We had a million Americans die to gross negligence and propaganda one year. A million. Probably far more but they tampered with the data. We know this. They BRAGGED.

This world we’re in is absolutely absurd. I don’t understand how anyone lives their life just like easy peasy everything’s normal.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

Everything takes forever now. My kid has an eyeglasses appointment, I’d better block out six hours of my day. Routine doctor appointment? That gets canceled day of so let’s call that two whole work days wasted. Taco Bell takes 45 minutes half the fucking time. We spend so long waiting on basic shit.

This is the greatest system in the world. And voting is the only valid form of politics unless you’re actually in Washington. So shut up and vote harder and BEG the democrats to do pretty please protect your rights, and don’t complain about it ever, or it’s all your fault.

See it’s your fault. You didn’t vote hard enough in your local Bushwick election. That’s how they won Georgia. In four years when you get your only other oppurtunity to ever exert power, you better vote harder. And don’t try to do literally anything else in between, commie.

Wow, I voted so hard, I’m sure my votes in an overwhelmingly blue state I’ve lived in my entire life will have an impact, instead of immediately getting crowded out by politicians serving swaths of farmland states away gerrymandered into the most painful shape imaginable.

standing together makes us strong. standing with labor makes us strong. standing with leftists and revolutionaries and the oppressed around the world takes a billion struggling workers and makes them an army which can push the course of history toward peace and justice.

we are not cannon fodder for "revolutionary fantasies" any more than sylvia rivera was cannon fodder for queer liberation. we are its beating heart. every trans person is proof that humanity can know itself better, can express its joy, can live authentically and with intent. we ARE a revolution.

liberalism has no solutions, only empty rhetoric and a policy of adopting the ways and means of their nominal opponents until they themselves are an ineffective shadow of the monsters currently stripping the american carcass. it will not save you. it will not save us.

do not listen to pundits, even trans pundits, who have given up in their hearts on the dream of liberation, who have preemptively sold out in hopes of becoming part of a world which is already dead and rotting

Transness is not bourgeois. This is a wedge idea dreamed up by some gleefully amoral think tank lobotomite to split trans people and make us fight each other. That we relay on modern medicine doesn't make us any more bourgeois than someone who needs antidepressants or cleft palate repair.

If America had a functional opposition party, they would just be repeating this message over and over. So many people already hate AI. Those of us who lived through the dot com and subprime mortgage bubbles should be terrified about this

NightMar on Hicks Street, Part 4: The Rabbit’s Revenge @histoftech.bsky.social · 5d

“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

Three indie games, three different takes on a digital nightmare. While Proximate, Without a Dawn, and Dead Letter Dept. differ in their approaches, the takeaway is the same: our very perception of the world has been warped by systems outside our control. youtu.be/0zxQ9YAzy00
