This is an incredibly minor pet peeve, but it bothers me when people refer to the AfD as neo-Nazis. They aren't neo-Nazis, they're just Nazis. Like, they have direct connections with the original Nazis because denazification was so incomplete, they're not like a separate new group or whatever they're just Nazis still. There's new people, but this would be like arguing that today's Republicans are neo-Republicans because the party isn't made up entirely of its founders. The AfD is the Nazi party, just the current branding.

Authoritarianism is just domestic abuse writ large. It uses the same tools and the same logic and, honestly, the perpetrators are often the same damn people.

children deserve access to all forms of healthcare for free without judgement and no matter what their fucking parents want. that includes transition, abortion and vaccines

I'm not sure how to feel about having all of my feelings about various siloed tech platforms, operating systems, and tech companies more broadly so fully and brutally borne out.

Like I hated FashBook long before it enshittified, I dumped reddit when it started blocking third-party API access, I stopped using Google years ago. Been using Linux since 2012.

I wish my choices were just down to me caring about privacy, owning my own data/software etc.

But JFC this ongoing abuse and exploitation of the users of these platforms really makes me wish I was just being weirdly eccentric rather than (accidentally) prescient.

Has Nvidia considered cutting down on lattes and avocado toast?

Got to respect AOC…

“When a prison camp opens in your town, when a dreamer is disappeared from your classroom, when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution, they will all say they didn’t know this was coming. I want the American people to know that they did.” #press #freedom #politics

That’s honestly the thing that makes me most sad about white Trans culture, most especially white Trans femme culture. White Trans girls will be the first to jump up and down about how oppressed they are and will have never read a single piece of Black or Indigenous feminist writing. They will be the first to say “cis people act like we don’t exist” and yet have never talked to a Latine person outside of the service industry.

And I’m not even mad about it, it is what it is. I’m just sad because I know that in that space, I’m invisible and disposable and the underside of the bus is just sitting there waiting for me.

White people in America,

I want you to know that what you are experiencing now is called Tuesday for many of us.

This fear you feel? This knowledge that the system will destroy you if you are seen? This inability to trust the police or any figure in power?

You are suddenly coming to this terrible understanding that laws are created intentionally to make it difficult for you to even exist.

These are the conditions Black Americans have *always* lived with. Always.

Ok people what shell should i run on my new BSD install.

In case it's not clear, when a sociopath explains away bad behavior by saying it was "just a joke", they don't mean they were making a joke to be funny. These so-called jokes are a test to see who is in-group and who isn't. If you think it's a good joke, you're part of their group. If you don't think it's a good joke, you're their enemy.

This is why their humor sucks. They're not making jokes to be funny, but to weed out the people who don't think they're funny.
