Good morning. This might be my last message from the city of Rafah. The occupation [Israel] is carrying out crazy fire. Violent belts. As you’re hearing, there are helicopters. Planes and gunfire from the vehicles. There’s a complete invasion of the city.

We don’t know what is going on in Rafah. The place that the occupation [Israel] claimed to be safe. This is happening all of a sudden; the people didn’t go out. They didn’t do anything. More than thirty targets were hit in just minutes. People were asleep. We woke up to the bombing, to the shooting from the helicopters. It was horrifying. Unacceptable.

This might be my last message. Please relay it to the world.

Rafah was Palestinians’ very last safe zone. There is quite literally nowhere else left to go. And now it’s being bombed with airstrike after airstrike.

im about to lose my shit

WE GOT ANOTHER ONE BOYS

@mellointheory i’m on the phone with my partner and i read this out loud to them and they said, “is this person gaslighting or lying to you???”

bro. bro. look.

this is sneegsnag wearing his own merch. he has a dog named boomer (hence the dog patch) and he models his online shit after lancer deltarune. he has a youtube channel. he has a criminology degree. he speedruns fnaf: sb. he has a twitter.

this is his profile picture on twitch. please. do a single google search. search his name on any site. he’s literally fucking real. here is a screenshot from one of his streams

he literally exists. there’s fanart of him on tumblr and on twitter. why would i waste my time gaslighting people into believe he exists. the entire reason this post blew up is people laughign at someone believing sneegsnag was made up. half of the entertainment in this post comes from people still believing sneegsnag is made up.

“nooooo you cant compare other genocides to the holocaust” unfortunately for you we all exist in the mortifying context of history and jews arent magic space aliens whose history is wholly disconnected from every other group on the planet

like if we truly grapple with the fact that horrific genocides are a core part of modern history and not an aberration caused by Crazy People we can start to unravel the apocalyptic white supremacist nightmare we are currently in

the value system that dictates that entire groups of people can be treated like cattle, murdered, raped, torturted and experimented on is the same value system we have in place in modern liberal democracies that values property over people and which, if not stopped, will very soon turn our planet into an unliveable hellscape

the holocaust is as much a part of it as is the armenian genocide, as is the congo genocide, as is the namibian genocide, just to name a few

Sure piracy is a crime but I THINK. It’s even MORE of a crime. To have a website that has all the hallmarks of a sketchy piracy site, complete with the hundred and fifty ad pops that redirect you to another site every second click and may or may not give your laptop a virus, and THEN when your viewers have navigated the minefield to their desired content, you require them to sign up. For a “free trial” that involves ENTERING THEIR CREDIT CARD INFO and the fine print mentions that they’ll be charged 50. Dollars. If they don’t cancel in time.

technofeudalism:

the funny thing is that i don’t think younger people - and i mean those under the age of 40 - really have a grasp on how many of today’s issues can be tied back to a disastrous reagan policy:

