The only place I have found Palestinian voices is on Twitter, even as a broken site, and even with all the censorship of Palestinian voices. And the most heartbreaking thing is when journalists who were updating us with the most horrific updates, photos and videos tweet "this might be my last tweet," and their friends say "X's home was bombed and we haven't heard from them in 3 hours" "a new day and there is no news about X."

Galletasalada,

@timnitGebru thank you for speaking out about this. You are a great inspiration to those who want to make tech antifascist

Just got discriminated against for wearing a mask trying to make a deposit. Teller invented a policy that has never existed before, of doffing masks to be able to do a transaction. I refused and left. They claimed that it had always been their policy, despite that being a blatant lie. Especially galling because the same magachud teller had helped me before no problem, they just decided today was the day to start power tripping. I’m going to get the policy from their head office in writing and come back and wave it in their face. Wondering if other people have experienced this kind of bullshit.

bluesky has this cool feed where you can see every post from your followers and I wish I had that on mastodon

(i can imagine a few different ways to achieve the same thing here but it’s really nice to be able to just click on it casually)

Galletasalada,

@b0rk you can make a feed that is just your followers by making a list with all your followers but it doesn't update dynamically nor can you batch edit. BS's ability to easily edit feeds is something mastodon can emulate. I think tags were supposed to be the way to make feeds too but they don't really work that way.

Everyone who has ever been laid off was laid off because of mismanagement.

Galletasalada,

@sidereal @inquiline @dan613 So there is not really a direct linkage but industrialists in the era on both sides of the Atlantic all knew each other/invested in each others' companies/shared political ideologies. That's how Prescott Bush (GWB's grandpa) helped try to do the Business Plot to overthrow the US government in the 1930s.

Galletasalada,

@sidereal @inquiline @dan613 American tax policy has such devastating consequences, it's like functionally the equivalent of economic state planning a la USSR https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/commentary/ct-obamacare-health-care-employers-20170224-story.html

Galletasalada,

@inquiline @dan613 @sidereal The US employer healthcare system is based on the programs of German industrialist Alfred Krupp who was a racist weirdo who loved the smell of horseshit, but was unfortunately further left than most of today's Democratic politicians.

Galletasalada,

@sidereal @inquiline @dan613 I should say that Krupp Stalhwerke served as an inspiration for the company town/corporate social responsibility model that American industrialists like Pullman did more shitty with less benefits. The employer based system as we have it now dates back to 1942 when corporations had to find a way to spend money to avoid being taxed on it under wartime laws. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8689109/

Apparently my dentist died recently. Just keeled over and kicked the bucket while on his morning jog. This is what nobody is acknowledging about and vascular and neural damage.

You will probably be fine if you're vaccinated and it will feel like a cold or maybe not even like anything, and then you go to work and spread it, then weeks or even months later when you are trying to go and do some light exercise you just die.

need to recognize COVID as a and safety issue. They are some of the most at risk people for the effects of long COVID especially because HCWs in the USA have a culture of emphasizing exercise and also sleep deprivation. I'm no immunologist but that seems like a risk factor to me.

Really wish that I had created a virtual machine to run Adobe products in for work because then I could just nuke it from orbit now that the license has been disabled, because it's really hard to remove all the crap they install. Adobe products have the exact same features as software that used to be known as malware back in the day.

I think Americans really vibed with Coming To America with Eddie Murphy, because of the whole Nigerian prince thing. I have a family member from Nigeria and at least amongst Igbo people they were traditionally mostly governed by village councils rather than a monarch https://umunnaigbomanitoba.ca/igbo-history and the Obi of a town was more like a feudal lord or even a Burgomeister kinda guy rather than there being such a thing as princes of a realm.

