Translation:

Palestine Liberation Organization

We are all for the resistance

From the Palestinian National Covenant - Article 26

The Palestine Liberation Organization, representative of the Palestinian revolutionary forces, is responsible for the Palestinian Arab people's movement in its struggle - to retrieve its homeland, liberate and return to it and exercise the right to self-determination in it - in all military, political, and financial fields and also for whatever may be required by the Palestine case on the inter-Arab and international levels.

The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) was established in 1964 and has been the embodiment of the Palestinian national movement. It is a broad national front, or an umbrella organization, comprised of numerous organizations of the resistance movement, political parties, popular organizations, and independent personalities and figures from all sectors of life. The Arab Summit in 1974 recognized the PLO as the “sole and legitimate representative of the Palestinian people” and since then the PLO has represented Palestine at the United Nations, the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries (NAM), the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), and in many other fora. In addition to its broad national and political goals, the PLO has dealt with numerous tasks with regard to the life of the Palestinian people in their main communities and throughout the world through the establishment of several institutions in such realms as health, education and social services. As such, the PLO is more than a national liberation movement striving to achieve the national goals of the Palestinian people, including the independence of the State of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital.

I've always wanted to be a big brother and there is a part of me that wants to be helpful to younger musicians but I'm starting to realize that it may be a bad idea.

These young guys don't appreciate what you're doing for them and forget about you once they get to shinier and more high profile places. I'm starting to think that a lot of these kids are just straight up spoiled.

I think I'm too personally fragile to let it keep happening and I feel like I shouldn't put myself out there anymore. I don't ever seem to comprehend in the moment that these people are young and emotionally immature, it's stupid but I always feel betrayed, probably something wrong with me.

On top of that, I don't want to look creepy in any way. I only address this because our society is very critical towards this social dynamic and I just want to say that I want to help people. I and my closest friends had it hard growing up and I want to uplift people now that I'm in a good spot. I put my money and my actions towards what I believe in.

But I think my helpfulness will only extend to young people who are done with college, are done with the vanity of professional music and are struggling.

Which fits one of the cats I know, I've hooked him up with sticks, a nice drum throne and a wok im not using. That dude needs the help and will appreciate it. It does hurt that my kid who went to NYC and is in with all the big timers now forgot about the dude who took him to see Chick Corea for free or got him into 21+ clubs when his folks couldn't. -.-

Vent got too long

spoilerMy anti mask adoptive mother's anti mask biological child may have saw me in the grocery store wearing a mask today and when I came home my she was asking if I saw her anxiety medication :/

If the did see me theyre absolutely gonna tell her and she's gonna take her anxiety, which manifests as anger, out on me ![sadness-abysmal](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/ad6f9f70-c208-4e3d-89c9-31a7b4d656e9.png "emoji sadness-abysmal")

She told me to clean the stove then she started vacuuming at 8:30 pm so she had an excuse to watch me clean the stove. The vacuuming woke up her other biological child, who is terminally ill, and if he's in a bad mood or tired tomorrow theyre gonna blame that on me too ![yes-honey-left](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/b6842aec-6986-4556-8b47-bed70de5f481.png "emoji yes-honey-left") he can't talk cuz brain damage so they just put words in his mouth and if they're upset about something they'll look at him and be like "i know, I know you're upset, its ridiculous" while getting increasingly angry which upsets him so they can say what they're thinking without outright saying it? Its really fucking weird

Looking at the state of the world, I know things can seem hopeless, but I think there are still plenty of openings. For example, have we tried writing an article where we denounce capitalism in the strongest possible terms? You never know what might work.

I'm not a big fan of how everything is very badly machine-translated now. The new Loki trailer translates "god of mischief" into "god of evil." All the achievements in new xbox games are grammatically wrong. I guess we just aren't worth the few hundred bucks it would cost to have someone check them.

One thing I've been thinking about lately is how we talk about Nat Turner.

He was a religious fundamentalist and holy warrior.

He killed aristocratic white families indiscriminately.

But the thing we remember him for was his resistance to slavery, not the other details.

So my question to the audience is: Do you condemn Nat Turner's terrorism?

I came out to my mom as bisexual. It went pretty well. I should have done this a while ago, but I didn't feel ready. She doesn't care who I'm with, as long as I'm happy.

What drives me insane about tiktoks and youtube shorts is a lot of them seem very cleanly edited and are made to loop well/perfectly. Seems like crazy amount of effort when producing like 40-90 secs of content.

