I had one of these with a GBA emulator and a copy of Lego Star Wars on it. I didn’t realize it was write-only so it always loaded from the same save state. I thought it was the coolest piece of tech i’d ever used.

What a rotten deal we made with Iran. We get nothing (except laughter at our stupidity). They get everything, including delay and big cash!

Ooh you went undercover into the militant leftist march and found a bunch of nice, normal people who welcomed you while protesting against racism. You really owned the libs there you fucking idiot

sorry I just don't think an economic system that will boil the planet for profit is the smartest way to structure society :/

Viral ‘dopamine sites’ are letting users shop without actually spending money

The sites feature nonexistent products, reviews, and promotions, and let users checkout and track their “courier” all without actually buying anything

she has always been an incredibly beautiful woman, but this video in particular’s got a lot going for it. she fixes her hair, you get a lil sideboob and side ass profile, she says yeah (consent is sexy), and most importantly she does’t look like a politician…

It’s always actors who haven’t made anything good in a decade saying stuff like this on Fox News

The promise of colonialism has always been the same: surrender your dignity, abandon your dead, betray your people, and in return we’ll let you participate in your own subjugation. What an offer.

I often think of this passage from Lenin’s text on Tolstoy and the labor movement: "Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle."

We rarely see the other parts of that paragraph. "Despair is typical of the classes which are perishing,” Lenin writes. "The modern industrial proletariat does not belong to the category of such classes."

Lenin was writing about the labor movement, and the objective historical process that saw it rise and replace the peasantry as the dominant force in Russia. The peasantry was gripped by despair because its class no longer had a future. The proletariat, by contrast, was growing in strength and number.

Today, Lenin’s insight also holds true of the streets of Iran, where people mobilize by the millions under bombardment. It is true of the communes in Venezuela, whose militants continue the task of building socialism and are prepared to take up arms to defend it. It is true of the people of Cuba, who remain defiant under a crushing blockade that has turned their cities dark.

Those who despair now — as a new world is being born — are really just mourning the death of liberalism. They are mourning the death of a world that never existed: a world of supposed lawfulness and “rules-based” governance. Anyone who has ever earnestly tried to bring a new world into being quickly learned that these were fictions created to secure impunity for the colonizer and oppressor.

That is why we find that people on the vanguard of the systemic transition underway — as with the labor movement in Lenin’s time — “have plenty to protest against but nothing to despair about.”
