  • my friends' group chat is talking about Iran's attack and is repeating the "Israel stopped 99% of the missiles and drones, what an overwhelming victory for Israel" shit. I don't have the energy or will to argue with them about it so I'm just ignoring the chat for a while

  • Anti-semitism was born out of the rejection of multiculturalism and diversity that jewish people brought to the different places they lived, a completely reactionary sentiment.

    Now it is the israelis that reject multiculturalism and diversity! fucking reactionary shithole that place is, and they have the nerve to claim that they're the real jews.

  • Tips for engaging with the US Military

    if they live by u, like on a base, this is some good stuff to do. I can't confirm or deny if I or my friends have engaged in any of this:

    • feed them dog treats: u can dress up like ur handing out free samples at the mall, and give the service members dog treats. it's pretty fun
    • pretend ur out of gas: this is my personal favourite. somewhere near base pretend to have run out of gas. eventually a bunch of jarheads will show up to help you push ur car, stay inside slightly riding the brake. they'll keep trying, let them, but just like really wear them out. for a fun twist, start ur car after they get exhausted and drive away flipping them off
    • set up online dates with them and then don't show up. this one's just funny and obvious
    • send terrible Grindr guys to their room: only do this to bad guys on Grindr but this is also really funny

  • How is the month half over? I haven't even started on my work for the month yet. Where did the last two weeks go? I feel like I need to get someone to help me stay on track and focus on my work or something, like a personal manager.

  • Let’s say for argument’s sake that Genocide Joe is too worried about reelection and decides to actually not send direct American assistance. Isn’t “Israel” potentially biting off way more than they can chew?

    • I guess that depends on who would ally with Iran. I think Israël vs Iran would be somewhat of an even match, but a coalition between Iran and other (Arab) countries might be too much for them. But then again Israël has nukes so...

      • Other than nukes, here's hoping isn'treal/US is too depleted to risk a confrontation with Iran. They've been careful with Hezbollah, so they must know they can't handle Hezbollah + Iran simultaneously. But of course part of me wishes they'd go for it and collapse.

      • so far it seems the u.s. is happy to take advantage of the situation (iran), which isnt a good sign. another aspect is private contractors, which can apparently be deployed with less oversight. 😓

  • Are Northern academics under pressure to fill some sort of anticommunist quota in order to appease their publishers? That would at least explain why they have to shoehorn in their dissertations these irrelevant potshots at communism, even when they’re self‐contradictory like this.

    Did we give the Jewish populations back their stuff before June 22, 1941? Or did we dispossess them only a little bit? Which one was it?

  • I think I'm finally doing this "touching grass" thing people talk about, I just got an e-bike a few days ago so I'm finally able to get out of the house in a meaningful capacity since I can't drive and I'm horribly out of shape, this lets me get around to places I need to go somewhat comfortably on my own while still letting me get a decent amount of physical activity (certainly far more than the near-zero I got before)

    I've done a few trips just for fun and it's nuts just how much more you pay attention to and enjoy the environment compared to in a car, but today I did a grocery run and it was also very practical, I got a decent pannier bag I can clip to the bike that can be used as a shoulder bag or backpack and it holds a pretty decent amount

    • Very cool, outside time is a must, it helps in small ways for me I know. Anything better than zero is better, we all struggle to take care of ourselves. Victories add up. Props.

  • The weather seems broken the past few days. Every day seems to contain every know season and weather condition. Rain, cold, then a warm sun, then thunder, hail, wind and storm. And then I have a headache all day because of seasonal allergies and thunderstorms combined.

  • Not to be melodramatic but I think whatever was left of our Democracy just died today. The new defense bill went through, meaning Billions of dollars to our satellite countries, including Nazi occupied Ukraine, and the remarkably unpopular Israeli regime. The TikTok ban just got pushed through, which has a lot of language that basically means the US government has just severely limited free speech online.

    • The democracy we have is because of the proletariat, not because of the leaders.

      We should continue to fight for our democratic rights, including privacy, which seems underrated nowadays.

  • I think I have some guilt over going to Eurovision in Concert. I don't regret it, but feel like I have to make up for it by going to pro-Palestine protests. I've added a few actions to my agenda
