KGC-BS "Bad Survivor"

an illustration. A number of rats sit with each other. One lights a match off a circle a matchbook, while one holds a cocktail made from a beaker. Another throws a lit beaker cocktail and one holds a flower with a black flag on it. They are held by a circle.

Break Free

as both a linguist (in theory anyway) and an anarchist i must say, chomsky gets a lot of shit but it's not nearly enough. chomsky deserves way more shit than he gets, up those numbers folks

See this shit, why is this genocide-lover on my feed, fuck

Maybe calling her a genocide-lover on main will get a block.

Orrr maybe it'll just get a bunch of feckless liberals who hate Palestinians being antisemitic at me again like last time I made the mistake of making an account on xitter 2 lol

I don't think that soldiers are necessarily beyond forgiveness but I do think that to be forgiven you need to take responsibility for what you did

fascists like trump are evil, they're not fucking disabled.

somebody who's good at bluesky tell me what to do about this, I don't feel like yelling at and blocking all of these fuckheads individually, how do I game this algorithm? or should I just fuck off from this site like I did twitter?

why has my feed got so many useless liberals making the same ableist "jokes" making fun of disabled people while pretending Trump's abject and intentional evil and cruelty are because ha ha dementia funny as if the loss of memory of who you or your loved ones are isn't horror movie shit?

there is no pit of hell deep enough

dang it's real weird how many economic indicators we have that are the highest since the late 1920s or mid 1930s, wonder what that's about

Banned from the "general discussion" channel in the discord server for trying to debate who would win in a battle, Julius Caesar or Napoleon.

False advertising, I say.

"Sorry I'm cool and smart and hostile to the people that need hostility" they said, unironically for some reason

xenogender women 🖤

every single time you see someone doing apologia for why "the common man" is elevated by using genAI and thus "the left" should embrace it, you scroll down and inevitably it turns out they are justifying *their own* use of the fascist csam machine

Don't DIY hormones. Simply do it through the Proper Channels and wait ten years for a doctor to ask you a series of confusing and invasive questions and hope that you fit the Platonic Ideal of Mad Tranny enough that you get prescribed the lowest possible dose of hormones. Easy.

no fuckin way 💀💀

wouldn't be surprising if it it was a "bad science reporting strikes again" thing, but my lord that would be a pretty legendarily gnarly example if that's what happened.

imagine taking people's experiences less seriously because their skull goop isn't sufficienctly yassified

like sorry sweaty, in this house we believe people with zero neuron mascara are just as valid as people with a full brain beat

so true, but like, unironically

so like what does it even mean for a brain to be "finished developing"?

I'm gonna be honest, I don't understand the 25 year old brain thing in the first place, because the brain doesn't stop developing until you're fuckin dead, if the whole thing about how learning things changes brain structures is true and how addictions can develop at any age.

#bluesky needs more baby goats... ☺️

Sorry for doomposting on main I just can't get this thought out of my head.

just don't see it is a serious concern, and I don't know how to fix it.

We're being gaslit by Google and Apple and Amazon and Microsoft and so on and it's just like... what the fuck can we even do at this point?

So much of modern technology is exactly the same--robots that listen to you in your sleep, TVs that phone home telling Daddy what you've been watching and listening to, the little spying device we all have to keep in our pockets all day every day or even choose to wear--and the fact so many people

Palantíri might have been good, useful technology under a less ruthless, less exploitative, less paranoid system, but under Sauron's control, or under the control of billionaire oligarchs, panatíri are horrifying tools of oppression and can be nothing else.

Literally the guys who started Palantir called their company Palantir after Tolkien's palantír, which it must be remarked are tools Sauron uses to spread propaganda and keep his oppressed populations under control. Technology is sometimes bad because of the conditions under which it exists.

Idk it's like, the propaganda that technological progress is an unqualified good even when it's being used in horrific ways is unreal, no actually, technology that will be used only for the benefit of billionaire oligarchs and governments for mass surveillance and to murder poor minorities is bad!

Yesterday somebody asked me why I'm such a luddite when I work in IT because I don't like the direction technology is being driven by billionaire tech bros and I can't stop thinking about it.

I did walk them through how actually the Luddites were right, but like...

Obligatory All Presidents Are Bastards

I did, but there's some like, plastic stuff in the way and I was afraid to push harder :(

not me just staring at a picture of sweet corn on my computer wishing I could eat it rn

That's not what basically any anarchists believe lol
