Brian Eno calls on Microsoft to cease its partnership with Israel and pledges to donate the original fee for his Windows '95 chime to victims of Israel's genocide in Gaza

I haven't seen the same outpouring of support for Rodney Hinton, Jr. that we saw for Luigi Mangione. GoFundMe took down the fundraiser for Hinton, who is accused of killing an officer shortly after he watched bodycam footage of police killing his 18-year-old son.

y'all ever see a take so bad you are forced to immediately go to sleep?

I've seen a lot of shitting on Trump's reign, and rightfully so! But anyone saying democrats should've won must also bear responsibility. They ran on nothing but "we're not him." If they can't mount a compelling response to fascism, what good are they?

I still really like how I edited this to be a short. Was thinking about it recently.

I can't imagine they're sharing the information that he's a folk hero with Luigi Mangione, but hey, anyone after him will know what the public will think of them.

End privatization

@hyperthot.bsky.social You?!

they’re calling him The Adjuster and writing ao3 fic about him…
