Whenever you get the temptation to say β€œno one else cares,” remember that we’re in a massive propaganda ecosystem intended to isolate and demobilize us.

And then go find five people that care and ask them if they need any help. Our hope is restored through the work and the community.

I don't want to hear the eventual mewling. It absolutely DOES matter that state TV is doctoring footage.

Every couple of months I think, why don’t I try something new with my coffee order… and each time I do, I regret it. Today I tried the Almond Brittle Latte and I’m forcing myself to drink it. Its pure sugar 🀒

I think I just like the actual taste of coffee over anything else.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

A milestone achievement graphic from the app, I Am Sober. It has a 6 in the center with lines coming out it.

With how crazy life has been, I forgot that I hit my 6 years sober milestone last week. Really proud of myself. What started as trying to see if i could be sober for a month, turned into 6 years. And no; it hasn’t been just as easy as that.

This week’s main story is about Twitter. Or β€œX” if you’re a hall monitor. How it went from bad to worse under Elon Musk, how it’s impacting us all, and why there’s exactly one account there that we’re still fine with.

Let’s start with this guy. He just hangs out in our basement and has been featured in numerous haunted doll shorts.

Please don't accuse people in knitted hats of only wearing their supposed politics if all you're doing is posting, which is basically just another way of wearing your politics. It's a silly thing to attack people over in any case. Using fashion to signal support for ongoing acts of rebellion is good

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

β€œI’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English”

my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

I only watched the game for bad bunny’s performance. It was just so good. We really needed that joy. Phenomenal.

They’re really pushing all these AI ads… it’s almost like people know how shitty AI is and don’t want to be a part of it…

Also, any actor in these commercials, lost any respect for. I don’t care how much you got paid. Bye. ✌️ fuck AI

NPS Strips Historical Signage From Two Major National Parks Signs referencing slavery, climate change, and Native American history have been removed from at least 17 national park sites in six states.

At the Grand Canyon, a display discussing the forced removal of Native American communities was taken down. In Glacier National Park, materials explaining the role of climate change in shrinking glaciers were also removed.
