I’m no fan of AI, but AI David Attenborough narrating a Cybertruck’s symbiotic lifestyle is pretty damn funny.

Ukrainian #fencer Olha Kharlan auctions gold-winning saber to fund cutting-edge military equipment

The saber that secured #Ukraine gold in Paris #Olympics will now fund “ShaBlia” turrets, remote-controlled systems for machine guns. These turrets can protect machine gunners by allowing remote operation up to 100 meters (328 feet) away.

The new well-deserved VP Harris cover of TIME. — For those wondering, the sound you hear is a toddler temper tantrum at Mar-a-Lago.

You ever think about how words are just organized mouth noises?

One of Germany’s largest employers announces to boycott #Tesla because of Elon Musk’s behaviour:

"Elon Musk makes no secret of his support for Donald Trump. Trump has repeatedly described climate change as a hoax - this stance is in stark contrast to Tesla's mission to contribute to environmental protection through the production of electric cars

For this reason, ROSSMANN will no longer purchase Tesla vehicles for its fleet in the future."

Shitposter: There are two wolves inside you…

RFK Jr: I know, I found their carcasses on the side of the road and ate them.

Just realizing what it means to be marginalized: for my whole life, my mere existence has offended someone. When I was younger it was because I was not white, not Christian (the first could not be changed, but the second caused a lot of my “friends” to try to baptize me). Now it’s because I’m a woman that is a successful computer scientist. If someone’s mere existence challenges your world view/makes you uncomfortable or upset, you might be a bad person!!

@JonChevreau While the article is from Oct 2023, it could not be more relevant #today.

At this point, #Twitter is unquestionably a pro-nazi festering #cesspool and the #algorithm ensures everyone sees the toxic content.

There are zero reasons to stay and every reason to leave.

I'm 3rd generation British and have had problems with racists all my life.

But these Nazi riots don't scare me, they make me happy.

Because a small group of racists protesting just shows how small they are.

Months ago, they were in Government. That was scary.

Today in Bristol, a lynch mob of far right scum bags targeted a hotel housing refugees. It was not the police who prevented them from reaching the building and unleashing violence/attempting to murder them, but a large group of antifascists. The videos look very intense, there was a lot of fighting as the small number of police present stood by and watched. Folks on the ground reported that police on horses didn’t arrive until the far right was roughly 15 feet away from the front entrance.

The antifascists held their ground and bravely put their bodies on the line to protect the people inside. Aside from their often thankless bravery, this kind of work is extremely scary and causes trauma that remains with you for a lifetime. But it is *the* only way to get rid of fascists. I know it’s not for everyone, it shouldn’t be, but it’s necessary work. Scary times, but folks like these always give me hope.
