Wearing a LGBTQ+ shirt with a text that says ‘all colors are beautiful’, which is of course ACAB. My manager, whose husband is a cop, came to me and said ‘wow, cool shirt! All colors ARE beautiful!’ and I thought that was funny.
gottem
Leaving Reddit and X because this past week has been chaotic and I felt that I couldn’t take it anymore, is the world going absolutely fucking mad? Yankee Stadium (FTY btw) honoring a hateful, homophobic, piece of crap; the NFL too! James Hetfield vows to take care of this dude’s kids for the rest of their life, what the fuck? Reddit and X are filled with misinformation, calls to punish the left, non-sensical arguments constantly being thrown as facts. For a few days, I could not make sense of things!
I use Reddit for mostly non-political stuff, but last week was chaotic. My use of X has been sporadic because I know it’s a shithole, but even the accounts I follow for science and stuff like that were posting or reposting a heavy dose of insanity. Things make more sense in here <3
whats up with celebrities trying to take care of his kids? the dude was richer than them lmao, i know Hetfield is MAGA but also saw that David Ortiz vowed to do the same? BRO THE PEOPLE FROM YOUR COUNTRY NEED IT MORE THAN HIS KIDS
Those two shitholes of a social media must go what most people don’t realize is that most of the content on twitter and Reddit are just bots that side of the internet is dead
James Hetfield was a fake story. Had to look that up because that would have gotten a deep belly laugh from me as I have an inside joke about Metallica secretly funding modern right-wing influencers.
From our Brazilian comrades! They unfurl a 70-meter Palestinian flag on the Sao Paulo cable-stayed bridge.
From an anti-zionist Jewish organization in Mexico:
Translation of the message:
- There is no neutrality in front of a genocide
- Mexico, Unite with the group of the Hague!
- T-shirt message: Jews for a Free Palestine
This is my 100th comment on Lemmy. Figured it’s only fitting to have it here in the General.
Thanks to everyone in the community, I’ve been learning a lot here <3Stealing some inspiration from Oppo, here’s a picture of a mighty-fine critter.
I think this community shouldn’t use the Juche calendar anymore, because the DPRK and KWP have ceased use of it as of the 1st of January 2025 in all official media. So it’s not really honoring Korea anymore.
Will we still be able to practice Juche necromancy?
I think its mostly a joke.
That’s what I’ve deduced at this point.
I mean it can’t be that serious considering the community logo is Xi with laser eyes lmaooo
Based Egyptian store (Except for the Sisi picture and half-based for Putin)
Seriously, why couldn’t they have put a picture of Nasser up instead?
I’m watching this new movie, Warfare, about some soldiers in Iraq. It’s a little hard not to notice that the good guys seem to be using the locals as human shields.
I remember actual military aficionados & and veterans alike roasting the movie for depicting US soldiers anachronistically using modern gear & kit.
An intentional design choice as like all American war movies it’s supposed to be pro-military.
Recent PCV/JCV event in Venezuela. This took place in front of the monument dedicated to the USSR’s victory over fascism in Caracas.
Some protest today in The Hague by the Dutch right (so basically everyone) against migration. Lots of football hooligans firms present. Also probably all of them since there is no left wing club sadly.
Since I’m active on football ultras pages as I used to be active in that scene, I am now spending my day arguing with hooligans online.
To keep the mood better, enjoy Belgian team Standard:
Our Ajax hooligans are fascist and zionist, but at least I see this sticker in some places in the city.
Think all of the Dutch groups are far right. PSV has their share of Nazis too. Even had a banner for a while saying ‘PSV groet zwarte piet’, together with attacking anti Zwarte Piet protesters in Eindhoven.
Can’t think of a single non right wing group actually. Den Bosch is supposed to be friends with Standard but they have had their racist incidents too.
Damn shame about the fucking Carrefour sponsorship. Ruines the shot.
Intervision is done, Vietnam won. Deserved winner.
Uff, the performance was really amazing! 🔥
Weekly Palestine demo in my city today and our party invited Chris Smalls from the Amazon union struggle and the Freedom Flotilla as he was at our festival this weekend. Pretty dope.

Ah I wish that I could buy and show a billboard like this in my country:
Very cool! I translated it with Yandex, but it doesn’t seem entirely accurate.
The translation should be like this:
- MAY 9, 1945 GERMANY WAS DEFEATED
- SEPTEMBER 3, 1945 JAPAN WAS DEFEATED
- STALIN - THIS IS A VICTORY!
The hair on my arms is standing up 🤯. Thank you! 😅
this translation reminds me of the “world is a fuck” meme
