Still sad I can't find a good solution to getting reliable twitter RSS feeds. Currently relying on whatever #nitter instances still work to load Twitter RSS feeds into newsboat RSS reader, but they are rate limited far too often.

Does anyone have a good setup they'd like to share?

With #nitter instances being down/rate limited, what's a good way to fetch RSS feeds of twitter accounts?

Seriously, what's up with y'all? You look foolish.

Cosplaying social justice when it suites your worldview or something? Please stop.

The only thing the capitalist market is good at doing is concentrating wealth, cornering markets, and decaying from the profit seeking behavior that it creates and 'lives' off.

and i'm starting to get tired of hearing the same old stories being told about how the market will fix things, like green consumerism or any kind of consumerism, that rests on the continued pillaging of places and exploitation of labour for profits.

Privilege is real and trying to 'vote our consciousness with our dollars' is many times just a grift. Though I guess I can appreciate that people have the mindset of wanting to do something, anything.

The earth knows no borders (ok maybe the natural ones can be real), but we've placed them everywhere.

It involved a logic of power that rests on the violence of abstraction, and the controlling of space.

Places get devastated by power (e.g., the demands of the capitalist market for profits). And there is a logic of power that attempts to mask these problems, treating them as singular and isolated.

Lots wrong in the world; a good learning opportunity to go against the grain and demonstrate better possibilities.

We can all do it. We all have our own unique capabilities; important to recognize all our paths must diverge to form a better and beautiful world. It's not easy but its possible and a requirement.

Will all those states that immediately defunded UNRWA apologize?

actually the real question is how will these states be held accountable by the ICJ for their actions during the #GazaGenocide

No claims verified, and let me guess, will people who were 'offended' by the opposition to the defunding of UNRWA say anything differently? of course not, i doubt it. it's clear.

"Jeffrey Sachs, an economist and professor at Columbia University, says Israel’s claims that UNRWA employees were involved in the October 7 Hamas attacks “were political” and “cruel”."

Democratic Party supporters shaming people because they don't want to vote for an administration that has been making excuses for Israel's #GazaGenocide or for continuing to arm Israel?

Sure, keep it shaming your potential supporters, why not? what could go wrong. keep burning your bridges.

Campaigning on fear (e.g., Trump is worse) is so pathetic, leave everyone alone, it's shameful.

And by non-self help type, I don't mean to suggest that we shouldn't 'self-help,' but when it becomes a declawed version of itself, versions that tell the individual to 'to do more with less' or 'hustle culture', or fancy seminars to motivate workers to exploit themselves more for the sake of profits, yeah, I have some problems with that.

We should self-help, and learn what #Stoicism has to offer, but once it's reduced to the individual and ignores the collective, then we have a problem.
