for the uninformed: google translate is NOT good at translating arabic, not even modern standard arabic (which is what is used in formal contexts and thus what google’s best at). it’s pretty fucking helpless at translating dialects, e.g., palestinian dialect.

so if you chucklefucks could please keep that in mind next time you feel the need to enter an arabic speaker’s inbox and say “google translate says something different than your translation,” that would be fantastic.

the same type of twee “well ackshually” liberal types on this site harp on the dangers of AI all the time, but when it comes to the arabic language, suddenly they trust machine translation over fluent speakers (not me, i ask my mutuals who are better at arabic than i am for help all the time). it reeks of racism lmao

Hey its getting close to Tax Season again (by which I mean people SHOULD have their W-2’s by now), so I just wanted to remind people:

IF YOU MAKE LESS THAN $80K PER YEAR, YOU SHOULD NOT PAY FOR ANY TAX SOFTWARE.

The IRS maintains a directory of partnered programs that will do your tax return for free.

And if you are single, with no investments etc, your taxes should be so easy to file there’s no reason NOT to use the IRS’ own Free Fillable Forms. (It’s only for federal taxes, but it is very simple, and it does the basic math for you as you fill it out!) There’s no income requirements.

You’d be surprised how easy your taxes are, and how intuitive the basic 1040 is, when you’re Just Some Little Guy Making A Living.

If you really need help YES use one of the step by step sites that the IRS recommends!!!! They’re great!!!

But at least take a look at the 1040 through free file Fillable Forms and see if that might work for you.

joe biden pandering to taylor swift and her fans as he funds a modern genocide is the exact same as republicans using taylor as their aryan poster child for years, both in the way that the people propping her up are doing unspeakable evils, and in the way that taylor won’t say a single word against it because she might lose a dollar in her pocket.

It’s interesting how there’s an abundance of videos showing IOF soldiers gleefully committing various atrocities toward Palestinian civilians and not a single one of those videos showing them actually fighting Hamas.

Every single day, have I seen videos of dismembered bodies of innocent children, women, and men. I’ve seen innocent people being shot dead, attempting to seek shelter, and the soldiers are never held accountable. I’ve seen orphans with dust all over the bodies, walking aimlessly to find their parents under the rubble, people attending funeral prayers to hundreds of innocent martyrs wrapped in kafans. A helpless child caught in a car begging for help while death stares at her face.

And every single day do I have to see new videos published by these parasitic soldiers and politicians who openly boast about their genocidal intent. Celebrating the expansion of the settler colony, showing no remorse for their actions. They don’t talk about Hamas. They don’t care about Hamas. They never did. They want the Palestinians gone. A bunch of sadistic thugs that want to hoard everything in that land for themselves, and they will not hesitate to toy with the lives of innocent to achieve that.

Israel IS and will ALWAYS be a terrorist state, a state built on blood and terror.

South Africa says it has asked the World Court to consider whether Israel’s plan to extend its offensive in the Gaza Strip into the densely populated southern city of Rafah requires additional emergency measures to protect Palestinians.

it was so funny in glass onion when helen was literally just like “well what if miles just killed andi” and blanc was like naaaah he wouldn’t do that. that’d be such a stupid thing to do. miles bron is not an idiot. and then the whole point of the movie was that he WAS an idiot and he DID just kill her. they put it right in front of us and a lot of people probably dismissed it (at least i did) cause we were expecting the murderer to be cunning like they usually are
