I love my people and it's amazing to see so many of us turn up today, but it's like herding very friendly cats 😂
another person has self-immolated in protest of the ongoing genocide happening in Palestine. his name is Matt Nelson, he self-immolated in front of the Israeli consulate in Boston, he is the 5th known person to have done this. Before he did this, he stated his intentions and reasoning in a Youtube video which has been reposted across several platforms and the condensed transcription is as following:
“My name is Matt Nelson and I'm about to engage in an extreme act of protest. We are all culpable in the ongoing genocide in Gaza […] We are slaves to capitalism and the military industrial complex. Most of us are too apathetic to care. The protest I'm about to engage in is a call to our government to stop suppling Israel with the money and weapons it uses to imprison and murder innocent Palestinians, to pressure Israel to end the genocide in Gaza, and to support the ICC indictment of Benjamin Netanyahu and other members of the Israeli government […] A democracy is supposed to serve the will of the people, not the interests of the wealthy. Take the power back. Free Palestine.”
Remember his face, remember his name. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸
This is especially frustrating because the only reason we know the wind speed is because NOAA's Hurricane Hunters literally fly into the hurricane and collect vital data. They fly in and out of the storm over and over in 8 hour shifts.
This brave team flies two identical Lockheed P3s called Kermit and Miss Piggy.
You can see the dangling ornaments in the videos to determine which plane they are in.
And when I say they fly into the hurricane, I mean they fly *into* the hurricane.
Here they are in the eye of Milton.
And here they are in the eye of Irma.
As you may notice, this flight was in Kermit.
So the next time you see live data about a hurricane's wind speed and pressure, just remember how that was collected and don't be a giant turd about it.
And please vote because conservatives want to kill NOAA.
This is a sick society.
So. I just tuned into another wayneradiotv stream. First one in a while. Once again it’s fucking insane
It’s a charity stream event for Palestine, cool! Baaulp is playing Root Beer Tapper. There’s twitch predictions for how far he’ll get, which is basically just gambling but instead of money it’s funne haha points you can use to get emotes with. Cool! I get a lot of points, someone gifts me a tier 1 sub, everything is fine!
Baaulp is confused about the betting. Doesn’t know what the fuck anybody is betting ON. Starts getting angry because it’s “ruining the vibe” and we’re turning his root beer tapper gameplay into a “whole thing”. Somebody tries to read donations and Baaulp fucking loses his shit. Entire chat, rtvs team, and even Baaulp himself falls silent. He’s in the zone. For 30 minutes plus the stream is nothing but Baaulp’s blank stare and the sounds of root beer tapper. Wayne puts up a text box on screen that reads “do not disturb Baaulp”. Predictions are still running in the background but with titles like “don’t tell Baaulp” and “I’m sorry Baaulp”. The next segment is supposed to begin and Baaulp doesn’t say anything, just continues to play Root Beer Tapper. He cannot be shaken. His webcam and gameplay is slowly dragged off screen with a cane png, the Root Beer Tapper music and sound effects growing quieter as it is. Baaulp never says a word. Break starts and everything is silent again
Unironically pretty normal rtvs stream considering they made the fucking live action spamton stream and hlvrai
Sometimes the media says “there are no words” to describe or justify horrific attacks on hospitals. Other times, the media has countless words to describe and justify horrific attacks on hospitals.
