Honestly both look great

turns out the discord situation is worse! the company that will be doing the age verifications with IDs is Persona, a peter thiel aligned company

we're going to try to wind down the Kill The Computer discord and try to get a subreddit for the podcasts community up and running

"The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and racism. The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power." -MARTIN LUTHER KING JR

THE PROBLEMS OF RACIAL INJUSTICE AND ECONOMIC INJUSTICE CANNOT BE SOLVED WITHOUT A RADICAL REDISTRIBUTION OF POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC POWER. -Martin Luther King Jr.

We must stay vigilant against even passive attempts to moderate the words of radical Black voices, especially after they are murdered by the state.

“Something is wrong with the economic system of our nation. Something is wrong with Capitalism. America must move toward a Democratic Socialism.” -Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr (Sept. 14, 1966)

MLK was a proud Black Christian Socialist who was loudly anti-capitalist.

He was fighting for racial equality, anti-imperialism, & universal guaranteed annual income when he was murdered by the United States government in 1968.

Cheap, minimally online if at all, doesn't spy on you, doesn't have subscriptions or micro transactions, won't be enshittified, you own it, reminds them of simpler times or childhood, modern pop culture is adversarial and alienating

Both Trump and Lindbergh’s grandfathers fled their homelands, a step ahead of law enforcement, a factual inconvenience that their grandsons never mentioned in their campaigns against others fleeing similar dire circumstances.

Hi. Hey. Hello.

Yeah.

Fascism. This is happening.

America. Can you... can you stop this please.

I once had a client a local prosecutor called a "career criminal."

Tbh, client had multiple arrests.

For stealing food.

Because otherwise they wouldn't eat at all.

Because they couldn't get a job because of previously being arrested for stealing food.

A society has the criminals it creates.

I loved watching this video!

A table titled "Table 6-35N" displaying observed proportions of carbon dioxide in air from 1886 to 1935. It includes columns for authority, location, date, number of observations, and mean CO2 concentrations in parts per million.

Before Dave Keeling started making systematic measurements of atmospheric CO₂ at Mauna Loa in 1958, there were only a few such measurements worldwide. We shouldn't take for granted that we can access real-time and historical environmental data from anywhere in the world.

this is the best single-image encapsulation of how modern conservatism works

3 panel comic by irregulargalaxydudes. A chicken asks, “How you doing, chief?” A giraffe replies, “Besides the ceaseless rage that our society is built on suffering, division and a ruling class of cold unfeeling sociopaths who will grind each and every one of us into dust to eke out a few pennies more to line their gilded vaults? I’m fine, how are you?” Chicken: “Same.”

Literally every convo I have these days.

Why does everything suck so much. When I was a kid I liked the idea of AI. I thought it would be cool if we invented it. Now they call these robots AI when they aren’t in fact AI, they are resource-intensive plagiarism machines, and then we MADE THE ROBOTS RACIST WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS DYSTOPIA

Paul Verhoeven

Starship Troopers (1997)

Director Paul Verhoeven: "Basically the political undercurrent of the film is that these heroes and heroines are living in a fascist utopia – but they are not even aware of it! They think this is normal. And somehow you are seduced to follow them, and at..."

This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read:

“I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”

According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.

I have not looked into this properly yet..... But it sounds like he's saying farm workers ICE seized will go back to the farms, but under a financial arrangement where the farmers will "own" them, and be "responsible for them most of the time". Didn't they have a Civil War about this stuff already?

More of this, please.

What's at stake if the Big "Beautiful" Abomination Bill passes.

The top 1% don't need their taxes lowered at the expense of the rest of us, who pay more taxes than billionaires. 💰😠

ICE-is agent at a workplace raid: “You guys understand we have a signed warrant to be here.”

Worker: “And here’s my bag of fucks.”

Indeed.

Age verification is deanonymization,
Deanonymization is censorship.

The Supreme Court is now taking away your right to anonymously *read* a form of speech. If speaking can mean that your readers have to subject themselves to potential consequences to read it, how can there be freedom of speech?

Remember: Data gathered for one purpose will inevitably be used for other purposes. Especially when that data is gathered by, or on behalf of, the government.

(linked post is a thread)

Also do notice, these two Supreme Court decisions dropped the *same day*:

- States can restrict online speech if it is "adult".
- The mere depiction of homosexual existence can be objectionable adult content.

To make our Hotel Room isotonic saline, you're going to need:

* Salt (non iodised if you can)
* bottled water

Step 1: Add a teaspoon of salt to 500ml of water.
Step 2: Shake till salt is dissolved.

Congratulations you've made isotonic saline!

Medics carry saline in these tiny little irrigation (means "washing") bottles. You pop the top off and squeeze and the saline squirt out.

This is important! If you're just pouring water out of a bottle, a lot of water comes out at low velocity, so most of the water slides off.

360 camera + long painter's pole = drone that doesn't need to fly, as long as you PAY THE FUCK ATTENTION to power lines
