Capitalist bred innovation at its finest.

I have never seen a situation so dismal that Tony Blair couldn't make it worse.

A truly definitive history of how we ended up where we are.

Billionaires really are proof you can achieve the impossible…they’ve made space travel cringe…

You’ve murdered nearly 20,000 children in 18 months…you absolute ghouls… #freepalestine

I don't care what side of the Israel-Palestine conflict your sympathies lie on, snatching up people with a valid student visa for the crime of writing an OpEd is naked fascism and if you don't oppose this you are a threat to this country's most basic values

Might be time for a burner phone…

If Mahmoud Khalil, a permanent resident, can be deported... Then I, a permanent resident, can also be deported... ...if you're going to deport a Palestinian for speaking out against war crimes, then be fucking consistent and deport me too...

Urinal at Austin Airport today

Speech of the year so far.

Not sure l've ever wanted to reach through a screen and strangle someone as much as I did watching Trump and Vance shouting at Zelensky today #slavaukraini #ukraine

He is not just appeasing Putin, he is aligned with him. And every single client journalist, political shill & public/online cheerleader on both sides of the Atlantic is too. Against Zelensky. Against Ukraine. Against freedom. Against the most basic tenets of decency.

In case there was any doubt you should immediately stop reading the WSJ. “We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets”….”viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.” Bezos #bezos #neoliberalism

To the vatniks, campists, fascists and self-described "pragmatists" saying "maybe Trump has got a point": There is one nation and one nation alone that should decide the terms for peace in Ukraine. Ukraine.

Ireland should have never started it with the Brits, they should have done a deal! #ukraine

Thoughts on the current situation #gaza #palestine #education #politics

Withdraws from UN Human Rights council, makes the following statements. Anyone not calling this ethnic cleansing is your enemy. #gaza #freepalestine

Perfectly normal, functioning democracy.

Our motto is “Free markets, free people.” Here’s why we’re gonna simp for Trump’s tariff war.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

On his orders, his henchmen murdered my former colleague and chopped up his body with a bone saw.

Are we pretending this isn’t Fianna Fáil cowering before Trump? I didn’t get that memo.

This was 31 years ago, Leonard Peltier had already been in prison for 17 years. #leonardpeltier #ratm #freedom

I think David Lynch opened a portal on his way out.

I can see it now, Trump will “save” TikTok in an attempt to bring swaths of young voters to his side. I’ll remind you all of this Executive Order back in August 2020, when the Trump Administration openly called for a TikTok ban trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential...

This is what explains Musk’s recent obsession with backing the far right in Europe and going on about making Europe great again. This and the racism. Everything else is noise.

⚡️ American director David Lynch, creator of Twin Peaks, has passed away at 78. In 2022, following Russia’s full-scale invasion, Lynch expressed support for Ukraine in an iconic video address to Putin.

It takes mind-numbing depravity to try to kill as many civilians of your enemy before the ceasefire begins which you have agreed to. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

When billionaires take control of vital communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy. And when those billionaires justify their business motives by citing “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Don't be fooled.

These people are your enemies

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...

Elon Musk’s fascist turn isn’t puzzling at all. It’s all about labour 🧵

The Russian disinformation network “Matryoshka” has launched a new campaign on Bluesky. Eliot Higgins, founder of the investigative journalism group Bellingcat, has been one of the first researchers to detect its activity. So far, four Russian-made fake videos have been identified on the platform.

Quite a few pseudo-maoists that speak frequently about the plight of the Palestinians, as we all should, yet at the same time parrot Russian propaganda about Ukraine. It is not enough to just be anti-western imperialism. You must be against ALL imperialism. #freepalestine #slavaukraine

Recovering from autistic burnout by drinking tea and reading PDFs of declassified CIA fascist militia training manuals

Lisdoonvarna, Ireland

Begrudgery of artists, musicians etc is a much more visceral parasocial relationship than overt fandom. Rife with complex internal conflict. A begrudger would be horrified at the thought that they are actually engaging in a parasocial relationship
