'Warmth of Blood' by Ali al-Sharqawi

I did something unintended on my phone which activated Google's Gemini AI. In my frustration I said, "Oh, for fuck's sake!" and Gemini started a recitation about my outburst. Now I'm trying to figure out how to turn that shit off.

I'm under the impression that IOF values supercede (dare I say, trump?) international law, as the description of their behavior indicates.

tired homophobia without any material resistance? That’s Democrats baby!

The only thing I know about the Super Bowl is this.

Tweet of the day...

Black Mask just wants to be understood.

NEW: A Harris campaign organizer says senior officials ordered them to erase voters who asked about Gaza—marking emails as “no response” so they’d be removed from outreach. No engagement, no persuasion, just ignored. “The only clowns are the ones who decided to abdicate on this.”

Thread:

liberals love to complain when there’s protests under democratic presidents and then love to complain when there is not immediately larger protests under a republican president. the throughline is they don’t participate in either of them

Back in the early days of the Web, there was a site with a long list of Euphemisms For Male Masturbation (which was also the title). Wishing I could add to that list right now...

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

if the president’s lackeys can functionally seize control of treasury funds and dismantle a congressionally-created agency without consequence, it’s not that it’s a constitutional crisis as much as it means the constitution is vapor.

This is KKK shit and not even sort of

"Meritocracy"

in which I argue it was probably a bad idea for major US media outlets to spend months treating Musk's "DOGE" committee as an aw shucks, good faith effort to "reduce waste" and "find efficiencies" in our government.

This is so fucking stupid.

Remember kids, AI transcription doesn't take kindly to mumbling. CC: @kenjilopezalt.bsky.social

my outsider perspective on US politics is that it seems like i spend 4 years getting told the democrats can't do the thing because they need just one more vote, and then the republicans get in and can do whatever they want because half of the democrats vote with them

Who has invite codes for the new one

This has also been their entire rhetoric the whole time. They only disliked “the wall” because it was “inefficient” not because it was a grotesque monument to militarized racism

This Democratic Senator is saying that Trump isn’t deporting enough people. This isn’t opposing fascism, it’s encouraging it.

Yes, this is a real post written the day before the crash. Austerity kills.

The people who didn’t vote withheld their support not because they thought it was going to make something happen; people couldn’t stomach casting a vote for someone they knew wasn’t going to make anything happen but more death.

Oh wow he was defrocked for this.

Everything the Israelis have used to justify genocide--schools as weapons depots, hospitals as Hamas bases, incinerated babies, the mass rape event--proved to be a straight-out lie. Don't even entertain the bullshit from here on out and just automatically disbelieve whatever they say, instead.
