I'm sick of hearing from CCP apologist Tankies who call commemorating a massacre "misinformation".
Fuck you all.
Here's John Simpson, former International Editor at the BBC, WHO WAS ACTUALLY FUCKING THERE. Shut your holes.
"34 years ago in Beijing I saw the Tiananmen massacre unfold, from the first approach of the Chinese army APCs to the tank-defying man with the shopping bags. Each year bots and stooges say it didn’t happen. It did. I watched 40 people die in front of me."

Here’s some perspective.

Americans:
•Cancel student debt!
•Cancel medical debt!
•Make insulin free!

Most of Developed World:
•What is student debt?
•What is medical debt?
•Insulin is already free!

What GOP calls “socialism”—even conservative parties in most developed nations call a “human right.”

My list of #WWDC tips. Some only apply to people who are there in person.
- Drink lots of water. Always!
- Wear sunscreen, wear a hat, and stay in the shade when you can
- Talk to people! Ask them what they’re excited about; do not assume someone isn’t “technical”
- This is a work context for most people, so don’t flirt or otherwise make people uncomfortable
- Do not give anyone shit about wearing a mask. (Consider wearing one yourself!)

Jack boosting the lunatic RFK Jr. Is no surprise. Entrepreneurs, and particularly techbrahs, are vulnerable to the great-man-outsider narratives because they see it as resonating with their own stories. They’re suckers for all sorts of Kirkland-brand Ubermensch poseurs.

“S.E.C. Accuses Binance of Mishandling Funds and Lying to Regulators

The S.E.C. said the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange mixed “billions of dollars” in customer funds and secretly sent them to a separate company controlled by Binance’s founder, Changpeng Zhao.”

(they helped finance Musk’s takeover of theBirdSite)

This new tech marvel is way out of my price range, but it's still a fair price for that much innovation. I want one…but I won't be getting one in my lifetime, sorry to say.

one might well ask if *they* have finished domesticating *us*

“the personality of infected men showed lower superego strength (rule consciousness) and higher vigilance …men were more likely to disregard rules and were more expedient, suspicious, jealous, and dogmatic. The personality of infected women, by contrast, showed higher warmth and higher superego strength… more warm hearted, outgoing, conscientious, persistent, and moralistic. Both men and women had significantly higher apprehension…”
