Happy Birthday to WEB Du Bois, who wrote about the wildly important concept of psychological wages of whiteness in the first history of Reconstruction, *Black Reconstruction in America*, which he messily dedicated to his mistress, Dr. Virginia Alexander, and not his wife, Nina Gomer #BookSky

I don't think y'all understand how much I despise generative AI and have little respect the people who use it. It was trained without the consent of the artists and writers it was meant to replace, it harms real people, and it profits oligarch techbros. I don't want that shit on me feed.

The response was entirely positive, so let the Nazi Punch of the Day begin. It seems appropriate to start with a classic. This is from Captain America Comics #1. The cover date was March 1941, but from what I've read, it was on the shelves several months earlier. #NPD #NaziPunching

Hegseth says firing of top military lawyers was about making sure "they don't exist to be roadblocks to anything that happens."

nobody says challenging the far right enables them legitimising their talking points and conceding ground to them on policy enables them outside of rhetoric i don’t see any difference between labour, cons, and reform. you’re all pushing racism, transphobia, austerity, and attacking disabled ppl

My earbuds are like 4 months old, I never clean them or the case, and they look almost new. I saw some article about cleaning your earbuds and the case they showed literally gave me nightmares. Either my ears are stunningly clean or some of your ears are breeding Eldritch horrors.

I have successfully sliced a huge strip of skin from the back of my index finger picking up a broken jar, and wow, that's a fun pain.

There are no legacy media companies that I trust. Stop giving fascist-enablers your money, time, and views.

Everyone should cancel their dinosaur media subscriptions. Pull the plug on corporate propaganda. Billionaire-controlled media don't report news. They manufacture consent for the ruling class. Cut them off and seek truth elsewhere. Unsubscribe, disengage, and support indie media.

Trolling has a place and time, and it isn't after someone loses access to life-saving medication. Trolling works when the target(s) are trying to accomplish something, especially in collaboration with others. Only then it can be effective action. If you want to be toxic, do it on Discord.

What if, instead of capitalism, we just give people the things they need and show them cool stuff & introduce them to cool people until they say, "hey, that seems like a cool thing you're doing. Can I help?" Happy, safe kids want to help you make cookies; that's just the way people are.

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

Taking away rights from trans people isn't stopping the crimes you "claim" it's stopping. It's fostering hate crimes against innocent trans people with your animus. And it's unnecessary. We already have laws against those things & this is a way for the powerful to control, hurt & exploit people.
