Happy 80th anniversary of Hitler killing himself in his bunker to all who celebrate, which, as I now understand it, is not everybody

The most sickening read of the decade is “it’s objectively true”. On FOX NEWS OF ALL PLACES

Crashing a four-wheeler and drinking 5 beers is actually a traditional Easter celebration in parts of the south. #facts #Wrestlemania #WrestleSky

RIP TikTok. It should’ve been Twitter

A 4 panel comic The first two panels are titled “Blocking someone on Twitter” Panel 1: Blue guy holding a door open. Red guy stands in the doorway Panel 2: Blue guy slams door on Red guy, however the door has large glass panels, so Red Guy can still keep watching Blue guy like an absolute pervert. The second two panels are titled “Blocking someone on Bluesky” Panel 3: The Blue guy is reaching down and picking up a large piece of machinery. The red guy watches him. Panel 4: The large piece of machinery is revealed to be a shoulder mounted nuclear cannon. Blue Guy uses the cannon to blast Red guy completely out of existence.

If you need a little boost to keep sober or to limit your alcohol intake, here’s a lil sumthin from the surgeon general:

COINTELPRO: Teaching the FBI’s War on the Black Freedom Movement Through examining FBI documents, students learn the scope of the FBI’s COINTELPRO campaign to spy on, infiltrate, discredit, and disrupt all corners of the Black Freedom Movement.

Which is why US history classes should include COINTELPRO.

Gets scant attention in textbooks, so we offer a free lesson for grades 7+ (also useful for higher ed.)

"The lesson on COINTELPRO electrified my students." -- Brandon Grijalva, high school teacher ⬇️

Should Democrats move to the right? Absolutely not. That's morally wrong and bad politics.

The real lesson of 2024 is that Democrats must become an anti-establishment party ready to shake up the system on behalf of working people.

X Is a White-Supremacist Site Elon Musk has made one of Twitter’s most glaring problems into a core feature on X.

“X is no longer a social-media site with a white-supremacy problem, but a white-supremacist site with a social-media problem.” — @cwarzel.bsky.social

1. Because I’d rather not have the leader of DOGE have access to my thoughts and opinions

I don’t think I have enough followers to even do this, but I’ll try

“All striped colors turn the same clay grey in the urn” is a CRAZY bar 🤯

Oh my god. I love this. I love this thought. Think of this time as the Patriarchical Death Throes.

Your yearly reminder that Fellowship of the Ring is a Christmas movie.

I will not elaborate.

It’s a strange feeling to see that you have new followers and they’re all actual people. Still not used to that 🤣

I’m so happy that @thetnholler.bsky.social is on here. They do fantastic work where I live, and hopefully more people will get to see that now

No question. It’s almost canon.

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

tweet from snarls saying: every "traditional" social norm was invented by advertisers in 1957 and every "newfangled social phenomenon" has been around for 3000 years

the simple truth conservatives always ignore

Protesters protest for human rights?
Met by police.

Against banks and institutions?
Met by police.

For unjust killings of unarmed black men and women, and kids?
Met by police.

Anti war?
Met by police.

Anti genocide?
Met by police.

Nazis march?
No police.
They just march around.

I find this helpful.

The “echo chamber” I’m “stuck in” is filled with funny, passionate, tolerant people who are a delight to interact with.

They might be a hair too horny for their own good, but fuck it, the world is ending. You’re allowed.

I knew twitter was a toxic cesspit, but I didn’t realize how truly awful it was until I switched over to here. It’s insane how much good moderation and basic functions can make a whole platform better.

Oh neat! @adamclarkestes.com and I just landed in a very similar place also! www.vox.com/technology/3...
