The thing is, they're trying to convince the American people who will appreciate it that they're the *bad* guys. The Hindutva combine & regime has been doing the same on social media since 2015; lynching videos, hate speech, etc & on.

More propaganda with painfully normal people zip-tied at the side of the road please, this will for sure convince the American people that you're the good guys

How cool was Rani? Cool enough to inspire an Ozzy video, and that's just a start

Garrett Gilchrist @garrettgilchrist.bsky.social · Jul 22

That time a "Satanic" anti-fascist protest, involving the late ROMhacker Rani Baker, was called out by lying alt-right fascist influencers.

That time Ozzy Osbourne reacted by thinking "that's cool" and impersonating the event and Rani in his music video "Straight To Hell."

A fascist influencer named Andy puts Rani Baker on blast for taking part in an antifascist protest. Wet Andy is crying about it

Lying fascist influencer Andy Milkshake lies about the late ROMhacker Rani Baker, at a previous event where Andy was rightly mocked for being a lying fascist. Andy is crying about it, or pretending to.

The late heavy metal musician Ozzy Osbourne visually references the "Satanic Anti-Fascist" protest the late ROMhacker Rani Baker took part in, in his 2020 music video for "Straight to Hell." Staged chaos is ensuing, and Ozzy is enjoying it.

I was listening to an old Casey Kasem American Top 40 (I find this soothing these days) from 1985 where he told the story of Wendy Carlos, who scored The Shining and Tron, and her journey to becoming trans. Casey got all the pronouns right and it was presented as a slice of life, feel good story

Cool tip: it actually takes MORE effort to deliberately misgender someone AND it marks you as a total asshole! Pretty cool!

To put it another way, I have represented thousands of people. I cannot think of a single instance in which the initial police report was entirely correct. Not one.

Journalists, please stop copying them down as if they were. Or at least give context re credibility!

Matthew Guariglia @mguariglia.bsky.social · 2d

Whether you're a casual news reader or a breaking news reporter at the NYTimes, I implore you--please, please, please--do not believe or report DHS/ICE/CBP's side of events uncritically. End the state's monopoly on legitimate storytelling. They are not the objective arbiter of what really happened.

I can’t believe they’re making it permanent! We finally have an operating UBI system in the world!

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

It is not a coincidence that most of the videos you see of ICE agents using excessive force seem to feature unarmed women half their size. 🙃

This is a 30 year old image from the LA Riots.

Since reality fails to comply with the president's delusions, CNN has reached back into history to produce images that align with his lies, and manipulate readers into thinking it's the present day.

They've picked their side.

Homestuck (MSPA) used to have these ads (via ProjectWonderful) for presumably erotic comics, and a couple of times I made my own parodies that were Homestuck related, and ran them as ads. Here is "Dr. Kanaya" (2011)
