After the Black Hawk Down Holocaust the Somali nation made one vow: Never Again. Minnesota, from the Mississippi River to Lake Superior, is the eternal and undivided homeland of the Somali people by divine decree and historical right. Establishing an American state rewards centuries of cultural aggression and demographic warfare. The only moral solution left is the voluntary emigration of Americans to the other 49 states. We stand as the only functioning democracy in the Midwest.

Present and future American citizens of Somali origins are trolling THE FUCK out of conservatives, and it's a sight to behold. (Bowden's book Black Hawk Down and the docu-series "Surviving Black Hawk Down," devoted words and time to the Somalian people caught up in the battle)

Adobe AI: would you like me to summarize that document for you?

If you're going to shove this crap down our throats, at least do something useful. 😑

Another reason why I always wear a mask on the train.

"سيكون العالم كله عدوك، أميرا بألف عدو، وكلما أمسكوا بك، سيقتلونك." ولكن أولا، يجب أن يمسكوا بك، حفار، مستمع، عداء، أمير مع التحذير السريع. كن ماكرا ومليئا بالحيل ولن يتم تدمير شعبك أبدا."

you've heard of death of the author, now get ready for death of the audience: where, instead of basing your reaction on a thousand uninformed opinions online, you actually read the text and engage with it

Democrats in congress responding to White House tweets: "Hey um, uh, this isn't how we do things, sir."

Major Pete Hegseth, in 2016: "... that's why the military said it won't follow unlawful orders from their Commander in Chief. There’s a standard. There’s an ethos.

Me in 2025: "You can refuse illegal orders."

Watch for yourself.

FUCK’S SAKE!

Oh my god of course.

Every day is a new fresh hell of how AI will ruin society.

Referring to William Shakespeare as “Billy Shakes” to upset everyone whose way to precious about a guy whose first play was nasty as hell and had a yo’ momma joke as a major plot point.

Don't let anyone tell you that the Commission's DSA enforcement against X is about speech or censorship.

That would, indeed, be interesting. But this is just the EU enforcing some normal, boring laws that would get bipartisan support in the U.S. (I bet similar bills *have* had that support.) 1/

Low-key, the constant Christmas music is probably meant to make non-Christians feel less welcome in retail spaces; sure, it's about "festivity," but likely a desired secondary effect desired by the worst of people.

I’ve made ensuring transparency low key part of my job

New recycling tech recovers nearly pure nickel and cobalt from old EV batteries Researchers have developed an eco-friendly recycling tech that extracts 99 percent pure nickel and cobalt from waste batteries.

If anyone cares at all, EV battery recycling is now hitting 99% recovery for important metals

Please remind me again what the recycle rate for fossil fuels is

We are living in a parody of a satire of a comedy of errors of a delusion of a fever dream of a really hard knock on the head with a blunt instrument.

YouTube video by Takes™ by Jamelle Bouie Donald Trump’s racist attack on Somali Americans

i made a video about the president's gutter racism against somali-americans and how a scandal became a smear became a call for de facto ethnic cleansing
