And Bundy supporters showed up armed to the teeth and were openly sighting in on federal employees. None of this seemed overly troubling to those on the right. Imagine if these images were of LA protestors aiming in on LAPD officers.

Apparently, because it’s 2020 again, I need to start a thread on police violence targeting journalists in the US. So, here we go: 1. Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi shot by police officer with less lethal munition. m.youtube.com/watch?v=yrFJ...

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

My favourite one like this is Don Henley getting Brian to autograph a copy of Pet Sounds. Brian signed it "thanks for all the great music" then thought for a second, crossed out "great", and wrote "good"

As someone said prior, the only reason Greta got released is because people were very loud about her specifically. There are still 8 other flotilla members detained, apparently without fresh water in bedbug infested prison. They all deserve to be fought for, too.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

this is your occasional reminder that every elite media outlet and editor that spent the last 5 years pretending Republicans were the free speech party is either a moron or a fascist and either way you should treat their every utterance with contempt

After a recent court order, OpenAI is now required to retain the very data many of its users believed to be most private. This introduces serious privacy risks, especially for vulnerable users like victims and survivors of domestic violence, Belle Torek writes.

This is a great point, too. The Civil Rights movement iterated towards successful protests and strategies. You know what wasn't helpful for this process? Scolding by liberals.

I was raised in a home where disco was considered gay and lame, “disco must go” was something my parents chanted as 20-year-olds. Sly Stone was a rare brilliant creative and we were lucky to hear the music.

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

For anyone who thinks I'm joking here (and it's funny, but no) rumor is that the National Guard deployed in LA was sent under a 29 day order to avoid housing allowances, which means they have to fully pay for their own shelter. In LA. Zero notice. Durable fascisms don't shortchange the muscle.

Francesca Albanese: "Israel has absolutely no authority to intercept and stop a boat like this, which carried humanitarian aid.. to the people of Gaza. You know, there should be state navies breaking the siege instead of a boat of volunteers risking their lives". Spot on.

Also point this out to anyone you can. These were not planned protests. These were normies getting the supplies for their weekend projects or at a restaurant and saw their servers getting hauled off and were like this is some bullshit.
