The weather seems broken the past few days. Every day seems to contain every know season and weather condition. Rain, cold, then a warm sun, then thunder, hail, wind and storm. And then I have a headache all day because of seasonal allergies and thunderstorms combined.
I think I have some guilt over going to Eurovision in Concert. I don’t regret it, but feel like I have to make up for it by going to pro-Palestine protests. I’ve added a few actions to my agenda
Never a bad idea to go to protests. Don’t beat yourself up for it too much, though.

are russia and china doing enough for palestine? 2min video
I think Russia and China both in their own ways have done serious legwork in destabilizing Western hegemony and creating the situation where Palestine for the first time in a very long time actually has a chance to be free forseeably. Without Ukraine destroying Western stocks, morale, exposing their weakness etc, this situation would be going even worse for the Palestinians. I think Russia has stuck its neck out enough, I would like to see both of them supporting Iran as much as possible. Does anybody know if they are? I assume they are, all being a part of the West’s “Axis of Evil” or whatever they call it.
i agree with you. the speaker was arguing about diplomatic actions against Israel which they could have done more.
I hope you all have a nice week :D
yes, and a merry new week to you as well, comrade phone
raccoons these days have no respect smh
Counter argument raccoons are the best animal
that is a factually incorrect statement and thus I will disregard it
Raccoons are the true proletariat animal stealing from rich people and eating from trashcans
I’m not saying they’re not in the top 10 but claiming that the only clade of large semi-aquatic rodents is not number one and the vanguard of the revolution in South America is unacceptable in this community and may lead to harsh measures
I hope you have a better one
wait my mom is a duck now?
Does your mom kwak?
… maybe… you dont know… YOU DON’T KNOW MY MOTHER
I see I upset you I am sorry I won’t refer to your mom again
She goes Honk instead
Thank you comrade Oppo I hope you do too!
You too :D
You too, comrade phone! Hehe
The derp is strong with this one
Bless
you too comrade oppo 🫡
😊👍🏼
I did not make this picture but this is in the Netherlands (cringe)
At least it’s the beautiful hilly part of the country and not the ugly polder part
Oh my , I thought it was turkiye for a second because how it looks . 🤣
No, you! :3
I have been thinking about this incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran–U.S._RQ-170_incident and how Obama’s imperialism and spying was the gift that gave us modern stealth Iranian drones.
How is the month half over? I haven’t even started on my work for the month yet. Where did the last two weeks go? I feel like I need to get someone to help me stay on track and focus on my work or something, like a personal manager.
I mean, how is it april already?
I know right? Feels like 2023 just started a month ago, not 15 months ago.
my friends’ group chat is talking about Iran’s attack and is repeating the “Israel stopped 99% of the missiles and drones, what an overwhelming victory for Israel” shit. I don’t have the energy or will to argue with them about it so I’m just ignoring the chat for a while
Ask them how much $ they needed to stop iranian old drones.
Tips for engaging with the US Military
if they live by u, like on a base, this is some good stuff to do. I can’t confirm or deny if I or my friends have engaged in any of this:
-
feed them dog treats: u can dress up like ur handing out free samples at the mall, and give the service members dog treats. it’s pretty fun
-
pretend ur out of gas: this is my personal favourite. somewhere near base pretend to have run out of gas. eventually a bunch of jarheads will show up to help you push ur car, stay inside slightly riding the brake. they’ll keep trying, let them, but just like really wear them out. for a fun twist, start ur car after they get exhausted and drive away flipping them off
-
set up online dates with them and then don’t show up. this one’s just funny and obvious
-
send terrible Grindr guys to their room: only do this to bad guys on Grindr but this is also really funny
-
This week had an extremely good start! 🇮🇷🇵🇸🇸🇾🇱🇧🇾🇪🇮🇶
I just want a single letter from Molotov, referenced in one of your other documents UN. How hard can it be?
Should maybe post it in the linked thread, but is the GenZedong matrix server planning to support sliding sync to be compatible with Element X and other matrix clients that will start using that as a base, like Schlidi Next?
https://github.com/matrix-org/sliding-sync/blob/main/docs/Landing.md
thanks to our magnanimous server host @Elara, it should now support sliding sync
It works! Thanks a lot. Those clients are mostly still in beta, but it’s nice to open up the option.
I think I’m finally doing this “touching grass” thing people talk about, I just got an e-bike a few days ago so I’m finally able to get out of the house in a meaningful capacity since I can’t drive and I’m horribly out of shape, this lets me get around to places I need to go somewhat comfortably on my own while still letting me get a decent amount of physical activity (certainly far more than the near-zero I got before)
I’ve done a few trips just for fun and it’s nuts just how much more you pay attention to and enjoy the environment compared to in a car, but today I did a grocery run and it was also very practical, I got a decent pannier bag I can clip to the bike that can be used as a shoulder bag or backpack and it holds a pretty decent amount
Very cool, outside time is a must, it helps in small ways for me I know. Anything better than zero is better, we all struggle to take care of ourselves. Victories add up. Props.
Anti-semitism was born out of the rejection of multiculturalism and diversity that jewish people brought to the different places they lived, a completely reactionary sentiment.
Now it is the israelis that reject multiculturalism and diversity! fucking reactionary shithole that place is, and they have the nerve to claim that they’re the real jews.
Pic goes hard
Do you believe in this entire discourse?
He states that from his credibly asian sources, that Israel planned to detonate tactical nuke mid air (EMP) to bring down Iran’s electric grid but got shot down/intercepted by Russian Air Force.
You will see no one covering this

follow up (claims another source)
Pepe is a weird fella, he has been a guest at Hudson/Desai podcast sometimes and does come off as a russian simp, even to me that i critically support Russia. So it might be entirely possible that this is just propaganda but then again he mentions Sy Hersh, i think we can say that he is a very trustable journalist.
If Sy Hersh confirms this, i will believe it. It is not unconceivable that Israel wanted to nuke them, or that they would hide the failure.
Edit: btw scott Ritter claims its wrong, Pepe answers it by doubling down, wtf is going on 🥶
there are still several unknowns. wouldn’t an operation like this involve more than one fighter, did the RAF shot down more than one? what are they even doing there in the first place?
Tell me more - who is “RealPepeEscobar” and why do we trust them?
No clue but he has been a guest sometimes at the geopolitical economy podcast hosted by hudson and radhika.
He mentions Sy Hersh in the tweet, lets see if he publishes something. Sy Hersh whistleblowed how the US destroyed the Nordstream pipeline.
pure fanfiction nonsense
