This video is about why first-gen iPad babies and boomers have so much in common when it comes to their tech know-how

Look what I found in a bookstore in Moab @swilua.bsky.social Visiting the local bookstore on any trip is highly recommended.

(Not so) fun fact: The beloved board game monopoly was created as a lesson in anti-capitalism. It originally had a socialist/play-as-a-team version alongside the rules we all know today. The reason it's not like that now is because capitalists extorted it away from the woman who invented it.

GO GET YOUR FUCKING LIBRARY CARD. SUPPORT YOUR LIBRARY.

The Libby app is one of the miracles of modern tech tbh

Brocialism

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

BREAKING: Starbucks just announced a $1 billion restructuring and will close 59 unionized stores — nearly 10% of union locations. It includes the Roastery in Seattle, one of its busiest shops. CEO Brian Niccol made $100 million in four months last year.

and before you go "who tf cares about basement-dwelling incels" I'd point out that Curtis Yarvin is listed as a founder and prominent figure among these groups Yes, that curtis yarvin. The one with DIRECT TIES TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE US.

With nihilistic violent extremism in the discourse again: Pretty good crash course into what these groups look like and how they operate youtu.be/XQdqHu-hQFY?...

Neurodivergent folks should all be paid a stipend to do things we like to do, and the world would end up benefiting from it.

I'm sure if a Democratic elected official mandated that a left-wing organization had to be given access to all of a state's public schools, they would be completely fine with it and would never ever call it "grooming" or "indoctrination" or anything.

It’s actually low-key mind-boggling just how consistently @marisakabas.bsky.social beats major outlets with way more resources to scoops. Impressive and really amazing.

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

Im imagining the most grace-filled reading of this situation and only someone lacking basic empathy or curiosity could remain supporting Nazi views after being called a Nazi. Let me break it down for you.

Btw, don't fall for this BS. There's absolutely nothing inherent to a person that makes them a Nazi. It's a choice. Sadly, not a fully informed or conscious one, but indeed a choice all the same. (& it's very easy to not get called a Nazi if that's something that bothers you so much btw)

The Trump administration has canceled grants for street safety, pedestrian trails, and bike lanes in communities around the country. One official wrote that a project was canceled because it created "a road diet that is hostile to motor vehicles." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Read somewhere once that people actually enjoy the sight of windmills and stuff. So idk how to phrase it or make the connection But like Fascists don't like art and this is arguably art and he hates windmills a disturbing amount soooooo

what's the silly tater doing in 'facilitator'

Not to mention the absolute hole-riddled brain you're required to have to spend decades campaigning as "antivaxx" because "autism" just to come out and be like "it was tylenol the whole time" like are antivaxxers doing okay right now or

I was raised very religious and conservative. Didn't even hesitate to just dive head first into all of Mormondom for the first 20+ years of my life. I still ended up on what I would deem as "the right side of history" What's their excuse?

It's hard to point out stuff like this without sounding bragg-y or disgustingly egotistical, buuuut who I am today is a direct consequence of educating myself and never settling for simplistic or generalized answers and shit What's the excuse of all the people I grew up with??

How much grace is actually owed to the ignorant in today's day and age? We may not have received the same education, and we don't even spend time on the same internet, let alone the same meat space communities. But is a decades-long ignorance campaign REALLY why we "lost" so many people?

NEW: 404 Media is suing ICE. We have filed a lawsuit demanding the agency release its $2 million contract with Paragon, a company that makes powerful spyware to break into phones and read messages from encrypted chat apps www.404media.co/were-suing-i...

ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

AI is also the epitome of everything that is wrong with capitalism. If you're having trouble deciding which current issue you want to get behind, this one is easily one of the most nefarious, most pressing, and most connected to all other issues.

Say what you will about TikTok but its the only app I use that has a BUILT-IN timer/reminder to help you waste less time To me that says (even tho the bar is abysmally low) that they care somewhat about their users even at the cost of "losing out on watch time"

I personally haven't seen mentioned of thespecific part of "the free marketplace of ideas" that is also learning the history of how and why your specific field (I'm thinking college education here) was and is racist/colonialist/largely western and imperialist and weaponized THAT WAS NOT CK

"Putting white supremacists on the radio is emotional terrorism."

Online space (re: algorithms) is literally designed to enflame and divide us through exaggerrated narratives and big emotional reactions. Social media practically REQUIREES EVERYONE to have some sort of take, and it can't be fence-sitty either or you'll be ignored/dog-piled

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.
