Thank God, an enlightened centrist! What knowledge can you throw down to us critically engaged peasants from the top of the horseshoe??? We’re so hungry as a result of communism or something

Just so we’re on the same page here - what exactly do you think raw footage means?

It’s raw footage, homie.

A badge of honor.

To be held in esteem by Israel - at any point in its history - is a deep stain on any reputation to put it mildly. Anyone with humanity is an enemy to fascists and ethnostates.

Israel vows to 'finish the job' in Gaza as War Cabinet member threatens a Ramadan deadline for Rafah (apnews.com)

The U.S., Israel’s top ally, said it instead hopes to broker a cease-fire and hostage-release agreement between Israel and Hamas, and envisions a wider resolution on the war sparked by the militant group’s Oct. 7 attack. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called Hamas’ demands “delusional.”...

This is exactly why armed resistance is both inevitable and entirely justified. The UN agrees - of whom Israel explicitly refuses to allow record the conflict. Israel kills the record-keepers and then gaslights away the truth.

Fascism rides again under the colors blue and white.

Israel accuses Australia of forgetting ‘Hamas’s culpability’ for Gaza war as ministers consider UNRWA funding (www.theguardian.com)

As an Australian, no we didn’t. We just had it put in context. Jews around the world are great people, the Israeli government and the hardline supporters are absolute monsters. I hope the Australian government tells them as much. Israel deserves no support and everything that may happen when it’s withdrawn.

Australia still supports Israel to the hilt. Settler-colonies prop each other up.

Don’t fall for this.

Gaza hostage relatives burst into Israeli parliament, calls for action mount (www.reuters.com)

JERUSALEM, Jan 22 (Reuters) - A group of relatives of Israelis held hostage by Palestinian gunmen in Gaza stormed a parliamentary committee session in Jerusalem on Monday, demanding that the lawmakers do more to try to free their loved ones....

Literally happened to me. I went back to my primary school for work experience - I had the incredible pleasure of being placed with a teacher who had inspired me a lot as a younger kid.

I’ll never forget. One time at lunch, she just sat down with me on duty and said in the most soul deep tired voice I’ve heard “is this what you want?”. Don’t think she said a word after. Woke me right up.

It’s criminal what we’ve done to our education system.

Stop with the black pill nonsense. There’s plenty we can do. Get active, get amongst it, break unjust laws.

Lay down and rot somewhere else.

Legitimately wild for the Pope to point blank call the US regressive.

Not out of hypocrisy (though, yeah - solidarity with survivors and the colonised) - but because he was actually really justified in what he said to reach that.

Wild. Absolutely wild. The US is so comically bad faith a society even the pope can eloquate why it’s awful.

Jesus, that’s a bit rough. I mean, the death stuff - why say that? I understand you’re being hyperbolic but - again - why put that out there? Noone deserves to die for riding through traffic, what a thing to say…

Here’s hoping Queensland has the spine to say the same thing about the Olympics.

They want to bulldoze a 100 year old primary school so they can knock down a stadium we already have - to build a new one worth 2.7 billion in exactly the same place. Meanwhile, our rents are going crazy as locals get forced out of their support networks, there’s rough sleepers being displaced and at times outright attacked by the states support workers, our education system is now decades underfunded and the health system isn’t far behind.

We didn’t ask for the Olympics. The campaign was a businessmans vanity project. It’s insane to shoulder the burden of that frivolity right now.

New normal, folks. So begins the era of climate migration.

A reminder that this is why we should never tolerate selfishness. We’re now largely screwed because we, as a species, valued our individual comfort over expert research.

We knew what we needed to do - but no, profits. Such a dumb way to die.

Does not having any social media presence have any negative impact on a person's social life?

Social media presence as in having accounts in your name with you being visible in the profile picture in mainstream sites (Anything Meta, Twitter, Snapchat, Tiktok…). I don’t consider anynounmous accounts on Lemmy, Reddit, Kbin relevant to the scope of this question.

One anecdotal chime in: I dropped the Zuck for a year and gradually realised that my city runs all its cultural events through Facebook - unless you know or someone invites you, that was pretty much it.

I think I did miss out on meeting new people or seeing old friends by chance, simply because I didn’t know to turn up somewhere for a gig or whatever - and the old addage has some truth imo; often you just need to be in the right place at the right time for things to happen.

Oh contraire - we’re 20 years late

Thoughts on street art? (graff, murals, posters etc - and would you guys like to see bits of it posted here every now and again?)

Personally, I think it’s a really cool craft - there’s a lot of technique and know-how just to control a can properly, let alone to pull off a composed piece or calligraphy. Some people do learn their basics on the fly for sure but I think it’s a gift to the public when writers are given space to perfect their art....

Twitter is looking to sue Meta for "stealing trade secrets" amongst other things regarding Threads. Could/would they also take aim at Mastodon?

Given that threads is aping Mastodon, could they come after front ends here? Or is this just megacorp slap fighting/ an unexpected (but maybe predictable) outcome of the Twitter staff purges?

Yeah, not a fan of the ominous shadow threads™️ casts. I don’t trust them not to flood the fediverse with assorted toxic garbage to push people back towards their walled garden platforms.

The fediverse offers something radical - a new shot at genuine self determination and a socialised, self-governing internet. That shit spells B-A-D N-E-W-S for incumbent platforms (imo) and they’re bad actors in general; they wouldn’t think twice about smothering anything that threatens their short/long term profits. Who’se going to stop them?

Might be a little bit overly risk concious but goddamn. If I were them, I’d be trying to kill alternative ecosystems before they grew - especially if mine (metas) is both trash to use, and be used by.
