the thing about the You Don't Have To Hand It To The Pope situation that makes me really insane is the sheer number of people going "oh okay so now the pope is responsible for everything bad the catholic church has ever done? all of that is his fault?🙄🙄🙄" as if we're talking about some random schmuck with a rosary and not the world's #1 head catholic bitch in charge in his fancy little dipshit hat sitting on a throne made of pilfered riches and the bones of people who were killed for his god. like yeah actually that guy kind of does need to be held accountable for the past and present crimes of the organization he's in charge of actually. that's sort of what being the boss entails.

If this page suddenly goes silent one day, know that my brother Samer didn’t make it. I will never forget those who saw him suffering from severe bombing injuries, lacking his vital medications, yet chose silence and kept scrolling.

[hazemsuhail]

I feel completely shattered and deeply ashamed begging strangers for help every single day. This endless nightmare has stripped us of everything, forcing me to sacrifice even my own dignity just to keep my brother and my family alive.

[hazemsuhail]

​I want nothing from this world except to see Samer healthy and free of pain, and to save my family from this slow death. Please donate so we can afford his essential psychiatric and medical treatments before it’s too late.

Please Please donate GoFundMe

Why do elite Democrats fear Hasan Piker? | Bhaskar Sunkara

The party establishment rushed to condemn the Twitch streamer after news of his alliance with a Michigan Senate candidate

It’s worth reflecting on the power of the respective sides of this controversy. Cory Booker, for example, is a United States senator. Hasan Piker is a guy with a laptop and an audience. Booker supports a bill that would unconstitutionally ban boycotts of Israel and has repeatedly voted to arm a country that has killed tens of thousands and leveled the Gaza Strip. But a streamer who says strident things about it from his living room is somehow beyond the pale? The double standard tells you everything about what the establishment considers dangerous – not the exercise of actual state power, but the existence of a popular voice they can’t control. On Pod Save America, Booker said he’d never even heard of Piker before this past week. This is revealing in a way Booker probably didn’t intend. A senator who aspires to lead the party can’t be bothered to know who commands the attention of millions of the young voters he claims to want back, but he can be mobilized overnight to condemn the guy. His priority clearly isn’t engaging with the audience, though he does find time to “text message back and forth like teenagers” with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s president. After 2024, Democrats conducted an anguished post-mortem about why young men were abandoning the party. Pundits filled columns wondering where the party’s Joe Rogan was – someone with cultural reach who could talk to disaffected men on their own terms. As Ryan Zickgraf pointed out, they got one. And the party’s first instinct was to try to cancel him. What this episode makes painfully clear is that for too many leading Democrats, the priority is defeating progressives within their own ranks and triangulating their way back to power behind a well-heeled professional base.

Western journalists feel that there are no consequences for them, so they have started publishing provocative or inhumane statements in this way.

[wolf-aid]

Look, it's clear that when you're suffering, you're not allowed anything pleasant, peaceful, or even a little bit of luxury—because people immediately decide that "the situation isn't that bad" and tell you to relax. As if trying to experience simple, normal moments erases the pain and suffering. It's truly infuriating logic.

[wolf-aid]

Guys, no one has looked upon us with compassion since October 7th. Gaza has been relentlessly bombed. Hospitals have been targeted and besieged. Water has been cut off, electricity cut off, food prevented, and people have lived with hunger, thirst, and fear every day. Millions have been forced to flee from place to place, carrying what little life they have left in their hands. And even amidst all this, the world is still debating whether the suffering in Gaza is "real enough." My family and I are suffering greatly and need help. Please donate and share this post.

Even for a moderate CIA dem, this week felt like a hell of a 180.

Cuba has run out of diesel and oil, energy minister says

The minister says the situation in Cuba is "extremely tense", as a US-led blockade of oil to the country causes widespread power cuts.

Fucking sickening, heartbreaking, disgusting. Hospitals, ambulances, water pumps, so much infrastructure shut down and so many lives hurt and lost because of it, all of this at the whim of the world's most brutal empire because they can't stand to have their will resisted so close to their shores by a society that has chosen time and time again to stand proud for the dream of a better world, a world without this blood-soaked hegemony.

I don't think there's any way to help Cuba get fuel directly, but links below if you want to help them with other goods in this terrible time

Always bear in mind that there is absolutely no legitimate evidence that Luigi was actually the one who killed the insurance company guy.

[theconcealedweapon]

Of course he wasn't. He was at a party with me that day.

[tiny-space-whale]

No but like literally, actually. All bits aside.

He didn't do it.

The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.

Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?

From the moment of his arrest, even left-of-center media has been presuming his guilt without examining anything (e.g. calling him "the killer" instead of "alleged" or "accused") and then when I say he didn't do it, the nearest person chimes in with some quip that tells me they think he did do it but should go free anyway. Don't get me wrong, I would have the same attitude if he had done it. But he didn't. It makes me feel like the only sane person in the world, even among my staunchly leftist friends.

[wolf-aid]

We need more of this. Public shaming in front of their families. The nerve of the war-criminal: please don't tell my children I played a huge role in the mass-murder of children.

There are children in Gaza who need help. Donate if you can You're the only hope They need education, donate and share.

[wolf-aid]

The Minister of Education and Higher Education in Gaza visited us and assessed the school's situation. He said that if desks and chairs were provided, the school would open, but we urgently need more donations to make that happen. Think for a moment about the children of Gaza who have been deprived of education for years. Donate if possible

Guys, last donation 8 days ago. That's pretty much too much. And only we need 50 euros to reach 5,000. Please donate if you can. We're very close. I really think I'm the first learner.

[homunculus-argument]

Hey btw, here's a piece of life advice:

If you know what you'd have to do to solve a problem, but you just don't want to do it, your main problem isn't the problem itself. Your problem is figuring out how to get yourself to do the solution.

If your problem is not eating enough vegetables, the problem you should be solving is "how do I make vegetables stop being yucky". If your problem is not getting enough exercise, the problem you should be solving is "how do I make exercise stop sucking ass". You're not supposed to just be doing things that are awful and suck all the time forever, you're supposed to figure out how to make it stop being so awful all the time.

I used to hate wearing sunscreen because it's sticky and slimy and disgusting and it feels bad and it smells bad, so I neglected to wear it even if I needed to. Then I found one that isn't like that, and doesn't smell and feel gross. Problem solved.

There is no correct way to live that's just supposed to suck and feel bad all the time. You're allowed to figure out how to make it not suck so bad.

Wait.

Before you scroll, please read this.

My fundraiser was shut down.

Everything we had disappeared overnight.

I’m a mother trying to protect my children in a place where safety doesn’t exist.

They still ask me for simple things food, warmth, a future and I don’t have easy answers.

So I started over.

A new link. From zero. Again.

I’m not asking you for miracles.

Just don’t ignore this.

Reblog.

That’s it.

Because one share can reach someone who can actually help us survive.

If you’ve ever cared about anyone, anywhere let this be the moment you act.

Look, it's simple. If a person has to actively work to make money, they're not "the rich" and they're not the problem. A surgeon making $200k a year still stops making money if they stop showing up to do surgery, because they're still selling their labor. The radical discrepancies in how we value different skills are certainly a problem, but the guy who makes money when he doesn't even get out of bed is the one making money on the value of other people's labor.

imo the term "walkable" in "walkable cities" should be understood to mean "wheelchair accessible" as well, not just literally "possible to walk in". the act of walking in a city doesn't automatically make it walkable
