the thing people do not seem to reckon about sociopaths, narcissists, machiavellians and sadists is that:

  1. as humans, they are pack animals. they LOVE not just COMMITTING VIOLENCE in packs, but they absolutely love BEING EVIL in a group

  2. they are SHAMELESS about being evil and committing violence for fun.

  3. there is a huge correlation between sociopaths, narcissists & machiavellians scoring high on sadism & leaning into fascism

as @IveyJanette reminds us, #Trump wants to hold a fundraiser rally at Madison Square Garden; so here's A NIGH AT THE GARDEN, a short documentary made entirely with archival footage from the night #Nazis held a rally at #MSG in 1939.

https://vimeo.com/237489146

you will notice then, just like today, cops protecting the Nazis from protesters; including ISADORE GREENBAUM, a courageous Jewish man who stormed the stage in protest.

to those of y'all saying, nothing is gonna happen on July 11th, here's the thing:

🗣️ 📣 TAKE EVERY WIN ONE AT A TIME

YES, the man wasn't thrown in jail unlike millions of others working class shmucks; especially the Blacker & browner ones.

NO, this is not the time to shit on a win. this is the time to reckon not prosecuting more white-collar crimes since the 1990s, BY RICH OLD WHITE AMERICAN GUYS, is why USA is now ran by a fascist conspiracy of Wall Street, Techbro and Christofascist mafias.

#fuckCancer

i was told i was gonna hit a wall of fatigue sometime after the 2nd or 3rd week after finishing treatment. am glad to be alive and on my way to recovery but this sucks ass.

we need #UBI as part of health care. nobody should have to be precariously unemployed during a situation like this.

anybody having to go to a job during or after #cancer treatment is lying to do that they can handle it.

this is not bullshit. to be forced to work thru a #health crisis is eugenics.

Serious question: when and in which contexts did calling people "individuals" emerge as a common practice, as a synonym for people? Or "an individual" for "a person"?

I ask because I'm noticing it in student writing, and I associate it with police-speak. I don't know if it's in some corners of social science or medicine too

@inquiline it’s 90s Randian wanker business-speak that has oozed and corroded rhetoric in the last 30 or so years.

you're not an American-living-abroad. you're a migrant. an American migrant. same with the UK. fuck with that expat bullshit. you're a migrant.

blogdiva,
@blogdiva@mastodon.social avatar

there is a reason i use MIGRANT, instead of the jingoistic immigrant.

humans have alway migrated. we are primates. most primates, even gorillas, would move around more freely if humans had not destroyed most of our habitats.

it's natural for humans to migrate.

colonialism + imperialism + capitalism + racism have destroyed much of our natural migratory patterns.

no, it’s not civilization or modernity that made us evolve into sedentary beings.

the cult of exploitation & genocide did that.

DIDN'T THE COURTS OR DoL RECENTLY SAY NDAs ARE ILLEGAL?

«I have seen the extremely restrictive off-boarding agreement that contains nondisclosure and non-disparagement provisions former OpenAI employees are subject to. It forbids them, for the rest of their lives, from criticizing their former employer. Even acknowledging that the NDA exists is a violation of it.»

ChatGPT can talk, but OpenAI employees sure can’t

APROPOS OF EVERYTHING
you know what's interesting about the Dorothea Lange @DorotheaLange pics of #poverty in the United States? since she focused on migrant workers and small farmers, many of these people owned cars and/or (mobile) houses.
https://mastodon.social/@DorotheaLange@mastodon.ozioso.online/112457564915633018

just a reminder that poverty is always relative to the amounts of wealth and resources hoarded by the oligarchy, not by whatever material possessions are owned by the poor.

i like following the @DorotheaLange bot because it reminds me to look into what LOC has about Puerto Rico's . today was reminded of PRERA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rico_Reconstruction_Administration#The_Puerto_Rico_Emergency_Relief_Administration_(PRERA)
and of Jack Delano's work in Puerto Rico which was, much like Lange's, to document La Isla's poverty.

here's a 1941 pic of sugar cane workers from Río Piedras. notice the woman's shirt. instead of flour sacks,

poor women in were clothes from sacks of sugar.

this is the second time this week, of a corruptocrat throwing their wife under the bus.

first it was Menéndez' lawyers during opening statements in his corruption case.

now it's #SCOTUS' resident sociopath, Samuel Alito:

«Alito told the Times, "I had no involvement whatsoever in the flying of the flag. It was briefly placed by Mrs. Alito..."»

QUESTION ABOUT #BOEING
are all the malfunctioning airplanes only used for domestic flights? were all the malfunctioning planes deployed only for use inside of USA?

was wondering if, since other countries have their own plane inspection programs, why would other countries not catch any of the problems with those planes? and i reckoned that maybe it's because Boeing was selling those faulty planes to USA airlines only for domestic flights; by-passing inspections from other countries.

«We're approaching the moment, and perhaps it's already here, when the memory of the Holocaust won't stop the world from seeing Israel as it is. The moment when the historic crimes committed against our people will stop serving as our Iron Dome, protecting us from being held to account for crimes we are committing in the present against the nation with which we share the historical homeland.»

this exaplains Biden's miserable #Israel policy: the techbros, all of whom were funded by the MIC during all those years of growth without making money, have finally taken off the mask of "techno optimism" and are showing themselves for who they are. no wonder Gay Hitler's company was the main sponsor of this event.
