Scenes from the aftermath of Russia's ballistic missile strike on a university campus in Kyiv. Five students and staff were injured. That was no military target anywhere nearby. Russia's goal was to cripple the school, kill students and staff, and terrorize civilians.

This is *great*!

the markets have essentially become a gauge for how much corruption the government in power is going to let the business class get away with

Goes hard as fuck.

Gisteren stelden we géén kritische vraag aan NOS-hoofdredacteur Giselle van Cann, want Natasja Gibbs, @fgeerdink.bsky.social en @esmit-thefirewall.eurosky.social maaiden ons het gras voor de voeten vandaan.🔥 Wat bewijst dat XR kan zwijgen als extra ophef onnodig is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=61Gn...

Next: vrouwen plegen 'bedroevend weinig' moorden.

theres a few exceptions like the race where the republican is running on the platform that their opponent was raped as a child but for the most part they are just running on being the party of white people

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

In de woorden van Sinéad O’Connor; fight the real enemy.

Nog even over die Quote 500: die doneert massaal aan extreemrechts. En aan rechts. Sommige partijen hadden waarschijnlijk niet eens bestaan zonder de geldimpulsen van superrijken. Het amper leden tellende 50plus werd voor tonnen gespekt door Quotelid Chris Thünnessen. jacobin.nl/wie-kocht-de...

"Addressing the climate crisis is really easy. Control the richest, curb their power, curb their emissions, and also tax their wealth."

It's a revenue model.

Vandaag is het Intersex Awareness Day. 80 à 190 duizend mensen in Nederland hebben een intersekse-ervaring, met een lichaam dat niet binnen het normatieve kader van een man of vrouw valt. Zoals Marieke en Sharan. Zij maakten er de documentaire 'Kiezen, snijden, zwijgen' over. Kijk via vpro.nl/ksz

So the women in the first photo were indeed "dressed like witches", because their (now ceremonial) uniform was established around the same era witches were put on trial in New England. The truth is: witches are CREATED out of respectable older women by accusation & this is what they wore.

A large number of military and police dogs have been sent to Israel by the Netherlands

I spent all day writing the thread in my head about how Bolsonaro's win was the culmination of a 20-year project to end Brazilian democracy, with the participation of both domestic elites and foreign actors like the US state department and Meta. This is all true, of course, except he didn't win.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

lmao tim sweeney is tweeting himself into sabotaging his own marketplace

I stopped checking social media and posting all the time, and you know what? You guessed it. My life didn't get better at all.

Het is natuurlijk ook een teken van enorme privilege dat hij het abstracte, namelijk het betalen van de staatsschulden aan die investeringsmaatschappijen, belangrijker vindt dan dat mensen mogen genieten van hun pensioen of uitkeringen hebben die hoog genoeg zijn om comfortabel te leven.

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

RSW is a mean pick in the best way: it's one long chain of squarings, so spinning up more agents or GPUs buys nothing. Rivest sized his LCS35 puzzle in 1999 to take about 35 years, and a programmer solved it in 2019 after 3 years and 3 months of computing

Something I wish more people would realize.

Yeah, sorry but not sorry. I see enough of assholes like Musk and Trump every day and I’m sure as hell not going to suffer four more hour looking at their face and listening to their voice to learn what I already know.

The idea of the AI developer as someone burgeoning with wonderful, never before seen ideas who just needed the tools to realize them is by and large a fantasy. The reality of the AI developer is someone producing spam at volume who has no ideas of their own, so just clone something popular.

It always comes back to this for me; if AI was so good, such a disclosure would be a selling point. If AI was everything these slop jockeys said it was, they should be proud to let people know their game was AI made. But the proof is in the pudding, and they can't stand that people don't want it.

I want a blue wave that excludes every one of these craven, bigoted motherfuckers.

Sorry man this guy’s gotta lose I don’t care who the fuck he’s running against. If these loudly anti-trans Dems don’t lose, it’s going to take us thirty years to get back the rights we’ve lost in the past five.

Couldn't resist making my own version

You can't beat fascism by agreeing with fascism. You can't beat fascists by accepting a fascist frame. Corporatist Democratic Party leadership needs to be defeated and jettisoned. We have to fight them, not because we don't want to fight Republicans, but because they refuse to.

Elon Musk spreads disinformation about Ukraine after being exposed for sabotaging military operations by the WSJ. The US tax funded billionaire, Trump's largest donor, (backed by Israel and Russia); tied to the deaths of thousands of children due to USAid cuts, blames Ukraine for not surrendering.

I don't want to be forced to disclose what I put in my burgers bc making them with rat meat is so much better for my bottom line as a small food business

i don't care how jk rowling is justifying her murderous bigotry today actually. over 600 transgender ppl have died in the uk in the last 18 months bcos of policies she demanded the british government implement. she is a monster. i don't care how much you like harry potter.

‘You nearly got me say ‘billionaires’… haha… No. Immigrants.’

Charli XCX is such a nerd (complimentary).

Mark Rutte was altijd een verrader.

Our prime minister was in a shell uniform a while ago. It’s all the rage with politicians these days.

The past four panels hit extremely hard.

swing voters who decide elections swing between voting or the couch, NOT parties. theres so much research on this.

I don't love AOC on every issue, but she is so much better on AI than almost all of her fellow electeds. Bernie Sanders, for example, has totally been bamboozled by the "AI safety" cultists.
