Las summer I was in a beach in Barcelona planning videos and asked a woman if she could take my pic and she kindly agreed. Mins after I realized we’re opposite as I was fully naked and she was fully covered as she was Muslim.
Then, I said to myself this is the world I want to live, where each person can decide what makes them happy and comfortable, where I can sit at the beach fully naked and the woman fully covered and we’re both enjoying the beach without being offended, for me that’s freedom.

Boston Dynamics robot dogs and their lookalikes aren't "cute robot puppies". They are police and army tools. There's nothing fucking cute about them, not even when they "dance".

Excellent.

Reason To Hate Capitalism #233 - We have solutions to our worst problems but they don’t happen because they don’t make Capitalists enough money #capitalism #anticapitalism

The people who deported innocent men to a torture prison in El Salvador didn't get hired yesterday. The people rounding up parents and kids who have been in the US for decades didn't get hired yesterday. The people who have seized multiple European tourists and put them through hell didn't get hired yesterday.

The Musk-Trump administration hasn't had the time to entirely turn over the ranks of yankee law enforcement, they didn't fire all the good cops and replace then with klansmen. The people doing this were by and large already there, they are the same people. They were always ready and willing, even enthusiastic, to do this.

The next time there is a social movement dedicated to taking power back for communities from law enforcement, remember this. Remember this is always who they were, this is always what these institutions were. When we entrust the power and safety of our communities to an elevated warrior class, that class of people becomes separate from our communities and develops a taste for power.

The idea behind banning "biological men" (uggggghhhh) from women's sports necessarily requires a belief that women are naturally weaker and inferior and that women's sports are the lesser, "easier" version.

Meanwhile, in real life—as female athletes are finally being allowed by their trainers to eat food and build muscle—it's turning out that there's a lot of conventional "wisdom" about the limits of women's abilities that is just *wrong*.

It's so strange to watch the liberal response to events. It's full of paradoxes where they want to prevent something terrible but preserve the society that makes that thing possible, and build new things to make it even more likely.

They want to prevent genocide but also preserve American empire and build more weapons and police.

They want to prevent global warming but also preserve cheap heating and build more things out of concrete.

I'm just sitting here watching the dismantling of the US federal govt and I'm repeatedly surprised when liberals are equally distraught about something that will kill a million poor people as they are about something that will reduce US military influence or something that will slow down scientific discovery.

Here's a #coyote!

Did you know that the concept of the carbon footprint was invented by the advertising agency Ogilvy?

It was designed to shift responsibility for the impact of climate change from the petrochemical industry onto individual people in the minds of the general public.

It’s worked rather well, hasn’t it?

Brooke takes pictures that really show my fucking height

this... does not convey the 80s miami cocaine dealer vibe appropriately tbh, but it's also the funniest one she got and shows off the back of the jacket

Let’s disappear people to foreign prisons based on allegations they committed crimes isn’t a slippery slope, you’ve already rolled all the way down the mountain.

lmfao the pockets of my purple shorts are big enough i can comfortably put my steam dick in one to take it down the stairs

e-ink devices from the alternate timeline where obsessive nerds in academia and industry collaborate for ten years perfecting UI and UX designs optimized for e-ink

• adding pixels looks nice
• removing pixels leaves garbage

it's 2025 and i still see stuff like left-aligned "25% complete" in a proportional-spaced font, that updates every 1%, so the word "complete" vibrates horizontally which is not only unreadable but leaves eink pixel detritus everywhere

Tom Homan, Trump’s aggressively fascist “border czar” and a walking block of processed ham, was first appointed to run ICE’s deportation efforts in 2013 by…Barack Obama.

None of this just suddenly appeared when Trump took office in January.
