UA: Бан ТікТоку був передбачливий. Але те, що люди пересідають на комуняцьку соцмережу зі скаженою цензурою на зло своєму уряду - це феєричний крінж 🤦‍♂️

EN: The #TikTok #ban was quite predictable, but everyone jumping to some #commie 's social app with crazy censorship to spite its own #government is next-levell #cringe 🤦‍♂️

In interviews, several members of the U.N.C. chapter of #Alpha #Epsilon #Pi, a #Jewish #fraternity, said they were ⭐️disappointed that the money raised on their behalf was paying for a party.

They said they would 🔥rather that a significant portion of the money go to a charity that ✅supports Jewish organizations or ✅relief efforts in Gaza.

“The use of our actions to promote a narrative that we were some
❌right-wing, MAGA heroes
has been a gross misrepresentation and a disservice to many of those who were actually there,”
said Oliver Levine, a junior at the university and the president of its Alpha Epsilon Pi chapter.

Two dozen or so fraternity members at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill shielding a wrinkled American flag from pro-Palestinian protesters who had already taken it down once.

Republicans, including Donald Trump, were quick to highlight the episode in speeches and videos.

But a GoFundMe campaign created for the fraternity brothers captured the most attention.

Its organizer, #John #Noonan, who has worked for a number of Republicans in Washington, wrote on the #GoFundMe page that “#commie #losers” had invaded college campuses
and that the U.N.C. “#Brohemians” had protected the flag from an “#unwashed #Marxist #horde.”

So, Mr. Noonan said, he needed America’s help to “throw ’em a #rager.”

In less than a week, he raised $515,492.

A moment of heated emotions over the war in Gaza had become the impetus for a giant party that Mr. Noonan said would feature #beer, country #music and #Greek organizations.

The party, which Mr. Noonan is calling “#Flagstock,” is scheduled for Labor Day
— the location has not been disclosed because of security concerns
— and will feature musical guests closely aligned with Mr. Trump.

⚠️But despite all the pomp, it has prompted frustrations on the Chapel Hill campus, ⭐️most notably from many of the fraternity brothers who surrounded the flag on the school’s quadrangle that day in April.

The New York Times · Fraternity Brothers Balk at a $515,000 Party for Defending the FlagBy Eduardo Medina

w00t! While searching for things to do in #Lodz, I learned something about #Polish #milkbars that I didn't know before!

lodz.travel/en/tourism/where-t

' The first Polish milk bar was established in 1896 in Warsaw. In Łódź, the first milk bar was opened in November 1949 at 13 Piotrkowska Street. ' (..) ' Although the peak of popularity of milk bars falls on 60s and 70s of 20th century ’ (etcetc…)

I was before in believe that milk bars were an invention of the #commie era.

I thereby stand corrected.

Yesterday we lost one of the icons of 80's #AmericanHardcore punk, #GaryFloyd (1952-2024) of self described "#commie fag band" The Dicks from Texas who participated in the 1984 #RockAgainstReagan tour sponsored by the Yippies and whose band released definitive punk albums through both the SST and Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles labels. Relocated to San Francisco, his oversized personality & reputation was infamously paid tribute to by fellow ATX shock rawkers the Butthole Surfers who entitled a song after him, and his stand out strong and soulful vocals earned his next band #SisterDoubleHappiness a major label contract on Warner Reprise in the early 90s, plus the opening slot on the #Nevermind tour with #Nirvana.

The Arkansas born bad boy had a complex contradictory nature that could have the gay bookstore, south of market hole in the wall cruising barfly just as quickly holed up in a monastery and putting his music career on hiatus at the drop of a Bud long neck. He deeply contemplated Hindu and Buddhist religious themes, preached kindness to animals, with an earnestness that might seem a contrast to his nasty drag queen act, where he could be found on stage pulling liver from his panties and throwing it at the audience.

Floyd released several blues inflected solo albums after the 5 album run of Sister Double Happiness, including 6 under his own name, plus titles via the monikers #BlackKaliMa and The Buddha Brothers. His songs were covered by bands such as Mudhoney, Jesus Lizard, D-Generation, Trapper Schoepp and my ol band The Bedlam Rovers. Gary created portrait art, wrote an autobiography, and participated in indie films including a documentary about the early days of The Dicks in Austin TX.

I want to give a special shout out to Dave MDC (Millions of Dead Cops) who encouraged Gary Floyd to bring his band from Austin to San Francisco over 40 yrs ago, where he was able to connect and become such a vital part of an alternative music and LGBT community over the decades... I have a lot of Gary videos I've been shooting over the last 35 years, and I'll post some of them over on my Lil Mike's Vidiocracy Facebook page in the coming days. I want to always celebrate his music, his art, his heart, his wit, his wisdom and his inimitable sass & swagger...

Sail on Sailor! After being hospitalized last wknd, he passed circa 5 pm May 2nd and is survived by his longtime partner Thom and what is left of his ravaged organs is being considered for tissue donation.

María Asunción Mateo is the widow of #RafaelAlberti, a #PuertoDeSantaMaría born poet from Spanish Generation of '27 who lived through #CivilWar in #Spain and exile
He was #Commie

When Alberti remarried, she was 40 years younger than him.She recently published "My Life with Alberti" facing accusations in 1999 when he died of greedily, unhingedly and compulsively hoarding the poet and then his legacy, the Alberti Foundation, in a kind of praying mantis behavior

WANTED: a leftist/commie in ( #AotearoaNZ )
#aotearoa or #australia
( #leftist #commie )
That is interested in starting a
Podcast on either local NZ politics alone, or to talk about and compare what is happening between Australia and Aotearoa, and analyze the situation and try to refer back to unknown history as well (which I'll need help with if possible)
Potentially looking for a #team of trustworthy lefties to make this happen.

I dislike all governments. But I like how the French respond to the fuckery of their leaders.

In Britain, we just mutter a bit and then put Love Island back on.

BUT as a good , I don't blame the British people, I blame the lack great leadership, most prominently from Starmer and his Blairites.

But said this better than me: "The world political situation as a whole is chiefly characterized by a historical crisis of the leadership of the proletariat."

#Youngkin is ... not a good governor for #Virginia.

I mean, leave aside his hyperbole about Biden wanting to steal your gas-guzzler and replace it with #Commie #batteries. He's basically saying, "I'd rather see Virginians unemployed then have them getting paychecks from a Red #Chinese company, or local communities getting tax revenue from Commies." Yeesh.

@ubergeek @evan I mean, I didn't say "infinite", I said "unbounded". Also, no. Unbounded over time doesn't require growth even under market pressure.

The only thing that requires infinite growth is the board bulshitry to hike derivatives. Derivatives aren't intrinsic to capitalism.

That said, our version of capitalism is collapsing together with the planet. Gonna be even shittier over time. )

I agree with you to an extent, but #commie #bastards have fucked up my country and we have barely recovered by now. You seem to overgeneralise a bit like a commie, so I hope you'll understand my tone. I hope you aren't one.
