"Ostracize" has a pottery past. Ancient Athenians voted to banish people by writing names on potsherds called "ostraka." #etymology

at this point I think people should go from "we need to do a general strike", to disseminating information how exactly to do a general strike. I think not knowing how, or if it'd even be possible, might be stopping people. Now is the time to start spreading the information on how to go about it

No justice. Utterly disgusted for the Bloody Sunday families. An obscene decision and a dark day.

A US tech bro corp in the US has decided the night sky should go away. They've made that decision for everyone on Earth. Naturally they've named the first searing orbital array (many times brighter than the moon) after Eärendil, the light bearer, from Tolkien's work www.space.com/space-explor...

My internet just went out. I'm using my phone as a hotspot, but y'all know how miserable that is, and soon it'll be turned off too. I've got three days of my medicines left. I'm at about $80/$500 and really need help here.

Good morning, Halloween spooks

Remember the quaint days of yore when it was all “you call everyone you disagree with a Nazi” and yet now it’s all “oh so now we’re Nazis for loving Hitler?” What an incredible age of newspeak we live in.

Texas and California added more clean power capacity in 2024 than the next 30 US states combined. In California, two Bay Area refineries (around 15% of that state’s capacity) are closing as demand for gasoline falls into permanent decline. buff.ly/lLMyPU3 #ShareGoodNewsToo
