DW - partners in crime | doctor & donna

"Hello."

"Who are you?"

"Nice to meet you, I'm the Doctor."

"And I'm Donna."

Video title didn't load quick enough, I thought this was a post about DW from Arthur.

you construct the settler civilian so you can construct the settler civilized so you can define the settler colony as an inviolable space of civilization so you can designate the reintroduction of violence into the space as terrorism so you can paint the whole of the colonized subject as terrorists and, therefore, not civilians

[ghelgheli]

when liberal democracy "civilizes" it is building town halls and district courts with rebar made from ore that the colonized and imperialized bled and died for. when it "educates" it uses textbooks printed with the wealth of the exploited that write of their barbarism and non-existence. when it raises hospitals and clinics for its own citizens it uses technologies that it coercively and fatally "tests" on the people it now puts up every wall to keep out. when those same people choose to throw themselves against the barricades rather than be made into foundation for "civilization" the liberal democracy knows it will be shown for the flimsy farce it is. "terror" here is just when the truth is brought home to where it was supposed to be rewritten and forgotten.

Its funny how this post is just a generalization of colonialism and a certain subsection decided its about them. Very telling.

some royal jewels were stolen from the louvre which is unfortunate for historical reasons but you gotta appreciate a classic crime. so many crimes are online these days it’s nice to see heist culture is still alive

[jameskimgordon]

It is morally right to steal French cultural artifacts. They've argued for centuries that its not wrong to steal

it's crazy that you used to be able to look up specific clips from a tv show on youtube. now regardless of your search terms you get 6 unrelated promo reels from the show's official account, 6 unrelated clips of literally anything else youtube thinks you might click on, 6 unrelated promo reels from the network's official account, 6 more completely arbitrary recommendations, 6 show trailers and publicity videos of the actors by content mills called 'pop glutton' and 'comedy chunk' and finally raw gameplay footage of a mobile freemium slots game and a video essay called Liberals Can't Belive It: 10 Times Hitler Was Shockingly Woke

you know the internet is dying when you can't even search glup shitto funniest moments and find a single relevant result

[mortalityplays]

our data wizards crunched the numbers, and they discovered something truly incredible: users spend up to 10x longer on the website when they can't find what the fuck they came looking for

you joke but this is literally what google realised and changed with google search and youtube.

The Man Who Killed Google Search

Wanna listen to this story instead? Check out this week's Better Offline podcast, "The Man That Destroyed Google Search," available on Apple

profit projections looked like it wasn’t going to be infinite growth for a quarter, and so the head of ads ousted one of the founders and implemented drastic measures to increase search queries. these measures were: making their services worse. this is NOT an exaggeration. it’s actually crazy how anti-consumer google is as a company now.

I'm reading again about the early days of the 1948 Nakba, and I'm just... at loss for words (cw: rape, child murder)

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, by Ilan Pappé (2006, p. 90)

And, continuing on p. 91:

[heritageposts]

Ezra Yachin, that 95-year-old IDF reservist that Israel recently flaunted in the media as an 'inspiration for the troops,' participated in this very massacre.

And this is him now, 75+ years later...

"Be triumphant and finish them off and don’t leave anyone behind. Erase the memory of them," Yachin said while addressing Israeli troops this week, in a video that has since gone viral. "Erase them, their families, mothers and children. These animals can no longer live." "Every Jew with a weapon should go out and kill them. If you have an Arab neighbour, don’t wait, go to his home and shoot him."

This is for people of Israel/anyone who supports Israel/anyone who wants to stay "neutral" about this genocide, remember that this is how your fav "defenders/heroes/government servants are supposed to be responsible" are talking about innocent Palestinians civilians:

If you choose not to speak on this matter, if you choose to not speak up for Palestinians, then be well assured, 100% guaranteed that what's happening in Palestine can (and will if you let Israel get away with MASS MURDER) also just as easily happen to you, and then there will be other people who would stay "neutral" and silent on this matter.

If you think that the reason you're not taking sides is because you don't really know the situation that well, then EDUCATE yourself. It is your responsibility, as a fucking human, to do your research to stop and prevent such atrocities from being committed.

(I know, I FUCKING KNOW I have at least a few dozen followers from Israel/support Israel/ZIONISTS who are reading this and I know that your eyes may be blind, but your hearts aren't. Don't be a hypocrite, and don't be ignorant)

“Where was the statement from William and Kate when Israel was bombing Syria after they got hit by an earthquake or at any point for all these years that Israel has kept control over stolen Palestine territories?” - Submitted by Anonymous

“I liked W&K but now need to think twice as they are clearly zionist-sympathisers. Never uttered a word about Palestinian sufferings all these years and this time, they released a formal statement saying Israel is exercising "right of self defence", as if what Palestinians doing isn't self defence when their lands get stolen, encroached, colonized and their own people being harassed, kidnapped, arrested and killed ON A DAILY BASIS by the Israeli establishment. After all, they are descendants of the British empire, built on colonialism, so maybe they cannot comprehend what the Palestinians have been dealing with ever since their own country helped create Israel on Palestinian lands.” - Submitted by Anonymous

Reblog, click the picture, and prepare for battle.

after a while i became convinced that the words were mocking me

[whisperrun-blog]

Nothing happened. 

I WAS PROMISED A BATTLE

*throws down gauntlet*

Edit: Went back. This is the best thing to happen to my dashboard ever.

[whisperrun-blog]

Reblogging again because my followers need to see this. To be clear, rebog, go to your actual blog, then click the picture.

Chris Kaba was shot dead by London Met police in Streatham on 5 September. He was unarmed and his car was blocked in by police, and his car was found with a single bullet-hole at head height. He was 24 and about to become a dad. He was also known as Madix from the drill group 67.

A march in his memory was held on 10 September and wrongly reported by news media as a march in memory of the Queen.

If you're angry that the the media's obsession with the Queen's death is keeping news like this out of the headlines, the solution is to keep talking about it.

NYPD arrest non-violent protestors outside the Met Gala, including BLM protestors. NYPD used the notoriously brutal SRG to arrest non-violent protestors. This occurred outside the ultra-wealthy fundraising event whose theme this year was "In America".

CashApp $4OurLiberation to bail out those arrested, including Ella, pictured above

Izumi Curtis from Fullmetal Alchemist is a milf!

I feel like it was a pretty major sore spot for her—and plot point—that she technically isn’t a milf

this might come across as anti capitalist but,,,,,, i want to enjoy life

[vendetta06]

at this point how are you not anti-capitalist? don’t you think it’s messed up that people can work 2 jobs but are living paycheck to paycheck but are supposed to have thousands in savings, and be expected to pay for healthcare, food, and rent? how about the fact that you can probably never own a house in your lifetime, and if you want to live away from your family you will need to share a place with 6 roommates just to keep things afloat? does it make you angry that you’re dying for a living? don’t you think it’s mind boggling how the last time there was a technological space race it was between two super power countries but recently it has between the 2 richest men in the world? don’t you think the wealth gap between average person is far too wide? don’t you feel angry reading about “self made” success stories about how “hard” they worked when there is an obvious inequality in the opportunities they had in the first place? doesn’t it make you scared that the earth is being destroyed by exploitative capitalism? doesn’t it make you angry?
