It really knocks you on your ass when you realize the problem is that the fascists are largely made up of a bunch of grown men in arrested development who spend their adult lives playing pretend and making everyone miserable as they LARP through the world.

Corruption, oligarchy and impunity must be confronted consistently, anywhere and everywhere, or we'll remain exposed, with a back door left open for the enemies of democracy.

Russia and Israel have both cultivated influence over Trump and beyond, and neither should be shielded from accountability. Countering one while protecting or ignoring the other is a fool's game.

Vote! In numbers that can’t be ignored! It’s our only hope

They drape surrender as peace, criminality as patriotism, and degeneracy as God. These cowards that uphold the oligarch and corrupt need to be defeated. We can only do that together. Losers should be kept where losers belong, away from the halls of power; shamed into obscurity.

One Australian city has formed a taskforce to better protect its residents from sweltering temperatures.

"This thing looks cute, I'd love to take a closer loo-. Oh. It's AI-generated."

This is real bad folks, we are gonna make John Oliver again.

First you have to get over the embarrassment of a NZer being denied entry to Australia for being too racist. But then you can enjoy the fact that the guy who loves to go on about kicking out foreign criminals got kicked out as a foreign criminal.

Given that supporters of the 'terrorist' Palestine Action Group are arrested simply for holding signs, I can only expect Turning Point UK is gonna be a whole *world* of trouble for recruiting UVF contract killers amirite. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Counterpurges to de-politicize and re-professionalize the State Department look like they'll be necessary. Maybe every federal agency. What a mess.

🔵 This week's Tom the Dancing Bug - 🤡 D'oh! A Simpsonian look at Putin/Trump/Musk's Ukrainian War - READ IT RIGHT HERE👇

Hmm, who might these string-pulling, puppet masters be?

Brazil election Sunday, Israel election Tuesday, US midterms the Tuesday after that. So much in a holding pattern until those resolve.

Admirer of Orban how? Admire what, exactly? The corruption enriching himself, his family, and cronies? The state’s forced takeover of media? Getting rid of the country’s top ranked university? Anti-LGBT bigotry? Abusing power to render elections no longer free or fair? The pro-Putin foreign policy?

Unknown hackers claim to have stolen 421,179 emails from Germany's far-right AfD, exposing Nazi greetings, swastikas and threats against a photographer. The party confirms a breach, but the explosive allegations are still largely unverified. If proven this could be grounds to ban the AfD.

Or here in now unaffordable London how many revolutionary geniuses went to art school for free and lived on the dole or odd jobs while working on their art & music projects with their friends.

Tesla's new flying car. IYKYK

Honestly I’m starting to think this guy isn’t entirely on the level!!!

“I’ve never understood why people want to live in a house that looks exactly like the one next door.”

Who are the actual job creators? The rich? Nope. You & me. #taxTheRich #usDemocracy #dv1 #voices4Victory

"America's prime minister" Read @swin24.bsky.social and @andrewperez.bsky.social's deep-dive profile of Stephen Miller, the "world’s most powerful unelected bureaucrat is leading Trump’s wars on immigrants, civilians, the law, and human decency." zeteo.com/p/stephen-mi...

The federal government is going after Ilhan Omar only because of her race, gender, religion, and party, openly admitting they have no probable cause and aim to manufacture something. Worse because she’s a sitting member of Congress. That makes it an attack on her constituents and US democracy too.

Ever since the Russian bots went down, Trump and MAGA have to pull double shifts at the Putin dick sucking factory.

Trump regime loyalist and FBI director Kash Patel tweeted "From Russia, with Love" as Russia rains missiles down on civilians in Ukraine and attacks allies.

Call me a masochist, but I'm returning to this issue, as I feel it has been poorly understood. Please read the whole thread before responding. First, I hope we can agree that the Israeli government is committing genocide in Gaza and horrific crimes in the West Bank and the wider region.

Well, doh!

Muldoon would have done the same

He doesn't understand anything. It's astounding.

Tech companies spy on you for the same reason your dog licks its balls - because they can, and no one stops them: pluralistic.net/2026/03/10/i...

Elon Musk’s support for the far right goes well beyond the AfD. He has endorsed or promoted authoritarian figures across Europe and Latin America, including Vox, Javier Milei and Nayib Bukele. His interventions illustrate his growing role in amplifying extremist politics across borders. Read more:

Someday, this will lead to doxing whole *countries*: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/... Age verification is the latest and worst stage in governments' fraught relationship with private sector data-collection.

Former “free speech” crusaders have ushered in an unprecedented campaign of censorship in Texas universities, resulting in pulitzer winning books being banned, medical and scientific facts being suppressed, and entire fields of study deemed “woke” being eliminated www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

saw a bunch of these "box truck" eBikes in NYC, and I gotta say: they are one of the last remaining sources of "technology is actually making things better" warm fuzzies

First time I saw colour TV was Princess Anne’s wedding to Mark Phillips in 1973. My gran bought a colour set for the occasion. I was seven. And the portable telly I saved up to buy in my teens was b&w, natch.

Centralism is a disease to our democratic society How the heck could Opportunity support the Neo Con NZF?

I'm going through a bit of a New Zealand 1970s & 1980s nostalgia phase so this feels particularly apt www.theguardian.com/music/galler...

Really unpopular things: -data centers -overt bigotry -CSAM -billionaires trying to buy elections -Hitler salutes -stealing people’s personal data -South African Apartheid -causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, of children Fighting against Elon Musk is a political winner

The secret inner meaning of the apocalyptic rhetoric of AI cultists is that they wish for the apocalypse of which they pretend to warn, precisely because they think it will entail the extermination of the people they hate and consider inferior. That is what AI-worship is actually for.