Galletasalada,

@TheConversationUS @mishi @TexasObserver there is no need for you to be like this. The previous post I made, I mentioned India. I don't know why you need to be rude and abrasive and harmful. It's very strange and unnecessary

Galletasalada,

@TexasObserver @TheConversationUS The ethics of dissection basically mirrors that of other state institutions in the racist settler colony of USA. But it's just a little more obvious when medical students are commenting on how they were lied to & scarred by the knowledge that they contributed to the symbolic violence of using people's corpses without their consent. Everything happens as if there was an agreement between institutions that these poor, often black people don't matter as much as other people do. Saying means changing the situation so society and institutions act as if they actually agree with that statement.

Medical goes far beyond the borders of the USA, as well. My aunt tells me she had a real human skeleton that she took with her on the bus to and from medical school in a case. I just kinda muttered at the Thanksgiving dinner table that the skeleton was probably sold to the broker from somewhere in Asia, as India is one of the countries where historically a lot of medical skeletons came from. I have my doubts as to whether it was acquired ethically. I think, like with cocoa or coltan or other similar products, one has to assume that it wasn't ethical unless proven otherwise.

Galletasalada,

@mishi @TheConversationUS @TexasObserver it happens in the USA too https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-bodies-brokers/

It seems like a lot of liberal fears about a second Trump presidency revolve around the expectation that he will do to the white majority what US presidents have been doing to brown people for centuries.

Galletasalada,

@HeavenlyPossum I get this, and I agree, the US settler state has always been fascist. Trump does want to do it a little differently than he did before though. I do think Trump literally wants to put me in a concentration camp for being pansexual and nonbinary, and put everyone I love in a camp for being immigrants or the children of immigrants, so he has actually amplified the genocidal rhetoric, but that doesn't mean it was OK the first time, or when Biden continued his same racist ass policy for longer. So it's like yeah all presidents are bastards, but for me I would definitely have immigrant fam mortally threatened by a Trump Admin 2.0.

This is such a chilling example of how the media pushes a propaganda narrative despite the facts not aligning with the narrative. The World Health Organization said that hundreds of millions of people will need long term care from long COVID as 1 in 10 infections lead to it, but the headlines for the articles about the briefing are all about how "COVID deaths are down 95%" and it's like yeah that's what vaccination does, makes it so you don't die. The problem that is being ignored is the mass disabling. is no joke. is still a threat that cannot be ignored. at all times whenever possible, and and get a booster. Don't let the pandemic deniers gaslight you.

https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/04/1136052

A picture of text that reads: He said an estimated one in 10 infections now results in what's commonly known as “long COVID", "suggesting that hundreds of millions of people will need longer-term care" moving forward. As the emergence of the new XBB.1.16 variant shows, the virus is still changing, and is still capable of causing new waves of disease and death, Tedros said.

, did you know that your compost is going to be sent to Washington state to be turned into natural gas by Enbridge, the evil-ass pipeline corporation that has brutalized so many protestors against and ? https://globalnews.ca/news/9945552/enbridge-divert-break-ground-renewable-fuel-facility-washington/ They are going to take your municipal compost and compost from Vancouver, rot the food into methane, and send it off to be burned for power. This is somehow considered and somehow counts towards Washington state carbon reduction goals.

The is a perfect example of how capitalism fucks everything up. So many people worked so hard on securing UEFI against but having a goddamn image load was necessary for capitalist "intellectual property" to be enforced, thus opening this vulnerability for literally every Windows and Linux system with a hardware manufacturer logo loading in boot, which is most of them. https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/12/just-about-every-windows-and-linux-device-vulnerable-to-new-logofail-firmware-attack/

This isn't a security fail, it's a fail, because the social/legal regime of is actually unnecessary and oppressive, and in this case prevented people from designing secure systems.

Got what I am almost certain is again because one way masking is the norm in shitty eugenicist USA. My N95 protects them from me spreading it around more though lol, even though it can't protect me one way, I test and mask and isolate so the virus stops here. are negative but that doesn't mean anything. How many Americans are just going to work with what they think is a cold, because they have no sick time and can't get that precious positive COVID test that will stop the ?

    @LeftistLawyer when I used to work at a big box store it was decided by the corporate head office and they'd send out an email and some poor schmuck had to go out and change it, but they did it so often that I always assumed someone had just forgotten to put it back up
