this is good advice. this includes things like quote dunking and sharing screenshots. we don't need to engage with any of these jackasses at all, and angrily boosting them helps literally no one

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

We must expect that Meta's interference is happening in other elections around the world *right now*. This isn't just a one-off. Meta has proved repeatedly they are committed to advancing far-right agendas worldwide, are serial liars, and are flagrantly indifferent to the dismantling of democracies.

You are all in jail. Each alone, solitary, with a heap of what he owns. You live in prison, die in prison. It is all I can see in your eyes – the walls, the walls!

Interesting that Elon Musk paid a cool $1 billion to gain an ownership stake in Skydance (CBS, CNN, Warner Bros, Paramount, etc.) but only a little less than $500 million to become the largest political donor of all time. The entire GOP was half the price of most of Hollywood and we're just watching

So the same month that Elon Musk throttled Starlink to run his own military policy, he's also seeking more control over your flow of information. Musk and the Ellisons will control CNN and CBS for news; HBO, Warner Bros, Paramount & more for entertainment; Twitter (X) and TikTok for social media.

hang on, so Bleecker Street was sold to a Pierre Omidyar-backed group that also happens to back Tosca Musk's Passionflix... and now "MUSK" is disappearing from theaters?

Therapist: I think we need to work on shame Me: Brilliant, what do we do about it T: Well when shame tells you not to do something... M: uh huh T: Just do it! M: okay T: And when it tells you to do something... M: no no, I get it, I'm paying you like $150 for this right? T: Very reasonable price!

I'm the most anti-AI guy I know and even I'm willing to accept using ai in pre-development now if everything is replaced in the final product. Really makes me feel what I felt in the Horse Armor DLC days but things have only gotten worse and more predatory since

Been reading Calvin and Hobbes for the first time lately (I know, I know… I was more of a Garfield kid..), and absolutely loving it, so I drew this for fun! 11”x17” ink on paper #calvinandhobbes #inktober #spacemanspiff #comics #readcomics

Nobody knew what Digger was about because there's a huge twist like fifteen minutes in. And advertising the actual premise would have made the numbers even worse

Nothing quite sums up the abhorrent violence inherent in the state (anywhere, everywhere in the world) than a video of the cops tear gassing an orchestra playing music at the Place de la Republique in France yesterday

This is -- again -- the *exact same game* we played with abortion, wherein we all had to vote for candidates who were just a teeeeeeensy bit anti-abortion because Republicans would overturn Roe v. Wade. They overturned Roe v. Wade AND gutted state-level abortion access. That's how that plan works.

look if shit is so dire for the democrats that they NEED every vote from trans people, maybe they shouldn't run candidates who are transphobic or fold on even the slightest pushback to trans rights it's not our fault y'all's guys suck

Wow, go see it if it's still playing near you and you have a strong stomach. Wow.
