I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

Queer people are the working class. Arab and Muslim people are the working class.

The working class is intersectionality personified. It's not three cis straight white men in an Ohio diner.

Just to be clear:

Trans people are the working class. Black people are the working class. Immigrants are the working class. Pregnant people are the working class. Brown people are the working class. Asian people are the working class. Disabled people are the working class.

This is what people who have this idea that you have to boycott everything don't understand.

There is no such thing as a perfect boycott. A "perfect" boycott means you consume nothing, wear nothing, and end up perishing from consuming and wearing nothing.

Pick your spots, help your neighbors.

Not everyone can boycott Amazon

Many disabled & elderly people are housebound and rely on it

Some medical supplies are more affordable there than anywhere else.

Instead of judging, help create networks of care.

Give rides, drop off food and meds, donate to mutual aid

Take care of each other

Not only this is amazing because part of fascism is the destruction of joy but it also makes it look ridiculous that the military is being deployed to put a stop to this

As the administration goes all in on an alternate reality about portland that bears no resemblance to fact and rule of law, continuing radical (and just plain funny, ridiculing) acts of the imagination along with other ways of getting out the reality on the ground may help curb their momentum.

Dire as the stakes are, leaning into absurdist and lighthearted forms of protest seems like a great way to puncture the fantasy Trump & co are spinning to attempt to rationalize a violent crackdown.

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

We started an account called Corruptario 3 or 4 years ago. (R.I.P. to that account, and 2 more.)

We published first Corruptario article in February of 2023.

We got inundated with normies saying we were crazy for saying Ontario is corrupt.

Now, not so much.

All free to read.

This is actually what is going to happen.

That’s already what’s happening in Lebanon. Israel kills regularly, violates the ceasefire agreement on an hourly basis.

It’s just not on the news anymore.

This is why pressure against Israel mustn’t just continue, but increase.

Energy requirements for AI mean that the only way for the bubble not to burst would require companies to multiply their carbon footprint to an unimaginable degree. Right now, while AI is barely functional and mostly a novelty for the lazy, it requires so much energy that data centers rival cities.

A journalist not asking basic followup questions to a person in power, has a goal.

If you assumed that goal was "informing the public," you would think they were failing at that goal instead of very successfully attaining it.

RFK's goal is to kill children, specifically sick children.

If you assumed that was *not* his goal, you'd think that he was failing at an entirely, completely different goal: not killing children.

It's interesting how easy it is for people to look at someone *wildly* succeeding at a horrific goal, and continue acting as if they are failing at a very different goal which they have repeatedly and loudly declared they do not have.
