I put a lot of work into manually making the English captions, so if you have trouble with un-captioned YouTubePoops, don't worry! Technically this is a PTP? A PeerTubePoop? This is on a new PeerTube channel from my last one, since the old instance is shutting down and I'm moving away from doing video game commentary stuff. Edits are much more fun for me.

anarchist pol, re: all uncw'd usian bullshit in advance 

I just block anyone who argues that (distorted and filtered) demographics legitimize the violence of the state. I fled the south because of the repurcussions of that inane bullshit, so here's your bi-annual advance notice for stupid loud americans going on moral diatribes about elections. So you could say it is a bit personal given the impact this bullshit has had on my life.

Here's an anarchist critique of democracy, just another of many ways of "governing".

Deposit your vote in the replies and I promise I will give it the same serious consideration any government official would 🗨️➡️🚽.

This little rant is nowhere near as much a waste of time as an entire fucking "election year". The purpose of a system is what it does, not your immaterial patriotic bullshit.

I'm not really interested in random people following me anymore. If you know me, send me a direct message. Anything else will be denied. Regardless: for people interacting with my public stuff you should know my boundaries.

here are politics I do not vibe with:
- politics
- :tankies:
- 💸 (so-called "market anarchists" or libs)
- nationalism (grow up from wounded fairy tales)
- new age spiritualism / new athiesm
- divorced dad-ism (move on)
- missionaries / evangelists
- white people health cults (you are racist)
- Britishism
- paranoid, insecure settler
- journalist (derogatory)
- your *entire* personality is being an "____ parent"
- hippies
- CIS military apologetica
- cisgender apologetica
- fascism
- stallmanism, OSI and FSF techbro cults
- cable television commentary (I cut the cable for a reason)
- go to the polls! electoralism religious adherent
- resource scarcity-FUD hyper for eco fascists

- obviously anything antisemitic or transphobic
- pollsters, quizzers, and petitioners
- anti-piracy (MPAA's hiring, fuckface)
- legal justice system believer (lol, lmao)
- Firstname Lastname LinkedIn

- racist queer people, and not giving a shit when you are told that you are platforming them
- channers
- hippies (again)
- [Broccoli Haters](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_H)
- Meritocracy or Technocracy people
- :acab:​ (no feds, cops, enlisted people)
- White westerners getting off on constantly posting un-cw'd gore and genocide news of PoC, calling themselves an activist. You're just an asshole.

I wish anarchists were... anarchist. The dilution of the revolutionary anarchist aesthetic online to near meaninglessness has me uncertain about who actually has my back. For the record, when I say I'm an anarchist, I mean *all hierarchies* are bad and unsafe. All cops, all empires, all states. If you disagree, why is it in your bio and so core to how you style yourself online? It feels like a lie.

Good News, ICE Raids 

ICE was turned away from a Chicago elementary school. They were not allowed on site and they did not detain anyone. This is why resistance is important, and how we can actively fight.

MUTUAL AID POST TO MOVE - :boost_ok: [866/1400] 

I'm giving up on my original goal of securing a car before I move, because being in this town is severely affecting my mental health. Please read and share if you can.

UPDATE: Someone completed my GoFundMe but I had to use that money to catch up on bills and invest in myself so I can start making money independently again.

Edit- as I save my own money/pay bills where I live, I'll be adding and taking from this fund!

Japanese researchers develop peptide preventing #COVID19 infections

> they have developed a peptide that can bind to the spike proteins of #SARSCoV2 to prevent COVID-19 infections. ... The peptide can be stored in powder form at room temperature and be administered to patients through inhalation by dissolving it in physiological saline and converting it into a fine spray using a nebulizer.

URGENT: Bastion needs your help!

Hello all, this is Bastion's husband, Krechevskoy.

Bastion has been detained by ICE while entering the US. They are scared and alone, and they need your help.

Please, if you can spare even a small amount or share this link, it would mean the world to us.

Remembering how Greta Thunberg was immediately called an antisemite for holding a cute octopus doll on a photo in 2023.

Yet Elon Musk doing a full on sieg heil twice is reported as just "Meh, who knows", despite his documented history of repeatedly flirting with the far right.

Funny how that works lately, almost like accusations of antisemitism have been weaponised to silence those who speak up to power.

Sabot in the Age of AI

Here is a curated list of strategies, offensive methods, and tactics for (algorithmic) sabotage, disruption, and deliberate poisoning.

🔻 iocaine
The deadliest AI poison—iocaine generates garbage rather than slowing crawlers.
🔗 git.madhouse-project.org/alger

🔻 Nepenthes
A tarpit designed to catch web crawlers, especially those scraping for LLMs. It devours anything that gets too close. @aaron
🔗 zadzmo.org/code/nepenthes/

🔻 Quixotic
Feeds fake content to bots and robots.txt-ignoring #LLM scrapers. @marcusb
🔗 marcusb.org/hacks/quixotic.htm

🔻 Poison the WeLLMs
A reverse-proxy that serves diassociated-press style reimaginings of your upstream pages, poisoning any LLMs that scrape your content. @mike
🔗 codeberg.org/MikeCoats/poison-

🔻 Django-llm-poison
A django app that poisons content when served to #AI bots. @Fingel
🔗 github.com/Fingel/django-llm-p

🔻 KonterfAI
A model poisoner that generates nonsense content to degenerate LLMs.

US politics, computer touching, and protecting transgender people 

If you are not transgender, and you are in charge of software decisions and demographic information, here is a free tip:

Unless it is critically necessary to the function of your software, the best thing you can do to protect trans people at this time is to **not collect any gender information.**

There are almost zero cases where gender is relevant to the function of a piece of software. If your knee-jerk reaction is that your software does need it, please examine if that's really true, or if you just assumed.

Many non-transgender people think gender is a way to distinguish individuals. I search demographic records professionally. That isn't an adequate way to distinguish people from each other, it provides very little information. Many also feel gender is just a basic trait everything should ask about. Please recall that the safest approach to handling any sensitive data is to not store it at all.

If you have questions about something I've said here, please ask. I will answer your questions and we can talk about how to meet your goals.

Amount Currently Raised (Dental): $227

Let’s keep this “short” :)
Thanks to a generous person, I’ve made my goal, but I’m going to keep this post going for hopefully future appointments and of course life expenses

I’m hoping with the new insurance kicking in next month I hope that I don’t have to worry about paying the $146 for my meds, but I’ll have to continue to pay the $12/mo for the bullshit subscription fee 🙄

As always thank you for the help

The move is still happening but currently on hold so any help with that is also appreciated by getting things off my list ❤️

Researchers find a protein in the hemolymph (analogous to blood) of Australian oysters which has antimicrobial properties, including against biofilms of Streptococcus pneumoniae, a common cause of pneumonia. The oysters likely evolved the peptide to help prevent infection by similar microbes, and the discovery could help down the road in the development of antibiotics and antiseptics useful to humans! #clamFacts
