Notice how while ICE arrests people without a warrant, invades homes without a warrant, and disappears people into death camps—the NRA is nowhere to be found. Know why? Because the NRA was never about firearm protection, they were always about white supremacy protection.

As long as ICE is attacking mostly Black and brown people, NRA isn’t bothered, they’re pleased.

LAPD shot my finger with a rubber bullet, I was wearing motorcycle gloves with padding but no armor in the fingers. Just got out of seeing an orthopedist, the bone is badly fractured and I very nearly had to have the tip amputated. If I had no gloves it would have been gone. Please add padded or armored gloves to your safety gear.

@ildiavolorosso @SrRochardBunson source for this claim? He looks vaguely like him but other than that I'm not sure

This is long but very entertaining:

Any computer can be a server if it is insufficiently secure.

No matter how annoying a bug may be, never assume upstream actually knows about it unless there's already a report. If you want a bug to be fixed, go and report it, otherwise it's very possible you're going to be seeing that bug 10 years from now

Nothing says 'great economic strategy' like the market surging the second you're legally not allowed to implement it.

Many years ago, my friend in Portland literally bumped into the Dalai Lama. She stumbled into him, looked up, and stammered a wide-eyed apology. He laughed and said, "You may be at peace, child."

She was stunned, of course.

Today I talked to a Scottish guy in the grocery store who said F*CK IT YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE when I told him I really wanted the Reece's Pieces cookie mix but can't have it.

Same energy.

Let your freak flag fly on the #Fedi

(Reuters) - FEMA staff left baffled after the disaster agency’s head said during a briefing that he hadn’t been aware the US has a hurricane season. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/fema-staff-confused-after-head-said-he-was-unaware-us-hurricane-season-sources-2025-06-02/

I'm disassociating from the horrors in Gaza.

A nation that lures starving people to a fake aid station and then picks them off by sniper, one by one, should be a pariah state.

And so should the country arming them.

#Texas is controlled by revanchist evangelical neo-nazis, the governor legalized murder there as long as the murderer is a neo-nazi, a rolling Klan rally in 2020 forced a Democratic Party campaign bus off the interstate with the assistance of local cops and exactly zero people were prosecuted or in any way held accountable for it, and cops didn't do jack shit about a two-year terror campaign that led to Jonathan Joss's murder because, in Texas, absolute fucking horror is legal and encouraged.

This is my PhD thesis

I did not ask for this

I did not consent to this

I did not approve of this

I was not compensated for this

I would not have advised this

I do not like this

And worst of all, the number of people who've read my thesis has still not increased.

As the saying goes, those who don't remember our history are doomed to repeat it. That's what inspired Martin Mycielski to compile what came to be known as the Authoritarian Regime Survival Guide for unsuspecting Americans at the onset of Trump's first term. And now, months into Trump 2.0, perhaps it's time—or past time—to dust it off once again. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-2025-authoritarian-regime-survival

Have you seen this new application? It's written in N. It literally uses Cerium. It's on Squernix with Wine. It's literally written with Zark. You can probably install it with Woo. Dude it's built on Birdnest. It's a Garkle exclusive. It's for Borp. You can run it on Borp. You can boot up Borp and run it. Log onto Borp right now. Switch to Borp. Dive into Borp. You can Borp it. It runs on Borp. Borp runs it for you. Borp runs it for you.

Oops, I forgot to have generational wealth again

My neighbour just sent me this pic. She said she saw it on Bathurst (the street they want to remove parking for a dedicated transit lane).

Totally made my day

@QasimRashid lol now we're saying "judeo-christian" values? That word wasn't even invented when the country was founded.

“Are you ever going to stop masking?”

People ask this with disdain, as though they can’t comprehend how someone could *still* be masking in 2025

I like not being sick. If I had known how effective N95s were, I would have worn them before!

As long as society stays in denial, masking is necessary.
