What's the deal with the constant capitalism-brained takes from social.coop users

I love Star Trek as much as anybody else, but you know what I'd really like to see?

A science fiction television show that doesn't place us on a military/quasi-military ship with a military-like command structure.

Oh and VCs of course, Medium *is* a darling of the startup industry after all.

in case you missed it: me.dm - it seems to have launched about a week ago.

This is the instance operated by Medium, a for-profit tech company and blog silo. Unsurprisingly, I'm already seeing 'thought leaders', follower collectors, and cryptocurrency junk showing up.

Deeply confused right now at someone elsewhere accusing me of being a tankie (pejorative) while simultaneously commenting that tankies are 'based'

police violence 

@joepie91 meanwhile, warning a cop about one's own violence is not sufficient because it is then suddenly a threat

police violence 

Always incredible how many people think that "well, the cops warned you" is somehow a justification for them to use violence

death to authority, death to those intent on forcing it on us. death to tankies.

Dat standaard "dames en heren, hier spreekt de politie", he, wanneer een protest uit elkaar getrokken wordt... betekent dat dan dat je je als enby niet aangesproken hoeft te voelen? 🤔

Rust compiler flags? Oh! You mean like 🏳️‍⚧️?

Ghost kitchens really are just capitalism'd soup kitchens full of deception, aren't they

lewd meta 

Should I be horny on main (with appropriate CWs)? Why / why not?

Psa: don't just boost the first post of a good thread. The entire thread won't federate on its own!

Include at least the first and the last.

why can't we have stories about ordinary people surviving and trying to rebuild society into a better form where they can help each other and be peaceful now that the oppressive capitalism is gone

trying to find meaning in the chaos

trying to find something good even after the world went to fucking shit

i hate a lot of zombie movies because they are essentially copaganda/military propaganda disguised under the sauce of post apocalyptic aesthetics

re: NL politics, but in English 

Information is still trickling in, but at least this time it seems there's *less* of a gap between enforcement against climate protesters vs. fascist farmers.

Oh look, one of the arrests was for, loosely translated, "offending a cop". Yes, that is a thing here.

"Rijkswaterstaat heeft op verzoek van de gemeente Den Haag een deel van de Utrechtsebaan van de A12 vanmorgen besproeid met een hete zoutvloeistof. Die voorkomt dat actievoerders zich kunnen vastlijmen aan het asfalt en zorgt ervoor dat het wegdek niet beschadigd raakt."

Volgens mij lokt de #politie en gemeente #denhaag alleen maar escalatie uit.

TIL that there's something called "Silicon Valley Bank" at the same moment that I learned that every assumption I would have made about something called that would have turned out to have been correct.
