WE ALL HATE DONALD TRUMP

Eb (he/him) @afab-acab.bsky.social · 7h

I'm bringing only four but I grew them all. In my uterus. And while I've fucked up a LOT as a parent I'm so pleased that I can get them all to come just by saying "hey do you want to go yell with a bunch of other people about how we all hate Donald Trump"

I feel like this is the only real way for these scam companies to make a profit. Exploit the loneliness of people with the flimsy illusion of love, who charges by the selfie and whose algorithmically designed words will never reject you and whose lewd pictures will always be porn-star quality.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

It is laughable to think that you can neuter the far right with minor tweaks like this.

How many Conservative or Reform supporters even know that immigrants have to pass a language test? They object to immigration on emotional grounds, not because they have dry objections to eligibility criteria.

To ensure graduates contribute effectively to the economy, the maximum post-study stay will be reduced to 18 months from the current 2 years for most from 1 January 2027. It comes after data clearly showed that many holders had not transitioned into graduate-level employment as intended.
Finance requirements for student visas will also be increased for the 2025 to 2026 academic year, meaning foreign students will have to demonstrate they have sufficient funds to support themselves.

the only company in this group that is worth a shit is palantir (and even then just barely), much like how Thiel and that rapist Lonsdale are outright fascists with a lot of $ but are also still gigantic dorks

recurring gripe of mine: stop talking about these people like they’re fucking supervillains, Palmer Luckey is grifter bullshit artist who is going to steal a lot of public money in exchange for buggy vaporware, he’s not Lex Luthor. they get off when breathlessl hyperventilating about them like this.

Kate Ross @kateross.bsky.social · Sep 6

The Merchant of Death, billionaire Palmer Luckey, rebranded the DOD the Department of War.

Peter Thiel/Palantir gave his company, Andruil, a billion dollars in January.

This is Palmer “I love killer robots” Luckey.

Origin story on rename below, as well as him hanging out with the worst people.
