  • Chris Smalls, cofounder of the union for amazon workers, was on the latest Freedom Flotilla for Gaza and has been severely beaten by Israeli cops in detention. Smalls, who is Black, was the only abducted member of the crew to suffer such violence. he and the other activists are on a hunger strike https://xcancel.com/GazaFFlotilla/status/1950053773835108448#m

  • oh yeah he was absolutely involved with epstein's crimes, i just think him calling it a "privilege" to go to the island is telling

  • he might actually be 18, the only requirement to run for governor is that you are registered to vote in the state, a friend of mine "ran for governor" here in college around that age as a joke since all you are required to do to is fill out a paper or two. to actually get on the ballot is a different story though

  • kojima was inspired by the bokka porters in japan, they dont use carts because they are mostly traversing marshy meadows and steep slopes i think. sam bridges carries the stuff because its cooler that way

  • i fucking hate the spread of ai so much. i've noticed for a while now that in ddg wikipedia pages will now have an ai summary instead of just using the first sentence or two for their subheader when i have never heard of anyone having any problem with the old way. now search results from reddit will do the same thing. i think it's an unlabelled ddg thing because when i searched for the same thing on bing i didn't get the ai summary for the wiki page, though i did get the summary for the reddit page. the ai summary had a pretty big spoiler for the thing i was looking up too so i am glad i had finished it beforehand lol

  • just finished s2 of the wire, my first time watching the show. while i've enjoyed it a lot so far and it is definitely better written than most cop shows, i thought the way they killed off frank sobotka felt contrived and poorly written. i get that he had to die for the sake of the metaphor but he was a smart guy and he didn't seem at all like he wanted to die, so having him choose to go meet up with a bunch of gangsters under a fucking bridge right after talking to the cops felt like it was really dumb and out of character. reminded me of a similar thing towards or at the end of tokyo vice s1 which i thought was so dumb it made me stop watching the show altogether. i won't stop watching the wire but this felt like the first major misstep so far
