don't have the votes to pack the court" becomes "we shouldn't even talk about it until we do". it's all fear reflex rationalizations because under this the only appropriate time to talk about something you want to fight for are when conditions are such that you have already won the fight

4 panel comic Panel 1: ICE “Agent” (thug) punches protester hard in the face. Agent: STOP Panel 2: ICE Agent viciously snaps protester’s arm Agent: BEING Panel 3: ICE Agent strangles protester Agent: POLITICALLY Panel 4: ICE Agent stamps on protester’s head Agent: VIOLENT

This passage should be about the Right, and if it were, I would agree.

look, we just want to return to the conditions that have led to ruin. is that too much to ask?

Please stop showing me anything about Ezra Klein. Irrevocably opting out of “Ezra Klein”

Feds Tear Gas, Shoot Rubber Bullets At Protesters Outside Broadview ICE Facility Again Demonstrators have been regularly organizing outside the facility as part of local resistance to operations Midway Blitz and At Large, which are targeting undocumented people in and around Chicago.

"Federal agents shot rubber bullets at and tear gassed demonstrators."

"[A]n agent hit that protester and [called] him slurs."

"Demonstrators marched in a circle [..], chanting, 'How do you spell racist? I-C-E!'"

Reason #1 that i don't think we can vote our way out of this:

The gestapo has enjoyed overwhelming bipartisan support since its creation in 2001, which had overwhelming bipartisan support

Every single agent and political supporter of ICE deserves to spend the rest of their lives in a windowless subterranean re-education center beneath a landfill. And Democrats need to start running on that message starting yesterday.

Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence NATIONAL SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM/NSPM-7 MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE                THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

She may be able to, but best case scenario is a judge awards her a bunch of taxpayer money while that guy goes on an extended paid vacation. The laws are designed to protect cops from being held responsible for their actions.

You mean it would cost the taxpayers a lot of money, lol.

They are American law enforcement officers.

Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its technology in mass surveillance of Palestinians Exclusive: Tech firm ends military unit’s access to AI and data services after Guardian reveals secret spy project

Microsoft will no longer allow Israel to use its cloud services to enable its mass surveillance of occupied Palestinians – "the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza"

IMO yeah, it's perfectly fine for that. Maybe not ideal, but fine. It can put out ideas that are "adequate", and you don't feel any attachment to it, so you wont feel bad about telling it that It's ideas are bad if they're bad.