  1. war on drugs: reagan’s aggressive escalation of the war on drugs was a catastrophic policy, primarily targeting minority communities and fueling mass incarceration. the crusade against drugs was more about controlling the Black, Latino and Native communities than addressing the actual problems of drug abuse, leading to a legacy of broken families and systemic racism within the criminal justice system.
  2. deregulation and economic policies: reaganomics was an absolute disaster for the working class. reagan’s policies of aggressive tax cuts for the rich, deregulation, and slashing social programs were nothing less than class warfare, deepening income inequality and entrenching corporate greed. these types of policies were a clear message that reagan’s america was only for the wealthy elite and a loud “fuck you” to working americans.
  3. environmental policies: despite his reputation being whitewashed thanks to the recovery of the ozone layer, reagan’s environmental record was an unmitigated disaster. his administration gutted critical environmental protections and institutions like the EPA, turning a blind eye to pollution and corporate exploitation of natural resources. this blatant disregard for the planet was a clear sign of prioritizing short-term corporate profits over the future of the environment.
  4. AIDS crisis: reagan’s gross neglect of the aids crisis was nothing short of criminal and this doesn’t even begin to touch on his wife’s involvement. his administration’s indifference to the plight of the lgbtq+ community during this devastating epidemic revealed a deep-seated bigotry and a complete failure of moral leadership.
  5. mental health: reagan’s dismantling of mental health institutions under the guise of ‘reform’ led directly to a surge in homelessness and a lack of support for those with mental health issues. his policies were cruel and inhumane and showed a personality-defining callous disregard for the most vulnerable in society.
  6. labor and unions: reagan’s attack on labor unions, exemplified by his handling of the patco strike, was a blatant assault on workers’ rights. his actions emboldened corporations to suppress union activities, leading to a significant erosion of workers’ power and rights in the workplace. he was colloquially known as “Ronnie the Union Buster Reagan
  7. foreign policy and military interventions: reagan’s foreign policy, particularly in latin america, was imperialist and ruthless. his administration’s support for dictatorships and right-wing death squads under the guise of fighting “communism” showed a complete disregard for human rights and self-determination of other nations.
  8. public health: yes, reagan’s agricultural policies actually facilitated the rise of high fructose corn syrup, once again prioritizing corporate profits over public health. this shift in the food industry has had lasting negative impacts on health, contributing to the obesity epidemic and other health issues.
  9. privatization: reagan’s push for privatization was a systematic dismantling of public services, transferring wealth and power to private corporations and further eroding the public’s access to essential services.
  10. education policies: his approach to education was more of an attack on public education than anything else, gutting funding and promoting policies that undermined equal access to quality education. this was, again, part of a broader agenda to maintain a status quo where the privileged remain in power.

this is just what i could come up with in a relatively short time and i did not even live under this man’s presidency. the level at which ronald reagan has broken the united states truly can’t be overstated.

A couple of these started earlier (before Nixon, for-profit health insurance was not allowed, and Nixon also started the war on drugs specifically to target minorities and anti-war activists), but Reagan doubled down on them and made them even worse. It was the difference between sliding down the side of a hill and jumping off a cliff.

Theres an adage my friend sometimes says to me


It was reagan

And if it wasnt reagan it was nixon

And if it was nixon it got worse under reagan

“It’s necessary for Palestinians to die because otherwise Israelis would never be able to exterminate Hamas!” “Iraqi citizens had to die because the US had to retaliate for the Iran-backed drone attack!” When will you learn that Arab people are not just collateral fucking damage. When will you learn they are not a means to an end. When will you stop dehumanizing Arab people in your endless attempts to justify the mindless slaughter that has been taking place for years, but which has intensified beyond belief the last four months. Why do you need to be told to treat Arab people like they’re human. Why do you need to be told this. Why do you need to be told.

Palestinian landmarks have been completely demolished in the name of exterminating Hamas. Thousands upon thousands of Palestinians have been killed in ways so brutal that some on-site journalists have admitted that they couldn’t bring themselves to press down on the camera. Children and women are living in famine, in sickness, in agony every day. How could you look at all that and use the same tired excuse of “Well we have to take care of Hamas!!” like why are you so anti-Arab racist that it causes you to be out of touch with your own humanity? How do you have it in your heart to see innocent citizens murdered as nothing but collateral damage? How would you react if it were your family that was genocided? How would you react if it were you?

RECALL POST! huge listeria outbreak in the US & canada that has been ongoing for YEARS, with dozens of foods recalled!

posted february 10, 2024

fucking hell. what the fuck. CLICK THE LINKS FOR MORE INFORMATION, INCLUDING SPECIFIC PRODUCTS. there will be more updates. this recall is ongoing and more products are being recalled by the day.

“The FDA and CDC, in collaboration with state and local partners, are investigating illnesses in a multi-year, multistate outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes infections linked to queso fresco and cotija cheeses manufactured by Rizo Lopez Foods, Inc., of Modesto, California.

This outbreak includes cases dating back to 2014 and is currently ongoing.”

