I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

He said this deliberately because he is a Nazi and he wants you to know he's a Nazi who you can't touch. He also wants other Nazis to know they can be open about the fact they are Nazis too.

This isn't an oversight, a fumble or an opportunity for a "heh, well actually, dummy" zinger.

"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

occurs to me that LLM slop, far from making translators obsolete or making their jobs impossible, is actually going to usher in a new renaissance when they inevitably collapse after poisoning the well. I think there's gonna be demand someday again

I can say with 100% confidence that if Watergate happened in today’s political and media environment, it would result in absolutely nothing.

obviously he's a liar and a moron and thinks its 1992 but what we saw here was him claim Portland is a warzone, talk to the mayor of Portland and come back genuinely confused, and then a couple weeks later he's convinced again

I am saying once again that the Conservative attack on the Arts is because they are incredibly envious of artists who they perceive as a group that has “too much” cultural power, a type of influence Conservatives crave but will never have because they’re anti-intellectuals with no imagination.

i can't imagine the kind of terror normal people who don't use "do not disturb" and sleep next to their smartphones live under. I had an unknown number from Tunisia at 6:50am. If I was woken by this and had to go to work after, I'd just kms

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police.

Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

I’ve had it up to here with the supermoon hype. If you like space, astronomy, and celestial things, cool cool cool. Feel free to dismiss me as a hater.

Supermoons ain’t for me, and here’s why.

Identifying public officials isn't "doxing." People have the right to know who is working for their government. Nor, for that matter, is it "radical left-wing terrorism." So it's frustrating to see platforms caving to these bad faith characterizations. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/1...

Another effort to track ICE raids was just taken offline

People over Papers was removed by Padlet, the platform it was built on, yesterday.
