predators like predators 🚫 don’t rank cuomo 🚫

I saw a slightly less insane version of this 25 years ago. Pass.

The American evangelical right is absolutely shitting themselves with excitement over this. There is nothing on planet earth that they want more then a destabilized Middle East at war to trigger the rapture. This is 100% fact even though it sounds ridiculous.

Of course this war is framed religiously.

The US just broke international law, and the Democrats ask for a briefing.

You won't get impeachment with the current crop of so-called lawmakers in Congress, USA.

Nothing to draw eyes away from losing domestically than fabricating a war.

crashing the economy and starting a war in the Middle East Donald Trump has finally become a conventional Republican after all

I want to know the story here.

Can we all agree that the people who voted for Trump because they are anti-war are the dumbest fucking people?

Fetterman is in first to sniff Trump's arse.

A significant potion of the citizenry of the USA does not KNOW what Trump did today is illegal. So why would they be worried? To them, this is what a president-king is supposed to do.

Having a democracy, but depriving your citizens of the wherewithal to be critical and part of its system of checks and balances means you won't have a democracy anymore. Without citizens to contest the government's power, the system fails.

every single member of Congress should be pushing for Trump’s impeachment. and every single Democrat who isn’t calling for impeachment should be primaried

The Peace President now has a tally of exacerbating two running wars and starting a new one.

Turn Gestapo: The cleric can use their Channel Divinity ability to emit an aura of shame and righteous judgment. Any Gestapo, fascists, lickspittles, or thugs in the area of effect must use the waddle action to move at full speed away for three rounds timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

Every so often there will be a company that launches two versions of a product, one imported and one “Made In USA” and y’all will not believe which one people buy

Hahaha, in your face, mastodonten.

Mooi artikel met de ons allen bekende (voormalig) sekswerker Metje Blaak 🥰✊️. Mooi dat haar inzet voor onder andere sekswerkers is erkend door #Amsterdam 🎉

Op de 📻 Radio bij #SpraakmakersOp1 " #Sekswerk is al 25 jaar legaal in Nederland, maar 'wordt onmogelijk gemaakt'" (red: Er wordt in de titel foutief verwezen naar opheffing bordeelverbod) met #behindthesien en #MistressEve2 www.nporadio1.nl/nieuws/binne...

More disturbing is that Musk is talking to a bot as if it has thoughts and agency. First: he doesn't understand LLMs. Second: If he really believes that, messing with its mind would be extremely unethical.

Dinosaurussen uit de PvdA proberen motie-Piri te framen als een Groen-Linksmotie, maar Piri is sinds jaar en dag lid van de PvdA. Dat doet me concluderen dat ze dit gewoon aangrijpen de prille nieuwe partij op te blazen. Het passende woord is "saboteur"

Restricting access to knowledge that does not please you and pushing only the narratives that do is the very definition of propaganda. The fact that people loving Musk do not know this is a result of that very propaganda to begin with.

Reposting @helendecruz.net's "goofy Space drama" which isn't goofy at all, and one of the cooler readings on Spinoza I've encountered. One of the best things about her, among so many, is her heart-felt innocent love of Sci-fi. helendecruz.substack.com/p/blessedness May she LONG live in my heart!

Missing Helen & trying to think of the best way to honor them. Perhaps it is to let myself be useless. Count grass. Maybe sand. Helen wrote,” joy doesn't always come spontaneously. Much like wonder, you have to make space for it in your life” & so I will try. helendecruz.substack.com/p/finding-joy

His adorable hooves... 🥹

Since it's almost Midsummer...

Siri, what is propaganda?

A beautiful text on Helen de Cruz, who is alive in what she leaves behind.

We had hoped to have this event with Helen present, but we intend to go ahead with it despite yesterday's news. The event is a celebration of Helen's work, not a memorial. No one is dead while their name is still spoken. So let's speak it.

Het probleem met Wilders en Wachtgeld is dat wachtgeld góed is. *Wat slecht is Wilders' hypocrisie.* Geef hem geen ammunitie om toekomstige wachtgelders het leven zuur te maken.
