I think it says something about ABA as an industry that they just straight up refused to classify the Feminine Boy Experiment as unscientific and abusive.

it seems like every year, at its end, I say “well at least that’s over. now hopefully the next will be vastly kinder” and then it simply is not. a recurrent cycle of bad events and pain in a downward spiral. enough connecting events to make it all feel familiar enough for deja vu but dissimilar enough to where you don’t adapt to the difficulty. wounds never healing. doctors with bad news and somber faces. waiting rooms and anemic lighting. chip and joanna mute in a corner fixing another home into a postmodern gray cube. tiger in a cage. you’ll do this forever, you know. until you don’t.

as a cis guy, when presented with the "99% you get a ton of money, 1% you turn into a girl" it honestly would be dumb to not hit that button until it breaks. like ok now i have 100 bajillion dollars and gender dysphoria. big deal. i have all the money in the world to turn me back into a guy. like with that kind of money i could have obama do me a phalloplasty. he wouldnt be able to do it as he isnt a surgeon but the point still stands

brian eno’s open letter to Microsoft from his instagram earlier

It depends on how he did it.

If the assassin waited outside the Jewish museum ready to kill any Jewish person who walked out of said museum, and just so happened to have killed two Israeli state Embassy Staff, then that’s antisemitism.

If the assassin knew that they were Israeli State Embassy Staff and tracked them down specifically because they were Israeli State Embassy and killed them because they were Israeli State Embassy, then that’s just blowback.

Regardless, the media is going to call it antisemitism and DC Metro is about to go stupid and even more draconian because of this.

[ubernegro]

And one of the victims was Christian IDF.

[ubernegro]

And the shooter has been identified and has cited Gaza as his motive.

The Israel Embassy Shooter Manifesto

900-word document cites Gaza as motive

Turns out it was latter. Dude spun the block on two Israeli Embassy staffers for Gaza.

And it got funny!

From German Christian to Israeli diplomat – the extraordinary life of terror victim

Yarón Lischinsky, a German-born evangelical Christian who embraced Israel as his home, was killed alongside his fiancée in a terrorist attac

My man was a German Christian who served in the IOF. His grandfather was probably a Nazi, and dedicated his service to help push Palestinians out. He even settled in Israel.

The epitome of Zionism.

Some colleagues and I wrote an article explaining what's wrong with congress' massive reconciliation bill being debated right now, from three different perspectives: 1) economic justice, 2) anti-militarism, and 3) immigrant rights.

We also created an action form that makes it easy for you to send your members of congress an email asking them to reject the bill.

What you need to know about the budget reconciliation bill

Economic inequality and military spending are at historic highs. Nevertheless, the U.S. House of Representatives has passed a budget reconciliation proposal that would take money away from low-income people and working families and redistribute it to wealthy oligarchs and weapons companies.    This unconscionable bill would fund tax breaks for the rich, military weaponry, and detention centers. We must demand that Congress reject this proposal, along with any other bill that places greed, exclusion, and militarism above our rights to healthy food, clean water, health care, education, affordable housing, and good jobs for all.  ...Where will the money for these new benefits for the wealthy come from? Congress plans to make enormous cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other critical programs that are relied upon by people all over the country. One estimate suggests that this bill will take $1,000 a year away from the poorest people in the U.S. while giving a shocking $390,000 to the richest 0.1%. 

Tell your member of congress to reject the reconciliation bill!

China: exploited by the west to produce their goods

the West: China is POLLUTING the world, they're DESTROYING the earth, they're the SINGLE BIGGEST contributor to climate change,,,

China: actually does something about pollution and renewable energy, the data shows they're actually working

the West: they're LYING, you can't believe them, even if they're true it only means their country is COLLAPSING,,,

bitch

i'm starting to think the west doesn't give a fuck about the health of this world at all. In fact, they'd rather it burn down, drink poison, and see their own children die just to Own China

do you think that a certain genre of queer person is so obsessively weird about pride flag discourse becuase their flags fill the gaping hole in their personality where a hogwarts house used to be

I suppose? You can just replace that with what kind of bender tribe you'd be, or if you're a Jedi or a Sith.

If you have been parroting what this dead nazi was saying I hope this is the wakeup call that you cannot help commit genocide forever with impunity. One day someone with a gun may be so disgusted by your conduct that they make it your problem.

Microsoft Bans the Word “Palestine” in Internal Emails

After days of disruption by pro-Palestine activists at its Build developer conference, No Azure for Apartheid said, Microsoft made it imposs

Microsoft has quietly implemented a policy blocking employee emails containing the words “Palestine,” “Gaza,” or “genocide” on its internal Exchange servers, according to No Azure for Apartheid, a group of pro-Palestine Microsoft employees. The automated filter, which silently prevents such emails from reaching recipients was first detected on Wednesday—just after Microsoft’s Build developer conference faced repeated disruptions by the activist group. Microsoft has been rocked by internal dissent over its collaboration with the Israeli military and government amid the ongoing assault on Gaza. The company has faced disruptions to its events, including protests from employees over its provision of cloud services and other critical infrastructure used by the Israeli military. Now, the company appears to be tightening its grip on internal discourse. The terms “Israel” and “P4lestine” do not trigger a block, the group said. Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

[...]

Just days after the October 7, 2023 attack and the start of Israeli offensive in Gaza, Microsoft started pitching to the Israeli military, anticipating major military spending. Over the next few months, Israeli military became one of Microsoft’s top 500 global customers.

The diplomat for the Israeli embassy who just got hilariously shot and killed in DC, which every politician in both parties is calling an antisemitic hate crime against a jewish person, is in fact a white American Christian

After a couple of beers anything is possible...

[furryprovocateur]

it really is insane how little you hear about "america has the world's highest prison population by such a significant margin that it would be seen as excessively over-the-top if it was used in fiction"

[furryprovocateur]

before you say "4% isn't that big of a difference between the US and China"

for anyone bad at math 1.4 billion divided by 340 million is about 4. we have a fourth the population of china but a higher prison population and a higher incarceration rate by far. this is just widely publicly available information that you're supposed to just accept. it's not supposed to make you go insane.

[luulapants]

The US has the largest prison population AND the highest per capita incarceration rate in the world. The US is home to 4.2% of the world's population but 20% of its incarcerated population. More than 0.6% of the US population is incarcerated.

Men make up 93% of the US prison population, but despite this, the US accounts for 30% of the GLOBAL population of incarcerated women.

Housing insecurity is the most significant predictor of incarceration with 22% of state prisoners experiencing it shortly before incarceration.

12% of state prisoners in the US were unhoused before their 16th birthday.

68% of US state prisoners were first incarcerated before their 16th birthday.

More than half of people in prisons and jails in the US have a mental illness.

Cognitive learning disabilities occur in state prisons at nearly 500% the national rate.
