The Chrome browser exists to show you ads and track where you go so that Google can show you more ads. Please stop using Chrome. Firefox is open source, and while Mozilla is not perfect, it isn’t actively fucking evil the way Google is. It has a bazillion plugins, including various (FREE!) ad block plugins (I recommend uBlock Origins, which will even block YouTube ads – you can watch videos without interruptions again!). It will also function very effectively with a lot more tabs open than Chrome. I’ve got around 800 tabs open right now (not loaded, of course, except for maybe 2 dozen; it’s been a heavy browsing day), and my wife has between 2k and 3k at any time.

We are in the New Browser Wars. This time there’s a helluva lot of money up for grabs, because a lot of it is about running those ads. Monopolies are bad for consumers.

Just go download Firefox.

“the CIA is releasing tens of thousands of files and videos from bin laden’s compound today, except his DVDs of ‘home on the range’ and ‘ice age: dawn of the dinosaurs’ and his copy of final fantasy vii, because those are copyrighted” is not a sentence i ever thought i would type, but 2017 continues to be full of surprises

It should be illegal or something to sing “This Land Is Your Land” without the secret verses

[la-laborista-republiko]

You took one of the greatest hobo anthems ever written and turned it patriotic. That’s basically a war crime.

[minerfromtarn]

Secret verses??!??

[la-laborista-republiko]

At the beginning:

As I went walking that endless bread line
My landlord gave me a 2-week deadline
And Labor Action ran a better headline:
“This land was made for you and me!”

This land is their land, it isn’t our land
From the plush apartments to the Cadillac car land
From the Wall Street office to the Hollywood star land
This land is not for you or me

So take your slogan and kindly stow it
If this was our land, you’d never know it
So let’s get together and overthrow it
‘Cause this land was made for you and me

And then in the middle:

As I went walking, I saw a signpost
And the sign said “No Trespassing!”
But on the backside, it didn’t say nuthin
‘Cause that side was made for you and me

[minerfromtarn]

Holy shit.

American folk singer Woody Guthrie, who wrote other songs such as Tear The Fascists Down, All You Fascists Bound To Lose, Miss Pavlichenko, and like 6 tributes to Sacco and Vanzetti, was what you might call a “communist”

i will never forgive the internet for what it did to the word “mansplain”

[bananonbinary]

mansplaining is a very specific phenomonon wherein a man who is NOT qualified to talk about a topic assumed he knows better than other people who ARE qualified, purely because of sexism.

sharing a fun fact you learned isnt mansplaining. infodumping isnt mansplaining. adding your relevant personal experience to a discussion isn’t mansplaining, (as long as you remain respectful of others’ experiences as well, but that’s always true). correcting someone who is objectively wrong and spreading misinformation REALLY isn’t mansplaining.

stop telling men that all of their interests and attempts at socializing are insulting and unwanted, your gender essentialism is showing.

[bananonbinary]

people in my REAL LIFE i have had to convince i like to hear them talk, really:

• trans men talking about their oppression
  
• trans women talking about their oppression
  
• autistic men infodumping
• perfectly kind cis men who are answering a question i literally asked, or getting passionate about one of their interests
  

people who AREN’T self-conscious about this:

• men who actually fucking mansplain, oh my god the whole POINT is that they dont care about other people’s thoughts, why do you think whatever this fucking campaign is would bother them
