did you know Amazon is evil? 

If you didn't already think Amazon was evil, here's a piece on how the contracts their home-brand delivery services run under force the contractors to cut safety corners, complete with examples of the resulting traffic fatalities:

Holy fuck jesus emissary of the prophets no

If your revolution or politics doesn't include active fore thought about disabled or not white people, throw it in the trash

If your plan refuses to put the stage on disabled or non-white people, put your plan in the trash.

If you refuse to rewrite your plan to include disabled or non-white people, I'm putting you in the trash.

re: uspol 

@Nowak@snouts.online It hasn't. Both parties are making a dance of it all.

@edgedestroys@snouts.online Gah..here we go again...

Rosh Hashanah, or Yom Teruah, if you're going by the biblical name.

See, QFC, I've saved you about 2 minutes of Wikipedia research, that you should have done! :ms_angry_steam:

There's no excuse..just none.

Anyway, on a more cheerful note, I've now got Memtest86+ on an 8cm CD, which would be handy to carry with me if a computer manages to get as far as booting before having problems with RAM.

..Yes, I have seen that happen a couple of times already. >.>

The truth about this guy will be informative..but it will really anger you first, just like it did with me.

Why ‘Just Ignore Them’ Is Terrible Advice for Dealing With Neo-Nazis

portland / cops / raids / important! 

from the PDX IWW GDC:

Earlier today a comrade in Portland had their home raided by the Portland Police in relation to one of the recent demonstrations. The Portland Police detained this activist on charges including rioting, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct. The police seized many items of clothing, some goggles, and walkie talkies. In these situations, remember to get all paperwork from the officers and look it over to ensure they are only taking what is listed on the warrant. Take pictures of any damage. Do not talk to the police. Once the police have left, or you are released, immediately contact the National Lawyer's Guild, your comrades, and the GDC (that's us!) to get the word out. It’s important to communicate about what is going on, and be upfront with your comrades and community about what happened while interacting with the police, and anything you learned in that process. We are stronger and safer when we openly share information and support each other through these experiences.

ProJared, ableism 

You know, for someone who is supposed to be innocent, Jared sure does love using the language of abusers and narcissists to assert his innocence. Not to mention his ableism is disgusting, calling his accusers mentally ill and dismissing them on that basis.

Oh, and look, someone already did the work of picking apart that pathetic video so you don't have to : twitter.com/Zenrotto/status/11

Literally all the conversation about him on fediverse was fine.

Was able to stay calm and didn't have a twinge of anxiety about it

I see memes on Facebook about his "innocence" and only now do I feel sick to my stomach and dizzy

Ugh seeing people talk about how Jared is innocent on Facebook.

I can't deal with that. I know they would interrogate me about it and I feel sick at the idea of not being believed.

Grateful for y'all who believes me and decried him.

@Jo I think he still is, he's attacking someone for having neurological conditions, calling them a liar.

if they are converting your effort into cash, you're a worker, and you need a union

it's a bummer but not a surprising one that youtube has refused to negotiate with the youtubers union

at least the article refers to these folks as workers, which youtube itself won't
