I think the one thing that's changed about me the most after transitioning is exactly how much I absolutely fucking despise doctors and the medical establishment

Covid is not over.

People are still dying and becoming disabled every day.

We rushed “back to normal” for the economy, not because the threat had passed.

When you wear a mask, you’re not only protecting your health, you’re saying you don’t believe anyone is expendable.

no, i am not secretly petty. i am very openly petty.

We are not going to convert them, if at all it will be much further in the process of abolition, but we can and must celebrate and increase their demoralization. Not rehabilitation or a change of heart, instead act with the confidence they are too upset and disoriented to fight for their man

a member of bluesky saying "Yeh" in response to the above post, with a journalist responding asking to get their exact quote over the thread in which the bluesky member responds with "what" and the journalist then rephrasing the question only for the bluesky member to delete the entire thread

I do find it hilarious how they immediately backtracked after this and deleted the comment

I am Jewish. Israel is a country where sexual assault and child murder are core tenets of the culture. This country should not exist. They act with such extremity because they know when you tell people what they actually do, it's so bad it registers as unbelievable.

guy who's only seen 'boss baby' meeting a real baby: there's a few things here I wasn't expecting

"you are taking in the human centipede of content from the very end of the line" is such a good way of describing AI

There is no second marshmallow.

Greta Thunberg in Greece:

I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.

a bumper sticker which reads "Proud Parent of the Omelas Child"

Lowtax didn't need a Death of Superman storyline

You have to remember the cosmic injustice that is Serge completely avoiding encountering the Reaper Leviathan up close at any point.

Or, to put it another way, as long as white Americans take refuge in their whiteness— for so long as they are unable to walk out of this most monstrous of traps-they will allow millions of people to be slaughtered in their name, and will be manipulated into and surrender themselves to what they will think of-and justify—as a racial war. They will never, so long as their whiteness puts so sinister a distance between themselves and their own experience and the experience of others, feel themselves sufficiently human, sufficiently worthwhile, to become responsible for themselves, their leaders, their country, their children, or their fate. They will perish (as we once put it in our black church) in their sins—that is, in their delusions. And this is happening, needless to say, already, all around us.

James Baldwin to Angela Davis in 1970, discussing white Americans:

The point of this isn't about which side of the discourse is correct we all know that the point is that even having the discourse at all is letting the fascists set the discursive terrain. Don't fucking let them. Drive the discourse to what matters

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

This slurs for AI discourse is completely synthetic it's being pushed by tech fascists to influence leftist discourse they are dragging people from their homes in the dead of night that's what's really going on here that's the real fucking threat, focus on THAT

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

exposed to it as people who like live in the real world that and aren't completely enfolded into the tech fascist reality tunnel we're like what the Fuck is happening lol

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

This weird faux leftist pro-AI shit is designed to work in spaces and areas where the tech fascists already completely control the discourse like the Bay, it's for people who are way further down the tech fascist radicalization path than we are so when we get

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

the problem with mechsploitation is that if you turn a girl into a dog that's also an ace pilot you've just succeeded in creating Snoopy

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

and scene

You cant take anyone seriously who think the rise of far-right fascism is due to something the left did "wrong" i.e. allegedly being too insensitive or unaccomodating of people with shitty, evil opinions or going too far to accommodate people who assholes dont think should be part of our society.

But really do not let this moment pass you up, call your reps and beat them over the head with evidence that ID verification will lead to uncontrollable sensitive information leaks and identity theft

and hey on the topic of ID laws

do you really trust Bluesky, whose admin and c-suites physically cannot stop themselves from posting-through-it, to be able to hold onto your fucking govt ID and not leak it in a data breach like Discord?

these policies suck, they are dangerous, call your reps

I think a lot about the ideological motivation of the STEM push and the class of tech infrastructure architects who lack broader education but who got told they’re the smartest people around.

Distracted by devious brilliance? Congratulations

Jay Bluesky posting DEC/ACC, which is ostensibly short for Decentralization Acceleration, but also identical to the */acc abbreviation Accelerationist ideologues use to identify their strain of accelerationist thought.

I know not a lot of people are going to get this if they're not as Terminally Online as I am, but the fact that Jay Bluesky is now posting Accelerationist dogwhistles on main is the scariest thing to me and an omen of true misfortune for this site. This is the absolute worst thing to see.
