In other words, the Dotard wants American history to be whitewashed, that 1.5 billion arcres of land were never seized from Indigenous peoples, the Chinese never continuously deported, Black slaves never ran away from abuse and mistreatment, and women didn't wait 144 years for the right to vote. 😱

it was committed to an “unbiased presentation of facts and history” and that it would “make any necessary changes to ensure our content meets our standards.” Smithsonian should stick to their guns and present, without bias, the facta and history of this country.

I really miss the old Sweden!
From South Africa’s ANC to Chilean socialists, in the 1970s, liberation movements around the world had few greater allies than Swedish prime minister Olof Palme. He used high office to speak out for the oppressed abroad — and to build an internationalist movement in his homeland.

How to Play and Enjoy Slither io !


Introduction
If you’ve ever found yourself with a few minutes to spare and a craving for something fun, fast, and slightly chaotic, you might want to check out Slither io. It’s a browser-based multiplayer game that combines the nostalgia of the classic Snake game with real-time online competition. Whether you’re just curious or hoping to grow the biggest snake on the board, this article will walk you through what the game is, how it works, and a few helpful tips to make your experience smoother.
Gameplay Overview
At its core, Slither io is simple: you control a snake, and your goal is to eat glowing pellets (orbs) to grow as long as possible while avoiding other players. All the snakes are controlled by other people playing at the same time, which means you’re not just trying to beat the game—you’re trying to outlast real players.
Controls
You can play on a computer or mobile device. On a computer, you use the mouse to steer your snake and the left-click to boost. On a touchscreen device, just drag your finger to control direction and double-tap to speed up. Boosting makes your snake move faster, but it costs some of your snake’s length.
The Objective
There is no “end” to the game. You keep going until your snake crashes into another player or the wall, at which point your snake explodes into glowing orbs, and it’s game over. Other players can then eat the orbs you leave behind. The goal is to grow as large as you can, earn a high score, and maybe even make it to the leaderboard.
How to Get Started
1. Visit the Website
To play, go to Slither io. No download or account is needed. Just choose a nickname, customize your snake’s appearance if you want, and click “Play.”
2. Customize Your Snake
You can choose different skins, colors, and designs. It’s a fun way to make your snake stand out in the crowd. Some players even use their national flags or team colors.
3. Start Small, Think Big
When your snake first spawns, it’s tiny. This can be frustrating at first, but the early game is about being cautious and collecting smaller orbs. It’s okay to hang around the edges of the map and avoid larger snakes until you’ve grown a bit.
Tips for Playing Better
While Slither io is easy to pick up, getting good at it takes a bit of practice and patience. Here are some beginner-friendly tips:
1. Play defensively at first
Don’t chase after other players too aggressively when you're small. Focus on collecting scattered orbs and staying away from danger zones, especially near the center of the map where action is constant.
2. Use boost wisely
Boosting is useful for escaping tricky situations or stealing orbs after a big snake dies, but overusing it will shorten your snake. Use it strategically.
3. Circle smaller snakes
Once you're long enough, you can trap smaller snakes by curling around them. Just be careful not to trap yourself in the process. It’s one of the most satisfying tactics in the game.
4. Follow the giants
Big snakes often cause chaos. When they die, they leave behind a feast of orbs. If you hang around safely near them, you might be able to swoop in and grab some of the leftovers.
5. Watch out for sudden movements
Other players can boost into your path and take you out instantly. Stay alert, especially when you're near a crowd.
6. Use the minimap
There's a small radar/map in the corner that shows your position. The center is usually the busiest area, while the edges are quieter and safer for beginners.
Why People Keep Coming Back
Part of the charm of Slither io is how fast and unpredictable each round can be. A game can last 10 seconds or 30 minutes—it all depends on how careful (or lucky) you are. And because you’re playing with real people, every session feels fresh.
There’s also something oddly relaxing about guiding your snake through glowing trails of orbs, even if you’re not aiming for a top score. It’s a nice balance of competition and casual fun.
Plus, the fact that you can jump in and out without logging in or saving progress makes it perfect for short breaks, study pauses, or moments when you just need to switch off and do something light.
Final Thoughts
Slither io isn’t about fancy graphics or deep storytelling. It’s about simple, instant fun that anyone can enjoy. Whether you're looking to kill a few minutes or test your reflexes against strangers across the world, it’s a game worth trying.
Just remember: everyone starts small, and part of the fun is figuring out your own play style. Some players go slow and steady, others dive straight into the action. There’s no single right way to play.
So, next time you find yourself bored or just in need of a mental break, head over to Slither io and give it a shot. Who knows? Maybe you’ll make it onto the leaderboard—or at least have a good laugh trying.

#UNICEF :Amid soaring temperatures, many families in western #Gaza City are getting displacement orders again.
Ten-year-old Abdel Karim’s mother, Kamela, says, “This is the 15th time I was displaced until I arrived here, & I'm diabetic. Life in the tent is very hard, it protects neither from the summer heat nor from the winter cold.”
Children need stability & access to aid at scale.
Most importantly & urgently, they need a ceasefire.

The 65 Project is a bare-knuckled attack on attorneys who defended anything to do with Trump in 2020 or the subsequent years. ...with Fractal analysis we can show NGO A, gave dough to NGO B, who gave dough to NGO C – who gave dough to the 2 kids on the 65 Project – and thus they are all liable because the ties show they all support those nefarious activities. We are looking at BILLIONS in damages plus punitives – from obscure orgs who fund this crap for decades.

I guess Hitler didn't commit Holocaust, because he could have done it faster.

First they came for the trans community and I spoke out. They said I was deviant, they said I hated women, and they tried to silence my voice.

Then they came for the immigrants and I spoke out. They said I was unamerican, they said I hated my country and they threatened me with deportation.

Then they came for the judges and I spoke out. They said I was a traitor to law and order, they called for my job, and they threatened me with jail.

Then they came for the journalists and I spoke out. They branded me fake, they spat the word enemy and they put my name on death lists.

Then they came for the Senators, the Mayors, and our elected representatives and I spoke out. They said I was inciting violence, they said I was promoting chaos, and they sent armed soldiers in tanks to my city.

Then they came for the teachers, the librarians, and the protestors and still I spoke out. They pushed harder. Arresting, banning, deporting, murdering. Because democracy is dangerous when it does not serve them, and a democratic voice that will not be silenced the most dangerous of all.

Eventually they will come for you. And there will be nobody left to speak out.

Footprints in the Chamber

One night I dreamed I was walking in the camp surrounded by goyim. Shekels from my account flashed across the sky. In each loan I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints; other times there was only one.

During the low interest periods of my life I could see only one set of footprints, so I said, "You promised me, vicarious chicken that holds my sin, that you would absolve me. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?"

The 6 gorgillion replied, "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you to the chamber."

British police are such fucking faggots, I cannot imagine what kind of piece of shit would want to be a British cop in its current state.

They arrested some kid on a skateboard and put points on his driving record before he even had a license, and they confiscated his skateboard because he didn't have insurance for it.

Once the Muslims turn on British cops, nobody is going to protect them.
