i can't be the only GenXer from #nyc ―who, for a hot minute in the 1990s, worked in finance a block away from Wall Street― that looks at this official government photo of Kash Patel and immediately thinks “cocaine eyes”, right?

#fascism #drugs #hipocrisy

so i went looking for this new #Mastodon profile page and i love how clean and funky fresh it looks.

THANKS @imanijoy! great job.

the UK Parliament showing USA Congress what a functional democracy looks like:

❝ Mr. Speaker, just before President Trump posted about his supposed negotiations with Iran on Monday, traders made hundreds of millions of dollars of extra bets on oil futures. This looks like Donald Trump giving his mates insider information so they can make themselves richer, while his illegal war in Iran makes everyone else poorer. ❞

welp… been having problems boosting and faveing with the andoid app, then this happened

just fyi @MastodonEngineering

i follow the #art tag and i’ve seen an explosion of accounts at .social with the following handle pattern:

@Curated{name of artist}

when you go the profile of @CuratedVelazquez it doesn't identify who created the bot; which is by my guesstimate, close to 100 different artists by now.

what’s worse is that, if these are being scraped, the scrapers are not including any information about title, subject, year created, neither in the body of the post or AltTxt.

been wondering if it’s AISlop.

cannot say this enough:

i knew of Chomsky first as a linguist, so it always struck me as odd that USA’s “Left” paraded him as the second coming of Marx. notwithstanding his books and articles about USA imperialism, compared to other “white guys in academia” like Howard Zinn and Noel Ignatiev, Chomsky never seemed to be a danger to the establishment.

this photo of him with #JeffreyEpstein in the Lolita Express depicts perfectly what my guts screamed: he’s well-paid, controlled opposition.

WHITE AMERICANS (especially the men):

you are what stands between justice and the fascist #MAGA pedophile ring terrorizing the country and world.

if the King of England can do it

if the United Kingdom can do it

if South Korea can do it

so can y’all

THE WORLD IS WATCHING and those of us who suffer the most because of your inaction, not only will remember what you didn't do: we know who you are.

#billionaires #mafia #fascism #pedophilia

ok, i’ve watched it again and am now processing all the awesomeness. no disrespect, but Lady Gaga was the weakest link.

ENISGÜEIS, have to make an inventory of all the references, but know:

USA forced the privatization of Puerto Rico’s electric grid, la AEE, busting our oldest #labor #union. protests mounted after #HurricaneMaría; then #Telegramgate happened

those AEE posts are symbol of the labor unions that laid the groundwork for the 2019 protests
