@jollygreentexan thank you for posting this. I was in a spiral tonight and this came across my feed & reminded me there is still something to hope for in this life and a future of rewilding… may they & many others roam free again someday 🥹

saw an old map of the US and now i’m getting emotional over this part of texas that’s labeled “herds of buffaloes and wild horses”

@MorePerfectUS why on earth would anyone give credibility to lobbyists in the first place ??? 🤨

EXCLUSIVE: @AOC calls for a congressional investigation into the impact of data centers. We took her to meet residents in a Trump +50 county in Georgia whose well water was polluted by Meta’s massive data center. “That absolutely merits...national congressional investigation."

Once you have labeled disabled people as a burden, you have devalued more than 25% of the population.

@elfjcgc @dieworkwear (That said the lions obviously do not consent to that symbolism, but in this their portrayal can be critiqued through Marxist analysis 🙂)

@elfjcgc @dieworkwear depends on the cat type! Lions are often tied to feudalism and empire for example, it covers many types of relations/symbols/systems!

Marx dreamed of a world where you wouldn't be pigeonholed by your job. As he put it, a man could hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, and critique ideas at dinner without ever being a hunter, fisherman, or critic. Thus far, only AI has lived up to this dream, as it's employed to make art and bomb countries without ever being an artist or a pilot.

Very interesting piece by @KennyTorrella at @voxdotcom about how Americans overwhelmingly disapprove of factory farms yet don't see eating factory farmed meat as a moral problem: vox.com/future-perfect…

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

Here’s a printable version of it for distribution!!

If the average American like myself made what Congress makes, I could pay off all my debt and live a life I never dreamed of. How about you?

Mossad booby‑trapped 21,000 communication devices with explosives, sent them to Lebanon through shell companies, and detonated them remotely — killing dozens (including children) and injuring over 3,400. • The devices exploded in people's hands, on their faces, and in their pockets. • They did it over two consecutive days. • On day two, the explosives went off while Lebanese families were at the funerals of those killed the day before. • The attack inflicted roughly 3,000 injuries in a single hour on the first day alone. This terrorist attack was the largest simultaneous mass‑detonation in history by the number of individual bombs. 'israelis' joke about it to this day. If you didn't boycott Apple for the Congo, boycott it now.

Not sure how many people outside the industry realize the streaming studios have deliberately destroyed the US film and TV industry and tens of thousands of film crew members are losing their homes and retirements. It's a total collapse of the industry, and it's by design.

The only data centers we need

@ohgoditsmatthew I absolutely care and yet he still remains the best choice lol. Criticism is important, doesn’t mean they won’t win.

NO ONE CARES

love is blind poland is possibly the first time not a single couple feels worth rooting for, also these men are mean 🫩

@diamondback_xx @OrevaZSN Not just aftermath, it can be ongoing. See for example cats, dogs, donkeys, etc in Palestine which is ongoing

@lovelitlib @OrevaZSN Are you referring specifically to the aftermath of war/battlegrounds?

Animals are alive. Animals feel the effects of war. Animals feel the effects of climate change. Animals have feelings. Animals’ lives matter.

@diamondback_xx @OrevaZSN starvation, lack of medical supplies and care, they endure all the damage done to their caregivers and habitat. It’s horrific and often unending

@OrevaZSN How the fuck do animals "feel the effects" of war? Please do explain.

Please stop comparing dying from poverty to Darwin’s “survival of the fittest.” Poverty is a social construct driven by wealth hoarding in the post industrial age, not by any natural shortage of resources.

community college challenges every classist notion of education and academia and having access to it has changed my life. it should be preserved, supported, and destigmatized with everything we have. hard to name a more precious educational resource for those over 18.
