Counting or not counting the drone violence?

On this day in 1855, the Puget Sound War begins, as a settler militia know as Eaton's Rangers, looking to arrest Nisqually chiefs, clashes with Nisqually warriors, with two of the militia members falling in battle. anticolonialhistory.com/event/127/

Speak on this. The Line Goddess (She Who Goes Up and Down) rarely concerns herself with smallfolk anymore. Her actions are growing meaningless to us.

Organized fandoms act as volunteer pinkertons, and while the creeps enforcing fascist visions are in actuality a tiny minority of most fandoms, loving a of particular franchise/character produces a political ambivalence that often leans towards compliance with corporate aims over artistic ones

In case people haven't heard yet, the 'centrist' opposition candidate to Netanyahu is literally THE Dahiya doctrine guy! 🫠 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dahiya_...

getting ready to see which supposed "progressive" "anti-genocide" voices suddenly celebrate the israeli elections when a different far right coalition that ran on netanyahu being too soft on palestine wins because i guess they are less close personally to trump or something.

Reflecting, and not having to see 'sensible' British moderates' opinions every day has done wonders for my mental. like at least 2.05 innate foundation enlightenment points gained passively by their absence.

crazy how just two years apart english actor oliver reed starred in propaganda films for both gaddafi and saddam (1981's lion of the desert and 1983's clash of loyalties, respectively). ok, one propaganda film for an arab dictator, could be just a paycheck, but two? was he just legit a pan-arabist?

kind of insidious that they still call modern military jets "fighters" as if the only thing they do now isnt bombing impoverished cities and towns. smokescreening violence as heroism by coasting on the myth of something jets havent actually done in 3/4 of a century

Israel votes today with polls showing it neck-and-neck between Netanyahu’s Far Right bloc and the mainly Hard Right opposition bloc. All but one of the leading Jewish parties have ruled out working with the Arab blocs.

Lion of the Desert (1981), dir. Moustapha Akkad

Often it feels like a precursor to Dune, although the Dune novels are older. The phrase Desert Power could have easily fit into this film and the Italians are made out to be colorfully evil, despite the few moral individuals among them.

Saw Moustapha Akkad's 1981 film Lion of the Desert, financed by Muammar Gaddafi and depicting the Libyan struggle for freedom against the colonial forces of Mussolini's Italy. It's a pretty interesting movie!

if you believe that russia is doing a genocide in ukraine than you just necessarily believe that every war the US has fought since 1945 was genocidal in intent. none of these liberals believe that for the record

okay but also we should do that

Call it what it is: a capital strike

The spell is called 'PENIS EXPLOSION' and not 'penis explosionS' because you only have one penis, one life; one explosion.😈

The people running twitter are trying to turn it into a mix of /r9k/ and reddit just to boost people nonstop posting about bs to artifically force constant app use, effectively killing the longevity of an artists posts

I think there needs to be vocabulary to distinguish between "fans" of the "Criticising the thing I like is a personal attack" kind and "fans" of the "I am picking apart every flaw of this thing I like and examining it from all angles" kind

Important. Gaza is starving. Funding for UN's World Food Programme has been cut, with major consequences like halving of food ration parcels they provide and their ability to support bakeries which help feed 300,000 people. youtu.be/6ofgwmHIqGs

For #TolkienTrewsday theme of "queens", we had to go with former Queen of Denmark Margrethe II, who once sent her own illustrations to Tolkien under the pseudonym Ingahild Grathmer, and got a praise from him. Her illustration, redrawn by Eric Fraser, appeared in the Danish version of LotR.

animation is so cool. what do you mean people can just do this youtu.be/LGPI9fmYGAU

and this is what a functioning state does. you try to do a coup or you try to steal an election and there are fucking consequences. you don't get to retire to your ranch and paint or go on to run again.

ICE has been active in Puerto Rico since Feb 2025, it was one of the initial rollouts and primary training areas. We've been screaming about this, the electricity crisis, and the water crisis the USA has subjected our people and island to, but no one in the USA listens. www.ap.org/news-highlig...

liberals are already trying to turn brazil's victory into proof that voting works, ignoring the fact that brazil succeeded because they had a charismatic, pro-trans, anti-genocide leftist to vote for and not limp dick moderates whose love of police brutality is second only to their love of genocide

[WARLORD CHOICE] Option 1: Let youngest sworn-sibling beat the corrupt official! Then surrender power peacefully. Option 2: After the youngest’s beating, let second sworn-sibling slay the corrupt official to avoid future problems! Show your might! Option 3: You beat the corrupt official yourself.
