Is Trump just a drooling Retard who himself decided that he would pander to NeverTrump Neocons and betray the people who got him elected, or does Mossad actually have evidence of him fucking kids?
Caitlin Johnstone- I feel so stupid for having bought into Gabbard’s antiwar schtick early on. Fuck this asshole, fuck Trump, fuck Israel, and fuck the US empire.
Back in the day, there was a fad among programmers for, well, having blood in their caffeine stream. See Jolt Cola: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolt_Col…
Is being highly caffeinated still something people brag about (more than in the larger culture)?
Or is it all microdosing hallucinogens, etc.? Or whatever replaced that?
(It’d be interesting to see the demographics of microdosing. It feels like something driven by Thought Leaders rather than bottom-up, but I’m out of touch.)
people in my circles didn't drink jolt for bragging rights
jolt cola was a tool. a means to an end. we wanted to Get Shit Done and jolt cola was how we stayed up long enough to see it through. benezdrine was hard to find and marching powder was expensive, but the gas station sold jolt all night.
@pluralistic : "Like many people of my generation, I grew up with The Blues Brothers. ... I can still just about recite those movies verbatim, more than 30 years later."
IMHO a perfect opening scene: Elwood stands in front of the Blues Mobile, Jake waits for the prison gate to open, and "She Caught the Katy" punches in. Sets the tone perfectly.
The Democrats are going to retake Congress and send the entire Trump family to prison and they're making victory laps on social media like they're winning. 🙄
@verita84 @Oven_Operators_LU_88 It’s a certainty now that the Republicans will get eviscerated in the 2026 midterms ( just as they were in 2006) and a glide path will be cleared for an even further-left radical than Obama to win the presidency in 2028.
President Trump warned Senator Lindsey Graham and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for going to Ukraine and encouraging them to continue fighting Russia.

> A friend of mine runs an image board for furry art. He thought that people would use generative AI tools as a part of their workflows to make better works of art faster. He was wrong, it just led to people flooding the site with the results of "wolf girl with absolutely massive milkers showing her feet paws" from their favourite image generation tool in every fur color imaginable, then with different characters, then with different anatomical features. There was no artistic direction or study there. Just an endless flood of slop that was passable at best.
oh come on, the only issue here is the volume of slop it enables, humans create tons of this furry beatoff material purely by hand with no regard for "art".

Earlier, Iran's foreign minister warned against US involvement in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran saying it would be "very very dangerous".
So I guess we're all just gonna pretend it's normal that the president is committing acts of war and we're all finding out about it from his personal social media account? Cool.
@patricks@mas.to What's even worse is #Republicans aren't going to do a damn thing about it. The son-of-a-bitch is starting #WorldWar3 and those wankstains in #Congress are gleefully going to sit by and let it happen. #USpol #Trump #Iran

Residents of a Portuguese rural idyll where four vast mines are planned are among those who feel they will pay too high a cost for the energy transition Studies have shown that a societal shift away from private cars – such as creating walkable cities with good public transport – would greatly limit the rise in demand for lithium, as would halting the surge in SUVs that need big batteries.

@NoBeret @Darren Great now the Middle East will glow in the Dark, and what do you think Russia will do in kind? Thanks for the step towards ww III and the wise spending of our tax money, fucktard!
@NoBeret @Darren I voted for Trump because I thought he had a handle on economics AND because he said he was for peace. He just went against his word, so my support is now dropped as a result. It's not about drama, it's about life and death. You bomb radioactive materials, you disperse them, this is not good. We have enough accidents with the likes of Fukushima and Chernobyl, we don't need to be stupid on purpose.

"Billie Jean" was the first short film made for 'Thriller,' the biggest-selling album of all time. The short film for this No. 1 single, directed by Steve Barron, made history as the first video by a black artist to receive heavy rotation on MTV, and was later ranked by the network as one of the 100 greatest music videos of all time.
Michael Jackson's short film for "Billie Jean" was the first of three short films produced for recordings from Thriller, which continues its reign as the biggest selling album of all time with worldwide sales in excess of 105 million as of June 1, 2016 and in December, 2015 became the first ever album to be awarded triple diamond status by the RIAA for US sales alone. The ""Billie Jean"" single reached No. 1 in 10 countries in the spring of 1983, including seven consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 - becoming the second-highest selling single in America that same year.
"Billie Jean" was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America on April 4, 1983, and Platinum on February 4, 1989. The song won two Grammy Awards for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance - Male, as well as an American Music Award for Favorite Single - Pop/Rock and was also named the Single of the Year on The Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics' poll in 1983.
The short film featured a paparazzo attempting to photograph Jackson as he danced through an urban landscape. A specially created set featured steps and sidewalk tiles that lit up underneath Michael's feet. It is here that fans first saw some of Michael's best-known dance moves, such as spinning and landing on his toes. Many of Michael's steps and mannerisms in the video would become forever associated with The King of Pop.
When the chorus hit.he sprung into this dance that was unlike anything I'd ever seen, director Steve Barron recounted of Jackson's choreography in the video. "It was just extraordinary, instinctive. He pulled it all together and turned it into what we saw.The camera literally steamed up, the eyepiece steamed up, because of my heat from what I was seeing." Barron also recalled the crew breaking into spontaneous applause after Michael finished dancing.
The "Billie Jean" short film made history as the first video by a black artist to be played in heavy rotation on MTV, then in its second year. In 1992, the short film was inducted into the Music Video Producers Hall of Fame. MTV ranked "Billie Jean" as the 35th greatest music video of all time in 1999, one of three entries of Jackson's on the chart alongside "Thriller" and "Beat It."
🎵 L Y R I C S 🎵: She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene I said, "Don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one Who will dance on the floor in the round?"

It's a cute story, but I question its sincerity. Given the rest of the context, it's highly unlikely that the model hallucinated Star Wars Imperial Army.

On the eve of Day of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners, under a full moon, we disabled 10 police surveillance cameras here in New Orleans. We’re inspired by the uprising in Los Angeles, by Weelaunee Forest defenders facing repression in Georgia, by all people under occupation fighting to be free. We encourage like-minded folks to find each other in the night and attack–for the wild joy, for the burning rage, for Mother Earth. Fuck city council and their facial recognition bullshit. Fuck the police. Fuck a “peaceful” protest. There is no peace! Free Palestine! Free Turtle Island! Free Planet Earth!
