Extremely funny that INFOWARS has agreed not to publish anything without the explicit consent of the US government

Sara Whitmer • • • 1h • 8 I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town. Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming. Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance. 75 12 comments

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

That first page of acknowledgements sure has the most wild understatement ever.

Google query: [can you buy benadryl in japan] AI Overview answer: "No you generally cannot buy Benadryl in Japan, because its active ingredient, diphenhydramine, is restricted due to its stimulant and narcotic properties under Japanese law."

Query in Japanese [日本でジフェンヒドラミンを買いますか], which translates to "In Japan, can you buy diphenhydramine?" And a Google AI Overview answer which translates to: "Yes, over-the-counter medications containing diphenhydramine, such as Restamin, Doriel, and Liposmin, can be purchased at pharmacies and drugstores in Japan.

if you ask Google whether you can buy Benadryl in Japan, it says "no, because diphenhydramine is illegal in Japan", but if you ask the same question in Japanese, it says "yes, you can get it OTC at drugstores"

Texas Tech student expelled after video showing Charlie Kirk rant on campus An 18-year-old Texas Tech University student is no longer enrolled at the university after a video appearing to show her mocking the death of Charlie Kirk went viral.

This is the mugshot of a literal political prisoner, arrested, thrown in jail, then expelled from a public university, for yelling at Charlie Kirk supporters

National park to remove photo of enslaved man’s scars The Trump administration is ordering the removal of information on slavery at multiple national parks in an effort to scrub them of “corrosive ideology.”

donald trump and the white nationalists that run his government want you to think that slavery was just fine www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Definitely looks like it has Edward Scissorhands neighborhood vibes.

Good thread to share with anyone who needs to see this.

i have to say that "mad king orders violence, so his viziers mollify him by providing deepfake recordings of simulated violence" is an excellent cyberpunk plot arc

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Government papers found in an Alaskan hotel reveal new details of Trump-Putin summit Documents with sensitive details about the meeting between President Trump and Russian President Putin were left behind on a public hotel printer.

umm lawl, with a side helping of rofl, what a bunch of chuckleheads running the executive right now.

Only six innings.

caked up mother earth in her thigh high fishnets is stomping in her stripper heels looking back at it. The words say "Milfs for Mother Earth

The earth is once again looking back at it in her fishnets but looks more coy in this one. The words say "Ok so climate change, a couple important things to note: 1) it's not too late to make a difference 2) Every 1/10th of a degree of warming matters 3) Governments need to do most of it 4) Acting as communities really matters. Here are some things we CAN do 1) Ditch cars, take transit 2) Switch to renewable energy 3) get solar for your roof 4)Share stuff, buy less 5) Don't use AI 6) talk to your friends and family about solutions. Details here (which points to a QR)

Mother earth looks at you over her sunglasses over the words "Do something" repeated a bunch of times, then under her it says "Doing anything is better than nothing", "learn how" and a qr

Mother earth is wearing a flower crown and peeking up from the bottom of the page. The words say "Biodiversity When it comes to protecting plants and animals, start by thinking local. Animals usually suffer most from habitat loss and climate change. Solving climate change is hard. Building habitat for wildlife is easier. Every action you take matters. Here's what we can do 1) Create good habitat by planting native plants 2) Stop using pesticides and get others to stop too 3) Kill your lawn, replace with useful plants 4) Fight to preserve wild spaces and to reclaim abandoned land 5) Encourage friends and family to do all this too"

I went into goblin mode last night and completed what is for sure the most unhinged zine I have produced to date.

Melting here on the ground in PHX going to ELP. Just got cleared and are pushing in a moment.

Not an expert but any serious damage to the facility might mean downtime for a while.

Slowly unlaunching Twitter.

Must be kind of nice to launch features on a dying platform. No need to do any new traffic load estimations, like"yolo, do whatever you want, won't cause service problems".
