tysm Biden and congressional Democrats for making the sale of tiktok to an american oligarch a bipartisan issue because you were mad you couldn't stop young people from watching Palestinians documenting their own genocide (or Israelis documenting the genocide they were carrying out, for that matter)

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

genuinely nothing sums up how weird internet stuff has been mainstreamed and turned commercialized more than 'shitpost that took off years ago by trans person gets poorly remixed for an internet show for two cis het guys to go "WHAT WAS HE THINKING???" at'

"trump derangement symptom"as a term is of course a creation by the right to handwave any complaint people have of the once and current president, but american liberals really are reactionaries with their exclusive focus being on trump.

Whilst we're on the subject of shocking living things, did you know police departments routinely shock human beings with tasers until they die and chalk up their deaths to a fake medical condition they call "excited delirium" that was invented by taser companies to absolve themselves of liability?

someone on the Motorola forums was having the same problem with the camera I've been having, but I just have to share the image they posted to demonstrate the issue.
it's the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life dude

The photo is of an elderly woman in gray clothes that has been so bizarrely processed that it looks both totally over and desaturated

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.

I should thank them, it helped me connect the dots how not only did 7th October spell the end of Liberal Zionism, it ultimately also marked the collapse of Liberalism in the broader picture. Simple set-and-subset I guess. Oh and they still very much identify as a liberal zionist rofl.

By "a few" I can confirm it was barely two months ago, lol. Not saying you can't join the correct side of history but most respectable people 1) already did this ~22 months back, at least, and 2) did it much more quietly because they recognized they're not the ones who should be centered right now.

Someone a few months ago waxed poetic about calling the genocide in Gaza a genocide and did rebuke Israel's actions but it was hard for them, being jewish, to condemn the only jewish state and it took me a minute there to remember: oh yeah, liberal zionism, that's technically still a thing.
