Loading up this bad boy with Sabra hummus (bad) to point at my enemies and Cedars hummus (good) to send kisses to my friends

The clip of Tim Walz’s kids crying & cheering for him made me cry. Also makes me think about the families of Gaza, the children left parentless, the parents carrying what remains of their children. Feels like America is fighting for the right to make families and slaughter them.

Notre Dame burned by accident and people around the world donated millions of dollars to restore a building; Palestinian holy sites are being bombed by Israel, and hundreds of civilians are murdered as a result, and no one bats a fucking eye. I feel like I’m going fucking crazy

Sorry, you can't have free books. Free books are only for feeding the ai plagiarism machine

It really does not bode well for our society that politicians and corporations keep trying to destroy both entire repositories of knowledge and culture and our access to them while also championing AI tools that consistently plagiarize and provide incorrect information

I have been told to stop stealing muffins from the bakery. Unfortunately, it’s the only way to keep my lucrative muffin stand in business. Everyone is fine with this.

In a normal world, today 630,000 students from Gaza are supposed to start their educational year, but in the genocide era, today they lost the second educational year, and instead they are waiting in the water, food and aid distribution lines. Gaza, September 2024.
