“So basically my couch has electricity and I use it to charge my battery powered doorbell”
“Okay that makes sense”
Now explain it to a Japanese samurai from the year 1218
"do you know how waterwheels grind up grain in a water mill using the force of running water? We found a way to create a huge source of force that runs all the time and can transfer its force over long distance. I can tell you in more detail, but that's the basics. Now that is a chime that has a mechanism that one can press instead of having to open the door to let you know that you are waiting to be let in. It requires the transferred force to make the mechanism work and that wire is how we transfer the force to the chime."
This is the kind of messaging you really want to be seeing from the global hegemon
Self-proclaimed progressive liberals in this country really really hate when all those evil commies present them with a framework for understanding things. They'd much rather analyze fascism using fascists' own framework of race realism. Which could mean nothing.
The division of labor in the manufacturing workshop presupposes the capitalist’s unconditional authority over human beings, who are merely parts of a total mechanism that belongs to him. The division of labor within society places opposite one another independent commodity producers who recognize no author-ity except that of competition, i.e., the coercive force exerted by the pressure of their competing interests, just as in the animal kingdom the bellum omnium contra omnes preserves every species’ conditions of existence to a greater or lesser degree. Thus the same bourgeois consciousness that eagerly lauds the division of labor in the manufacturing workshop, where the worker is permanently annexed to a specialized area and unconditionally subordinated to capital, that celebrates this as a form of organization that increases labor’s productive power, is just as quick to criticize all conscious attempts by society to monitor and regulate the social production process, decrying them as attacks on the “inviolable” property rights, freedom, and even the self-determining “genius” of the individual capitalist. Tellingly, the harshest thing enthusiastic apologists of the factory system have to say about the prospect of generally organizing social labor is this: it would transform all of society into a factory.

I am Alaa… Can you hear me?
I am a woman from Palestine Gaza 🇵🇸.
I once had a modest but loving home with my husband, Mohammad, and our four children: Mahmoud, Somaya, Mostafa, and little Sila.
Our house was small, but it held our world — filled with warmth, laughter, and dreams.
Mohammad worked as a tailor, using his hands to stitch dignity into our days, providing just enough for us to live in peace.
But in a single, brutal moment… everything disappeared.
An airstrike hit our neighborhood.
Our home collapsed under the force of the explosion.😭💔
We escaped with nothing — not clothes, not memories, not even the toys my children cherished.
Mohammad’s tailor shop was demolished by Israeli bulldozers, leaving him without work, without tools, without hope.
Now, we live in a torn, fragile tent.
It doesn’t shield us from the cold.
It doesn’t protect my children from hunger or fear.
Rain seeps in. The nights are long and cruel. My children cry themselves to sleep.
I am a mother who cannot provide warmth, food, or safety.
I watch them suffer — I hear their tiny whispers asking when we’ll go home again… and I have no answers.
I am Alaa😓.
I don’t ask for much.
Just a chance to live with dignity again.
Just a moment of mercy.
If you hear me… if you feel my pain…
🌸Please help us🌸🙏.
Even the smallest act of kindness can bring light into our darkness.

11. Is a Ruger GP100, based on the scalloped section behind the cylinder and wooden insert in the synthetic grip
12. Is a S&W Model 10 based on the proportion of the size of the cylinder to the trigger guard, fixed notch rear sight, narrow hammer, and small grips that do not fill the upper portion of the frame behind the trigger guard

honestly you can convince parents that just about anything is necessary for their kids’ well-being except, like, respecting their boundaries/identities/basic human rights.
like, people will spend hundreds of dollars on classical music brain training kits for literal newborn infants because someone on good morning america said it might make them 0.3% smarter but god forbid you tell them to stop reading their kids’ fuckin diaries or use their correct pronouns.
Pro tip! If someone ever says they would fuck their own clone, you can make the conversation different by saying you'd also fuck their clone.
CHECK OUT WHAT I JUST SAW AT THE ZOO.
Y’ALL.
I DON’T EVEN PLAY OVERWATCH BUT I SCREAMED.
Y’all can be screaming every time you see a gorilla
OK, maybe you haven’t played Overwatch – he looks just like this guy
So I think one of the zookeepers must have been an Overwatch fan… Awesome
