Interests include politics, sports, and painting Warhammer 40k models. Oh, and it'd be great if we could do something about income inequality and the impending fascism. Yeah...
I doubt "art thief" here will read this A.R.Moxon piece, but he should. www.the-reframe.com/peaceful-sol...
not an art thief@famousartthief.bsky.social · 12h agohe killed some random guy. i genuinely wonder if some of you had no mom or dad to give you some sort of moral compass. was morality just absent in your home. are you just a feral animal.
Was the killing of Brian Thompson a crime? That’s the question that is being asked—demanded, even—in the halls of power and corridors of justice and on the platforms of influence. Answer: It was. The question never asked is, what type of crime was his life? www.the-reframe.com/peaceful-sol...

Imagine what would be possible if Fossil Fuel money wasn't funding regressive politics everywhere.
@alexvonwitzleben.bsky.social · yesterdayAn innovative floating offshore solar project that generates electricity and converts seawater into drinking water. The farm near Gran Canaria produces 85 MW of renewable electricity while using that same power to operate reverse osmosis systems that desalinate seawater #ActOnClimate #renewables

“I had no idea!” Between now and the next presidential election, lots of politicians will say some version of that. Yes, they did. We all did. Vote them out. And don’t let them forget afterwards. Ever.
The problem with the online left is they demand everything be fixed all at once, without any real power to do so, or they'll take their ball and go home. Star Trek future isn't going to happen overnight. Let's not cede our present to the fascists for a few decades and see what's possible, yeah?
I Travel Like Sound Dog@chadstanton.blacksky.app · 2d ago“So if democratic socialism is effective, then why keep funding the New York police department at $11bn? And why dismiss taking money away as “rhetoric”?”
He HAS been betrayed. Hopefully he gets his family back and then listens to those who were trying to warn him about the lying grifters and bigots.

"Did you know that all those Iranian threats against Trump’s life that we’ve been hearing about recently come from… Israeli intelligence? And did you know that they aren’t considered all that credible by the U.S. intelligence community? SURPRISE!" Me, for Zeteo's First Draft today:
First Draft: Did Israel Fake the Iran Threats Against Trump’s Life?
Mehdi on how unverified intel from Tel Aviv forced the U.S. president into the back of a catering truck, while exaggerating the threat from Tehran. Plus: Trump's DC is Pyongyang, again.

David Roberts@volts.wtf · yesterdayWalked around Vancouver (east edge of gastown) tonight & it was surreal. We visited a bougie cocktail bar & an upscale restaurant & in between the streets were post-apocalyptic. Haggard, shady, druggy people shuffling everywhere amidst junk. Worse than anything I've seen in Seattle. Unexpected.
This should be talked about as much as, if not more than, the fact that Hasan Piker said something that sounds bad out of context 4 years ago...
Jess Calarco@jessicacalarco.com · 2d agoTwo married professors and their son are being held in ICE detention, despite being legal permanent residents and having no criminal records. All, apparently, because their mom/MIL was a translator for the Iranian hostage takers in 1979, before they were even born. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
NYC just casually having water balloon fights and playing musical chairs and I feel like the rest of us are living the most boring lives ever. You can now add this to zip lines and see saws.
We are very gradually going to start realizing with horror how completely we have fucked the brains of an entire generation.
Yeah, see, the thing is, a lot of them didn’t. Survive, that is.
We need representatives that believe in human rights for ALL, including people around the globe. This era of selfish violence must end.
Chris⚖️Justice@chrisjustice01.bsky.social · yesterday💥 Israel is deliberately burning South Lebanon. Ancient olive trees, forests, farmland — older than Israel itself — all reduced to ash. Up to 40% of land near the frontline has been completely scorched. 40%. No outrage or help. Nothing. 8/13 @sarahabdallah.bsky.social
(1) clearly invoke your 6th amendment right to counsel (2) clearly invoke your 5th amendment right to remain silent (3) shut up You can’t talk to cops. They aren’t your friends. Theyre not there to help you. They’ve targeted you & are looking to build a case against you. Don’t help them.
Riley Bruce@rileybruce.bsky.social · 2d agoWhat’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?
Because protecting criminals is what Trump and the GOP are now EXPECTED to do (by the grifters that help them maintain their false narratives)
Chris⚖️Justice@chrisjustice01.bsky.social · 2d ago💥 Andrew and Tristan Tate's lawyer, Joseph McBride, just went on an insane tirade threatening to go to Donald Trump if the judge doesn't release the Tate Brothers.

Basically, investigate what the capitalist class demanded over the past 50 years and reverse that shit. That should be step 1.

I think when members of congress call out presidential corruption they should say what they plan to do about it, otherwise we're just electing reporters
Tina Smith@smith.senate.gov · 2d agoThe White House normally gets $2.5 million a year for maintenance. Trump’s team has allocated $875 million. That’s 350 years’ worth of the usual budget spent by a single administration.
