look ima need white people to stop explaining to me that every white dude is prone to get obvious Nazi tattoos in their 20s. the shit is not true. I know plenty of white military dudes who didnt get Nazi tattoos. This is not a widespread phenomenon.
Right, it’s valuable that the US had to jump through so many hoops to get this data
There’s no perfect security but there is slowing them down
We need a pizza program that rewards people who actually make stuff without using AI. #fuckai
New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...
"The choice isn’t between books and screens. The choice is between intentional design and profitable chaos. Between habitats that cultivate human potential and platforms that extract human attention."
"Your inability to focus isn’t a moral failing. It’s a design problem. You’re trying to think in environments built to prevent thinking. You’re trying to sustain attention in spaces engineered to shatter it."
"The fatalism, however beautifully expressed, serves the very interests it condemns. The technology companies would very much like us to believe that what they’re doing to human attention is simply the inevitable result of technological progress rather than something they’re doing to us"
"We give them tools designed to fracture attention and blame them when their attention fractures. We built a world that profits from distraction and then pathologise the distracted."
"The people who cannot sit through novels aren’t broken. They’re adapted to an environment we built. We hand them infinite information and wonder why they drown. "

This button from MoAD (Museum of the African Diaspora) sums up what art is all about for me:
“Ignite Challenging Conversations” 🔥
But let's be clear:
When an evil, bloodthirsty man pushes your buttons and promises your glory YOU REMAIN A HUMAN PERSON WITH AGENCY & YOUR DECISIONS ARE YOUR OWN.
That the president & his cabal are such easy marks is not Bibi's fault. It's ours. Trump was elected. By people in this country.

IRAN WAR
Bibi didn't "make" Trump do anything.
He told Trump, Miller, Hegseth, etc, what they wanted to hear—that the thing they ALREADY WANTED TO DO was a great idea.
They grabbed that gleefully, & with both hands.
Which is part of Bibi knowing that America is a thing you can move very easily ⬇️
Gaza Soup Kitchen is a grassroots effort started by two brothers who wanted to feed their neighbors. It has grown from feeding 150 families/day to over 70,000 people/day.
Feed Gaza this Ramadan
They do not care to understand that the hundreds of millions of people in the Middle East—with their hundreds of millions of social networks, dreams, desires, & fears—have agency. Have whole cultures, centuries-long histories, shared traumas & joys that inform their decisions. That they're people.
