Reminder that Palestine has been around for nearly 2,500 years dating back to the Roman empire, while Israel as a country has only been around for roughly 85.

Israel is not owed Palestine. They are colonists. They invaded. It's not their land. It was never their land.

Make it make sense.

OHIO: know your rights!

This message from bluesky is a LIE! You, an individual, are NOT required by the law to verify your age. Bluesky is required to have you verify your age IF it detects that you are in Ohio.

if it does not detect that you are there, YOU DO NOT NEED TO VERIFY! vpn use is legal!

Fascism demands to be taken seriously and to be feared. That makes mockery a powerful tool. Is it how you "beat" fascism? I wouldn't go that far. But inflatable Reptar has surely poked a clearer hole in the story the White House is telling that the Democratic Party's multimillion dollar comms shops.

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

Trump and Musk spent HUNDREDS of MILLIONS attacking trans people. Trump II's first big EOs aimed to drum trans people out of public life. He's tried to ban them from travelling.

There is no way this is not a newsworthy item.

But because it's not negative about trans people, it doesn't get covered.

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI. And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries.

Ever since i was introduced to the concept of a computer at a very young age, one of the first things i was immediately taught was to be afraid of every advertisement and pop-up. Nothing that has happened in the previous 20 years of my life has changed my mind, and has only reinforced this fear.
