I hope people realize that the emails released don't show a uniquely influential member of the super rich, but rather just an example of the amount of influence each extremely rich person exerts on popular culture. He represents just one replaceable point in a network, not the network itself.

coming more around to thoughts that you could prolly radicalize a bunch of people into favoring border abolition but you'd first have to let them believe all the shitty things on immigration obama and biden did were actually done by bush and trump 1 to skip the reflexive defensive self-soothing

hey all those "alt parks service" and the like accounts that people told you to block are fearmongering about signal and pushing for a software that is fundamentally insecure so maybe take the advice to block them seriously this time soatok.blog/2025/01/20/s...

CRASHOUT FOR THE AGES

By now, asteroid 2026 Dreadstone has impacted the Indian Ocean, sparking a firestorm not seen on this planet since the K–Pg Extinction Event. Most people just want to be with their families. Here are three ways effective business leaders can leverage targeted KPIs to turn tragedy 😔 into triumph 💪

oldhead advice from an oldhead. every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown" and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work gotta build for long term

I don't know what to say beyond this: remember that this is what America is and has always been. None of this is an aberration, this is simply what empire looks like when it doesn't bother to wear the mask of civility.

some of the more insidious consent manufacturing i've ever encountered. subtle enough that you might ingest a few ideas before realizing the whole point of the piece is to tell you that being raped and killed by heartless, soulless thugs is fine, actually, and you like it.

unlike my old laptop, i have only hostility towards my phone. when it's slow, i get mad... like a manager having to deal with a high employee

Noticing that Democrats are passing “right to die” laws before passing “right to housing” or “right to healthcare” laws www.nprillinois.org/government-p...

look, all i'm saying is we've got a website full of charismatic transsexuals here and one of us needs to convince rian johnson to read umineko. not saying it should be me, but one of you had better get on that

absolutely harrowing account of a tech worker named michael from nairobi kenya forced to act as an ai sex bot. how is this not classified as sexual abuse bordering on trafficking???? data-workers.org/michael/

I refuse to let people memory-hole how deranged and indefensible the immediate post-9/11 era was. We empowered rape gangs and got involved in the poppy trade in Afghanistan. We looted Iraq, purged it of its professional class, and claimed that the oil would pay for it.

People do not want to think about the fact that America did to North Korea what Israel is doing to Palestine.

Instead of a song being stuck in my head, today what's stuck in my head is the "fuck ya life. bing-bong!" pigeon video.

"It's not political" is an odd thing to say while describing the conservative mindset, though. The desire to be the hegemonic demographic, to impose your perception of "norms" on everyone else, is pretty political.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

happy turkey day

the most crazy-making part of this whole thing is that so many trans people of all ages can speak powerfully & eloquently about the harms of being denied a timely & effective medical transition, but our words, our actions, even our *corpses* are treated as manipulative

it keeps going...

"skin as part of brain?" This is that great intellect people talk about?

azhdarchid.com/against-metr... I really do hate the term 'metroidbrania'. I think so do many of you. Let's nip it in the bud before it becomes something people are financially invested in.

huh, wonder what the picture could mean in the context of this article

Just gonna repost this as we enter the terminal phase of Neoliberal Global Capitalism

vince gilligan, you son of a bitch. you've done it again i mean, probably. i'm one episode in. but 'miserable lesbian romance novelist has existential breakdown after all of humanity except her is assimilated into a hive mind' is a hell of a premise

My ballot was counted this year, but in a previous election is was rejected and I had to fix it — just took a couple of minutes. Make sure yours was counted Seattle! info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

Saw someone say that the enraged radicalized wine moms are going to impose Sangria Law and honestly that’s pretty good

help Denice if you can, she's so close to her goal with only two days to go!

can i offer you a nice new terry cavanagh game in this trying time?

so we're all agreed that the popularity of isekai is a recession indicator, right?

for a good time, read posts from the JAV titles bot in either a kiryu kazuma or a JC denton voice

Transness is not bourgeois. This is a wedge idea dreamed up by some gleefully amoral think tank lobotomite to split trans people and make us fight each other. That we relay on modern medicine doesn't make us any more bourgeois than someone who needs antidepressants or cleft palate repair.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...
