This dude has some serious cojones: “My only intention was to express myself,” he told me in his first media interview. “The party installs surveillance cameras to watch us. I thought I could use the same method to watch them.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/b...

Amazing how the biggest and most dominating moral question of our time should also be the easiest to answer: Should a country be allowed to commit genocide? If your answer is anything other than an unequivocal “NO”, you are part of the problem.

Voor wie blijft volhouden dat tegenstanders van zionisme er simpelweg een verkeerde definitie van op nahouden; dit is hoe het anno 2025 door de Israëlische regering zelf gedefinieerd wordt.

Kudos to this guy. This is effective resistance. Brilliant in its simplicity. Don’t store the data and it can’t be demanded by the fascists either. Basically the tech equivalent of ‘don’t tell me and they won’t be able to get it out of me’.
![Apple had a hard time wrapping their head around it, because they were like, “What do you mean you’re never going to make money? What do you mean you’re never going to track anything?” I was like, “Yeah, that’s the point. I don’t care.” I don’t care about people’s data as far as, like, being able to get analytics or track them or sell their data. I don’t care about any of that. I care about keeping people safe. That is literally the whole point. Eventually they allowed it on.

Ik heb afgelopen weekend de laatste aflevering van de de serie gezien. Bij het kijken van The Handmaid's Tale hebben we elkaar regelmatig aangekeken zo van: ja, dit gebeurt tegenwoordig ook gewoon echt.

Buried in the regime's political takeover letter of the Smithsonian is the worst bit. Unlike exhibits, which are non-destructive towards primary materials, temporary in nature, and reversible, the foundational collections are irreplacable. They want to be able to throw stuff out.
Looks like Jay-Z didn't like having his music used as the background for a fascism-porn ICE ad using Fractur ("the Nazi font") as its font. ICE may be powerful. But corporate copyright lawyers are more powerful still.
Israel not even trying to hide it anymore. Openly admitting it. Lord.

Ah ja, mensen lekker dwingen om door te werken met een gebroken arm en te pissen in een plastic fles. Werknemers intimideren om vooral geen vakbond te vormen. En als klap op de vuurpijl alle mogelijke belastingen ontduiken.

Library of Congress@librarycongress.bsky.social · 12mo agoIt has been brought to our attention that some sections of Article 1 are missing from the Constitution Annotated (constitution.congress.gov) website.

Same old shite. If you’re against the Iraq War you hate America. If you oppose the genocide of the Palestinian people you hate Britain.
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 12mo agoLisa Nandy, the UK culture secretary, claims that #PalestineAction "wishes harm on the British people." That is simply false. It is yet another retrospective justification by this government for its unjustifiable ban on the group.
you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am
