On the other hand at least in Jerboa, there’s a specific icon for banned people.

Besides being a fucking ugly graph where you can barely read the node labels, I also like that this one pretty much admits democrats are clustered along the other reactionaries.

They also don’t describe how they even got that clustering (or the network itself) in the first place. I think it’s safe to assume they either nicked it from the web or got an inexperienced intern to just do whatever with a Jupyter notebook.

Is it a network of “common posters”? Of links in sidebar? In cross-posts?

Data science is what happens when “programmers think they are experts in everything that deals with computers” is taken to its most extreme. This field needs a purge, for the sake of all actual statisticians.

Science is when you never show your methodology, because it came to you in a dream a linear regression.

Edit: why the heck is Anarcho_Capitalism plotted between Feminism, feminisms and Radical_Feminism?

And if Russia takes Ukraine then the rest of the EU is next.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

One particular thing about the Yankee “love” for indigenous people is that they effectively believe that indigenous people are dead or aren’t part of their country any more. That means they can go on and on about how much they care about indigenous history, say they want to protect indigenous landmarks but don’t ever talk about the currently living indigenous people fighting for their land and rights, or their many imprisoned comrades. This is true for other American settler states too.

This is why they’ll post black and white pictures of long dead leaders (challenge: have them name those leaders and their nations), but if you ask them about AIM or even living leaders like Peltier they’ll think you’re making things up. If Israel manages to somehow stablish themselves in the Middle-East to the level the the US did in North America (highly doubtful), they’ll celebrate “Palestinian Peoples’ Day” the exact same way.

How long until liberals start saying that the ICJ is controlled by Putin’s ally, South Africa?

As capitalist, he is only capital personified. His soul is the soul of capital. But capital has one single life impulse, the tendency to create value and surplus-value, to make its constant factor, the means of production, absorb the greatest possible amount of surplus-labour. Capital is dead labour, that, vampire-like, only lives by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks.

I’m starting to think Marx wasn’t just using an allegory there.

I wonder if he’ll double down on the “it’s just a joke”, like

It was just a prank to make y’all think I have child porn on my PC

It was just a prank that I got arrested for having child porn on my PC

It’ll be one of the few times I’ll thank cops for their good work.

Rising rents coupled with high borrowing costs and low wage growth have hit some especially hard. “Lower income households are not keeping up,” Goldman said. “Everything looks great but when you look beneath the surface, the disparity between the wealthy and nonwealthy is widening dramatically.”

Everything is great, you’re just poor. Have you tried not being poor?

Officials taking cash and cryptocurrency bribes or helping people eligible to be called up to fight to leave Ukraine are among the charges, said Mr Zelensky, in a video posted on social media.

wtf I support military corruption now. These are probably the Ukrainian officials who have saved the most Ukrainian lives, and they’re getting the treatment of Germans who helped Nazi targets flee from Germany. What an odd coincidence.
