Sure, you love to show us people getting shot, but swear words are just too disturbing? This country... 🤡

@david_chisnall @josemurilo You know, back in the late 90s, when I was just about over NSCP's shit, I heard about Goog's hiring practices and I realized that, no matter that I had done [...] and I could be personally vouched for by [...] there was ZERO chance that the Googs would ever be institutionally even capable of hiring me because I had not spent years proving my intelligence by memorizing puzzles from every Martin Gardner book from the 80s.

Hong Kong protestors say:

"Do Not Split."

Do not condemn the people on your side who embrace tactics you disagree with.

Do. Not. Split.

"Who knows how much extinguisher ammo they have left. The cops are trapped under this bridge, more or less.

This happened because of POLICE VIOLENCE.

No cop cars were being set on until cops spent hours shooting and brutally maiming protestors all of today, as well as pummeling them with blunt force violence with batons and chemical weapons with tear gas.

This is the community of LA defending itself from police repression."

Idk how the trending tags feature works on here but I'm finding it hard to believe that #ICE isn't the number 1 trending topic today.

A trending bot seems to agree.

Someone replied that we shouldn't give up but they deleted the comment before I could reply, and I just want to say that I fully agree. We shouldn't give up.

@fromjason Hard same. And I get so much shit from people who treat me like “bro you’re one of us, wink/nudge/etc., why do you have to be like this” and they just don’t get it. Good riddance to all of them, though.

@adam and I won't be polite to people who demand I keep my elbows off the table, or people who suggest that a magical level of decorum will get them to finally care.

@adam I guess I must only write about gigawats and rainbows until they march us into the fields.

When he first followed me, I followed him back because it didn't click who he was. Then when I went on my sleuthing about #fosstodon history, I realized- oh shit. Since then, I was acutely aware of him following me and just waiting for him to unfollow.

I try not to ALWAYS post about the people hunting us because I know it's a bummer. But I'm not gonna shut up entirely.

Commenting so that the second comment on this post isn't contrarian nonsense.
