It’s giving middle passage

Congratulations to the oligarchs. Maybe someday we'll have a court that gives a fuck about the rest of us 🙏

yes, the wheels of justice are slow. agonizingly, excruciatingly slow. and oftentimes they miss or go off the tracks entirely. in fact most of the time. but occasionally, very infrequently, that big wheel of justice delivers theoretical remuneration for a handful of vested business interests

"... because they've been working all day, and they're tired, and they just want to sit at home and watch something at home. I don't think that's laziness, I think it's a form of immiseration that is hard to overcome, because it costs so much to live now." 🔥

I've been saying it a lot, but these deaths line up with what happened in early concentration camps during other regimes: Deaths from poor conditions, disease, or abuse. These deaths are not accidental. They are the direct result of a camp system that is designed to harm those being imprisoned.

My sun goblin is really relishing false spring. He's been on this stump for an hour.

Huh, I'm not the only one that has had this fantasy

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

I'd prefer it not have taken decades but personally I like blows being struck against elite impunity and would like that for us in the US very much

notorious radical left communist rag says tax the rich

Me: I'm a Catholic apostate Also me: I kind of love the Pope?

"Is there a technology the left is excited about?" Let's see, off the top of my head: - libraries - solar power - community-owned, community-run [noun], for example • power grids • communications networks - e-bikes - voting by mail - vaccinations - affordable health care Notice any patterns?

I think it's delightful that our DVD of Casablanca includes the Looney Tunes parody Carrotblanca.

Ramadan Mubarak! Kung Hei Fat Choi! Laissez bon temps rouler! Hodesh Adar tov! Y'ALL ⭐

My husband is in his fourth year of teaching (upper elementary) and just had their fifth student lose a parent in that time. Absolutely horrible.

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

Once again, the Oscars in memorium is going to be wild! We've lost so many greats in the last year.

Tax the rich is the moderate position

wealth concentration is already 200% as bad at is was in 2020. think about that

They're still out there. The goofs and spoofs. If we can only find them. Wondermark #1582; Limit Your Scream Time

Went to Door County (WI) this fall with my sisters and on the way we came across a sign that said something like "Multicultural Way." It listed dozens of different flavors of the area's white colonizers. We dunked on it so hard, but apparently even that is too diverse for this bozo.

The last thing I ate in CDMX was a freshly fried churro that I fear may have ruined other churros for me. It's been 12 hours and I'm still thinking about it.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

Some people are calling it the flag of Woke 2

But it does it quickly and congratulates you for asking

Flight from US to Mexico: packed Flight from Mexico to US: the emptiest flight I've ever been on

I know I'm days late to this discourse but I'm currently in Mexico and my husband (who has been doing Duolingo Spanish daily for 4 years) is annoyed that I understand people and can speak more confidently in Spanish ... all because my French is pretty decent.

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

I know that I'm zeroing on this because it's what I have a master's degree in but ARCHIVISTS!?!?!?!? GTFO Like most jobs on this list, archival jobs are at risk because archivists are undervalued by the oligarchs running the show, not because of AI.

Tag yourself. I'm "I am very tired, very stomachy & hate nearly the whole world."

Great time at the Museo Nacional de Antropología today. However, lots of "this is a reproduction, the original is in X European country" and that is some bogus shit right there.

MINNESOTA IS NOT OK. EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE TALKING ABOUT MINNESOTA… THEY ARE LITERALLY FEEDING FAMILIES THROUGH UNDERGROUND RAILROAD STYLE ROUTES THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND APPARENTLY HELICOPTERS AND DRONES FLY OVERHEAD CONSTANTLY EVEN THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.

From my best friend in the burbs West of Minneapolis this morning.

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

Same. Who the fuck is Hubert? It's Bitz or Grandpa Pancakes—Hubert is a stranger.

US taxpayer funded horrors

The MCA should respond by installing a Wesley Willis drawing of Comiskey Park

On my way to Ciudad de Mexico and practicing my Spanish. Buenos Dias. Disculpe. Por favor. Gracias. Soy estadounidense, lo siento, háblame como si fuera una niña. Chinga la migra.

Babe, wake up. New leader of antifa just dropped. (Thank you fellow trivia team for sharing your art.)

my opinion on the Bad Bunny halftime show, and non-English music in general, is that i think a need to “be able to understand the lyrics” displays an embarrassing shallowness of the speaker to appreciate the voice as an instrument & to appreciate music as something other than a lyric delivery system

Post a banger that isn't in English (had a hard time picking because this whole album slaps)

We need to forbid law enforcement from using facial recognition tech *and* other private data like this. Full stop. Because if they have access, you can bet ICE and CBP do too. Read more about my work on this in Wisconsin here: wisconsinexaminer.com/briefs/democ...

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Really excited for Saint-Saëns' Organ Symphony at the MSO tonight. Another piece of art that is mentally connected to my dad's death (it was playing on the radio when I was driving to the hospital where we got the Bad Diagnosis) so I will probably cry, but I really love it nonetheless.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Channing Tatum, but only if he does an extravagant dance number.

The answer to "it's hard to make art when you're poor" is "stop letting people hoard resources while other people starve" not "use plagiarism machines created and owned by the wealthy to churn out dogshit."
