Also, anytime you are thinking about calling the cops, ask yourself, "will this situation be improved by (more) guns?" If the answer is no, don't call them.

i love wordplay. to that end i learned tonight that the following two phrases do not exist on the internet yet: "oily murders in the building" "only mulder's in the building"

I think how the term elite gets used by conservatives and some liberals and leftists has contributed to the confusion and we’re better served dealing with the elite in terms of how C. Wright Mills conceptualized it, as those in power who “occupy the strategic command posts of the social structure.”

#lawsky has any federal court enacted any actual sanctions on any member of the Executive branch (including any DoJ lawyer) since Jan 20?

Myth: Worker ownership is unstable and inefficient. Reality: Worker-owned businesses outperform traditional companies. employeeownership.co.uk/Site/Site/co...

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained. These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

#CancelChristmas. Make things for people, donate to charities in their names, but let the big corps bite their nails and wonder if they can survive if we don't fund them.

Economic democracy provides the foundation for a more equitable distribution of wealth. This directly safeguards political democracy by limiting the power of concentrated wealth. Worker cooperatives, as one expression of economic democracy, actively support a more equitable and democratic world.

why do the coolest names from sf/fantasy keep getting used by the douchiest, most evil companies #business

#lawsky if Comey's allegedly false statements were made in Congress (which is in DC), why did they indict him in EDVA and not DC district?

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.

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

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
