the nation is run by christian fundamentalist extremists who kill their dissenters and keep innocent people locked in torturous cages for decades. they turn away or kill refugees and impose extremist laws on women while telling the rest of the world that it's in the name of security and morality. they are gathering weapons of mass destruction and have already used them multiple times against innocent civilians in the name of defending their corrupt and dangerous empire. most people live in substandard conditions especially those considered unworthy by elite puppetmasters. humanitarian aid is squashed or penalized. they poison the air, water and soil needed for their people to live. already-brainwashing media is muzzled and controlled by government agencies. they don't even feed children or give healthcare to those who most need it. oh and they have this thing called "SCOTUS"

Are you on Twitter? Do you assume that public stuff you post can be enjoyed by all?

Just so you are aware, this is what I have to do to look at things on Twitter:

- Go to some profile: big banner asking me to join Twitter covers the whole thing. Tap the cross.
- Expand a tweet: same banner is back… BUT: tapping the cross takes you BACK to the precious page. No, to actually see the tweet and replies, you have to RELOAD the page.

This is the perpetual dance. Every single page.

Facebook is very similar.
Instagram is worse.

People who use Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn… etc. as their main, supposedly public website / profile / repository of information don’t realise how painful they are to navigate if you can’t or don’t want to show your membership card.

Chips make #Verkehrswende

"Proprietary" should be read as "not peer reviewed"

Ironie de la plaça de George Orwell à Barcelone.

It’s literally impossible to find beard-care products that aren’t called like “Commodore Rex Manly’s Industrial Grade Dude Pomade: Atomic Naval Assault Scent”

@thamesynne They say piracy is a service problem...

but really its a service solution!

Happy MLK Day. America is reaping its abject failures to address racism, capitalism, and the military-industrial complex that he fought against.

Cryptobros win an auction for Jodorowsky's "Dune" concept art compendium in book form:

They paid ~100× the estimated price. And they think buying this book gives them the necessary rights to make a series based on it. 🤣

I mean, shouldn't NFT bros know everything about copyright and imaginary property?

I cannot stop laughing.

@rysiek Check the story closer - they're entertaining the idea of scanning the book page by page, and selling pages (or subsections) as NFTs, and *burn the actual physical copy* as to make NFTs "more valuable".
