Sneed's Feed & Seed Formerly Chuck's is a joke from the The Simpsons The questionable validity of the punchline and confusing nature of the joke's structure has turned it into a tool for trolling and memes referencing the original quip, which uses the scene from the show as an exploitable in photoshops and other edits. After spreading to 4chan, "Sneedposting" became a widespread shitposting format to reference Sneed's Feed & Seed.

I just received my Typhur Done 2 airfryer. The basket isn't deep, but it's wide, I can put my 3.5lb tomahamk steak in it with room to spare. Supposedly fits a dozen drumsticks in there too.
It's a tad expensive at $499, but I found a 40% off code so I grabbed it.
Now I just have to figure out if $200 is too much for two wireless temp probes.

Consider The Raven

@Max_Imum Yeah I have a tendency to run myself ragged and take on more than is mine.

I’m my own petty tyrant, bossing myself about and generally being kinda rough on myself.

I felt like it was killing me.

Then I did a bunch of blood tests and stuff through Function health… and it turns out it was.

Staring at the evidence of a thing that I was feeling has forced me to take a very similar perspective shift.

in reply to Aaron

that wasn't the first time, not even close.

who ever faced any justice for the Ludlow massacre? the Battle of Blair Mountain? killing Malcolm X, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Black Panthers?

no one did any time for that. no one got anything for that. nothing happened to the people who did those things. nothing ever happens to most of the cops who murder Black people on any given day.

no one needed to wait to see a president do it because the rest of the owning class has done it every day for the last 150 years at least.

Ich kenne mittlerweile Leute, die nicht hier sozialisiert sind (und nicht gut deutsch sprechen), die in Berlin leben, aber nicht mal mit der S-Bahn ins Umland fahren, geschweige denn mit der Bahn sonstwo hin, wenn es irgendwie vermeidbar ist, weil es komplett unkalkulierbar ist, was für Katastrophen damit passieren. Und der Rassismus kommt ja noch obendrauf.

In 1975 in #Detroit, the Hackney brothers recorded an album for their band… called DEATH. Despite being punk before the likes of the Ramones or Sex Pistols, no record label would sign them unless they changed their name. They refused, the recordings went to a box in the attic, and the band eventually broke up after self-releasing one single.

Decades later, the sons of Bobby Hackney heard that single and started asking questions… which eventually led to the release of that album on Drag City Records in 2009. To honor their late brother David’s vision, they named the album “For the Whole World to See” and embarked on a tour that hit several of the world’s continents… but not Africa.

Slovenly Recordings is ecstatic — and honored — to announce that in November 2025, on the 50th anniversary of the recording of their album, and 25 years after David Hackney’s passing, DEATH will perform in #Africa for the first time! …at We’re Loud Fest in #Nairobi, #Kenya.

Exoplanet HIP 67522 b triggers flares from its host star (artist’s impression)

Astronomers using the European Space Agency’s Cheops mission have caught an exoplanet that seems to be triggering flares of radiation from the star it orbits. These tremendous explosions are blasting away the planet’s wispy atmosphere, causing it to shrink every year.

This is the first-ever evidence for a ‘planet with a death wish’. Though it was theorised to be possible since the nineties, the flares seen in this research are around 100 times more energetic than expected.

In one of several observations about Israel that led to him being relieved of his position leading the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Levant and Egypt branch in June, Army Colonel Nathan McCormack summed up the relationship this way:
“[Israel is] our worst ‘ally.’ We get literally nothing out of the ‘partnership’ other than the enmity of millions of people in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.”

You'll see this on every mainstream, Anderson Cooper, Jake Tapper, all of these guys again and again that the link between autism vaccines has been debunked. Right. It's been studied. Those studies that I was talking about earlier, the epidemiological studies, they only looked at one vaccine, the MMR, and one ingredient, thimerosal. NONE OF THE VACCINES THAT ARE ADMINISTERED TO CHILDREN DURING THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF LIFE HAVE EVER BEEN STUDIED FOR AUTISM.” minds.com/newsfeed/17871707564…

_If there were no government, wouldn’t psychopaths or supervillains acquire nuclear weapons and either deploy them or use them for blackmail?_

Christopher Cook's answer:

Nuclear bombs are incredibly expensive. Fissile materials have to be mined and then enriched. Delivery technology must be invented, improved, built, and maintained. States can do this because they can steal your money through taxation or print it (and enrich themselves and their cronies in the process due to the Cantillon Effect).

In a condition of market anarchism, a private person must acquire this wealth through providing goods and services. He would have to be a successful businessman—offering things that people want, things that people feel would make their lives better—BEFORE he can get the wealth necessary to build even a small number of missiles/bombs.

So does our nuclear-mad psychopath intentionally seek success in business just so he can acquire the wealth needed to develop even a small arsenal? Maybe.

But then we must ask—what are his incentives to do so? Bloodlust? Lunacy? Again, maybe, but certainly not a common scenario.

