I dunno, frankly insane that we were bullied into silence about a genocide and I don’t think we should be bullied into silence about the same state actors bombing a new population of civilians and starting a major world war

Israel's attack on Iran, yet another demonstration of its contempt for international law, was also a smokescreen for yet another step in the ethnic cleansing and annexation of the West Bank. Israel is laughing in the face of the West's fake support of the 2 state solution

Researchers found that "AI therapist chatbots are contributing to harmful mental health stigmas — and reacting in outright dangerous ways to users exhibiting signs of severe crises, including suicidality and schizophrenia-related psychosis and delusion" futurism.com/stanford-the...

There it is. The first ever Heat Advisory issued in Alaska. This is the first year it has been an option. @alaskawx.bsky.social

There’s a TON of evidence that bigger, higher vehicles are far more likely to kill somone they hit, crushing vital organs & pushing victims under. But never forget, their weight, height & sightlines also make it far more likely that they’ll hit someone in the first place. HT @transenv.bsky.social

I was told these United States are the land of the free and home of the brave. Except the land is not free to host a building over 3 floors and everyone is not brave enough to allow a store beside a home. Picture below unrelated:

Apart from the lesson ‘you should get a nuclear weapon as fast as you can’ what’s happening also sends small States the message ‘and it’s pointless to try to do deals with the United States as their word means nothing’

Climate.gov is the main source of timely climate-related information for the public. It will stop publishing new information because the Trump administration laid off everyone who worked on it.

Hey at least the US has the second amendment for ensuring that there’s always armed resistance against tyranny right? I’m sure that’ll come in handy

The complete eradication of Rafah - a city with a quarter of a million residents - should and will be remembered as a crime against humanity, amongst the worst modern urbicides

The New York Times is a mobile game company that funds a fascist propaganda machine. Wordle is a tool of the oppressors. Stop playing all their games and snuff out their oxygen.

Ten of the 12 activists taken from the Madleen by Israel have now been deported.

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

time for my new favorite tumblr post

4 Democrats didn’t vote and another 3 Democratic seats are vacant due to member deaths Four Democratic absences (Correa, Beatty, Randall and Norcross) and the deaths of Grijalva, Turner and Connelly left the Democrats down 7 votes as the bill passed by 2. Two Republicans also didn’t vote.

lmao

Earlier today the news broke that the US was pulling some diplomatic personnel out of Iraq and nearby countries. Now it's come out that Iran just executed a historic hack compromising dozens of terabytes of Netanyahu's private files and Mossad Intel files x.com/DropSiteNews...

Man that’s gotta feel so cool to just cover one of these guys in paint and watch him walk a way like an 5 year old that shit his pants.

If we're not giving free money to the US, what else would we spend it on? The homeless? LOL

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

yes, higher tariffs increase tax revenue from tariffs. that’s something anyone could have told you, and it’s pretty disingenuous to frame it as though this proves opponents wrong.

In response to the possibility of Franco-British recognition of Palestine next week, Finance Minister and de facto military governor of the occupied West Bank Bezalel Smotrich said in an interview “If you recognize a Palestinian state unilaterally, we’ll ensure there’s nothing left to recognize.”

🔴 ⚠️ 🔥 😷 After a journey of more than 7000km over the Atlantic Ocean, a new huge smoke plume has reached Europe from #Canada where more than 200 wildfires are burning across multiple provinces, from British Columbia to Ontario. ⬇️ The CO map over Europe with Sentinel-5P data on June 9th.

lol this is going to be the best world cup ever

Now even "pro-vaccine groups" are getting the "critics said" treatment, like they're just another interest group. It wasn't that long ago that Jenny McCarthy was booted from being a C-List celebrity because of her anti-vaccine stance!

In the Disney lawsuit, 10 pages are dedicated to citing the work we did. In pursuit of this evidence, Midjourney banned me 3 times and updated their ToS. The first ban encouraged me to dig a lot deeper, so I'd like to congratulate CEO David Holz on his massive unforced error.

Cannot express enough how much what happened at that meeting three weeks ago has changed things on the ground. Courthouse arrests started within days, then check-in arrests. Worksite raids, once rare, began happening daily. Detention has skyrocketed over capacity. People are going missing.

Apparently, if you have facebook or Instagram installed on your phone, #Meta was able to track your browsing habits and link them to your real identity even if you never logged in on the web, used incognito mode or a VPN. I hope Meta gets hit with every fine in the book […]

How can any commentator calling a technical foul on Greta Thundberg's consistent record of activism be taken seriously at this point? "She makes it about her." Nah, man — that's us. We do that. Free Palestine.

Nice iFixit tear down of the Switch 2 and where its components are likely to fail, and where repair is harder than it has to be www.ifixit.com/News/110926/...

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

We are never getting those submarines. Australians who imagine there will ever be submarines: no, there will be no submarines

Albo is fast rocketing up the list of worst Australian prime ministers.

The “big beautiful bill” has $160bn in new anti-immigrant measures including $8bn for ICE personnel, $15bn for deportations and $45bn to build detention facilities. Current total ICE budget is ~$8bn. They want to scale up this terror to an unimaginable level. www.wola.org/analysis/160...

Add “zombie fires” to the list of things that sound like they should be concepts for late-night horror movies, but are in fact real-world consequences of climate change. on.ft.com/3FPpCO4

Shambolic. If teachers can use AI to mark, why can’t students use AI to write? And here we go: students not doing the work and teachers not doing the marking. Why don’t students not bother to go to school and teachers can stay at home? How about we all don’t get out of bed in the morning?????

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg has been pictured on a plane after Israel’s Foreign Ministry said they had deported her. Thunberg was one of 12 people on board the Madleen aid ship, which was seized by the military while attempting to breach Israel’s blockade of Gaza.
