I, unlike Magdalen Ros, have nothing to lose and I do declare the Pinkerton agency is a force for capitalist evil. They always were and continue to be a pack of legalised Mafia buttonmen. If you're a Pinkerton, fuck you and your entire lineage. youtu.be/xjiUbYvlPC8

A little prototype (not painted yet). Looks too "sweet" to my taste but I wanted a test-thingy for thicknesses, techniques and paints before getting into designs that are more personal
Promising and so much fun to make 🤓

We will have a LONG goddamned way to go before social media becomes what it was meant to be - tech mediated telepathy, Right now it's still "choose which rich dickhead you can't afford to offend" town

is Reddit run by a bigger, more supercilious pack of cunts than Meta? I appealed a permanent ban (no reason given) and they upheld the ban (EVEN FEWER REASONS GIVEN). Nice flourish with the passive aggressive little "We suggest you study our rules" at the end there... STILL no obvious reason given.

and even then, it's hard to look at and think there's anything more than the most marginal of the thinnest advances now. As a Benchy it's a big shrug and as a movie it's like two Mario levels and a cutscene if you know what I mean?

for those keeping track at home: YouTube and Snapchat say they doesn't qualify, TikTok is reportedly trying to get around the ban by fiddling with its features.

With <2 months to go, 3 out of 5 companies /named/ by the government either don't accept they're in the ban or want to circumvent it

@izumillion.bsky.social this is the result of Australia having three Abe Shinzos in a row- the cruelty and stupidity is now baked into our politics and even a new labour government can't stop indulging in contempt for the poor and disgusting subservience to the rich

Simon Rosenberg @simonrosenberg.bsky.social · 11h

While the media and political class fixate on tinkering with superannuation, a new report finds that 1 in 7 Australians are living in #poverty.

And it's 1 in 6 children.

In such a wealthy nation, this is an obscene policy choice. #inequality #RaiseTheRate #auspol

That, and twats like him have never met a consequence to their actions they couldn't resolve by moving money from one account to another. also they only know 'uppity' women or black folks as troublesome employees... But the nation isn't a company or a mansion.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 1d

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

look I know it's mostly just a consequence of Congresspeak vs a value judgement but we have a legal term for 'deliberate unlawful killing'

Rep. Jim Himes on Trump blowing up boats in the Caribbean: "The White House has not shared what they believe their legal justification is. They did put out a memo. I will tell you based on what I know now and the reading of that memo, these are illegal killings."

see also how Mexican cuisines plural became TexMex because of population movement, or how Chinese takeaway food are massive abbreviations and recombinations of so many different regional food cultures:) A lot of AUTHENTIC FOOD talk is just losers looking for something to be "best at" or "real"
