My homegirl with a massive platform broke it down for me. She is now a political consultant on the side of her influencing and the Democrats came to her offering her $40,000 to stop posting critically about the DNC and the party as a whole

A reminder that the people you see on here with ridiculous takes like this are VERIFIABLY being paid EXTREMELY large sums of money to make them

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

Also, never ask someone why they're wearing a mask! Just don't! You're not entitled to people's health info!

My takeaway is these politicians know something about Trump's medical condition that we don't. Trump is very sick, probably dying— and they're betting that he won't last out his term. They're carving out space in the post-Trump MAGA world. MTG is distancing herself from the Vance 2028 camp.

MTG announced her retirement just a few days after the end of the Government shutdown. Since then; there have been many GOP figures floating retirements or outright announcing them in advance. The information has matriculated down that the Economy is about to blow & they are rats abandoning ship.

Wrote about how disappointing it is that Jon Stewart punched down on people masking at @motherjones.com, when people should mind their own business and leave mask wearers be. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

We’re bearing witness to the enshittification of the stock market, where toxic companies appreciate in value despite their toxicity, recklessness and waste, aided and abetted by analysts who not only ignore the toxicity but actively celebrate it. www.wheresyoured.at/the-enshitti...

the thing i keep coming back to is this: if they’re willing to joke about this publicly, imagine what they say with fewer eyes on them. if they’re willing to joke about this publicly, why would anyone—let alone an employee reliant on them for healthcare—divulge such sensitive information?

Folks are spending more time rehabilitating MTG and funding “humane AI” than actually providing resources to the building blocks of resistance like I don’t know food , news integrity

They want slavery and permanent slave classes and our white male “resistance” leaders get millions of dollars to mock masking But everyone things they are doing enough

Nobody knows what they are doing. Companies are run by the fantastically incompetent and unjustifiably confident. Everything in the economy is a confidence scam. Economics is entirely fake. Do what thou wilt, there is nobody coming to save us but yourselves.

IMHO white supremacy is about who is forced to shoulder the burden of facing every consequence and who is empowered to paper over facing consequences of their cruelty

If you ask someone when they were forced to apologize for being white, they will absolutely name a time when they were asked to apologize for doing something racist and they conflated doing racism with being white because they have a vague understanding of the power dynamics of white supremacy

A brunch of liberals & a misery of republicans (Tim is a con) giggle, belittle, whine & throw tantrums on their WFH podcast because mature, prosocial people made masking a healthy habit like brushing our teeth liberals hate that people they view as beneath them are making them face consequences

They think any minority doing something making themselves uncomfortable is worthy of mockery and they aren’t actually shunned for it

Wait have people really not connected that a major reason why LLM tools like eg claude code has such pull with many of its boosters is because it’s just loot boxes all over again

A brunch of liberals (Tim Miller is a Republican) giggle, belittle, & whine about people behaving maturely & pro-socially by forming a new healthy habit because liberals like republicans lack the maturity, lack the empathy, & lack the life skills to face consequences & adapt to reality

Once a Republican Always a Republican Tim miller The Bulwark White Podcast Bros Suck

I mask because SEVERAL people I know irl have been absolutely fucked up by covid without relief for years and I am already as disabled as I wish to be.

It's really interesting to see how dark patterns started as actual strategies backed by (evil) research but through two decades of reuse became this weird cargo cult marketing scheme where people just imagine that the money extracted from users scales linearly with how many pop ups you show them.

This is the same bullshit European billionaires tried to pull a few years ago too. The French said "bet" and none of the French billionaires left and France is doing just fine. The Brits...Brexited.

these dumb fucks aren't going anywhere. we literally just watched a bunch of them move their entire operations to Texas before quietly moving back bc they didn't realize they would actually have to live in Texas

"The makers of AI aren’t damned by their failures, they’re damned by their goals. Their wish is that nobody ever has to make art again. They want to create a new kind of mind, so they can force it into mindless servitude. Their dream is to invent new forms of life to enslave."

In America, where irony is dead, a hotel chain uses a policy denying shelter to local people, for fear of accidentally housing homeless persons… To deny a reservation to the author of a much-lauded book on how American economic unfairness forces working people into homelessness.

Here is Judah Friedlander’s reply, which includes the relevant clip.

