People need to stop telling others to go to therapy. The therapy system is highly corrupt and we need to acknowledge and talk about the power society gives mental health providers and how it is weaponized against people. You can't buy sincere support and honesty from a stranger

I have witnessed this in person in a county jail in Georgia. We lost our own visitation with our families one weekend for protesting to get medical care for a woman recently arrived. The guards said she was "faking" it but we didn't care, we didn't want to see someone in that condition-real or not.

It's why western universities will offer courses in "genocide studies", but when their students WHO ARE DOING GENOCIDE STUDIES tell them that genocidal israel is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine, they suspend their students. So what exactly is the point of the damn course?

I'm a Black man with all kinds of fancy pansy degrees from fancy pansy white western universities. None of all that so-called "higher learning" equipped me the tools to properly understand and navigate the horrible capitalist and white supremacist systems that continue to traumatise me so greatly.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War

"The first duty of a revolutionary is to be educated."
Che Guevara

Why does the guerrilla fighter fight? We must come to the inevitable conclusion that the guerrilla fighter is a social reformer, that he takes up arms responding to the angry protest of the people against their oppressors, and that he fights in order to change the social system that keeps all his unarmed brothers in ignominy and misery.

I understand why people *want* the police to intervene--normies are like, 'I thought cops are supposed to arrest people doing crimes, ICE is right there doing crimes, go do your thing'

but police organizations take nearly every opportunity to be like, 'oh you misunderstood what our thing is'

Schools like to pretend that there are objective measures, but so much of it comes down to "does the professor like you or have some beef with you?" especially in subjective subjects. Teachers can just choose not to accommodate disabled students for example, and have little recourse when they

What has happened here is basically that data from the journals was collected for the sake of a "quality control" measure.

Then, that same data was used in published research, a completely separate purpose, without the consent of the people affected.

This is an EXTREME violation of research ethics

The way that major healthcare institutions have just decided the rules don't apply when it comes to trans people. Research ethics? Consent? Basic human dignity? Those would just be too inconvenient and it's only a bunch of trannies.

Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes:
- Without the patients' consent to participate in research
- Affecting minors
- 1700 of them
- Taking highly sensitive information from said journals

This is a HUGE breach.
