If it took a white citizen being shot for you to begin to be outraged you might be a part of the problem

AI is going to save world by *checks notes* um taking people’s jobs, making computers more expensive, destroying the environment and making it easier to abuse women .. wait that can’t be right

Are you telling me that if masked men with guns jumped out of an unmarked car and ran at your car trying to get the door open you wouldn’t try to get the fuck out of there?

‘Buy American or we bomb you’ is simply an admission that free market capitalism doesn’t actually work - because it’s only supposed to work in our favour

To build a society worth having no one should ever have to be ‘thrown under the bus’ - except maybe bigots - if we really have to make it the bigots

People who say that we can’t afford to help those in need are essentially admitting that capitalism doesn’t work

The news that Trump put pressure on Israel to call a ceasefire puts paid to the lie that Joe or Kamala couldn’t do anything to stop the atrocities in the first place

Lots of great little cameos in the new @shaunvids.bsky.social video essay But the Jorbson Peterson one almost made me spill my beer youtu.be/tyU5Xkk6TuE

tonton - Lorne Michaels Wants to be in Your Band Live(ish) rehersal at Marsmoo, Matsumoto youtu.be/dpy40jzHsMw

Finally got got the band together for a rehearsal Time to book some live shows youtu.be/8oW9GPjgrG4

Just a reminder that the countries who fought the Nazis didn’t do it because they were opposed to their values but because they saw them as a threat to their own power Nazi atrocities were just a convenience allowing them to say ‘were the good guys’ Evil isn’t banal - it’s endemic to the species

When the “most moral army in the world™️” fire warning shots its because you walked into an active combat zone Conveniently the active combat zone is beside a food distribution site that they gave conflicting advice over Also warning shots always seem to be aimed at crowds of people

So Israel has been arming a gang of thugs that are stealing aid ‘under the watch of Israeli forces’ according to the UN If this is the most moral army in the world I might need to bring my moral compass to be fixed Turns our we’re supposed to encourage suffering no prevent it 🙄

I might have gone overboard on the misokin

Remember - whenever any corporation speak of values they are lying .. they only value one thing - line go up Even in a small company under the capitalist system turning a profit must always come first

As always migrant workers and asylum seekers are scapegoated instead of looking at the people doing the exploiting Care workers are being exploited by unscrupulous employers they said. The solution - ban foreign care workers. Genius

The new Labor party plans for immigration are tighter than Japan - a country that even white people claim is racist (to white people of course - the only racism that counts /s) Between this & Starmers u-turn on trans women being women I wonder if ‘spineless worm party’ might be a better name

Just cleared #theblueprince .. only took 62 in game days and 49 hours of real time play 😂 now i can enjoy some spoilers for all the stuff I’m pretty sure I missed If you haven’t played it turn off the internet until you have cleared it A spoiler free experience is sooo worth it

‘It’s not a victory for an increase in unpleasant actions against trans people’ says Kishwer Falkner as the British Transport Police annoumce that trans women (ie women) are to be strip-searched by male officers ‘We stand here to defend trans people’ she says as trans kids are banned from sports 😡

to be able to do what they’re doing right now to immigrants requires the support of a lot of people ICE, the police, the courts, college boards - decent people could have refused to enact racist legislation - but the opposite is true - they embrace it America hasn’t become awful - it always was

We’ll be playing at the Wong Kei Indie Rock Club this weekend at Sonic Matsumoto (Matsumoto, Nagano) from 11 First gig with the new line up!! Gonna be a blast #sonic-matsumoto #wong-kei #live-music

A lot of us get to a certain age and start to complain about the narcissism of the youth.. when the truth is that we are jealous of their ability to have the energy to rage against the dying of the light We only have the energy left to mildly complain, complain about the paying of the bills

A simple little setting that can not only make a huge difference to a lot of people but allows you to add a little context to image posts Do it!! Do it!!

If you really need evidence that by DEI they really mean POC www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Made a new friend today

i drew some amps for my band to share socials (well bluesky) and our bandcamp What legendary guitar or bass amp should I draw next?

Free speech absolutists be like : You can protest But just do it over there where I don’t have to see it And if you cause any disruption you should have your head caved in by a cop And if you are peaceful we will make sure the opposite is reported And if I disagree I will have you deported

If you like alt-rock you could do worse than give my band @tontonband.bsky.social a listen .. actually in these trying times you could do a lot worse

The people who complain loudest about cancel culture are openly celebrating the firing of someone for having pronouns in their email signature Any of course they don’t see the hypocrisy because for them it was never about treating people fairly only about getting their own way

Corporations never have been and never will be your allies Always ask yourself ‘what exactly are the values of the carphone warehouse?’ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Can we do a #TeslaTakedown to amazon, google and meta too? Maybe just call it the #ShitBiscuitTakedown or something Or #GetLuigi’d

This is never not relevant

The glee that some people show when you talk about others suffering is one thing What really scares me is the indifference to suffering that allows people to to see it as a minor inconvenience

The difference between @aljazeera.com on Gaza and western news is stark How can there be any honest discussion of the ‘ceasefire’ without mentioning Israels daily raids and bombing in the West Bank or their continued blocking of aid? And yet the framing is always ‘but can we trust Hamas?’

If anyone reads the statements coming from Israeli government officials since Trump’s ‘Riviera of the Middle East’ statement is still convinced that Israel is acting in ‘self defense’ please take a hard look in the mirror - that is if you can remove your head from your ass first

Everyone who complained about the left being Orwellian If you are not currently rioting about this then you are at least choking on your copy of 1984 right now right?

This kid is only 8 years old At 8 I was pretending to be a ghostbuster The future may be fucked but at least we’ll have good drummers

When people say ‘cope harder’ they think it’s some kind of win in the face of heartless, insensitive shit goblins devoid of empathy and caring so little about others that they would fuck them over clicks - yeah i’m doing the best I can to cope while you my friend can fuck right the fuck off and die

Fucking heartbreaking Seriously - fix your heart or die

Tell me again how western values are the most enlightened and moral values ever conceived by man

If this is true it speaks volumes to the disdain politicians have for their electorate

if you are gonna blame your average voter - even your average MAGA voter for how things have become so bad .. think about the furthest place you can fuck off to and then fuck off past that to the place beyond where anyone has ever fucked off to before people are not to blame for a broken system

The perfect movie doesn’t exist.. David Lynch: hold my coffee

Trump’s proposal to ethnically cleanse the Gaza strip would not be possible without the support Israel received from so called progressives since forever Before you say Trump bad you might want to invest in glass for your glass house

now live with day 2! shares appreciated, link to campaign in reply VVV

The same people who thought having to wear a mask was inhumane are now praising El Salvador’s prison system Who would have thunk it

For all the people still crying over Harris’ loss this is worth a read To most of the world Trump is not so different to anything that came before - he’s just doing things more brazenly Democrats are not really worried about his criminality - he’s worried he makes America look bad

There’s a whole bunch of people who threw trans people under the bus because instead of accepting that large corporations might make some shitty movies they would rather believe there’s a conspiracy to take away their freedom Something something babies and bath water

Tech bros thinking if we throw money (and climate damaging resources) at AI we will be rewarded with answers to all our problems is no different from sacrificing chickens to the gods in the hope that it will stop a famine It’s magical thinking at it’s worst

Funny how the “we’re just concerned about women’s sports” crowd are very silent about all the horrifyingly transphobic EOs coming out of the White House
