watched "The American President" tonight and decided to post this screencap for no particular reason

October 1 is Green Day, because September has finally ended

Cooperatives are more resilient, and they are more likely to be living-wage employers. As member-owned enterprises, co-ops empower folks, no matter their background, with a say and a stake in economic life.

A government that deliberately abandons the rule of law is not morally entitled to its protections.

"Asgard is not a place. It is a shell company created to minimize tax liability."

god damn, this is one of the best essays i've ever read

Someone--it wasn't me, dammit--called it a circle Kirk.

this user is a professor, which makes this the bravest post I’ve ever seen on this website

Zohran, if you want to address inequality, support worker ownership! NYC already has the Worker Co-op Business Development Initiative, but you can expand the program to create even more quality jobs for the working class. NYC needs more democratic workplaces where workers have economic power.

everyone keeps saying you shouldn't be killed for your political beliefs, which is true, but "we should round up/enslave/kill X group of people" is not a "political belief," it is a call for genocide. we already have free speech exceptions, why can't "call for genocide" be one of them

there are no Google results for "F. Spock Fitzgerald"

also what's funny about the right embracing Nazism is that the Nazis lost WW2 so badly they became the go-to pop culture villains for half a century. and the right idolizes these literal losers

Kirk shooter could be the MAGAest right-winger who ever lived and the right would still blame the left somehow

if you know anything about any of the things, i'm marisakabas.04 on signal

gosh, it sure seems like violence in red states is getting out of hand

ELASTICA BY ELASTICA FEATURING ELASTICA

My students, who attend a working-class rust-belt college, openly talk abt how much they hate AI & are afraid of its consequences. I wonder how much of the oft-reported student enthusiasm for the tech is the merely result of the NYT’s Ivy League bias

Are you searching for an alternative to shareholder capitalism? Don't believe the people who say there isn't one. Cooperatives provide a sustainable, democratic, and equitable business model where stakeholders such as workers and customers participate in decisions and benefit from ownership.

i hate AI and you can too

How's this?

dog: are you telling me that this entire time I was FULL OF BONES

ah, another memory for the spank credit union

friday programmer humor: did you hear they're renaming KCRW? people kept editing their playlist, so it's now going to be KCRO

AI is a wonder technology that is going to change every industry, which is why - people have to be forced to use it - people have to be tricked into paying for it - people who do use it on purpose have to hide it from their peers to avoid being mocked

Love to support our fellow worker-owned cooperatives by buying Strawberry Malt Cake from Proof Bakery in Atwater Village. Solidarity is delicious

Fun fact: All people named Wolfgang are actually three wolves in a trench coat

this is your periodic reminder that there exists a child in this world whose grandfathers are Kurt Cobain and Tony Hawk

We are honoring #AmazonCrimeDay by supporting a movement to boycott it. Amazon’s profits are built on worker injuries, union busting, and surveillance—and we’re done rewarding their exploitation. We are #BetterThanAmazon. Let’s stand up to the monopoly and its billionaire founder by stepping away.

the two most disappointing moments of my childhood were (in descending order) finally trying Kix cereal, and finding out that real roadrunners do not say "meep meep"

I stopped playing NYT games about a year ago because of all the transphobia, and if "we write Nazi stories" can't make you consider stopping as well, IDK man...

workshopping bite-size anti-oligarch messaging: Isn't it weird how billionaires keep telling us that immigrants are the problem, when all research and data shows that billionaires are the problem?

Doing anything July 4th? Here's a way to do something and do something that matters. #July4 #GeneralStrike #SickIn #EconomicBlackout

now that there's been numerous instances of masked people impersonating feds to commit crimes, state and local cops have no choice but to investigate all reports of abductions by masked people claiming to be feds, since without verification there's no way to tell if they're legit

what kind of messaging takes root organically when there are no concentrated power structures influencing/controlling the media sphere?

i heard Abrego Garcia is a member of the Trans de Sharia gang

NYC 🚨 IF YOU HAVEN’T VOTED, GO NOW FIND YOUR POLLING PLACE HERE: vote.nyc/page/find-yo... RANK ZOHRAN 1, LANDER 2, MYRIE, ADAMS, BLAKE 3-5. DO NOT RANK CUOMO UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. LET’S FUCKING GO.

"You cannot serve two masters." Journalists who work for billionaires serve two masters: the truth, and the billionaire who pays them. When those masters conflict, as they often do, the one who writes the check wins out over the one who serves society.

i just want to know, who exactly is this Time Being we're always doing things for

it's time to move beyond buyer's remorse, and start getting into buyer's ennui, buyer's spite, and buyer's schadenfreude

American Beauty is like someone said "let's remake The Ref but as pretentious Oscar bait"

Rejected TV show ideas: Boy Meets World War III

Just walked past a peaceful anti-tyrant protest at San Fernando and Riverside. ~30 people on the sidewalk, with signs and flags. No law enforcement visible. Yeah, we totally got invaded by violent immigrants. 🙄
