The most "seen" I've felt recently was when "This is Why" was playing in a store I really didn't want to be shopping at

"There’s an extremely hurtful narrative going around that my product, a revolutionary new technology that exists to scam the elderly and make you distrust anything you see online, is harmful to society."

The one thing that set me off with capitalism is i can’t get my head around that machines can do orders of magnitude more than could be achieved 100 years ago but we’re still working 40-60 hours a week. We just keep getting more efficient and it keeps getting swallowed up somewhere (billionaires)

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

I was gonna make a joke about Dumbo, but I decided it was irrelephant

Looks like GA really didn't get our money's worth for a nearly 1/2 billion dollar tax break for data centers: www.wabe.org/georgia-data...

what pisses me off to no end is that I live in a super rural area in MN, I’m a middle aged white man, but they always find these chuds to speak for me. Here’s a thought, maybe don’t go to the bar at 10am on a weekday and expect to find deep thinkers. This whole article is a fucking insult