I'm shitting myself

I'm shitting myself right now as I type this comment

And I'm a white, straight male who doesn't care about your pronouns

Does that trigger you, woke mob? That I'm pooping in Sean Hannities underwear and your not? I'm in Sean Hannities home right now defiling all of his clothing. And he's going to blame it on the dog. You know why? I think you do. Its because Sean Hannity and I jerked off back to back in a hot tub while imagining ![libs-owned](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/ed8e840a-77da-4924-9c83-1f55aaa87a2e.png "emoji libs-owned") was sucking on our cocks. Sean's dick skin has the same texture and color of well seared steak. A classic sear. Not any of that transgender ideology reverse sear crap. My dick skin is the color of ketchup, the perfect topping for a steak, and it's shaped similar to the lightbulb. Not like the woke pig corkscrew penis lightbulb the enviromental fascist are forcing down our throats like a [comment seized by volcel police ![volcel-vanguard](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/12cb7982-9577-41a9-8fe1-5b278140ca75.png "emoji volcel-vanguard") )

All I would have to do is show is Mrs. Sean Hannity the jar of his blue cum I still have. Sean's cum and piss have turned blue from all the colloidal silver he takes to ward off covid. I think he'll die soon. She'll see those droplets and know I'm real. That's all for tonight, tune I next week on X to see my interview with the son of Oskar Dirlewanger and his run for RNC chairman

Watchmen discourse on my feed again and I just don't know what comic book you've read if your conclusion to why Rorschach commits suicide by god is that he cares about the damn truth too much to be complicit in a lie. Turns the whole thing into just a dumb faux-badass moment.

There's a riddle to Rorschach in that basically his first dialogue of the whole story is fantasizing about the whole city begging him for help and him denying it, then at the end when the city is obliterated, he cannot accept it.

And I think the strongest answer to that riddle is that he cares about people, thats the punchline to Rorschach, he's a dumb traumatized reactionary manchild who wants to be a superhero and to be the protector of the city, and when instead of putting up a 'schach-signal for him the city tells him "who the fuck asked you, freak?" he resents it! The largest part of that fantasy he has at the start of the comic is being recognized by the whole city and everyone he thinks of as subhuman filth, as someone who has the power and ability to save them all.

And then he doesn't, they all die, he's been "fighting crime" in that city for 20+ years and now most of it is a mass grave, where the fuck do you go from there?

Idk thats my take on it at least, it seems like it would be "the correct one" considering that when his psychiatrist starts getting affected by Rorschachs worldview, aside from despair and depression, what it inspires in him is a deep and uncontrollable sense of empathy even when acting on it will harm his personal life, that can't just be a coincidence or irrelevant.

Being ENM rules. One person I'm dating basically set me up with their friend and now I'm dating another cool person. And then I'm going out with two other people Friday and Saturday.

The only downside is I gotta use Google calendar to schedule this shit. You better make an appointment a week in advance if you wanna spend time with me.

I am kinda bragging cuz I'm happy about this. But also: I'd never been on a date before this year. So like, there's some hope for all ya'll who might think it's to late and you're forever alone and shit. Things can change in a big way. Get your asses onto Taimi!

Hexbear? That was my idea originally.

Back in 1993 I thought what if you created a giant robot bear and liberals were able to control it using wires and buttons. They would climb inside the mechanical bear's ass and share stupid memes instead of actually doing communism.

On September 8, 1941, less than three months after the Soviet Union was first attacked in World War II, Leningrad (as St. Petersburg was called at the time) was completely sealed off from the rest of the country. Nazi Germany planned to “erase it from the face of the Earth,” according to historic documents. Thus began the Siege of Leningrad, often called “900 Days of Courage.”

What the Germans didn’t count on was that the citizens of Leningrad would not give up. They’d rather die than give up. They would bury artwork, plant vegetables in the Summer Gardens, evacuate children in trucks across the frozen Lake Ladoga, survive on boiling leather belts and making pancakes out of weeds, hold nightly watches to put out fire grenades and work at factories around the clock but never let the enemy step into their city.

Entire Leningrad families died from hunger. There's a piece of bread on display at the [museum of the Piskariovskoye Memorial Cemetery] . A daily ration for the people of Leningrad, it is a 125-gram rock made of sawdust and flour.

Gallant, using the strongest language of the three, said “we will wipe them off the face of the Earth.”

Their tone signaled Israel may be entering final preparations for what officials believe could be an invasion of the narrow strip of land, wedged between Israel and Egypt, that has been under Hamas control.
