Holding up snarky signs doesn't seem to be working.

For me, it isn't about whether this action is appropriate or not. It's about how this kind of action is inevitable.

I'm going to let Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. explain in a quote no one seems to post during his annual holiday.

"It is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?"

If you only speak up about a supercharger catching fire and ignore the unheard, you are prioritizing a thing over people.

DO NOT DO THIS!!!

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

[charlignon]

Also do NOT append "12ft.io/" before a URL ! Typing an URL like this https://12ft.io/<URL> will redirect to a site that would break the display of the page by removing the paywall !

[cinoclexity]

Honestly it's kind of prohibited to mash CTRL+P before some paywall windows can load in to get a PDF of the article. Really shouldn't be done tbh very dangerous🤷🏿‍♂️ ❌️

How Target Got Cozy With the Cops, Turning Black Neighbors Into Suspects

For years, America’s most upbeat retailer funded surveillance to make inner cities safe—for some. Now it’s trying to convince people of colo

Activists Target Target’s Cop Collaboration - UNICORN RIOT

Following the murder of George Floyd, activists began blowing the whistle on Target Corporation’s unprecedented partnership with police. 

Target’s history of working with police is not a good look right now

A damaged Target in Minneapolis has shined a light on the company’s cozy programs with cops.

[samthor]

well that certainly puts things into perspective. perhaps target understands that the white male supremacy throwing domestic terrorism tantrums over rainbow shirts has significant overlap with the militarized police force.

[whoregoisie-deactivated20230607]

idk if it's this way everywhere but the targets in my city all are super militarized and have target security patrols walking around in tactical vests and shit

Giant phallus mown into Bath's Royal Crescent days before coronation

It has left locals bemused

[ms-katonic-of-tamriel]

Hats off to the Bristolian legends behind this one, well done lads, keep up the good work.

"this can't possibly be real" I said

Was a Giant Penis 'Drawn' Into Lawn Where a King Charles Coronation Party Was Planned?

Some hard-hitting news coverage ahead of the coronation.

yes, snopes says, it is very real.

In what some may describe as a major dick move ahead of the May 6, 2023, coronation of King Charles, someone created a large outline of a giant phallus at a park in Bath, England. According to reports, the erect penis outline was 30-feet-long and seemingly appeared overnight, noticed by local residents on May 4.

it's probably made with herbicide, not mowed, which is even better (and harder to fix)

TV Executives: “if the strike goes in, you won’t get new episodes of your favorite shows! You won’t get new movies you were looking forward to! Isn’t that terrible, what the writers are doing to you?”

Me: Bitch, that might have been an effective threat in 2007, but we have since survived a Covid shutdown and discovered ways to amuse ourselves while we waited, we can outwait this shit, too. I got a pile of shows saved I haven’t even watched yet, and a Mt. TBR waiting for me.

Compensate (and respect) your writers for their work, assholes.

[aspiringwarriorlibrarian]

It's just hilarious that they're trying to pull this whole "but your favorite shows!" nonsense.

Oh, you mean the shows you cancel after the third season no matter how good they're doing to avoid paying writers residuals? The shows that get produced and then never aired because you found a nice tax writeoff? The shows whose writing suffers because the writers' room got six weeks to write before getting booted and making the showrunner adapt all their scripts? The shows you straight up pulled from your streaming service to scam their crews out of rewatch money?

I will happily sacrifice my shows for the writers that gave them to me, no questions needed, but if anyone tries to say that the blatantly terrible way streaming treats its writers is somehow beneficial to shows, remind them of Infinity Train and Batgirl. That's the ideal they're pushing towards if someone doesn't say no, and we should be thankful that the writers are doing that for us.

[lea-andres]

Just look the executives in the eye and say "You already cancelled my favorite show, you bitch."
