When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine," That's... usually not the case! In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using. We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that? youtu.be/vKDPast9WFk

Not sure who needs to hear this but admitting you're wrong doesn't kill you instantly

You simply do not need to continue defending a candidate like the sunk cost fallacy has you in a headlock

We’re joining the EU but we’re bringing conditions — and geese.

grocery stores rearranging everything constantly is ableism, idk

Just hoping they manage to do it justice. ❤️

There is something brutally psychically injurious to being constantly told "just do good work and you'll be successful" while watching people who do the most dogshit work possible do all the succeeding.

At no point in this article do they promise not to fuck it up.

Guys, it’s okay to like something your dad made fun of you for liking when you were a kid.

There are those who celebrate ignorance and intolerance, cruelty and hate. Do not let them snuff out the light of honor, true warriors. Stoke its flames until all they can do is burn themselves on it.

A great thread, and to a large degree this development is due to the sickness now consuming the entire economy - the network’s job went from making profit to driving stock prices up. A mature business will not make your CEO and his pals as rich as a “growth” business.

Annalee's bang on target here. I can read faster and with better comprehensibility than you can talk. And that's not even touching the fact that re-finding something at need is VASTLY easier in text.

Oh, how *interesting*, here's an editorial cartoon from Freedom Summer (1964) depicting a hand labeled “U.S.” lifting a large rock to reveal a white hooded snake labeled “Local Law Enforcement Agents.” And the "hooded" snake is klan-shaped. 👀

I think about this post like 23 times a day these days.

Kahless tells us that those who shine brightest draw the most attention, but so too does the dazzling flame draw moths to their doom. A true warrior knows the loudest voice is not always worth listening to, and that you may have to listen carefully for those whose words have value.

They’ve gone mad with power if they think they can get people to turn on Dolly.