Meanwhile, we know the perverse incentives of the state. We know that “War is the heath of the state.” War makes the state more powerful. War allows centralizers to centralize. War allows some to become fabulously wealthy making weapons. “Democracy” allows all of these costs to be passed on to the people. And the nationalism of the modern state allows authorities to convince people in their own lands that people in far-off lands are their bitter enemies. To sacrifice their wealth and treasure, to sacrifice themselves and their children to fight this far-off enemy. And if you are unwilling to fight, they can draft you and kill you if you refuse.

The private psychopath in a condition of market anarchism has none of these incentives and none of these abilities. The state, by contrast, has all of them. The state has a record of using nuclear weapons. The state can build and maintain a world-destroying number of them. The Japanese were suing for peace when “we” dropped Fat Man and Little Boy, just to show the USSR we meant business.

I am not saying that psychos will not exist in a condition of market anarchism, or that such a condition will be perfect. But when we compare that possibility to the current reality, how can we possibly prefer the current reality?

Today in Labor History July 2, 1929: Augusto Sandino left for México to seek aid for his Nicaraguan rebels, fighting the U.S. occupation of his country. The rebellion lasted from 1927-1933. In 1934, he was assassinated by General Anastasio Somoza, who seized power in a 1936 coup d’etat, and who, along with his sons, ran the country as dictators until the Sandinista Revolution of 1979 ended their reign of terror. While in México, during early 1920s, Sandino participated in strikes led by the IWW. Inspired by the Wobblies, he returned to foment revolution in Nicaragua, adopting the IWW's black and red syndicalist colors in their Revolutionary Flag.

The content of the meeting is undisclosed.

My evidence:

He’s managed to find his way here.

His computer and or phone appear to work.

He’s probably not in a retirement home with dementia or institutionalized for cognitive impairment because there’s no way those places would let their charges loose on the underbelly of the internet.

So yeah, he’s smarter than his posts make him out to be.

De Mussolini à Trump (en passant par Retailleau) : comprendre le fascisme


Soutenez Blast, nouveau média indépendant : blast-info.fr/soutenir

Peut-on encore parler de fascisme ? Dans les médias dominants, employer ce terme pour décrire la montée des mouvements d'extrême-droite est tourné en dérision. Trop radical, trop polémique : le mot "fascisme" serait anachronique, inopérant.

Pourtant, depuis 1945, jamais les discours autoritaires, racistes et identitaires n'ont autant imprégné le débat public dans les démocraties occidentales. L'ascension de Trump et le salut nazi d'Elon Musk incarnent une extrême droite décomplexée, désormais au pouvoir.

Malgré les discours populistes et antisystème de ces mouvements, leurs alliés s'affichent maintenant au grand jour : les milliardaires et leurs multinationales, de Zuckerberg à Arnault, et une partie grandissante de la bourgeoisie, prête à tout pour conserver son pouvoir. Le vent a définitivement tourné.

Alors, l'histoire se répète-t-elle ? Assistons-nous à l'émergence d'un nouveau fascisme ? Mais d'abord, qu'est-ce que le fascisme ?
Dans ce climat de grande confusion où il devient urgent de nommer clairement l'ennemi pour mieux le combattre, Blast vous propose de revenir aux sources : comprendre les origines, l'histoire et les mutations du fascisme d'hier pour éclairer les dangers d'aujourd'hui.

Έλεγε ακόμη πως αρκετές ευρωπαϊκές χώρες ζητούν την μείωση των ευρωπαϊκών επιδοτήσεων στην Ελλάδα κατά 50%.

Αν επαληθευτούν οι δυό παραπάνω υποθέσεις, θα είναι τεράστιες, απερίγραπτες, οι επιπτώσεις, τόσο στους αγρότες, όσο και στους καταναλωτές

@baskin όσο αυτοί μασούσαν τις επιδοτήσεις ένας φίλος προσπάθησε να φτιάξει μια καλλιέργεια. Παθαίνει σοβαρό ατύχημα και είναι στο κρεβάτι κανένα εξάμηνο. Σκάει ο έλεγχος αυτών των μπουρδέλων και βλέπει τη σοδιά κατεστραμμένη. Βλέπει και τα χαρτιά από τους γιατρούς και τα νοσοκομεία. Αποφασίζει λοιπόν ότι ο φίλος πήγε να φάει το χρήμα και του παίρνει πίσω την επιδότηση και τον αφήνει σακάτη και χρεωμένο με χιλιάδες€ στην πλάτη.

The farmers, the welders, the waitresses, the nurses pulling double shifts, the truck drivers hauling goods across this country - the folks who work hard, play by the rules, and ask for nothing more than a fair shot and a government that works for them, not against them. The One Big Beautiful Bill is their bill! It's about restoring sanity in a town that's lost it. It cuts the waste. It reins in the reckless spending. It demands that if you're able to work, you should. It delivers the largest tax cut in history, And it stops asking working families to foot the bill for Washington's bad decisions. Thanks for your vision, leadership and determination! You are my favorite President! Let’s get this done.”
