Zero is a great number of teevees to own

NPR (National Pandemic Reinforcers) did a segment that started with, "For most people, if not all of us, pandemic masking is a thing of the past...."

Then the segment went on to talk about how lots of Olympic athletes are wearing masks and avoiding large groups, to limit the chance of getting sick and performing poorly. It also mentioned other athletes, like the Finnish hockey team, who took neither of those preventative measures, and are now in fact quite sick (the team even had to cancel a game).

Some people would see Olympic athletes wearing masks as an endorsement. Not NPR, I guess!

somebody at one of my jobs likes to use an AI [artificially inept] notetaker

i missed a meeting and so i got an email afterwards with the notes from said AI notetaker

the notes consisted a description of the someone else objecting to the AI notetaker on privacy grounds and then people agreeing to turn it off

and even in that one paragraph they got people's names wrong, and messed up who it was that objected

absolutely hilarious i was laughing my head off

Shout out to this hotel employee standing up to the gestapo and doing the right thing, if anyone knows how to help get their needs met let’s fuckin do it

Friends everywhere: horrified by the murder by #ICE in #Minneapolis this morning? Horrified by the false claims by officials about a "vehicle ramming" when eyewitness testimony says it was a coldblooded killing?

Remember what your city or a city close to you did in 2020 after George Floyd. We in Minneapolis need you again. We need that response again. We need your help. Cause a ruckus, get in the streets, block ICE, be water, spread fire.

Pass it on. This city has shown so much bravery so far during this fed occupation. We need yours now too.

Notes about resisting #ICE occupation, from various comrades...

👉 Enormous chats are fucked and extremely ineffective. Break down into smaller geographical and/or affinity chats with a spokescouncil type model

👉 Feds tend to have an easy time intimidating/ignoring polite peaceful observers in vests (altho these people do still sometimes slow them down). They do not like people going goblin mode at them. Go goblin mode.

👉 City police propaganda that they will not help ICE has been very successful, to the point that libs will sometimes literally call the cops when they see ICE activity and make things hella worse

👉 Learn and use SALUTE or similar to report accurate info. If you don't know what that is, learn now before you need it. If people are consistently not doing so, or otherwise spreading rumors/paranoia/other useless info, find them a different role.

👉 Two common modus operandi for fed squads are either hitting up every business/apartment building/etc on a street, and/or picking a chain and then spreading out to (e.g.) every Home Depot in the area

👉 Feds love the worst fast food chains like Chick-Fil-A and BWW, you'll always find them there with cars unattended at lunchtime

#Minneapolis #Minnesota

SALUTE

@handle i feel like some of the stuff by @hakan_geijer is in this realm

truly a bummer that in so many places it seems to be so much easier to be part of a community when you're a hateful or ignorant fuck with terrible opinions

i am once again asking for people who demand that "politics" be placed behind a content note, to define what the hell "politics" means to you

Listening to the Strangers podcast with the author of "A letter to the trans teens thinking of giving up", and it's a really needed wakeup call imo to us trans adults who tend to catastrophize the state of things.

"ople, you know, who have been living as a trans person in the world for like, let's say 10 years or less, and often like five years or less, were responding to the Scarmetti decision with panic. And we're saying things like, you know, this is. This is going to kill trans kids. This is a death sentence for trans kids. Not being able to access the gender affirming care that they have been able to access will be deadly for trans kids....

" ... I think that that being the only public and visible response, particularly from trans adults, I think that's also dangerous because they can hear you. Like, the young people are looking to us for information and for guidance and for community and to be there with them. And the overwhelming response from the sort of adult trans community was like, welp, that's it for you, kid. Bummer. And, like, tearing their hair and, like, grieving and like, oh, these kids, like, they're dead. That's it. They're dead. And I was like, they're not. They're not fucking dead yet. Like, be here with them, you know, like, we don't. We don't need to propagate this narrative that there is no future for trans kids without a Skrmetti win. Like, do you really think that the trans community, the existence of transness, the ways that we care for each other, the ways that we, like, bear each other up and make space for each other and get each other what we need in ways that have already been invented and have been being used for decades and decades and in ways that haven't been invented yet?

The featured zine from Strangers In a Tangled Wilderness this month is "A Letter to the Trans Teens Thinking About Giving Up", and it seems to me its a great one to stick all over places that teens might find themselves in your city. It's half size (print as usual and cut once), so easier to be discreet about giving it out or picking it up: https://www.tangledwilderness.org/features/a-letter-to-the-trans-teens

They also have a podcast out with the author, find it on @ChannelZeroNet

The mainstream news ain't gonna tell you when the concentration camp prisoners revolt:

https://unicornriot.ninja/2025/immigration-detainees-revolt-at-notorious-florida-detention-camp-report-says/

does ne1 else ever have cryptpad documents that get stuck on "syncing changes, please wait" and how do you fix it?

(Last boost) who can think of something that’s not a national flag to put on one’s vehicle (as a hotel towel white person) that could potentially serve the same function of ICE pulling you over and wasting their time

occasionally i check the front page of reddit and today one of the top posts for me was "genuine question: why are so many people who still wear masks queer?"

lets go team Q #maskup baby

(i presume everyone reading this already understands why but if not, holler)

@igd_news no$hu drop when

The current air quality index for #Minneapolis, #Chicago, almost all of #Minnesota, #Wisconsin and much of #Iowa, #Illinois and #Michigan is currently hovering around 175-200, unhealthy for everyone. Protect yr lungs and wear a mask out there fam!

(map as of 1pm central time July 31 on airnow.gov)

i swear, some motherfuckers out here like "yeah our praxis is anarchist militancy inspired by the uprising of 2020" and then someone asks "what are you up to lately" and the answer is like "uh, we did this campaign to legalize street vending?"

cool, enjoy tu elote, hasta la pasta
