I see we’ve reached the “blame your failures on communist subterfuge” phase of the AI business plan

[hikikomoricomplex]

The AI business plan, for reference:

1. Promise everything.

2. Piss off everyone.

3. Deliver nothing.

4. Blame asians?

not even two years after the 2024 racist riots and attempted pogroms, we are back to more racist riots and attempted pogroms.

a mosque in scotland had to be put into lockdown. they are going door-to-door with hit lists and addresses in northern ireland, setting houses alight. they firebombed an imam's house in manchester. people of colour are being targeted and attacked by racist mobs in the street in broad daylight.

and instead of widespread condemnation or wall-to-wall coverage, the UK media and political establishment is filling air time talking about the "legitimate concerns" people have about "illegal migrants"

i do wanna say for those that haven't heard, that yesterday there were anti-immigration marches planned in multiple major cities in the uk and there were some extremely successful counter protests stopping them.

https://socialistworker.co.uk/anti-racism/anti-fascists-refuse-to-let-fascists-take-the-streets-across-britain/

(i am not a fan of the swp but this source is accurate to my knowledge)

in all of these cities the right were outnumbered by the anti-fascists. in some of them, by the thousands. Stand Up To Racism's instagram has a decent amount of footage from multiple cities.

the major news sources reporting on it aren't describing just how successful the counter protests were, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. in a lot of places, the right didn't cause nearly as much damage as they planned to and their marches were successfully cut off before they got more than a mile from their starting point.

all this to say, there are movements against the rising fascism, and you can join them. these counter protests were very well advertised and there will be more. i want to encourage people to see that this is happening and, instead of getting all doomer about it, join the counter movements in their areas. it is working and you can help.

in more pleasant news: this year is seeing the biggest humpback migration in Australian history, bigger than it was PRE whaling. That's right, there are more humpbacks migrating off the coast of Australia than there were BEFORE industrial whaling started.

A huge, fat W for environmentalists and Greenies. what an achievement

[lumsel]

we did it! we saved the fucking whales!!!!

[the-tao-of-fandom]

These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there are 50,000 of them

Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is

Child killed after officer fires upon car following reported shoplifting at a Walmart in Mississippi: Police

The shooting occurred Sunday afternoon outside a Walmart in Senatobia, according to the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation.

literally yesterday. all because someone called the police about DIAPERS being shoplifted.

Black children deserve to live and be safe around ALL people, around the world but something so simple is routinely denied to us on the daily by people more concerned with making sure their group doesn’t become the next underclass in which the entire modern world operates on its dehumanization.

im so sorry to this baby, their family, and every Black family dealing with the horrors of antiblackness, having our freedom or lives stolen from us every day.

meanwhile, LAPD shot and killed a Black woman’s dog after being called by her neighbor for being “too loud” during the Knick’s game, one of the biggest basketball event in years.

i seen more comments by nonblack ppl showing sympathy for the dog than the Black woman in the video literally hugging her beloved pet’s dead body in tears while a mob of LAPD officers stand around and watch her dispassionately.

what the fuck.

I love that a lion with an eagle's head and wings is such a well-known mythical beast but apparently the English language can only agree on a grand total of 3 out of 7 letters in its name.

[quietsamurai98]

Regex that ought to match (most) spelling variations of this mythical beast's name:

gr[iuy](?:ff|ph)[eioy]n

[artemisonahunt]

I write it either as gryffin or griffin

But

Gruphon, gryffon, griphen (sounds like the plane, grippen, lmao), gruffin and others would be enlightened spellings

[asmuchasidliketo]

@artemisonahunt this one is for you

if you're having trouble sleeping the best you can do is put a bright object close to your face and look at it for at least 30 minutes. if that doesn't work you can close your eyes but make sure to think really hard about a bunch of bullshit

I know this is literally impossible without making the Patagotitan/Argentinosaurus huge or the Bee Hummingbird smaller than a lego stud, but I still dream of an accurate dinosaur toy line that includes birds where everything is to scale with each other. it's the dream, okay. I want to put a tiny lego stud sized bee hummingbird toy on top of a titanosaur head. it's the damn dream.

[a-dinosaur-a-day]

like. I'm aware of the problem in my idea. I'm very aware. I want it anyway. I desire the chaos. I desire the educational tool this would be. I demand the insanity.

[delgado-master]

If a bee hummingbird is 5mm, argentinosaurus would be 3 meters big :)

[a-dinosaur-a-day]

I do not in fact see a problem with this

[plushypretzel]

Using the female bee hummingbird (larger, 6.1cm) and the smallest estimate for argentinosaurus (30m long) we can get it down to a ratio of 5mm:2.45m, which might be difficult to fit through the door but, if sold in pieces and assuming you don't have low ceilings, should at least fit in your house

Okay but I get this. All of you worms who have things blocked on your wifi or whatever and have IbisPaint this is how you do it

Open IbisPaint go to a canvas (any canvas, or make. a new one)

Select the font tool (if you don’t know what or where that is, press the tool icon (normally a paint brush or eraser) and press the T button

From there you should be able to create a text box (writing is not important…). Find the font button and add a new font. I can’t remember what it’s called but you’ll know when you see it

It’ll automatically search for you “free fonts.” Do not follow this. Your app is misdirecting you. Instead search up whatever it is you’re looking for in the search bar, and that should work

Knowledge should not be trapped behind bars, bend and break them until you can grasp it

Every day i think about those black musicians whose songs were made into covers by white people and now everyone thinks that these are the originals. Youtube comment sections are full of people like "is this what it feels like to find out you're adopted?" instead of celebrating and promoting the original creators of the songs.

Little Eva - Loco-Motion

Martha & The Vandellas - Dancing in the Streets

Jarvis, pull up that variable meme.

[maplecinnamonbun]

i’m reminded of the developer of a mapping software who had a variable named ‘legend_handles’ that got refactored into ‘leg_handles,’ ‘leg_hands,’ and finally ‘feet’

"crochet can't be made by machines" went from being a cool fun fact to being a call to action of "so if you see mass manufactured crochet in Target, that was made by a person and they were underpaid and you should boycott it" which is true, it was made by a person, but EVERY item of clothing you own (that you did not purchase from a company using ethical labor) was made by a person being underpaid (at *best*.)

Sewing machines are operated by *people*. Knitting machines are operated by *people*. Yes lots of the process is automated but you cannot tell a machine "make me a t-shirt" or "make me a knit cardigan".

Higher awareness of fast fashion, and the true human labor and abuse behind it, is GREAT, but let's not pretend that the crochet hat in target is THE problem. Every article of clothing in target is the problem. "All clothes are made by people" is the jumping off point here into understanding this issue it's not just crochet it's the whole thing ahhhhHHHHHHHHHH

A large part of the reason families were bigger in the past was because marital rape was not considered rape and birth control/abortion methods were ineffective, dangerous and/or illegal. We can dance around this and act like our great great great grandmothers just loveddddd being mamas so much that they decided out of their own free will to have 11 children. We can pretend that they DECIDED to have big families because it was a financially advantageous decision so they could have more labor around the farm. But a lot of children in the past were fundamentally unwanted and not conceived out of love, children were not a choice women got to make. We need to admit that and stop pretending historical women were inherently more maternal because they were impregnated at the age of 15 and kept having babies until they were 40. That did not make them loving mothers, it did not make them ‘the divine feminine’ and it sure did not make them happy.
