Brian McFadden: Is Google Cooked? (via Daily Kos)

[closet-keys]

cnn reporters are so mealy-mouthed. "Both parties have accused each other of violating the terms [of the ceasefire]." Israel has been documented violating the agreement thousands of times. there are recorded names of the dead, public uncontested record of Israel's maintaining their blockade (and the inventory data in Gaza hospitals backing it up), and (again public) record of ordering the military to push forward and occupy 70% of the strip. none of these are "accusations" they are documented and observable facts in reality. and then they accuse Palestinians of violating the terms for refusing to lie down and die.

Do not believe the USAmerican supreme court when it says that it just "interprets" the law and does not write it, that is a myth made up by Liberalism to create the illusion of a non-political authority to deflect blame onto for the state's violence.

The Supreme Court is extremely political, it is not impartial, and it has and continues to be a defacto unelected legislative body.

When they uphold a ban on transfems in women's sports, they are not doing that because they care about the law, in fact the law as written would actually make it illegal, they are doing it because they seek to uphold cis patriarchy.

If I hear one more fucking birthday boy complaining about how the ruling doesn't talk about them as well, when it actually used their ability to play in men's sports as a justification for the ban on transfems, I will go find that bomb for TMEs because holy shit.

[tankie-transfeminist]

Related to this, isnt it interesting how the supreme court only seems to make sweeping expansions to executive power when a republican is the president? Funny how a supposedly non-partisan, apolitical, and objective body always seems to weaken the presidency when a slightly less fascist president is in the white house, and expand it when a more fascist one is.

Can I use the word “nigga” if I’m quoting a song? Specifically, the extremely common gesture of sharing lyrics on a blog or profile.

I imagine nobody would suggest it’s offensive for a white person to share the recording (perhaps excluding the RIAA), but printing the word felt different enough to make me hesitate when making a post earlier. Just curious.

[thinkspeakstress-blog-blog]

You let your white users send people of color threats, harassment, stalk us, send us racial slurs, rape threats and literally traumatize us with their racism, and when we report it to you for you to help us, you tell us there’s nothing you can do, and then shut down our blogs when we have the nerve to tell them to fuck off, and you want to be able to use the word Nigga? FOR REAL?

FUCK YOU. FUCK. YOU. DAVID. KARP.

2010 and 2012. David is the founder and former CEO of tumblr. If yall ever wondered if the antiblackness been baked in or nah.

Generative AI and the artist discussion is such a distraction from AI’s military and police applications or its role in automating hiring discrimination.

[cyberpunkpavlichenko]

The Nazis didn’t attack artists for being artists. They primarily targeted gay and Jewish artists for “degenerating” the culture through their avant garde ideas.

They did not attack artists for the sake of them producing art. The Nazis literally produced their own art and films. They were not against art itself but Jewish art. They were very clear about that.

[lichcoil]

so there's a natural order to this world and we need atleast four million mans in boots with armor, vehicles, and firearms to enforce it, otherwise something unnatural might happen

[liarsblade]

There's this perception, I've noticed, that if you're going to have a cultural conception of something like "mental health" in your fictional setting it has to be like Ideal, it needs to be the ideal version of mental health awareness/conception/care or it needs to not exist at all even a little. Does that make sense.

[liarsblade]

Similarly there's also this idea that either a character knows what therapy is, has had some, and has had an overwhelmingly positive experience and result from it, or they have literally no concept of therapy at all, like Harry Du Bois not knowing that he's a cop style. Total blank. Very odd.

[liarsblade]

The options are not "this story takes place in the Instagram infographic universe" or "you get nothing. Everyone has a caveman's understanding of what depression is." is all I'm saying. Make a setting with a concept of mental health that sucks. Send the character to therapy that doesn't work. Officially diagnose them with something that sucks and is absolutely going to be taken out of the in-universe dsm in a couple of editions. Try something difference.

So I missed episodes 1-3 of Utena and im catching up now and damn Utena literally accidentally became a slaveowner by trying to fight for her bestie’s honor wtf

[storyweavingspider]

Again asking how in all the utenaposting I’ve seen for years the slavery is almost never mentioned. Anthy is first shown getting her ass beat by her “master” and then later is shown scrubbing rooms clean as one of the only darkskinned characters and that’s like 2 episodes in

[storyweavingspider]

Slavery really just doesn’t register to whites on the same level huh

[storyweavingspider]

Also to be clear - this is a very intentional and reoccurring theming in this. It’s not happenstance it’s VERY explicit which makes the fact I’ve seen so little about it absolutely unhinged to me. I’ve only been through 6 episodes total so far and I cannot imagine discussing this beyond quips without the slavery being a huge factor bc it colors everything in a different light

Like the themes of assault/sexual assault aren’t just that of a woman, but of an enslaved woman. Themes of ensuring an enslaved, darker-skinned woman, knows and remembers “her place” when seen to be reaching above her station solely by existing and being owned. Just.

Unironically I would’ve watched this years ago if literally any of this came up it besides “omg lesbian trans-coded anime”

[daftpatience]

this is yuri to me
