"Nikita Khrushchev was First Secretary of the Soviet Communist Party from 1953 until 1964. He is perhaps best known in the West for his 1956 “Secret Speech” denouncing his predecessor, Joseph Stalin."
Over on Twixxer, Admin officials, GOP senators and right wing influencers are SCREAMING that this is fake news, absolutely made up and CNN should be ashamed of themselves.
Which means it is 100% true.
Yeah, the water usage is a far bigger problem with data centers on the environmental front. It is almost like the energy use drama is intended as a diversion from the real issue, our very real global water crisis. But there's also stuff like Elon illegally using gas generators.
All that repressed energy and self loathing has to come out somehow. Also, they are people who are trying to pretend we aren't biological creatures of flesh, bone and blood. And they have traded away the present for an imaginary future that only exists if you are dead. They hate being embodied.
This is the kind of news that a politician leaks in a desperate attempt to save their reputation when they know things are going badly. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
She is just such a real person, it is so lovely to witness amongst the sea of people desperate to be famous.
I love my little sister who i just learned about a month ago~
Alysa Liu said no to a parade. She wanted to party with the people in Oakland.

Do we even need Adam Curtis anymore when Hillary Clinton is selling epic bacon merch from her Jeffrey Epstein deposition?
Things are getting worse in Canada
A female friend of mine told me last year that a red flag for her when dating men was how involved they were in sports betting. And you know what? She is right.

Trump Opens the Door for ICE to Target Anyone Suspected of Being Trans
Under a new rule, the State Dept will be able to revoke trans people's visas over "misrepresentation." It'll give ICE grounds to suspect all trans people of being in the US illegally. transitics.substack.com/p/trump-admi...

We need online anonymity, so people can speak against their government and others in power without fear of retaliation. We need smaller platforms and the ability to build them, to diversify away from big tech. We need young people to be able to access information that contradicts the fascist state.
notice how the press helps Sam Altman pretend that he's not just some sort of sage hybrid sociologist/philosopher, but he's an outsider to the problems his bad choices cause
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
Testimony in a December hearing in the case provided a remarkable acknowledgment by an ICE officer of how daily target arrest numbers played out at the local level, and appeared to contradict the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials’ repeated claims that officers didn’t have quotas.
We are not doing better against technofascism, xenophobia, isolationism and eugenics in Canada, we are actively becoming crueler and worse people under Carney's governance.
President Zelenskyy:
More than ten countries have already turned to us for support in defending against Iranian Shahed drones.
"These are, in fact, the same attack drones that the Iranian regime supplied to Russia and trained Russians to use against the civilian population of Ukraine."
It is EXACTLY the same as "the old patriarchy" and literally has a very old pedo patriarch at the center of it. This romaticizing of patriarchy is highly problematic framing. It has always been full of abusive pedos, that is just what patriarchy is when you pull back the curtain.
And as if MAGA sexism is at all worse than "the old patriarchy"...talk about romanticizing the "old patriarchy" like Epstein. MAGA sexism IS old patriarchy ffs.
This. Some women think everything is a competition (particularly one for male attention). They suck as much as men who think everything is a competition to the death. They also make competition for fun in stuff lik sports not fun at all. I am so sick of these people.
weird how none of the defectors—or, indeed, the writer—acknowledge that many women were making all of these critiques (that, surprise!, turned out to be correct!) ALL WHILE they were in their contemptuous radicalization phases
Good for @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social for responding this way to this utterly inane question. The rule of law & constitutional rights are not a Narrative horse race.
They're kind of projecting there, nobody owes us their social time online or off, particularly if we are being unpleasant. Community doesn't exist just to serve us, we join it by bringing something into it. Wild how many people feel entitled to other people's social attention while being abusive.
Offering a tax credit that wont show up for someone until as much as a year after they had to already have the liquid cash to buy a home, quite literally is a centrist policy that only helps the people just wealthy enough to buy a home already
Okay, this really is hilarious. They're all just shuffling around so their big shoes don't fall of. Fascism is ludicrous, cruel and deadly but also literally a clown shoe show.
The IDF has issued an evacuation order in *central Beirut* in Bachoura near the Saint Joseph University. These are all heavily populated areas. There’s a school near the red zone. This is where Israel is going to bomb.
