If the point of having a society *isn't* to care for each other, to ease suffering and realize each life's potential, literally what is the point? To hoard wealth? To build empires on other people's throats? Life is brief, nothing lasts. Wealth and empires are pointless violence

Threatening CFPB escalation still works. Had a nice little proactive phone convo with my business banking provider after disappointment with proposed resolution provided via an online chat. $$$

Microsoft cancelling AI data center leases is perhaps the first time a major company may be admitting to themselves there’s not much of a future in this crap technology.

also I must offer my opinion A lot of people look at manga and imagine a paradise. That paradise is an illusion. The artists who draw manga are working with a team of assistants. And even so, it is commonplace for them to work around the clock, continually without rest. and then they die at 60.

I went on a whole rant about this last night and the week before and before but I will say it here: I want fewer, worse looking manga (and comics in general) with longer waits between issues if it means I don't get to be able to name like a dozen of my favorite artists that are all dead at 40-60

DOECHII THE DON DOECHII THE DEAN DOECHII SUPREME THE SWAMP RULER 🐊 👑

Just filed an article about the upcoming German elections (out on Sunday) and what strikes me is how timid much of the institutional pushback against the far-right has been. Some people have distinguished themselves but for the most part it’s just been really complacent - really disappointing.

This isn’t some rant saying “Germany has learned nothing from its past” - the reality is more subtle than that. Middle-class Germans live and travel with an incredible amount of ease and comfort, and they just got…sleepy. Many of them dismissed the far-right’s rage as just another set of complaints.

One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.

A lot of interesting things happening with this $300m suit against Greenpeace for their (alleged) role in the DAPL protests, including the oil company (or...someone) sending out a mailer 'critical of' the protests to households in the county where the trial's being held.

Hello everyone ❤️ This is how I found my house when I returned to northern Gaza. It was no longer habitable and needed a lot of repair 🥹💔 Therefore, I need your support so that I and my family can live there 🥹💔 Donate here ⬇️⬇️ gofund.me/67212ac7

Please get your flu vaccine it's not too late, if not for yourself than for someone else!

Rania is trying to help her family- it’s so hard to be a Gazan not in Gaza with your family 💔

Consider the possibility that today’s Nazi fascist segregationists have had plenty of time and opportunity to be inspired by American segregationism, Nazi fascism, and Italian fascism, as well as their own American Big Tech-era contributions. Expect to see elements of all of it at work.

The largest part of Elon Musk's wealth is Tesla, a company with an insanely inflated stock price that is wholly dependent on positive consumer sentiment. Tarnishing Tesla's brand could plausibly cost Musk $100 billion. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/tesla-is-m...

I hate when the Onion just reports the news

I spoke with Ahmed and at a private clinic he need $400 for medicine and stitches for this sweet little boy- I’m going to see if I can help find a cheaper alternative but if you can donate a little that would be great ❤️

“Equality is never achieved by becoming acceptable to the oppressor, and acceptability is not our goal. Erasure is never acceptable, and being acceptable is not equality.” - Denise Norris Shoutout to @simonfournet.bsky.social for his invaluable work at the scene

if you want artists to make weirder art, you have to create stable living conditions that allow them to. homogeneity isn't a matter of artists lacking culture-- there are many soulful artists out there-- it's a matter of unregulated corporate dominance combined with artists who cant afford to create

Think of all the artists who just post commissions. That's all they ever have time for. You don't know what they like or who their OCs are because they're always working. throw $$ at artists to draw their own shit, please. Like, genuinely, please.

“What I noticed was that the man is a liar, and not particularly good at it. The lifelong South African talked about how of course he opposed apartheid, then two minutes later spoke about being personal friends with the entire apartheid regime.”

My name is Abdullah AlHaj 25 years old from Gaza. Like many here, my life was shattered by war. After high school, I gave up my dream of getting a university degree to support my family. I became skilled at manufacturing chemicals, supporting my loved ones and starting a family. gofund.me/d14cbe76

“in Musk and his companies’ futures. It’s all legal, or most of it is, but it’s one big confidence scheme built upon a house of cards. These investors believe in Musk largely because he, like his father, is a relentless liar who refuses to back down once his dishonesty becomes glaringly obvious.”
