there’s a restaurant near me that will have a singer on the patio singing older overplayed hits and my brain gets poisoned with shit like Rock With You by Michael Jackson endlessly. I thought everyone had it, like there is constantly a song playing in my head even behind my thoughts. But apparently not everyone suffers from this?? Sometimes when extra stressed in my mind it will be like a loud club that I can’t think in because the music is too loud.

Major speculation that this raid was a photo op, but it’s worth noting that activists who were tipped off showed up to the park early to throw up flyers and comb through the park to alert neighbors

A full soccer field that was active this morning was completely cleared by the time ICE arrived

I’m seeing reports from activists that they knew they were planning this big raid for a while and tipped people off, would make sense there were no arrests if that was the case unless it was just a photo op.

I could see countries making agreements with the US to hold deportees, then give the US lists of people from their country that they want detained. Like if you are a journalist opposed to a right wing regime, that regime could tell the US your name and they could target you with ICE.

One of the few RPGs of the era that was two player too, I feel like it wasn’t obvious, I didn’t realize at first and it was amazing when me and my siblings discovered that, especially after always taking turns on the classics like Chrono Trigger.

I saw it a while ago before he got popular so I’m thinking not but I don’t know where it’s from.

It’s part of the Zionist worldview, like the US removing natives and colonizing to the Pacific Ocean in the name of Manifest Destiny. I think generally believing actors are rational is good but Zionism is not a rational ideology. The people in the West backing them are either benefitting through weapons contracts and other types of business or are Zionists themselves that are acting as they believe God wants them to. This is supported by mountains of statements from Israeli officials, media, and average settlers.

Thanks for your good posting on Denmark, in the US we don’t hear much about them specifically. Most of us on the hex know better but many burger-brained probably think they are ruled by far-left socialists. They hear “social democrat” and think it’s some type of communism.

It would be funny to see this idea spread and evangelic liberals start literally worshipping Mamdani and the virtues of socialism

Another fast-growing Israeli app which has been featured on Oprah, in the New York Times and on CNN is Fooducate, whose founder, Hemi Weingarten, flew bombing missions for the Israeli air force.

It’s odd how many horrors Oprah has at least a small connection to.

I love those sorts of terms in Japanese, like popcorn is ポップコーン (poppukōn) and katsuretsu, shortened to katsu, is from the English word cutlet.

Why isn’t this an emoji, this is important

Americans maybe soon to learn the specific differences between concentration, labor, and death camps, most will probably have overlap in function though.

Lot of good answers here, but also, welcome!

This is a fine place to post your question also, sometimes people comment musings for discussion on the general megathread but you’ll get more replies with a post.

I haven’t been here as long as many but it seriously is like an oasis of kindness for a queer leftist compared to any other online group I’ve seen. People here aren’t kind to Nazis or nazi-adjacent posters though, as it should be.

People who complain about hexbear on other instances are nearly always liberal or further right trolls who come and post some obvious bullshit, get berated for sharing reactionary propaganda, then often get banned because they get mad and show their true racist or transphobic colors and start using slurs or generally become toxic.

Pretty much anyone I’ve ever seen come and argue in good faith, with a real misunderstanding or false info, or just something that they disagree with here will be met with reasonable clarification.

Once it’s known it’s actually a deathcamp they can take it down in a day and scrub all evidence. And they probably intend to have people held be at risk of dying from the weather, like hurricanes and such that, oh no, ‘nobody could have predicted’ because they have completely gutted hurricane and disaster preparedness from NOAA and other agencies.

If this is the same data I saw from another article the researchers showed that cleaning the caps with compressed air before putting them on bottles reduced the plastic by a large margin.

You should ask yourself why it is that the countries that are arming Ukraine are the exact same countries that are arming Israel. You think it’s just a coincidence or something?

The ideology of just opposing everything the western bloc supports is continually vindicated

I feel dread and such often but I look forward to a positive future and do everything I can that I believe would help that come to be no matter how unlikely, because only seeing negative futures just makes them that much more likely. The present is already ruled by misery, I won’t let them steal my hopes too.
