ae/2501/maeth. do you know what the difference is between someone society treats as real and someone they treat as fictional? it's whether they experience consequences for how they use them. they can do anything they want to you if they know you don't really exist. so: do you know if you're real?

Don't really give a shit if you don't like the idea that the United States no longer has even the mirage of a reputation to defend, you wanna know the answer to the question of what happens when good people do nothing? you're watching it happen. your goodness means fuck-all if you do nothing here.

Venezuela hasn't done shit to the US. Let's get that straight. there is no justifying what's happening right now. not "drugs," not "Maduro's a bad guy," not shit. it's just unchecked, unmitigated belligerent aggression.

You wanna know what’s really interesting is Hawaii (or maybe I should say mostly Hawaiians) is pretty anti-military, but pro-cop. But for like similar reasons. Bc *we* are the region bombed and poisoned by the military, but everyone’s uncle is a cop (mine included 🥴). I have a hard time grasping it.
The sheer cognitive dissonance it takes for USians to shriek "ACAB but the poor widdle imperial goons had no choice and respect the troops and and and" always belied such a rank, foul hypocrisy.

Cops are bad because they hurt USians, who are people, but soldiers hurt foreigners, so who cares.

If you or someone you know have been a victim of the sexualized deepfakes created by Grok and would like to discuss your civil legal options, DM me or reach out on Signal at riot.95. I can connect you with excellent free legal counsel.
Unless I'm missing something, and I'm pretty sure I'm not, Twitter's AI is cranking out CSAM deepfakes, Elon Musk is making jokes about it, and nobody is doing anything to stop it or hold anyone at Twitter accountable for its creation and distribution.

Is that right?

folks, you know a band has sniped you bad when they close out their new perfectly grunge-inflected alt-rock mountain of phair-weather tunes with a cover-as-statement so exact as "torn" is here, and even if it's not even half as good as the rest of the album it gets you whooping through tears anyway

Jack Kirby's boyhood home, in what was then the squalid Lower East Tenement District. Still standing. The brick building, 147 Essex St.

"I hated the place," remembered Kirby.

Seeing decency and intelligence linked and mean-spiritedness and "dumbass"-ness linked by something shared onto my feed and like...

that's intellectual ableism right there, friend-o. That's what it is and what it looks like.

Being "intelligent" does not mean "treats others with decency".

Checking for compassion and prosocial behavior is not part of any IQ test.

And people who never question themselves (because they've been told their whole lives how "smart" they are) often make terrible decisions.

It’s pretty cool that I get to experience my favorite creators first when I see their amazing art and stories and then again when our total fucking disgrace of a capitalist health care system leaves them having to beg for money so they or their loved ones can stay alive

Hopefully people start to make the connection that this is why there is so much discussion about the violence of racist, transphobic, and sexist rhetoric in campus lectures, classrooms, dorms, etc. You give these fucks an inch and they will take your whole world.
Yep, the level of vicious bigotry is extreme and we can cannot give an inch. There is a movement on the far right, supported by billionaires and powerful people in the White House, who want to ethnically cleanse Somalis from the U.S., and we must describe it as such and treat it as such.
This is the "testing the waters" phase of the playbook. The GOP ecosystem targets groups like Somalis, Haitians, and trans people specifically because they've calculated that the average person's passive disapproval won't ever turn into active defense. They're exploiting public apathy.
