Please stop saying “add -ai”; that’s not reliable! The real way is to use the “Web” tab instead of “All” below

Can shortcut it by adding “&udm=14” to the url. there’s a bunch of ways to default to it. Odd ik but you are *guaranteed* not to trigger a genAI AI search this way

I wasnt asking you

[Hello it is me Kira :)🍉 @kirabira]

It’s controversial because it’s insulting to people suffering from serious multi-systemic chronic illness. I wasn’t housebound bc I was stuck in a mental feedback loop. I was housebound bc my body couldn’t produce energy properly. It’s controversial bc it’s not based in reality.

~5min excerpt, not an outright “defense of China” but rather of their project’s primacy of practice, what’s at stake, and what it means to take on imperialism; worth a listen even if you end up disagreeing

I interviewed Palestinian researcher Hala Hanina last year who introduced me to the term reprocide. Israel’s sexual torture is intended to destroy reproductive capacity and the ability for intimacy. Its deliberate nature makes it diabolical

@NickKristof Truly hate to see what’s happened to the “laundering color revolutions” and “state dept stenography” industries; seems we’re all facing job uncertainty these days 😔

Oh and friendly FYI - it’s not the 1990’s, nobody takes this hypocritical drivel seriously anymore

¿Alguna vez has sentido que la oficina o la fábrica te "absorben" la energía? No es solo cansancio, es un proceso ontológico. Para entender por qué trabajamos tanto y cada vez tenemos menos, debemos entender la danza macabra entre el Trabajo Vivo y el Trabajo Muerto. 1/9

@pissvortex And that’s a genuine threat to the US! Our very freedoms are at risk - the freedom for Nike to source labor abroad for pennies on the dollar

Sarcasm aside, to embark on colonial ventures is highly rational. It’s the system those decisions exist within; that’s what’s irrational

[Tim 😷 @itstimredd]

@pissvortex More development would absolutely lead to better trade for both sides

But then that filthy, evil other country may start to develop in the WRONG direction by doing things like raising wages, building schools, nationalizing industries, or DARING to define their own sovereign path

[Tim 😷 @itstimredd]

@_carlbeijer @hopelessxentric Along those lines - I grabbed a couple of the charts being shared by said liberals and looked into their sources; was 3/3 on them being straight out of hard-right, neocon think-tanks with a 1:1 funding overlap with Project 2025.

[Tim 😷 @itstimredd]

@StatisticUrban @pissvortex Just out here posting graphs from AEI, a neocon think-tank whose greatest hits include corporate astroturfing, shilling for Big Tobacco, obfuscating the climate crisis; + directly funded by all your favorite mega-corporations and Project 2025 authors.

At least go get a paycheck!

@PacoOnPause @JohnnyA47334786 Sorry to hear that Paco. You’re in my thoughts 🫂

@JordanUhl @krystalball The answer is @ButchWare but we let the Dems ratfuck him off the ballot. Now CA is stuck with this nightmare fuel

@victorywiilcome @EX23LCL @RnaudBertrand I wish, in the bastion of free thought that is the west, we were presented with all the differing opinions on these sorts of things. How else could democracy function? Unfortunately, the “marketplace of ideas” is a myth, with only a specific, narrow range of viewpoints allowed.

[Tim 😷 @itstimredd]

@EX23LCL @victorywiilcome @RnaudBertrand Re your comments on Mao’s famines (plural) - even anti-Communist scholars say it’s one, singular. And it certainly wasn’t “by design”, implying genocide.

The historical record has been twisted over the years to serve as an ideological cudgel, the propaganda is all-encompassing.

[Tim 😷 @itstimredd]

@EX23LCL @victorywiilcome @RnaudBertrand Using the same descriptor for both understates their differences.

One was externally imposed on colonial subjects over centuries. The other, as per CIA analysis at the time and since, was disastrous weather combined with naive policy; they credit Mao for prioritizing resolving.

[Tim 😷 @itstimredd]

@lisapease @OrevaZSN None of that came from technological advancement, which is their point. It’s often the opposite.

The gains you mention were forced out of employers - ending child labor, 40-hour work week / the weekend, better pay and conditions. All concessions made to organized worker action.

[Tim 😷 @itstimredd]

@EX23LCL @victorywiilcome @RnaudBertrand China had famines that killed millions in 1959, 1942, 1936, 1928, 1906, 1876, 1853, 1857, 1846, etc.

A better outlet for your righteousness: Britain - your country - imposed famines on Ireland which killed 13% of the people, and even more on India which killed millions per.

Pointed out by a locked friend: This Axios accusation of Cuba planning a drone attack on Guantanamo Bay, or on American vessels, or on Florida, all of those are literally from Operation Northwoods, the false-flag attack plans prepared by the CIA in 1962.
