My great grandmother got this medal, followed by 3 letters from the Führer telling her that her boys were killed at the front and thanking her for the sacrifice.

The Katy Perry spaceship reminds me of when Bezos sent William Shatner into space and all the reporters asked “hey how did you feel up there?!” and Shatner was like “horror and disgust…emptiness and profound dread at the infinite gaping maw” and then the reporters had to be like haha cool! Neat!

"oh no, this'll make the right wing mad!" Buddy they get into a frothing rage over like, cereal mascots and cartoon characters and the mere existence of gay people and what oil a French fry is cooked in and women knowing how to read, etc. They'll get mad anyway, no matter what. Tell em to fuck off

The best thing my former boss taught me was saying "da gehe ich nicht mit" (i won't go along with that) in response to a professor bullying a struggling student. It completely broke the spell that this one pompous asshole had over the room.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

It's about 10C where I live and I just saw my neighbor's dog wearing what I can best describe as a trenchcoat. I see this so often now, but as a non-dog person, I gotta ask: when did we all decide that animals need jackets now?

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

“AI” really is the end result of american consumer culture. it’s the baby pacifier of a vocal subset of people who were raised to have zero interest in learning or discovery or creativity; they just want instant gratification via a computer that spits their preferred art/music/politics back at them.

I watched a documentary about the making of Thelma and Louise and the leaving-the-theater interviews with men who were very, very upset at this movie are so funny.

"The language that is being used has a specific resonance, which, historically, has been used to change regime type. It is important that the rights of human beings were violated. It is important that the rule of law was ignored. It is important that the executive is trying to define reality."

Been reading through a lot of December 1860 news, and I’m gonna tell you now: Abandon the Trump voters. They’re not worth the energy. They will either convert themselves through misery or die for their beliefs.

A thing that fucks people up is the refusal to take babysteps in doing something they suck at. Instead of starting where they can, and gradually improving, they just get frustrated that they're not already good at it and never even start.

This thread is so true that I've been thinking about it all day. I keep saying that Elon & friends remind me of the guys I started undergrad physics with -- dorks who made "nerdy genius" their entire personality and spent freshman year making quantum theory jokes while failing Newtonian mechanics.

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Das ganze Gerede von Cancel Culture und Meinungsfreiheit diente immer nur dazu, die eigene Macht und Zensur zu etablieren. Ich hoffe, Deutschland lernt daraus.

I had to email the linux admin at my work bc I misunderstood something he mumbled on the phone. He replied w a rude patronizing email explaining things to me like I'm an idiot, rather than considering for even a second that maybe I just didn't hear him right.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Es ist ganz einfach: Wenn dir zwei Autokraten sagen, spring, dann spring zweimal nicht! Also wählt nicht nur keine AfD, sondern fallt auch nicht auf ihre Masche herein, arme Minderheiten dafür verantwortlich zu machen, was uns reiche Minderheiten antun!

It’s high time we start being honest about what’s behind a lot of the push towards “wellness”. It’s ableism and eugenics. Its scared people who can’t face the fact that they could lose their health at any moment. It’s people who desperately need to cling to control. 🧵
