I love textbooks. I really do.

Holy shit, my man.

LOL

Eeeenteresting

The part that is baffling to me is that so many people are still voting Republican. I hate judging individuals or groups of people along my own perspectives, but we can all see behind the curtain now. I just cannot imagine that there is any moral or ethical reason to get behind any Republican.

hahaha

This... wow 🤯 They can't make a movie about this 'cause no one would believe it. I'm fatigued reading the article lmao Some of the roots of silicon valley, geeesh

At this point, I feel like if *anyone* can do it, AppleTV has the best chance of facilitating its scope! Silo & Severance are both amazing... and Foundation is gorgeous, even if I have big issues with every part of the script/transitions/acting (outside of Lee Pace carrying every scene he's in).

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

wowwww like we haven't said this enough in the past year, but: fk yeah costco

lol noooooo shit

I haven't been to a primary care doc in a while. No insurance and all. I used to go to the U but it's been so long that I'd be a "new patient", which they currently aren't accepting right now... ...went to quick care for that strep test and the barest of Covid symptoms, which I wrote off 'cause--

I want to care about things And be productive And a good friend But I got strep throat for Thanksgiving Holy shit is this miserable. It's been a while. Can't find a panacea for any of the symptoms Whining on bsky, maybe 😂

I remember Dawning Realization Month for the NFT people too. Think this is going to take much longer because of how wrapped up the whole economy is in this, but it really feels like it's happening.

I've seen so, so many bands live How about 5 ive seen multiple times, hmmm.. Failure Big Wreck Our Lady Peace The New Regime The Backstreet Boys 😁

Mmmmmhm

"The unemployment rate has reached a four-year high, job openings are at a four-year low, and leading members of Trump’s own economic team have gone so far as to concede in recent weeks that parts of the U.S. economy are already in recession..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

🤣

I got mistaken for someone who graduated college recently enough that it's relevant (~late 20s) on a consulting call today. Which is weird if only because I know they have seen my 15-yr resume 😆 #indoorkid life, i guess, it's good for preventing skin damage lol

I've turned into a RT bot. Mostly because life got weird and small for a bit. Finding words of my own that I actually wanted to say, ehhh Think we're back up for air. Happy friyay, erryone. May your weekend be warm and full of good gamin' :3

I want to very gently say something, and I hope nobody will be mad: If somebody on the internet says something that is NOT about politics and NOT about how terrible everything is, it’s a kindness not to reflexively make a comment (in jest or not) that brings it back to those things.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but there's actually no need to tolerate swastikas in our military ever. We don't need policy papers on this. We don't need long discussions and to "better understand" those who wear them. We can just ban all Nazi imagery and call it a day.

This is the the thread you had no idea you needed tonight but YOU ABSOLUTELY DO

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made. Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

I feel like Google thinks it's too entrenched in peoples' lives now (even if you max opt out) that they can't be harmed by public opinion. I don't know if they're wrong. But gd, I've tried my best to get rid of as much Google in my life as I can. Fwiw, protonmail has been a good alternative.

...lol, wow that's a tidbit I didn't know

This is an incredible photo.

A lot of people are going to walk away from the Ghislaine Maxwell coverage with the impression that our prison system isn’t punitive enough but I’d say it highlights how most everyone else is treated with *deliberate* cruelty.

🤣

They rounded a bunch of random Venezuelans with tats and pretended they were in tren de aragua, then started blowing up random Venezuelan boats they claim “carried drugs,” in order to slowly groom their base into supporting a full ground war on Venezuela that was always about oil

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Epstein assaulted Maria Farmer and her sister Annie. Kidnapped her. Threatened her life (via Ghislaine Maxwell). Maria reported this to the FBI, which did nothing, to Vanity Fair magazine, which didn’t print the information as a favor to Epstein. Now she has contacted writer Ellie Leonard:

Wild how every single member of the political and business elite went into full drooling fascism the second the prospect of consequences for abhorrent behavior started to seem possible

This gross plastic bag has been pushed over my floors for 6 mos now. I really, really wanna throw it away... but he plays with it every single day, still lol The Dude had undiscardable cardboard boxes... Ned Ryerson eats cardboard boxes into confetti. But this bag... xD

This tendency to frame the weakness of our party as some tedious debate over leftists vs. center-left vs. moderates is ridiculous to me. This is his caucus, and he failed to lead them in this moment. ACA coverage is now lost for millions of Americans. That's all that matters. We need new leadership.

It cracks me up that it seems like 95% of gacha players play like 5 gacha games at a time. Me too, I'm just sayin'. lol I wonder why.

Christian Nationalists: QUESTION: How often is Jesus mentioned in the Constitution? ANSWER: Zero times.

Ngl.. all the letters like this make me wonder if any shitty, predatory insurance companies will go under, with NO one paying for health ins. anymore. Silver lining of a shit-sandwich, i guess. Or if our govt will bail them out instead of us.....

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.

Wth? This alone would make me stop shopping there (if i hadnt already). I *hate* when salesppl talk to me. It makes me leave stores lol

A LOT of industry folks need to take "I think there's a very high possibility that this is all a bunch of horseshit" to HEART.

Sucks that this is even a thing -- shithole country, indeed -- but also a good reminder to donate to WCK if possible. Alongside any of your local food banks.

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

Aaaaaahhhh

Ffs

Something I’ve noticed is there seems to be a sort of pervasive assumption that the status quo has gravity. That there’s a natural, comfortable way things should be and that deviations from the normal state of the world will correct themselves in time. But as a paleontologist, I know this is false.

Some moments call for statesmanship. And sometimes you just need a guy from Chicago, Illinois.

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

A study of country population to people per representatives suggest a cube root, or 700 people for US House. Other countries are very close to this number. www.amacad.org/ourcommonpur...
