I was thinking recently about how streamlined digital interfaces might be a type of commodity fetishism, encouraging users to think that outputs magically occur instead of being produced by components made with human labor. But mainly I just like buttons, switches, and knobs

TL;DR: The guy who was kidnapped and beaten by the IDF is a narcissist because he wrote mean tweets about “working tirelessly for a ceasefire” AOC and “I support Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state” Bernie.
I have said it before & will say it again. Hipster music began at the millennium & peaked in 07-08. By 2011-12 we were living in the ruins of a greater civilization. That is why we see stomp clap and the black keys weaseling their way into middle america hipsterdom post collapse
"Jyn, my stardust, I have placed a weakness deep within the system. A flaw so small and powerful, they will never find it. I have made the Death Star non-compliant under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502, incurring a cost of $16,550 per day for failure to abate violations."
The icon in the bottom left means he didn't have this photo ready to go but instead Google searched like "Hunter Biden fucked up" or something. And I think that's beautiful.
For every male Red-Winged Blackbird you see, there can be up to 15 females that he’s defending.
He claims as much territory as possible in early spring and then advertises that to females as a safe nesting space for them, which is why they defend their territory so aggressively
I keep thinking about Backrooms, that it’s a movie made by someone young now, about people being trapped in and forced to wander and sift through the banal and garish detritus of the late 20th century, warped and monstrous things being built from flimsy memories of that era
Allow me to get ornithological, especially as this is the second time in recent Hezbollah media that a native bird is referenced.
The birds shown in the video are common swifts. You can find them all across our villages and towns in South Lebanon and throughout the region. They're known for being incredibly fast and agile, and you can often catch them swooping and diving through the valleys.
Hezbollah's FPV drones are referred to as "Ababil" in Arabic (meaning flocks/swarms) and carry heavy ideological connotations rooted in Islamic history. The name refers directly to the Quranic "Tayran Ababil." They are the flocks of birds sent by God to destroy a heavily armored invading army with small stones.
By invoking this imagery, Hezbollah is framing their (now legendary) low-cost FPV drone swarms as a modern version of this divine intervention, showing that a vastly outnumbered resistance can still shatter the technological superiority of their occupier.
The fattest kitten at work hates humans SO MUCH. He doesn't want to get picked up, he doesn't want a cuddle. we're all like, you should have thought about that before you decided to be the fattest little baby in existence. You think we're not going to pick you up? You think we're not going to kiss you?
You're so fat
