this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

either the YT algorithm really is screwed, or this video was poorly packaged, but I think it's very good so check it out if you haven't seen it yet.

Second released flotilla activist confirms Israel beat Greta Thunberg

The rogue Zionist state's violence and humiliation of an activist like Greta Thunberg, known worldwide, can only backfire on it

The puss in boots movie is 100%. The animation alone is like wooooaaah. I also loved the Jiminey Cricket comic relief. He’s just hilarious

terrible things are happening outside. poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. families are torn apart. men, women, and children are separated. children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.

But I miss when cable tv had shows and channels with kid and adult content. Nowadays it feels like something like Steve Irwin or other shows on animal planet would never be on a “kids” profile on Disney or HBO or something bc nature shows and docs are for “adults”

Cheyenne Lin @cheyennelin.bsky.social · 5d

I remember as a kid loving finding out about animal planet and Steve Irwin from cable. I don’t think kids get that nowadays with curated series on streaming run by an algorithm but at least there’s still nature docs on National Geographic.

Some parents are letting their kids talk to ChatGPT in the guise of characters. Some are using it to tell bedtime stories or create coloring books.

"My son thinks ChatGPT is the coolest train loving person in the world. The bar is set so high now I am never going to be able to compete with that.”

‘My son genuinely believed it was real’: Parents are letting little kids play with AI. Are they wrong?

Some believe AI can spark their child’s imagination through personalized stories and generative images. Scientists are wary of its affect on creativity

I don’t understand how we as a species are going to be able to exist in a world where we can’t tell what’s real or not, and even worse where we the people are powerless to stop it from happening.

A lot of their hate is based on imaginary enemies to justify violence. It makes me so sad and angry when real human traffickers sit in the White House, but ICE and govt agents say they’re the good guys tracking down crime on the street. Like what?

Cheyenne Lin @cheyennelin.bsky.social · 6d

I can’t believe there’s people out there that really think the country is being infiltrated by supposed gang members and that there’s like this huge secret threat against the populace. If that was real wouldn’t we know more about it?

I personally really like my poster for the materialists bc the actual posters for the movie felt so bleh
