Did I see that right that "the biggest left wing streamer" (Hasanabi) just did some animal tortured live on cam with a relaxed demeanor that only speaks of "this is a daily activity for me"?

This is so f'ed up like how has this guy followers that actually think he is a progressive.

Being bad at it is a necessary consequence of fascism. If you find they are actually good at it you might be looking at something new.

that said: I think the "it's not fascism unless they're good at it" brand of analysis probably isn't the move

Der 7.10. war ein elendiges Verbrechen.
Nichts gutes kann aus zur Schau stellen von Massenmord und Demütigung im Sterben kommen.

You know, you see these articles about the cumulating effects of COVID and it's really bad but locally you have to discuss with people that say "if it's an epidemic, there is no need for protection anymore".

Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest:

When Will the Lion Concern Himself

Joking memes make light of the uncomfortable reality: everyone's got a little of that post-COVID brain damage these days

Not remembering this specific scam, but yeah, the peace movement is absolutely into creative worldbuilding (not just pseudo science, understanding of power blocks and hero-stories for autocrats and so on).

It feels like this overshadows any inner-german conversation about the situation in gaze

It's unfortunate that due to germany's unique situation of a left wing cluster that isn't inherently hostile to Israel, germany's (from my perspective) equally unique brand of pro palestine activism stays unrecognised as an outlier. It would be interesting to see its ideological specifics analysed.

With the same argument I've experienced pro palestine activists argue children should have stayed in school, arguing that protecting children from the virus was the attempt of an inherently evil system to keep itself alive through a natural catastrophy.

While the same was the case in german left leaning protests and movements for a while, it was noticably not the case in germany's "peace movement". To a degree that I have personally experienced multiple actors in that movement declare, that covid protections are "statesmenlike" and therefore wrong.

It feels like a stark difference to pro-palestine movements outside of germany that the german pro-palestine movement is brimming with covid-denialism or worse.
In my perception the pro-palestine movement in the US was for a long time very aware of Covid and practived protection.

In reality of course there is a lot of things to produce which aren't and this work could instead produce these things.

And of course, advertisement often forces an additional middlemen in between production and consumer. Someone who wants to get paid without producing anything.

Elaine @elainenoro.bsky.social · 2d

On a global scale advertisement increases the average time *a worker* has to work to produce a ware. If it wouldn't destroy our free time (and therefore devalue our work again) we might think it a good for *the worker*.

The issue with every hardware company pivoting to ads is your purchasing power doesn't go up from it.

Können wir uns von der Idee lösen, dass präzise gemähter Rasen die Standard-Lösung für Gartenbewuchs ist? Pflanzt Buschlandschaften! Blumenwiesen! Können wir hinkriegen, dass Leute neidisch zum Nachbargarten schauen, nicht weil er grüneren High-Tech-Rasen hat, sondern weil dort mehr Spezies leben?

CN Folter

Neue Untersuchungen ergaben, dass Roschtschyna 8 Tage bevor sie starb in die russische Haftanstalt in Kizel verlegt wurde, welche bekannt ist für systematische Folter. Freigelassene Ukrainer*innen berichten von stundenlanger Schlägerei, Elektroschocks, und psychologischer Folter.

Ich finde "geh halt wieder woanders hin" eine etwas defensive Reaktion auf "die Einschätzung von bsky als queerfreundliche Platform war falsch und es war falsch andere queers dafür zu mobben skeptisch zu sein."

Ich vergleiche es aber nicht mit Twitter, sondern mit den anderen alternativen die nach Twitter aufkamen.

Social media CEOs will be like "you believe in decentralization? That pales in effectiveness to my strategy, building a community safe for queers" and then not build a community safe for queers

Ah werde schon geblockt dafür. Aber sind wir mal ehrlich es war eine Fehleinschätzung und die CEO von bsky hat gestern sehr deutlich gemacht, dass sie lieber die rechte Elite als Queers auf der Plattform hätte. Das hier ist kein schöner Ort und es war falsch so zu tun.

Elaine @elainenoro.bsky.social · 6d

Erinnert ihr euch noch an die alle die so smug waren, dass sie zuerst auf bsky waren als wäre das hier in irgendeiner Weise eine okaye, oder gar gute Platform und so getan haben, als würde die Platform selbst sie nicht hassen und loswerden wollen?

Furthermore, truly nobody is fighting the use of genAI in usecases like "production line planning" or "molecule folding prediction"; but rather certain uses and importantly, exactly those that further monopolization and wage theft are fought against.

Elaine @elainenoro.bsky.social · 6d

While tone and vitriol absolutely are astonishing in this, one of the main mistakes the post makes is to imagine "genAI" as "technological progress". That's a surreal assumption. Many technologies actually fail and many others end up being used in wildly different fields than initially expected.

This is extra disturbing after winning in a landslide and still saying "we have to move right to win" ... Like as if you weren't allowed to do politics as government

Idk, but to me the main sign that the “AI” bubble is about to burst is that it’s now advertised as an investment to consumers.

If you’re a big investor, how do you unload your high risk assets that might collapse soon? You make the plebs buy them off of you.

This is the dump part of “pump & dump”
