sick of patches in modern fighting games. back in the old arcade days, if a new character married their stepsister, you just had to adapt.

Elon Musk’s lawyer says the billionaire didn’t get a fair trial because the jury slipped a “bizarre and highly questionable” joke into a verdict form when it concluded he defrauded Twitter shareholders before acquiring the social platform.

we've replaced all politics with consumerism. politics isn't something we do collectively, it's going to the supermarket for a bag of coffee and whether you buy Starbucks or Black Rifle all product choices are making a Personal Brand and your politics are just part of that Brand

i could be dating Sabrina Carpenter tomorrow if she went out with me

lmao

Newsom saw the pic of Zohran hanging out with Nick Mullen and was like "got it, i need to call people gay"

Agree with this thread, and would add: the goal of filing a grievance isn't necessarily to win. Winning is great, of course, but a grievance is also a tool of political pressure against a boss, and that pressure can be effective regardless of whether you win the grievance.

Are you in a union? Is your boss being terrible to you but not in a way that's clearly related to your gender/race/etc. (i.e., discrimination) or an obvious contract violation? Union rep here. You may be able to file a dignity and respect grievance! I will explain what that means. 1/

remember when Microsoft had a tool built in to Bing that used machine learning to predict whether a certain plane ticket would rise or fall in price so that you could save money? and it was actually really useful so they got rid of it? if AI tools were good for workers and consumers they'd be gone.

i don't think anything better symbolizes the fall of America more than how we went to the moon using the finest in 1969 computing technology and then... stopped doing that and we either don't know how to go back or don't feel like it

no way is this dude self-referencing as a 'leftist' when his profile pic has him wearing Scam Inspirational Speaker Mic

hi, sorry, not sure i follow. could you rephrase this but in an even more embarrassing way for an adult to talk

Sephioth posting on main

I bounced around a few of these subreddits for...a handful of weeks maybe, and went "This is substantially less useful than a single class in Marxist film theory I took in undergrad"

Also, Berniecrats don't look back to 2016-2020. They look back to the high days of social democracy (let's say early-mid 20th) that Bernie was an echo of. These dates mostly reflect when the left in the US was successfully killed.

from the 'communism101' subreddit, using 'idealist' in a specific sense that absolutely no one other than marxists uses:

I agree with a lot of this -- and this is a Mastodon conversation, not a Bluesky one -- but anarchists really also do look to actual living examples like AANES / Rojava or like the Zapatistas, both of which come from late 20th century sources. Also anarchists increasingly read people like Graeber.

I saw a TikTok recently of an archetypal Marxist academic absolutely ripping into someone for not using the phrase “utopian socialism” in the exact way it was used in the Communist Manifesto and found myself stunned by the lack of connection to anything involving current politics or actual workers.

No.

essay i want to get around to writing: how the left is stuck in the past in ways that the right, despite being ideologically committed to looking to the past, is not

kind of offensive to people who don't move but okay

mavis beacon did not teach you typing so you could make such terrible posts

this little boy passing by the carvel was wailing MOMMYYYYY I WANT ICE CREEEEEAM so i decided to saunter on in there in front of him and get myself a sundae. sucks to suck bitch lmao

we need a “shut up and dribble” for law professors. why do i have to hear what sam moyn thinks, he’s been wrong about everything for a decade. stop sharing your opinions. go teach civ pro to a 24 year old.

Fallout season 2 ended up being... kind of underwhelming? had its moments, but the end was just bleh. felt overly-dependent on continuing things from the first season instead of stories that mattered on their own.

Sorry folks, X is the political mainstream now. If you're not on X, you're missing out on the central cultural figures of American life - Gunther Eagleman, End Wokeness and Catturd h/t @kylewilsontharp.bsky.social www.chaoticera.news/p/for-republ...

center-left establishment magazines when popular opinion catches up with the student protest movement that's been going on for decades: "the Left is wrong, somehow"

What absolute fucking idiots lol. Good for them.

this sounds like a joke item from Fallout

“Reaching people where they’re at” is a good argument for having political content on Instagram, TikTok, even Facebook to reach older people. It doesn’t go for Twitter, the Algorithm Set To Promote Nazis

None of the people in charge are jocks or nerds. They're angry dweebs and losers. Very different situation.

The Trump admin is full of people who can’t watch the NBA because it’s too woke. Calling them jocks is an insult to jockdom

ore. huh. yeah. what is it good for? smelting into ingots

You gotta be vigilant

"everyone you know is fighting a battle you know nothing about" isn't a reminder to be kind it's acknowledging a failure of military intelligence

I have a background in medical admin so I'm constantly getting "invited to apply" to jobs at health insurance companies and I always wonder how long it would take them to fire me if I got hired and then just approved every claim that came through no questions asked

I think masters of the craft should sometimes be required to go through a Michael Jordan Baseball arc. I want to see Wes Anderson make a nature documentary. Cormac McCarthy folk album. Get Madonna doing puppetry.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

If you aren’t an anarchist but now then you’re just wrong. There’s no reforming this institution. Abolish it and sow salt in the earth where it stood.

White supremacy: so committed to the idea that life is only for those who have earned it, they'll spend a million dollars to prevent a single dollar from falling into undeserving hands, in the name of eliminating 'wasteful spending.'
