Bondi Beach massacre narratives :

The Sun (UK) "REGIME OF TERROR: Bondi terror attack ‘orchestrated by IRAN’ – as Sydney Muslim cemetery desecrated with pig heads in sick act of revenge "

The Independent (UK) '[Australian PM] Albanese said the pair of shooters acted as ISIS-inspired lone agents.'

Popular person on here @prisonculture just blocked me because I pointed out how when they say about how many police other people on here, and that you should just feel free to post and share what you want because it is a public platform - they also tell people to not quote or screenshot their posts.
Jests always have some truth in them, eh?

That is sometimes the way to get through the censors.

Can't reply to Alice, but my first question would be to question whether Hamas did indeed release such a statement.

There is a disinfo problem known to be impacting these platforms. And there's a curious lack of search results when looking at official news sources for reports on a Hamas statement.

Just looking over something we wrote ~15 years ago:

"It is important to bear in mind that in much of the world the Great Depression did not lead to socialism or even social democracy, but rather to fascism in much of Western Europe and the consolidation of Stalinism in the Soviet Union"

"We're trying to make the point that [this authoritarian / fascist regime] doesn't know how to tell the difference between the good guys and the bad guys"

Sure they don't. It must just be incompetence.

Facepalm emoji.
Magaziner: We’re trying to make the point that the Trump administration—Kristi Noem, Donald Trump—doesn’t know how to tell the difference between the good guys and the bad guys.

If there are people here who are violent criminals, get them out. But that’s not what the Trump administration is doing.

Tucker Carlson platforms @franceskalbs.bsky.social, UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, and he's given credit in Palestine solidarity movement for his recent work exposing how governments and media support Israel.

But 2 months go, he platforms Nick Fuentes. What to do?

Just Women’s Sports dropped a 🔥 throwback of A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart from 12 years ago. This was when they were playing with the U19 USA team in Lithuania, sharing a room and hanging out by the Baltic Sea. Legends then, legends now. All I see is RINGS!!! #GOATs #MVPs #WNBA 👑🏀

I'm not a Poilievre fan, at all, but I heard some of his speech from the Parliamentary Press Gallery Dinner, and I was like, wow he could actually win like this.

He did his speech right after his This Hour Has 22 Minutes impersonator, wearing the same outfit, and was even self-effacing and funny(!)
Another one bites the dust.
I heard Pierre Poilievre on TV yesterday ranting about the carbon tax.
It was the same smarmy voice repeating the same dumbed down slogans.
Meanwhile Canada is facing the threat of the Trump doctrine.
No wonder this idiot is losing ground

If you can see the Facebook feed, Facebook can see you.

If you go with DuckDuckGo, they block the Facebook feed so Facebook can't track your activity.

If you go with Google, not only does Facebook get to track you, so does Google.

This is #MediaLiteracy basics these days, but are people literate?

From my school experience, in Canada we don't learn that the Communists were a major part of beating the Nazis in WW2.

Maybe the politicians didn't know either, when they decided to build a monument in Ottawa for the Nazi "victims" of Communism? Ignorance is probably their best excuse at this point
"The controversial Victims of Communism memorial in downtown Ottawa will no longer feature the names of specific individuals after federal officials determined a significant number could be linked to the Nazis."

Well yea lol no shit
Government retreats on Victims of Communism memorial names in aftermath of Nazi controversy
Names of alleged Nazi collaborators will no longer be featured on Victims of Communism memorial in Ottawa.

CHUO Board of Directors - who aren't answering media questions - seem to be in large part responsible for the station's unnecessary closure.

They weren't communicative with station volunteers, didn't allow for real opportunity to address the large funding loss.

Interview www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...
Sad news just announced :(

I'm not really sure who it was at this point willing to allow it to die, the UO student fee funding got pulled a year and a half ago based on a very low turnout referendum. There didn't seem to be any new plan made since then, nor a large effort at a fundraising campaign.

The "killed nonviolently" part of it got me stuck.

I think the words for that is "oxymoron" - two words together that don't work together.

I legit thought this was like, "Victims of Gandhi's non-violence campaign" or something... but I think I understand and agree with the principle at the heart.
I don't have the words for it, but we have to start caring more about people who are killed nonviolently. Mass shootings and bombings and stuff can't be the only ones that matter.

All a politician needs to do is promise they'll do something, and they can get the votes.

Trudeau promised he'd reform Canadian elections and then won three elections. all of which were under the non-reformed system since it was working so well for him.
I'm so frustrated by the Notwithstanding Clause that I'd vote for the first politician who promised to do away with it. I'd almost even consider voting for Poilievre if I thought he could have it removed.

"Flood the zone with bullshit" is not simply a saying.

And you can probably make a good guess about how many of "they" are authentic accounts. #SatanicHighPriestess #ChildTrafficking

They finally did it. They're actually hating on Dolly Fucking Parton now.

Amid recent reports about the uOttawa's campus community radio station, CHUO, and its uncertain future, we are reminded of a simple truth: when local media vanishes, we all lose.

If you challenge the genocide of Gaza, this is what you are up against:

'Antisemitism' narratives that say Musk doing Nazi salutes and supporting the far-right aren't anything to be concerned about - but that you are “facilitating deranged and murderous Jew-hatred” by opposing Israel's atrocities

The market forces on individuals when the industry shifts to being very individual-centric

It makes me wonder how similar it is, fundamentally, to the shift from taxis to uber: gig workers with way more precarity and fewer earning living wage, but it's celebrated as new, modern, convenient & better
When I criticize the Liberal government in any way at all, no matter how reasonable, my free and paid subscribers on Substack go down. This dynamic creates a perverse incentive, which I refuse to give in to.

But this is a major problem.
