SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26

NO - 41%
YES - 38%
UNSURE - 21%

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Pretty much, they are both atrocities, and I do agree that we need to keep talking about the files and not let that slide, I don't agree that they invaded a country just as a distraction. It's ignoring the long history of genocides committed by the usa, a nation built on stolen land and genocide.

Yea.. I'm just so tired of people dismissing whole genocides as a mere distraction. The nations who have been committing genocide from the start would still be committing them now even if there was no files to distract from.
They've been invading countries well before that

Also I've been much less active here because the vibes changed so much recently. My fav people left one by one, and there are only a few left here that I still enjoy. And a lot of the "leftists" still here are... sketchy at best tbh. So I've been pondering just leaving bsky in the very near future

Yea it was added when I was using the platform and it was really well made, when I started on it there was none and most of the platform wasn't translated yet so I didn't know what the buttons did lol. They did an awesome job and they also did it pretty quick!

I need to get back on it, I didn't reinstall it after my last phone broke down because I've never been a fan of video based platforms like tiktok and such, but it was a very wholesome platform and I could use some hope in humanity

Shit people do shit things, all the time. That's their whole thing. They don't commit atrocities just to distract from another one, they commit them for greed and cruelty. If there wasn't any Epstein files, they would still commit genocide, they always did and will always do. Until they are stopped.

Trash people will not only commit just one atrocity and then commit the rest as a clever ploy to distract.
ALL the bad shit they did needs to be talked about, relentlessly. Not ranked against one another to find the "one" true one, and dismiss all others as distractions.

The whole XYZ is a distraction from the files is annoying tbh. It dismisses the atrocities committed as secondary or not as important as the other atrocity. As if there can only be one and the rest are just distractions.
No, nothing is a distraction. Keep talking about ALL of them.

Meta Lied About Its Smart Glasses Protecting User Privacy, New Class Action Lawsuit Claims Meta has been hit with a class action lawsuit, accusing it of lying about prioritizing privacy with its smart glasses.

These are serious allegations.

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

I can't believe this needs to be said, but a Prime Minister casually throwing references to "blood" and "soil" in multiple speeches in any context is a problematic normalization of a well-known extremist phrase. It's irresponsible *at best*.

Nooo I missed your birthday!! Happy late birthday!!!
Also 🫂 no sad :(

Y'all realize that without a third party stepping in to get the US to get Israel to back down, Israel is going to use a nuke, right? Like the entire international order is just going to silently watch as the child rape elite haute bourgeoisie commit family annihilation to avoid socialism and justice

Ah yes, the good old "they're coming right for us!" excuse

not to wade into The Discourse or anything but i think if you work for a newspaper that launders the news on behalf of nazis it's probably fair to call you a nazi collaborator

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

How China is reporting on the Epstein Files.

- War isn't hell. War is war, and hell is hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse... -How do you figure that Hawkeye? Easy, father. Tell me, who goes to hell? - Sinners, I believe. - Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in hell. War is chock full of them. Little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

If you are old enough to have watched this show you would know, for those who haven't it's from a TV Show M.AS.H, reminder of what an actual war is, it's not the sanitized version of oligarchy media slop.

Sadistic Statistic #1:

It's not that they can't afford to provide universal healthcare to all. It's that they need that money to fund genocide, mass murder and regime change, while providing massive tax cuts to the billionaires.

UNLIMITED CONCESSIONS

the democrats' plans to respond to the republicans' chicanery, at all times, for the last several decades at least:

So they ask to elect the other guys, the ones that have been doing the same things but at least they have decorum and do it behind closed curtains, so people don't have to feel bad and can pretend they're the good guys again.

And now, they lifted the curtains to reveal the same thing they have been doing since the beginning and people are... shocked and surprised? Just like playing peekaboo with a baby. No object permanence whatsoever.

A country that started with stolen land, slavery and genocide of its native population, and continued in the same fashion ever since overseas. But they learned to close the curtains because it made people uncomfortable to see that their privileges are based on the suffering of entire populations.

this is human experimentation. they are testing conversion therapy on the most vulnerable populations for a reason. it's the same reason they target trans kids and disabled people. because it's harder for those people to resist. and then they'll come for the rest of you. and what will do you? (1/2)
