I’m not sure what to make of this survey, honestly? If you’re a young person in solidarity with Gaza, or against police killings, or you’re trans or queer, would you have reason to trust the news?
A lost generation of news consumers? Survey shows how teenagers dislike the news media
You don't have to tell Cat Murphy or Lily Ogburn about the attitudes of young people toward journalists.

The billionaires who own much of the the infrastructure of our 21st century lives have progressively enshittified that infrastructure while expanding their wealth, and then they scold us for being small-souled peasants who don’t believe in progress anymore.

it is amazing how so much tech gets unremittingly worse year on year at whatever you once used it for and less pleasant to use and more bound up with creepy politics as well as personal and environmental harms and yet also still less productive of actual goods and these are somehow great visionaries

1) Nadie ha hablado de prohibir las horas extra.

2) Las horas extra se pagan como mínimo al 125% que una hora ordinaria, es una especie de "multa" por no saber organizar tu negocio.

3) Ni horas extra ni pollas, seguimos hablando de lo de siempre: horas gratis, y la respuesta es NO.

What else does @BBCWorld needs to see that it is an Israeli assassination of two men surrendet. Maybe if the shooters were Palestinians they would have written it different.

"the path between a fascist or decolonial future runs directly through Palestine"
Ta-Nehisi Coates asks Palestinian scholar and writer Tareq Baconi “what is it about this genocide particularly” that has changed us? Baconi, who has written extensively on Hamas and the history of Palestinian resistance, points to three factors. It’s happening in full view of the world, yet still allowed to continue. The gaslighting by governments and major media creates a “dual reality” that denies what people can see for themselves. And at its core, he says, the genocide exposes the colonial foundations of Western power. Baconi stresses that the path between a fascist or decolonial future runs directly through Palestine.

🔴 Forensic Architecture writes that the Gaza ceasefire is “legitimizing the next stage of Israel’s occupation, failing to stop the ongoing genocide and threatening to permanently shrink Gaza’s territory.”

Their investigation shows Israel using the “yellow line,” imposed after the Oct. 10 ceasefire, to redraw Gaza’s map and force a permanent partition. ▪️Key findings: 1. Israel is transforming the yellow line into a permanent border, expanding military infrastructure and ethnically cleansing 54% of Gaza east of the line. 2. The yellow line is deliberately inconsistent. Palestinians who approach it are shot, while Israel’s own maps contradict the line’s real location on the ground. 3. Of the 27 yellow blocks FA identified, all were located beyond the ‘yellow line’ as indicated on Israeli maps. They encroach up to 940m further into Gaza. 4. Israel has carried out at least 25 attacks on civilians since the ceasefire, almost all outside the area it labels the “dangerous combat zone.” 5. Most attacks hit zones Israel told Palestinians were “safe”, including Gaza City and the previously designated “relocation zone” for people fleeing Gaza City. 6. Israel is demolishing entire residential blocks east of the yellow line, clearing land to turn mass displacement into permanent dispossession. 7. Controlled demolitions continued throughout the ceasefire, including verified military footage of buildings blown up in Shejaiya. 8. Nowhere in Gaza is safe. Israel continues to strike civilian areas and infrastructure west of the line, blocking Palestinians from rebuilding. 9. This is a blueprint for a smaller Gaza, carved up under the cover of a ceasefire and enforced by live fire, expulsions, and demolition. orensic Architecture @ForensicArchi Our analysis of the ceasefire in maps: http://frames.forensic-architecture.org/gaza/ceasefire Quote Forensic Architecture @ForensicArchi · Nov 24 Gaza after the ceasefire is defined by the ‘yellow line’ — drawn by Israel, and dividing the strip in two. 54% of Gaza is now inaccessible to its population; Palestinians approaching or crossing the line from west to east are met with lethal force.

You guys realize that taxing people to pay for services isn't socialism, right? This is just how governments work.
Who is Wilson? She does not own a car. She lives in a rented 600-square-foot apartment with her husband and two-year-old daughter. By her own account, she depends on checks from her parents back east to cover expenses. To let them off the hook, she seeks to force residents of Seattle to pay for “free” child care and other goodies.

We all need to say this very clearly:

NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!

Expropriate their asses instead.

They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.

This exact same dynamic—dehumanizing fake content made entirely bc Facebook pays people to make it—played out in Myanmar in the run-up to a genocide. @karenhao.bsky.social laid it out in the starkest terms:

I fell into the deepest rabbithole on this stuff in 2023 and came out with 40k words on what exactly Meta did to enable and promote that genocide, and if you haven't read very far into the whole story, I can pretty much guarantee it is worse than you think it was.