DATING BACK TO -> 2014 <-

listeriosis, the infection caused by listeria, can become very serious, and can cause death, miscarriage, and lifelong disability. most infections are not severe. listeria typically makes you sick within 2 weeks of exposure, but it can take as long as 3 months after being exposed to get sick. listeria is the third leading cause of foodborne illness deaths in the united states, and there have been confirmed deaths from this outbreak.

rizo-lopez foods supplies dairy ingredients to dozens of different brands making dozens of different types of foods across the entire country.

recalled products include:

  • salad kits and salad dressing
  • taco kits
  • bean dips and salsa
  • corn bites
  • cojita cheese, queso fresco cheese, ricotta cheese
  • sour cream and yogurt
  • sandwiches and wraps
  • other freshly made foods
  • …and other products containing dairy ingredients sourced from rizo-lopez foods, from brand names such as

Bright Farms, Campesino, Casa Cardenas, Dole, Don Francisco, Don Pancho, Dos Ranchitos, El Huache, Food City, Fresh Express, H-E-B, La Ordena, Marketside, President’s Choice, Ready Pac Bistro, Rio Grande, Rizo Bros, Rojos, San Carlos, Santa Maria, Tio Francisco, Trader Joe’s, 365 Whole Foods Market.

and freshly made food from various stores. for a good chunk of these products, all prior expiration dates are being recalled. many of these foods have been potentially contaminated for years.

directions from the CDC:

  • Do not eat any recalled products.
  • Throw them away or return them to where you bought them.
  • Clean the refrigerator, containers, and surfaces that may have touched the recalled products.
  • Listeria can survive in the refrigerator and can easily spread to other foods and surfaces.
  • Call a healthcare provider right away if you have these symptoms after eating recalled products:
  • Pregnant people usually have fever, muscle aches, and tiredness.
  • People who are not pregnant usually have fever, muscle aches, and tiredness. They may also get a headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, or seizures.

Listeria is especially harmful to people who are pregnant, aged 65 or older, or have weakened immune systems. This is because Listeria is more likely to spread beyond their gut to other parts of their body, resulting in a severe condition known as invasive listeriosis.”

you can check the ongoing list of recalled products as well as more information about the outbreak in the US through the FDA link or the CDC link.

for canada: the canadian recalls link to the US FDA + CDC investigation for more detailed information, but you can keep track of rizo-lopez recalls in canada here.

check your fridge, check your freezer, check your emails and voicemails for recall notifications, check in on others, clean contaminated surfaces thoroughly, and stay safe. do NOT fuck with listeria!

this outbreak and associated recalls affect food commonly eaten during the superbowl! which is tomorrow! please check the links for the recall list if you plan on eating or serving anything dairy, or if you know anyone throwing a party!

superbowl in a few hours! check your food!!

When I was a teenager and still on Neopets I was part of a pretty big Star Trek guild and eventually became part of its council, with the solemn duty of creating weekly polls. Well one day I created the poll “Which would win in a fight? Borg Cube or Death Star?”. Naturally, since this was a Star Trek guild, the answer was overwhelmingly “Borg Cube”, but someone did have the rationality to point out we were biased.

So I look up a pretty prominent Star Wars guild and message one of their council and ask them to poll the same question and get back to me in a week. They do, and naturally the fuckin geeks said “Death Star”.

So then I look up a Stargate guild and messaged the lead council member, saying the same thing, and they get back to me almost immediately saying that the Death Star would immediately one-shot a Borg Cube but they would never be able to do it again to another Cube. And I took that wisdom back to my guild and we were mollified, and for one moment the Nerd World was peaceful.

you gotta be able to say “die”

you gotta be able to say “suicide”

you gotta be able to talk about “sex”

they’re uncomfortable topics, YEAH for SURE

because LIFE is uncomfortable. Death and suicide and sex and pain are straight up going to happen. not having words for the way it discomforts you doesn’t make it more comfortable, it just makes you less able to reach out about it.

even more vital, you gotta be able to say words like “rape”, “abuse”, “queer” or “racist”. cause we fought fucking hard to name those experiences. to identify “rape” as distinct from “sex” and “racism” as distinct from “acceptable behaviour” and “queer” as distinct from “invert”

like the function of communication is not to minimise immediate discomfort. we gotta be able to talk about stuff that’s hard or sucks or causes difficult conversations.

This is what’s so goddamn terrifying about the Internet slowly collapsing into the same 3-5 websites–if Facebook deprioritizes you for saying “sex” and TikTok shadowbans you for saying “suicide” and Twitter X locks your account for saying “racism” we’ve lost a lot more than just the culture of the old weird internet
