BABE WAKE UP LAOS MENTIONED
We do not forget about Laos here at GenZedong
I don’t have a piece of nationalism in me EXCEPT FOR TONIGHT WHEN WE PLAY AGAINST G*ERMANY
I mean is being anti-germany realy nationalistic?
It should be common sense really
I hope you have fun watching your sport game
Naturellement
You have been blessed by Smiling che
I guess I’m just not ever reading national news again because archive.is appears to be down, I can’t find any further reputable paywall-strippers, and I am not paying the spineless catamite propagandists for the tripe they call ‘news’
Archive.ph usually works for me when archive.org does not. Also I didn’t test it but it looks like its working for me
archive.* has been giving me “We’re having trouble finding that site.” errors for the past week now
From comrade Yogthos on another thread:
I also highly recommend one of these plugins, they get around most paywalls for me

Few things beat finding an old out of print Michael Parenti book at a thrift store
Oh hey, I got my first “Reddit Cares” report on reddit! I haven’t posted anything politics related on there in a long time, so I think it was over a comment about e-bike safety which is just makes it so much funnier 🤣
I love how they have to have an entire paragraph at the bottom telling you what to do if someone’s using the feature to bully or harass you, they clearly know that this is literally all the feature is used for yet they do nothing about it lmao
Well obviously mixed use just means bikes only /s
The Flemish Nationalist party released their party program for the upcoming elections.
Their nemesis towards the Islam has ended. Woke is public enemy number one now.
Ok I pull up
Funniest animal alive
Wat dat
it’s actually just a very distant relative
And you let them drive withput a seatbelt? I thought family looked out for family
firstly, they’re not driving, they’re passengering
secondly, it’s a highly advanced, thin seat belt specifically designed for large semiaquatic rodents; the low picture quality just renders it invisible smh
doxxed
Our party has started a push for nationalizing the recently declared bankrupt bus manufacturer in Belgium. We want to keep the productive forces capable of building (electric) buses instead of just letting them go bankrupt, forcing 2500 people out of a job.
I’d love to see more peoples talk about what their organizations are up to on grad, can we normalize that please?
Sounds like a great plan! Is there any process you can legally follow for this? Will the financial receiver not just ignore you and just asset strip the place?
I don’t know really, it’s the first time I see something like this. I know the Belgian government did something similar during the banking crisis years ago, so I guess it’s possible?
As for the asset strip: the company will go bankrupt if they don’t find someone to take over. So far no realistic offer has been made. The government is perfectly able to do just that. It’s a lost cause I think with neoliberals in charge, but it’s goot to get the message of nationalization out there for the people to consider.
Has anybody else noticed how upset Ali Abunimah looks in his latest videos? He looks like he cried for hours before attending his latest live stream, and I kept expecting him to suddenly break down during the stream.
I certainly don’t blame him for being upset with the monstrous atrocities that the neocolonists have been and are committing in Palestine, but I was so worried about him that I could not stop staring at him.
Hey, everyone.
How are you all doing?
I’m vibing. I started research for my thesis a bit ago so it feels nice to have a big project to work towards, in something I’m interested in.
For your Bachelor’s?
For my Master’s.
Good, how are you comrade @Makan@lemmygrad.ml
I’m dong alright. I’m awake at around 4:30 AM today. Trying to read up on some articles before I take my ADHD meds and really start the day.
Got a major update on a project due at the end of the month, unfinished and untested at the moment, with probably not enough time to get everything done. This happens every month and I hate it. I’m not having mini-breakdowns about it anymore though, so I guess I’m doing better?
That’s something, at least.
essays, essays is how I am doing
So so. Life is more stable but it seems to have come at the cost of a less active social life. Back when I was in turmoil I somehow was seeing people more often and out and about more. Now I’m busier and have a stable home I find that’s beginning to dwindle. Can’t have it all it seems.
I get that.
Happy Cakeday, @Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml
Thanks!

An Akkoma instance? But it works fine with Mastodon instances? Gotcha.
Laos mentioned
You?cannot forget about Laos
Anyone seen Sand Land, the new series by Akira Toriyama? It’s a desertpunk and has great politics, if that matters. Way better than Dragon Ball
I’ve only read the manga and it was fairly unremarkable; stretching a single volume over 7+ episodes would be very dull so I assume they’re expanding on the original
They made an anime on it?
Oho
An actual good example of a 3d anime, too!
Now I’m definitely interested.
I love 3D animation.
I also didn’t like it then and had dropped it before the plot started. Idk if they sexed it up or not, but it had me nodding my head the entire time, and the next season (last thing written by Toriyama before his death), is just about a revolution.
I see, I’ll check it out
Seen? You mean played, right?
The game isn’t out yet.
It’s based on a manga by Akira Toriyama, though.
It has an anime too! And a sequel series written by Toriyama before his death
Noice.
