Fuck the anglo internet and fuck DDG, they used to be good.

Is the U.S.-Mexico border easy to cross? We went to find out : NPR

How many people die crossing the US-Mexico border?

Since 1998, at least 8,000 undocumented migrants have died attempting to cross the border from Mexico to the US. Their journey often involves traveling through desert areas where there’s few sources of water, steep rocky terrain, and temperatures reaching 118°F during the summer.

Extreme heat, drownings, and falls are some of the frequent causes of death for those trying to cross.

Already given him important advice such as:

If you ever want a break just ask your co-workers what harry potter house they are - libs love that shit 20 minute break easy.

and

If you're going to quit / get fired just start telling callers you're taking donations to get Bill Clinton's name removed from the Epstein flight logs.

Open to other helpful suggestions

Edit: His description of his supervisor is hilarious but I dunno how much I can share. Apparently they got a Glengary Glen Ross style motivational speech today. This is the best thing to happen to me in a while

I feel like the TikTok ban is only the start.

The US is pissed that it couldn't 100% control the narrative on Israel genociding Palestine and sees the internet as the reason why. They've already put a lot of effort into homogenising and controlling the narrative on most big social media sites. I wouldn't be surprised if they started cracking down more under the guise of "stopping misinformation"

"Ukraine’s entry this year is the rapper and singer duo Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil."

Jerry 'Heil'

“There are many wars now in the world and, of course, it is not easy to constantly keep attention on yourself so that people do not get tired of our war."

EDIT: upon further research of Jerry Heil:

'Heil began using her alias at the age of 15. After registering for the Russian social media service VKontakte, she used the name Jerry Mouse, referencing the cartoon character of the same name. She then changed Mouse to Heil, citing her desire to use whatever American surname she saw on the Internet first.

She has expressed her embarrassment for the backstory behind her stage name, calling it "moronic".'

Brazil ex-president Bolsonaro hospitalized again with skin infection

Sun, 5 May 2024

SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said on Sunday he had to be hospitalized again in the northern city of Manaus due to a skin infection caused by a bacteria, adding there is no forecast for when he could be discharged. Bolsonaro said on social media he was hospitalized again with erysipelas, a skin disease which he had in 2022 and again on Saturday, when he was also briefly hospitalized, according to a spokesperson.

Bolsonaro is ineligible for political office until 2030 for spreading electoral misinformation during the 2022 election, when he lost a bid for reelection to leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. He also has been formally accused by police of fraud related to his COVID-19 vaccination records.

that's it. that's the post.

Saw this photo from an action and thought it was neat with the rainbow. Nature providing some intersectionality here

So I made a fun little 9/11 post cuz I was bored at work, and I think I got a few people a little worked up. My b. I want to try this again, with a little more brevity. Bush did 9/11. That is a fact, no matter which way you stick those pigs (no offense to actual pigs )

To clarify for everyone still on their high school debate team, "Bush" refers to any member of the Amerikkkan political dynasty, while "did" refers to their complicity. "9/11" refers to two distinct events. One event being the attacks on the World Trade Center in NYC, 2001. The other event is the 1973 coup against the Allende government in Chile.

No, I wont be posting any links cuz idc, do your own research if you doubt me. The point is that HW Bush was a collaborator with the fascist regime of Pinochet in Chile, HW Bush and his goons, like Cheney and Rumsfeld setup the board for two wars in Iraq. The Gulf War was cited as one of the motives for 9/11 by bin Laden himself, alongside a laundry list of other imperialist actions supported or outright orchestrated by members of the Bush family.

You could take this as far as you want tho. The Bush family had business ties to the bin Laden family, etc. etc. But no matter how you slice it, whether an outright conspiracy or just straight up blowback from their own imperial hubris, they are complicit. It's history, not my opinion, "Bush did 9/11" is just true. Debate the extent of that complicity all you want, but at a certain point its just pedantics cuz you think "truthers" are annoying, debate shit.

Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED Talk, please be civil in the comments

You can apply your expertise to literally any news situation. Like explaining how the pro-palestine protestors are all paid informants for china based on one of them doing the pee pee dance in front of a port a potty.
