Reading an article about some of my ancestors (the de Coppens) from back in the mid-19th who left Martinique for New Orleans to become distinguished members of the city's upper class. They rallied for the Confederacy and set up Zouave bataillons; this was "the family enterprise."
Breathing in hefty lungfuls of smoke as I get explosive diarrhea from salad, the sky turns apocalyptic orange while oil companies drill in protected lands, screwworms are eating cattle alive and the president just paid $6 million for rape. And I’m also able to bet on all of it!
What’s happening in Boston right now is a once in a generation to chance to change our future.
- Preserve 3am last call
- Preserve extended 4am MBTA service

it seems most likely to me that america finally collapses into something more like russia: a belligerent, corrupt oligarchy surrounded by client states and hostile spheres of influence, but incapable of the global reach it once held
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
the least we can do as a society for Sonny Rollins is to rename the bridge

Tonight, after a year of screaming about holding ICE accountable, 144 House Democrats joined 203 Republicans to pass CORCA, a bill that grants DHS and ICE sweeping new power to collect American citizens' personal information under the guise of combating retail theft.
Looks like Gov. Hochul is slipping in a buffer zone law into the budget that will crack down on pro-Palestine protests outside of settler land sales inside synagogues. Because it's part of a must-pass mammoth budget, there's very little opportunity to dissent or debate the matter
If Hamas fired a single shot post ceasefire, we’d never stop hearing about it.
But Israel has carried out 1,228 airstrikes and shelling attack on Palestinians inside the Gaza concentration camp since the ceasefire began.
On its third attempt tonight, Marblehead Town Meeting approved an “MBTA Communities–compliant” district largely centered on the 125-year-old Tedesco Country Club, meeting 3A requirements on paper while all but assuring no new housing would be built.
This comment says it all.
get this through your thick fucking heads: technology never shortens labor time on its own. no boss ever has said, "ah, now that these machines have production more efficient, i guess i can let my workers work less." only class struggle shortens labor time.
🚨🚨🚨 URGENTE. Nuestras embarcaciones están bajo ataque. Gran actividad de drones, interferencia a nuestros sistemas de comunicación y presencia de embarcaciones militares con soldados autoidentificados como de Israel. Esto, en aguas internacionales, a casi ¡700 millas! de los territorios ocupados por la entidad colonial. Estamos tratando de confirmar si hubo o no interceptación. Necesitamos máxima difusión.

In leaked audio recordings, Peter Thiel revealed he told JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral issues, including the development of ethical AI.
He also suggested the American pope was a tool of the Antichrist.
Here’s the full story.

The false flag for a ballroom thing would be less believable if a judge didn't just say they need a security justification to do it without Congressional approval and it wasn't the only thing Trump has talked about for months despite starting a whole ass war.
Feel like not enough people are pausing to appreciate just how truly deranged this is. Casablancas criticized Israel then the SF Chronicle rushed to publish an article about a 13 year old Casablancas attending a “Trump linked event”. 13 years old. “Linked”. 13! “Linked event”!
