Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.

Flat illustration of a Wood Pigeon, Magpie, and Robin in a parade-line stride holding autumn leaves up high with their beaks! (UK birds as I am there right now on vacation!)

Ghost Bath:
Their music was hyped to hell and back when it first came out, and then, years later, I realized it was okay.

Chicken and beef liver. In my house, we call it "pana".

Ironically, I hate paté.

What foods do you love that you fully acknowledge make you a pervert for loving them?

I am so exhausted that, at this point, I am surprised I can even form coherent sentences.

Pt1 🧵: Greta Thunberg deported to Athens says, "There's a live-streamed Genocide in front of our eyes in Gaza. No one will be able to say they didn't know this was happening. The Global Samud Flotilla only existed because our leaders failed. Our international systems are betraying Palestinians."

Now I am going to feel bad every time I beat up Johan (formerly known as Amygdala)

If you have enough points in Insight, you can see the Amygdalas everywhere on the buildings in Yharnam

Despite all the attempts to paint American fascism as some sort of grassroots phenomenon, so much of it is fueled by gentry at the same dinner parties hating the rest of us.

Tressie McMillan Cottom @tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 2d

I had a liberal centrist — a professional — once tell me that they engage with more diversity at a Bari Weiss dinner party than they do in any mainstream media event.

I mention this because, just as it is true in politics at the moment, some of the calls are coming from inside the house.

Heed these words:

David Rothkopf @djrothkopf.bsky.social · 4d

The words “terror networks” here are ominous as they can be used to implicate, intimidate and punish very nearly anyone whose views, donations, charitable work, political work, etc are defined by them as supporting those they oppose.

Stephen Miller again lashes out at the judiciary, suggesting federal judges are aiding and abetting domestic terrorism:

AI/LLMs can never be sentient. They can never be people.

Anyone who tells you otherwise needs to a) understand who these things actually work and b) READ THE GODDAMN LITERATURE

Not to hint the next review I am working on, but I am hoping my understanding of a specific political/sociological theory aids me to understand.

Not a single Greta hater could do what she has done, face what she's faced, bear abuse and humiliation at the hands of the most psychotic and genocidal army. They haven't an ounce of her bravery and that's what drives them crazy. Free Greta, free Palestine🇵🇸

THE TIDES ARE TURNING

61 percent saying Israel has committed war crimes and about 39 percent saying the country is guilty of genocide against the Palestinians

You’re gonna say this isn’t enough. You’re right. But these numbers were almost unthinkable a year ago.

Many American Jews sharply critical of Israel on Gaza, Post poll finds

Most Jews say Israel is committing war crimes — and 39 percent say genocide — while often distinguishing between the country and its leadership.
