Kanye West did a song titled Heil Hitler and is currently doing a concert tour, which has included multiple dates at Raymond James stadium in Tampa that has banned Macklemore for saying end the genocide & free Palestine
fucking absurd
I said this about AI well over a year ago. Using it to diagnose and fire people with medical conditions so they lose their insurance AND their income is somehow even more heartless and evil than I’d predicted.

Britain's average economic growth in the 1970s was 2.66%.
In the 2010s, it was 1.98%.
So far in the 2020s, it's 1.07%.
That lower economic growth is a lot less equitably distributed than it was in the 1970s.
Average real wages growth in the 70s? 3.2%.
In the 2020s? 0.9%.
Israel killed every single person in this video in Lebanon.
Every. Single. One.
Not fighters.
Babies. Children. Women. Entire families.
350 civilians slaughtered in one day.
Remember their faces the next time Israel claims it’s targeting “militants.”
People ask me: “How can they indict you for saying you took an ecstasy pill 36yrs ago in Australia? Are they mad?” No, folks, they are not mad. This has nothing to do with drugs, with the law, with anything related to my actual interview. It is a reflection of what has been happening to politics across the West, with Greek characteristics.
Unlike in most other European countries, where new ultra-rightist parties emerged to undermine the traditional centre-right party (e.g., the AfD in Germany, Reform in the UK, Meloni’s Brothers in Italy or Le Pen in France), in Greece the mainstream Tory-equivalent party (New Democracy) remains dominant in the polls and in public discourse.
The reason behind their success is that they kept the neofascists in their midst. Indeed, Mitsotakis, the PM, gave them top ministerial posts (e.g., Health, Migration) to keep them sweet. Keen to ensure that things stay this way, and that the neofascists do not form their own party, the PM has cut a deal with them:
The PM and his neoliberal mainstream faction monopolise financial deals with the local and global corporate oligarchy, economic policy more generally. In exchange, the PM has handed over to the neofascists the ministries engaged in rightist culture wars (migration, family law, health, the phoney war on drugs etc.). The latter then use their authority to appeal to their electoral base by ensuring that the Greek Coast Guard causes migrants to drown in the Aegean, that the police shield the fascists, and that people like myself are harassed and dragged through the courts.
In short, my ridiculous prosecution must be seen within the wider, West-wide, surge of an insidious new form of fascism. In this context, I am honoured by their determination to persecute me – as it grants me the privilege of calling upon people of good conscience, from around the world, to stand together, to oppose them. https://t.co/I1FOpsg8Rg
The Empire strikes back, not just to grab oil and other riches but, fundamentally, to hide its own weakness at home – and to prepare the ground for subjugating its own people, in Chicago, Portland, NYC etc. Meanwhile, a vassal Europe watches in silence... https://t.co/7m7P56YqWa
Bombing Venezuela while coordinating a genocide in Palestine while threatening to attack Iran (again) while destabillizing Somalia while carrying out a heist in the DRC...
US imperialism is the greatest threat to peace and security in our world today and it's not even close.
"I've seen the mask of humanity fall from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone -- everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed."
@novaramedia@AaronBastani@kieran_andrieu Testing to see if someone has every statistic memorized and immediately recallable is a shallow media spectacle - as if Zack (or anyone else) doesn't have advisers & access to the figures as and when he genuinely needs them. It's Like valuing arithmetic over real problem solving.
Israeli officers and soldiers have revealed they’ve been ordered to deliberately shoot at unarmed Palestinians trying to get aid.
That’s in Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
Israel is deliberately massacring civilians it’s deliberately starving.
There are few crimes more depraved.
