All eyes on Kashmir.

Like all ceasefires, this was broken within hours of being declared.

Two nuclear powers are bombing the crap out of each other over mostly civilian regions of Kashmir.

"Ceasefire" is the sweetest word in the English language.

That's actually exactly what is happening right now. While triggering a war might be stretching it, AI based misinformation is being leveraged very handily in fanning the flames of existing conflicts.

Thinking how absolutely USELESS conventional news media and social media have become in combating misinformation & disseminating facts with the advent of AI.

Didn't they say for every soldier on the front in WW2, there were 11 non-combatant personnel providing logistical support?!

Right?! I get why people are heartened by this and boosting it, De Niro is a certain age, of a certain *ahem* lineage, has mass appeal and a huge platform, at a time when trans folks are being assaulted on all fronts, clinging to this bit of good news is understandable but god we're in the dumps.

All started by a ww who felt entitled to the time and energy of fellow passengers on a plane because she's unapologetically "chatty."

Like if you don't want to love your (trans or autistic or disabled) child, if the love you bear your kids is CONDITIONAL, just don't procreate.

I get why this is a big deal, I do, but that doesn't mean I can't despair over how far we've fallen as a society.

We're scraping the bottom of the barrel if "I love my kids no matter what" feels like some kind of laudable moral high ground when in reality it is the absolute bare minimum standard you should have when bringing kids into this world.

The group chats that changed America A loose private network on Signal and WhatsApp helped usher in the new alliance between Silicon Valley and Donald Trumpโ€™s new right.

So basically there's a cabal of billionaire broligarchs, far right propagandists, and reactionary centrist journalists all on group chats radicalizing together and exerting coordinated narratives and influence on media and politics

A duck that has become ungovernable.

A duck that has become ungovernable.

This duck has decided to make her nest in the middle of the main tourist footbridge, in defiance of all gods and reason.

The town has ceded to her. We regulate around her. She is the highest authority. Please Do Not Feed Her.

It means I'm neurodiverse, constantly overwhelmed, and flying to a nation that may or may not disappear me to a third country black hole.

Excuse the fuck outta me for not being chatty.

Why am I seeing such an uptick of wild "discourse" on here?

My being human, and consequently not wanting to engage my uber driver/grocery store cashier/RANDOM STRANGER ON A PLANE does not mean I'm a fascist enabler.

My friend walked out to her uber to find her driver masturbating while standing up, outside the vehicle.

He finished, and got back in expecting her to get in.

Miss me with the "you're responsible for the state of this fucked up nation for not talking to your uber driver" bs.

Just saw the news out of Vancouver.

Sending strength and solidarity to the Fillipino community, the survivors, and the loved ones of the deceased.

Know that the immigrants in your life are self-censoring right now.
