I guess it's called "corruption." I've never heard that before. I said wow what a beautiful word. It comes from the Latin [spicy voice] corrumpere. But it's something we're doing and we'll be doing it perhaps more than ever before

one thing thats kinda crazy to get your head around is not that the musk and thiel masters of the universe are ungrateful for the vast public infrastructure, public funding of research, and robust systems of laws and rules that made their wealth possible. it's that theyre too dumb to understand it

This deserves a #SignalBoost. I don’t use TikTok so I would never have been aware of this, but the implications are genuinely chilling, especially now with US owners. The choice to portray an AI black woman in a silk bonnet for *authenticity* is all I need to see to know this is nefarious as hell.

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

ART FACT: Yayoi Kusama's common pumpkin motif represents a symbolic self-portrait or alter ego for the Japanese artist. Her obsession with the pumkin began in her early years when her parents ran a seed farm #Womensart

So peaceful. 😍 When I went for my walk this afternoon, it was overtaken by *many hundreds* of elementary school cross-country athletes from all over the city and their parents. Look at all those plucky little strivers… that’s barely a glimpse of their full contingent! And what a stunning day for it!

Image of Vancouver’s Trout Lake park on a sunny autumn day. There is grass and signage in the foreground, and in the background, a large group of diversely uniformed elementary school track and field athletes are running in a cross-country race and are flanked by tall trees showing their fall colours.

We love our Kings don't we folks? Jesus, he was a king, maybe the best king, am I a king? The media is saying it so much I don't know maybe it's true. A lot of Christians are saying Christ is king Christ is king but he was never President, elected 3 times they cheated the second one but it was three

It's funny, the no kings protests could be the best chace to normalize the idea of nationwide strikes in the US, if the organizers are serious. They do maybe 2 more on weekends to really lock them into people's practice, then say, "hey, let's show them we really mean business & do it on a Wednesday"

Like, this is pure absurdist protest, and it’s utterly glorious. For all its bitches, shittiness and fuckery, this timeline does also have its moments. Well done, PDX... you never disappoint.

Rare to feel even remotely ahead of any zeitgeist these days, but having been mutuals with @frogeveryday.bsky.social for several months now, I concur that whether real or inflatable, these little dudes just never stop being fun to see. Excellent work across the board, frogfolk. We stan. 🐸💚

We’re in the middle of a nationwide frog costume supply chain crisis. Thanks, Trump.

A demonstrator wearing a bright green inflatable frog costume at a packed No Kings rally in Washington, DC. The frog has red eyes, is wearing a blue neckerchief, and is holding an American flag. A little bit of a person's face is sticking out the clear window of the costume.

A person in an inflatable frog costume stands on a rectangular, cement flower pot above a crowd of #NoKings protesters. The frog is covered in decorative black spots and is wearing a blue bandana. Nearby, two people wearing seahorse costumes, one pink and one purple, stand next to each other holding hands while other people mill around them.

For those old enough to remember the powerful visual message that was the AIDS quilt, this is an excellent choice of things to bear the weight of en masse. Gotta give big props to this extremely on-message use of big props. If you want to keep a republic, everyone needs a firm grip on this bad boy.

And don’t forget… you can have empathy for what got them on this path and STILL think they all deserve to be tried at The Hague for war crimes for their subsequent actions. You can even have a little pathos, as a treat!

For example: yesterday I watched all 34mins of this & went from cheering the FAFO to realizing this guy has always been on a doomed trajectory that could only end in a crash out.

IMO a big part of that inoculation involves empathy & recognition that the fascist brand of CHUD rot (as opposed to the more innocent party/chaos type of CHUDdery) is super attractive to ppl who feel their choices & power stripped away. These are the lowest hanging fruit for the tinyhands alt-right

Seeing images from these global #NoKings protests is like a powerful anti-fungal cream for the horrible fascist CHUD rot that’s been plaguing us for so long. Remember, we’ll need steady & frequent application of this same medicine to fully inoculate against the spores or else they’ll just come back!