You cannot convince me that the people who were killed by chatGPT all died, essentially, of mere neglect. LLM chatbots played a clear role in their deaths. Corporations are mass-deploying tech that induces people to suicide, we do need to treat this as the abomination that it is.

I've spent the last three days baking in an oven so forgive me if I'm less than tactful here but: no we do actually have to address the machine-that-makes-you-more-mentally-ill aspect of this. "AI bad" is an important component of this!

All the arguments for AI are like "the world already sucks donkey dick so why not just suck machine dick too?" or "you fucking rube, it's the future, and you're an asshole for not seeing that" or like "sure it's killing people but isn't the REAL problem that they're vulnerable to murder"

I've been thinking about this a lot--about wealth and recreation. The rich used to sell us diminutive versions of what they could afford that we could not. Dolls, dollhouses, model trains and cars. Now we don't even get the object. We get an image of the object. No, we RENT an image of the object.

I know right?! Surprised me too. This year, I just stopped talking about anything-Covid w/ remaining friends-turned-acquaintances & family. But she asked how long I planned to mask w/ genuine curiosity & we had a productive convo. I’m under no delusion she’ll start masking today but I planted seeds

For 2 years I've been screaming that the plan is to ban human sex work (thus destabilizing an industry which allows marginalized populations with a way to make a living) and provide the army of gooner chuds with AI rape slop as a substitute. Believe me yet?

Of course there’s no magical word etc that will change every person’s mind. I don’t engage antimaskers but still try w/ good-faith folk. It’s OK if you’re done trying, many of us are. But yesterday, I got thru to a friend who asked—only one who hasn’t abandoned me for still masking. Worth my effort

I remember when a bunch of these liberal podcasters mocked masking and dunked on Alice Wong for advocating for masks. Showed me how shallow and asinine they really are.

tangent to this though, im kind of down for this pluralization --a pride of lions --a school of fish --a brunch of liberals

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

Damn. RIP Mickey Lee✨ Gotta say though...a series of cardiac arrests at 35 following "flu complications" sounds a lot like an immune system ravaged by Covid. Heart attacks at 35 are becoming far too common, and if you look at the science the cause is obvious. Please protect yourselves, friends 😷

That scary moment when people who pretended you didn’t exist for a long time start actually acknowledging you again … So something must be BAD

“They will be starting school soon. I really hope their immunity has been built up in daycare after all these bugs.” (Quote from exhausted parent who is looking forward to a break from the infection merry-go-round.)

evangelicals might be the largest grifters to ever exist in human history lol

AI is a lack of consent machine, that is an extension of people’s belief in transactional relationships . One of the hardest parts of their convo is going to be handling how we communicate around the reality that the desire for control to the point of never hearing no is a maladaption

I’m ready for the AI bubble in western liberal democracies, especially in the European Union and the United States of America, to fucking burst. The bubble will explode like a supernova and many of those big-techies and AI tech bros will have to live on as hobos and drifters.

A brunch of liberal WFH podcasters giggled, belittled, & whined about mature people who formed a new healthy habit they just do like brushing their teeth Like, they won. It’s been 6 years without any mask mandates, only mask bans. And anti-masking is literally a project 2025 goal on pg 475

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic. It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today. Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

It’s so funny when rich people are like ‘if you do this minor socialism we will move away!’ buddy we are telling you we would live in a utopia if you simply died

People are not being paid enough. You can't maintain slave wages when prices are rising at this rate. The federal minimum wage is obscene. I hate that a DemSoc established the framing for this as "affordability" when the problem is that wages are stagnant and capitalists are hoarding all the wealth

To Simplify; The Western 'Paper Silver' trade has ~365 'slips' of ownership for Silver for every actual oz of Silver that actually exists On January 1st, 2026; China cuts off 60-70% of the physical supply that could bail out that ponzi scheme that never actually necesitated delivery We're FUCKED

Just a reminder that Neoliberal Capitalism is operated by The Fed, The Treasury, JPMorgan, Goldman, & BlackRock. The entirety of its leadership ostensibly exists within two cities in the United States; NYC and Washington D.C. If you want to know what the most "Centralized Economy" is...

This alone, if it were actually reported in the correct context, would make the current "chance of Bankruptcy ovr the next 5 yrs" for Oracle (8% chance) & CoreWeave (42% chance) CONSERVATIVE. If the CDS for both don't reflect 25%+ for Oracle / 75%+ for CoreWeave by Q2 2026; I'll eat several hats.
