I need you to listen to the deeply broken text-to-speech narration from this Google blog post. They removed it after people pointed out how bad it was, but I promise you this was actual audio on a real official Google blog post.

Alice Duer Miller

Alice Duer Miller (July 28, 1874 – August 22, 1942) was an American writer whose poetry actively influenced political opinion. Her feminist verses influenced political opinion during the American suffrage movement, and her verse novel The White Cliffs influenced political thought during the U.S.'s entry into World War II. She also wrote novels and screenplays.

That’s the post. Probably been posted before

First time in my life. It's been a week now, the employer is not talking to us, and the workplace is closed.

The solidarity is amazing. I've never felt closer to my coworkers. People are mad and it's beautiful.

AMA I guess, but I'll be vague on details tbh.

they keep talking as though we fundamentally want the same things but have different views on how to achieve it. no, i want the amerikkkan state and its allies wiped from the face of the earth and every one of its politicians, media cheerleaders, military brass, etc shot, even the ones who are ok with me being trans! i don't want a "lesser evil". i want the people to assert themselves on the world historical stage and drag you and everyone like you from your comfortable homes. you are the modern incarnation of the Nazis, you are actively carrying out the worst atrocity i have seen in my life, and yet you think you can convince me to do anything for you, let alone not actively work for your overthrow and execution???

Disclaimer: As far as I know, I'm not going to die soon. I'm asking this question in case that changes someday.

So I was just thinking about this and thought it might be a good idea to leave your family some money while fucking over the bank on your way out. The creditors would go after your worthless estate only to find the recently purchased assets are missing, but you're already dead and can't be charged with fraud. And if you do some decent opsec, they can't implicate your family either.

I assume without laundering the money, your family would not be able to use it on anything big. And your available credit wouldn't be enough to make a massive quality of life improvement for your loved ones. But even if they only spend it on groceries and hobbies for a few years, it would make a nice goodbye gift.

Am I missing anything that makes this a horrible or unacceptably risky idea?

Hot Take: Should Leftists Convert Nazis?

Because:

1.) Fuck the troops. US soliders in Vietnam were every bit as genocidal as IOF troops today.

2.) The whole idea that Vietnam was holding any POWs after the Paris peace accords was a total lie made from whole cloth. There has never been any evidence presented that there were any POWs being held after the war and anyone who spends 10 minutes on the internet reading about it will come to that conclusion.

Seeing this flag burn, in emoji form, would be nice.

"The most moral army in the world" being absolute creeps

Example in link

Last night i dreamt that i was explaining to someone how before Reagan the CIA was HQd in Wyoming and agents got paid extra to live there with their families. Then in the 80s the HQ was moved to California and because of it being a more populated and “nice” state the benefit programs were scrapped for the spooks and it was a whole thing.

Mind you I'm not american, my brain just invents new ways of illustrating how cartoon villain the US government is that they dont even treat their feds decently

What i described above never happened afaik it’s just something my brain made up but i swear of read it on here id be like “yeah ok sounds plausible”

Death to America.

Like how would they react? Would they party in the streets? Would they cheer? Would they go back to brunch? i wanna know.

Same Picture

Micro and Macro

I haven't really come up with anything smart to say about this. Probably because pointing out hypocrisy is pointless most of the time. Like, it doesn't matter, no one cares.

But the 1932-33 Soviet famine (commonly called "The Holodomor") gets all the attention for being a man-made famine. Despite the fact that no legit historians believe this, even those who hate the USSR like Robert Conquest. At the worst, the Soviet leadership and Stalin were slow to act and believe reports on the ground (don't @ me, Stalin and the Soviet leadership admitted this themselves) but once they did understand the problem, the immediately put what resources they could into mitigating the famine. It was an incredible human tragedy, but it wasn't the result of intentional genocide.

Meanwhile right now, in Gaza, there is an UNDENIABLE intentional, artificial famine being conducted on the part of Israel with the full intention of genociding the population. What is happening in Gaza is what libs think happened in Ukraine in the 1930s. And yet, so many Americans are either supportive of the actions being taken, or are at the very least passively supportive of the US' and Joe Biden's role in this intentional famine.

I'm not even sure what to say, it's such a disconnect.
