Can we talk about how clever Taika Waititi is? In 'Ragnarok' there's a joke about euphemistically referring to slaves as "prisoners with jobs". Why is that an amazing joke? Because in the US a lot of prisoners do have jobs. Which means they are enslaved. *chef's kiss* #MCU #Thor #DSA #Law
Screenshot from "Thor: Ragnarok" where Topaz is referring to the Grandmaster's slaves as "prisoners with jobs". This is excellent social commentary by writer/director Taika Waititi.

The billionaires aren't "winning at capitalism". They're acting like animals. They're mindlessly acquiring resources they don't need because, on some subconscious level, they feel like they're "supposed to". They haven't transcended humanity. They've regressed to an instinctual state. #Inflation

Wanna know why there is a rental crisis in a dozen countries? It's because after the 2008 crisis investors bought up massive amounts of rental property and they've been gouging us ever since. Illegal migration to the US (or Europe) is not a key factor. #Rent #Inflation #NL #EU #US #Migration
Research article from Sage that explores how Blackstone acquired a large amount of rental properties after 2008 and demonstrated to other investors that it was easy money. This, along with other factors, has led to rental crises in multiple countries.

Two weeks ago Netanyahu pledged to pull out of Lebanon and Iran agreed to peace talks based on this pledge. I said Bibi was lying and I was right, the IDF is still occupying 10% of Lebanon. So Iran has started bombing again. Iran kept their word, why can't Israel do the same? 🤕 #Iran #Israel #CNN
Screenshot of a post about a CNN article from late June. In the article Netanyahu pledges to pull the IDF out of Lebanon. Iran agreed to peace talks based on this promise. In the post I make the claim that Bibi is lying, he won't pull out of Lebanon, and the Strait crisis will continue. Sadly I was right, because Netanyahu wants a "forever war".

Forbes is reporting that Iran pulled out of the peace talks "without explanation". *faceplam* Israel violated the ceasefire, multiple times. Iran said they'd pull out of the peace talks if that happened. And people still treat Forbes like it's news instead of propaganda. Why? 🫠 #Iran #Hormuz

Never forget that The Punisher canonically hates members of law enforcement who want to idolize him. All that faux-fan posers (like Kash Patel) are doing by wearing that logo is showing that they've never read any of the comics. #Comics #Marvel #Punisher #Kash
Screenshot from "Punisher Max" where Frank explains that members of law enforcement are supposed to be primarily concerned with saving people, not killing them. He says that if they need someone to look up to they've already got one. His name is Steve Rogers, and he would be proud to have them. Kash Patel is an empty poser who has never read the comics.

One of the upsides of Ian Fleming is that he freaking hated supremacists, eugenicists, and all the like. The villain in "A View to a Kill" is the product of a Nazi eugenics program that made him blond, handsome, smart, and an absolute monster. He was brilliantly played by Christopher Walken.

There is reporting that Israel has already violated its ceasefire agreement with Hamas. So once again the lie that "Hamas could stop this anytime they wanted" is shown to be nonsense. And we must revisit the worst New York Times headline of all time: "Ceasefire Holds Despite Israeli Airstrike".
Image is a screenshot of an article in the New York Times that says "Ceasefire Appears to Hold Despite Israeli Strike". This article can be regarded as pro-Israel propaganda. Because a more accurate and informative title would be "Israel Violates Ceasefire, And Their Enemies Do Not".

And similar good luck will be needed in the mid-terms by Democrats who still take bribe money from Israel, to support that country's genocide. Israel spent a fortune getting Trump elected even though they know he wants to be a dictator. Netanyahu is not an American ally, he is an American enemy.
Image shows the 14 people who have accepted the largest amount of bribe money from the state of Israel. Notable people who have been bought by Israel include Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, Hakeem Jeffries, Ted Cruz, Dick Durbin, and Lindsey Graham. There is of course also Donald Trump. Israel supports Trump, even though they know he wants to be a dictator, because he supports their genocide, and Netanyahu cares a lot more about his land grab than he does about America.

Is it still the case that peer reviewers are expected to do the work for free, while the journals that publish the articles are allowed to charge unconscionable fees and make absurd profits? Because if so that might be part of the problem.
Meme is a screenshot from the website of a prominent scientific journal. In it one can see that the user is being charged $50 to access a single article. This makes it impossible for most people to read real science. And poor people can forget about it. This is the result of the global publishing oligopoly which should be broken up and destroyed.
