Gonna pin @mommunism.bsky.social's resources for Gazans in English and Arabic to my profile for right now, because I seem to get 5-10 new Gazan followers every day right now. Hopefully y'all see this and get introduced to Molly and how to use Bluesky well!

people can get distracted by the fact it's AI generated or whatever all they like but my focus is on the three armed journalist they arrested and making sure she's OK

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

it has the usual reddit problems but it does serve as a great way to start training your brain to recognize the things AI likes to fuck up. for instance, it's gotten better at hands but will still fuck up background patterns and give people irises that aren't perfectly round

I really recommend browsing a reddit called "Is this AI?" for this purpose. people post questionable images and commenters weigh in on their validity, but are required to provide specifics as to their reasoning. once you start seeing the signs, it gets easier and easier over time

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

Telegram post from News 301 Arab World, translated from Hebrew:

The Iranian embassy in Caracas responded to the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to the opposition leader in Venezuela, Maria Corina Machado:

"Awarding the 'Peace' prize to someone who justifies the genocide in Gaza and calls for foreign military aggression against Venezuela is nothing but further evidence of the partisan mentality of the West and its interference in the affairs of developing countries. This choice is nothing but a mockery of the concept of peace."

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Of course I wouldn't expect a Zionist to believe any differently because none of y'all think Palestinians are humans.

"Virtue signalling" is the surest sign you are an unserious person.

Because no one could care that much without an agenda.

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

Close up of Pinkie Pie looking at a newspaper comic saying “Hmpf. I thought these were supposed to be funny?”

The comic is called Ponybert by Trot Adams. It opens with a building and we see a word balloon that says “Well?” The second panel is of Ponybert, the Dilbert stand-in saying “No one is smart but me.”

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

A 17-year-old watched as ICE arrested his immigrant father, Hector, on I-20 in June. The family faces mounting legal fees and the risk of deportation.

Meanwhile, at least two of those three are culturally irrelevant now. And I genuinely wonder if the Flintstones would still be around if not for the vitamins.
