There literally isn't any point in being angry at the republicans because they shouldn't be considered to be people. It's like someone yelling at a baby for pooping in it's diaper.

The basis of the United States of America from the very beginning was to exploit children and use them as labor and as the US gained power they went around the world and found new children to kill and exploit.

NO CHEATING, IR LAST SAVED PIC OF A CELEBRITY IS UR THERAPIST (I'm so cooked)

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

It's unchartered, but we can see the terrain: the territory ahead includes masked secret police taking people to concentration camps but not new vaccines. That's our reward for a system in which fewer than 20 people, all of them deranged and malicious, control over $3 trillion.

US Troops killed all the guards at Dachau for this kind of shit.

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

just choked on my beverage

historically accurate☑️

We also just gotta straight up outlaw crypto. But but but but I don't care, shut the fuck up, you're done

Lmao

My first time flying was in the smoking section of the airplane.

lmao

Violent hatred of liberal white women has been de rigueur on the right for a while and I suspect they're about to get out over their skis in terms of how mainstream that is.

No matter how much hate you have in your heart for the United States and the imperialist regime that has ruled here for so long, the capitalism that demands empire, it is not too much. It is not enough. Even if you are choking on pitch-black bile, they deserve more bile

Taxation is reform. You don't reform this. You seize everything they fucking have, put them in jail forever and destroy every part of their ranks. You split the conspiracy down to a person. This is treason and grand conspiracy and crimes against humanity, it's not petty theft.

The proposed California wealth tax makes 0 sense. One time 5%? They don't have cash like that. Taxing unrealized gains is like committing suicide to try to kill someone. This is the economic policy of a drunk person attempting their first surgery. Only one way forward: we seize all their assets.

Oh shit thats actually an incredibly good point

If you have a problem with trans women, trans men, or trans people of any make or gender, then you got a problem with me and I suggest you let that marinate

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally. And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"

Generative AI, in both form and content, and whether looked on favourably or critically, seems to embody a collective hopelessness about the prospect of human learning and creativity, if not human knowledge altogether. It’s as if climate change had fans.

Felt compelled

I'm a single issue voter now, my issue: revenge

If you see this, post a pic from your device with no explanation

post a concert photo you took

there's a big problem with the culture here on bluesky, and it's that not nearly enough people are posting about the 10 year anniversary of Carly Rae Jepsen's groundbreaking and timeless album EMOTION being this year and how awesome that is

If there's one thing Covid should have demonstrated to everyone, it's that there are lots of people who would rather put their own communities & families at risk, would literally rather *die*, than submit to the call for solidarity. It's that repellant to them.

I'll say this: dying at range to an unseen foe, one armed with a family heirloom weapon and little more coherent ideology than a distaste for interlopers, is an honest pitch on military service in the 21st century

Anyway lol it's death to America or it's death to us all

lol what the actual fuck

Dems chased Silicon Valley for years and all we got for it was a couple thousand eugenicists with the money of Lex Luthor and the brains of rabid ferrets. Dems should do what the GOP did: threaten Big Tech relentlessly until the little shits give us money and do our bidding.

Hell yeah my favorite Guys from 2000 era red Sox

It's a damning indictment of our society if he goes peacefully in his sleep but I'll take whatever we can get

Camina Drummer like:

improve your technical skills and you can discover new, exciting ways in which to be mad at the computer, ways to be furious at the machine that laymen couldn't even comprehend.

I read something this year (probably on here, for my sins) that, contemporaneously, no one knew the Roman Empire was falling forever, just that one day an important bridge collapsed and no one ever came to fix it. I think about this all the time.

Digging a hole six feet by two feet by eight feet

Experiments have an end point and we've reached it in the US. We've proved the null hypothesis, the american people are not fit for self government

This scene ran on network television in 1982. There was nothing remotely like it on there.

we are surrounded by unrecognized visionaries
