Lmao @ Marvels most recent Thunderbolts comic, in this moment in time, straight up sending a whole bunch of their US readers to google who the f was this dude Sergey Nechayev and what did he advocate to do about tyrants and the rich.

A little story about repression and why I've never treated arrests as something anyone should do: for those of you who don't remember, Occupy Wall Street was a massive movement that was centered around encampments that popped up in city centers across the US (and Canada and UK) from Sept to Nov 2011

Let me take this format for a spin

De over de ruggen van dieren en milieu schatrijk geworden familie Van Drie koopt Veluwse kalverhouderijen op om te voorkomen dat die stoppen. Zo lijken we te bewegen richting het Vlaamse scenario, waar veehouders megastallen runnen in loondienst van agroreuzen. www.gld.nl/nieuws/82237...

Organizmo! The Colombian architects overturning colonialist ‘sustainability’ ideas

Let’s be honest, this would not be the most unlikely thing to happen to Mar-a-lago.

Say what you will about kings but they used to die in hilariously gory ways. We haven't seen a proper traditional slapstick death in a long time, it's mostly boring old age instead of getting stabbed by an assassin hiding in the toilet while taking a shit and not being noticed til they began to rot

Wat zegt het dat de BBB niet genoeg kandidaten kan vinden in een provincie met meer dan 1600 agrarische bedrijven? www.omroepflevoland.nl/nieuws/41674...

22 maart, 14.00 uur op De Dam in Amsterdam.

Wat is de kans dat Eva een van de lebensborn baarmoeders van Musk wordt?

Interessant verhaal, met Nederlands tintje.

Fijn dat @schimmelpenninck.bsky.social zoveel aandacht heeft gegenereerd voor de demonstratie van 22 maart. Ik denk dat het zomaar de belangrijkste demonstratie sinds die van 1981 zouden kunnen worden.

22 February is the birthday of anti-colonial writer, historian and activist Anton de Kom (Paramaribo, 1898 - Neuengamme 1945), expelled from Suriname by the colonial authorities, murdered by the Nazis. Pick up a free copy of his book in the public library #Amsterdam750 #BlackHistoryMonth #Day22

This is perfect. The thing about Elon is how -- in all his mangled efforts to try to curry some nerd/sci-fi cred, he never engages with the one crucial figure: Ozymandias of Watchmen fame. Supposedly the world's smartest man -- who thinks that his intellect alone can save humanity from itself. 🧵

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

one wild thing about this movement is that because of how overvalued tesla stock shorting tesla and then engaging in action that brings down the stock price can help fund the movement its insane

When American "conservatism" has become too toxic for the European far right.

Why is the frame always "x million people use anti-depressants, we need to lower pharmaceutical use" and much more rarely "x million are struggling and unhappy, how can we help? (This also applies to ADHD and its meds)

Bannon has a bit of a "I can't afford to sue all of you if you call it a Nazi salute" half heartedness to it that Musk's didn't.

#OtD 20 Feb 1924 Italian anarchist tailor, Ernesto Bonomini, killed a leading Italian fascist in a Paris restaurant, declaring that he wanted to avenge the victims of fascism. Sentenced to 8 years hard labour, then commuted to simple imprisonment stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9...

At the end of the day, countries would rather destroy themselves on a fundamental level than raise taxes on the rich. They want you to live in the delusion that house prices are going up, when reality is your income went down.

Het ministerie van Defensie heeft de Tweede Kamer onjuist geïnformeerd over onveilige oefeningen bij het Korps Commandotroepen. Terwijl interne en externe alarmbellen afgingen, verzweeg het ministerie dat het korps eigenhandig de minimale veilige afstand bij oefeningen met explosies had ingekort.

"We were told by Trump’s supporters that he would strengthen, indeed save the Western alliance. A month into his presidency, it has all but collapsed." "The postwar order fell, gradually then suddenly."

Chill in the air in Turkey after heads of the country's top business group detained over criticism of mounting government pressure across politics, civil society, media, military. Erdogan said the criticism “exceeded limits” and warned of plot to overthrow his government t24.com.tr/haber/tusiad...

Today I've discovered an animal called "Skeleton panda sea squirt" exists. A sessile, filter feeding tunicat.

Zo is dat: “Het debat over de conflicten tussen fatbikes, bromfietsen en fietsen overschaduwt het echte probleem: auto’s krijgen te veel ruimte.” www.tue.nl/nieuws-en-ev...

Zal ik eens even glashard aantonen hoe erg ter kwader trouw de ChristenUnie in het debat over conversietherapie zit? Trouw schrijft dat Different niet meer bestaat. EHAH (Evangelische Hulp Aan Homofielen) hun voorloper bestaat ook niet meer. Dat was de voorloper van Different

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

Dit is met de Nederlandse media grotendeels niet anders…
