Gorgeous eyes on Aces. I'm sure the colour helps him detect any traces of chicken.

Or use the German "Antifaschistische" as I'm sure some will think German = good guys, given how much they have been pulling from the 1930/1940s propaganda.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I am so incredibly thankful my cats don't climb the curtains. You must have to replace them pretty regularly. Do they make Kevlar curtains?

I'm lucky that all my cats do are scratch the couch to get our attention (and knock stuff off my bedside table 5AM to wake me up for food).

Heartbreaking reading, but this Reddit thread gives a sense of the relentlessness of the horror inflicted by ICE, and the damage being done to so many innocent people that doesn't make the news.

I am so sick of all these podcast bros and comedians who were so pro-Trump they helped usher in this current regime. It was clear what was going to happen, and none of them (AFAIK) have accepted their complicity and apologised. They wanted this, only now they are shown the reality of their desires

Tim Dillon: "Children being zip tied, or a grandmother being zip tied, people who've maybe lived in a community 30 years and they're not committing a crime...showing up to a high school graduation and deporting someone's father, seems to a lot of people to be inhumane."

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

Outstanding. It's one of the issues with the list function, IMO.

@dropkickmurphys.com are one of the VERY few punks actually being punk by speaking out against the establishment & standing up for the working class. Joe Strummer would be proud. Wear their new merch at the upcoming No Kings march.

I grew up with them.

"The machine" = their dad wouldn't buy them a Ford Ranger as their first vehicle.

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 14h

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

Why did you add me to your blocklist?

AlanShares @alanshares.bsky.social · 23h

Also, if you block the original poster of the AI video, don't be surprised if you get added to a blocklist accordingly. I did, and next second got tagged as an anti-semite 🤷‍♂️

Antarctica may have passed a climate tipping point of no return, scientists are warning, with mounting evidence that a sudden slump in sea ice formation since 2016 is linked to human-induced ocean warming.

Antarctica may have crossed a tipping point that leads to rising seas

Scientists are beginning to understand the sudden loss of sea ice in Antarctica – and there is growing evidence that it represents a permanent shift with potentially catastrophic consequences

While there's 3 chances unions will take action, there remains a lotta unionists who don't like racism & fascism v much, & are keen to address those dragging their unions' names thru the mud. So keep an eye out for wankers wearing merch & if you can, get fotos. 🙏

There is no joy in Tiktok, but this is also an example of why the Republicans wanted TikTok banned until they got in power. It's an incredibly powerful tool to foster a narrative and manufacture consent and opinion.

Prem Thakker ツ @premthakker.bsky.social · 1d

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
