now watching

Marx was pretty clear that clinging to existing forms of labor as sacred was reactionary. The point was never to preserve jobs; it was to seize the means by which jobs become unnecessary.

My hottest parenting take is that Raffi is not only the great to ever do it, but he’ll probably never be bested. Michael Phelps-ass children’s songwriter.

They won't let me in! I'm sick man, and the bastards WON'T LET ME IN!

wtf is this lmao

another beautiful day of looking at screens ahead of us

There should be a Star Trek movie every two years and they should have indie film budgets and no explosions and almost everyone should hate them.

man what the hell are you talking about

São Paulo banned basically all outdoor advertising 20 years ago and it remains to me one of the largest object demonstrations of how wasteful, empty, and stupid capitalist society is. We deleted an entire industry from the city and *it simply made everything unambiguously better.*

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

you know, it really is kind of remarkable how republicans are not actually beholden to, like, anything they say, ever

People are just insane now of days

im a coder and i dont want to bend computers to my will i just want to play silly games

Like, I get the idea that AI *can* be liberatory, but let's not sleepwalk into assuming it WILL be. History says otherwise. Capability is not politics. A technology being able to liberate people does not mean it arrives socially configured to do that.

i feel like the SCOTUS stuff is really like 10x worse than people think it is

this one is extremely funny tbh

nostalgia poisoning is not a sickness inherent to millennials - it's just where we're at right now. we're living in a fascist, hyper-capitalist reality that has tamped down on art across the board. generational labels are fun to talk about at times but mostly come down to being astrology to me.

its easy to make mixtape a game over a movie because video game stories still get the 'wow it's good for a video game' buff for stories

You always bring the best vibes :)

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

i need to get a more interesting job

i love when the project in the project management software has requirements that are not documented inside the project management software

Well sir any accident you’re a part of is a freak accident haha. But yeah what’s the nature of your emergency

cmon guys, this is insane. i know bsky staff follow me, this is a ridiculous suspension.

gorgonzola - so good, its petrifying

it is both true that the past was far crueler than we can imagine and also true that we can and should demand a better future, and there's no conflict between these things

bee and puppycat is SO GOOD

you are canadian

That we continue to persist at all is a testament to our faith in one another.

noo those are my emotional support unopened boxes of dumb shit i bought online

ISAAC CHOTINER: So, this manga about the little dinosaur is called Gon? Me: By Masashi Tanaka, yeah. CHOTINER: This is badass. Thanks for showing this to me. Me: No problem.

say what you will about the bsky experience its cool that i can come on here and have a buncha mutuals i can shoot the shit with, it really does have a ‘bar regulars’ vibe

And there was never another Fantasy after this

it has the savor of analogical probability

Soviet hydrologists on the Aral Sea:

Ah, thank you, . I was unaware you did charity work in addition to your other talents.

Many of you (complimentary)

tried a delicious "coffee" this morning. a type of rich chowder made of beans. similar to japanese miso, with an intriguing flavour of wood

I'll take that.

did NOT have to put him on blast like this

Panicked posters: Trump is going to use this as a pretext to crack down on anyone to his left! Trump: I simply must be able to build the gaudiest ballroom anyone has ever seen. It is now a matter of national security.

The administration is constantly faking, dissembling, pseudo-eventing, Debording, Baudrillarding, just outright flim-flamming. When it bothers to fake anything at all as opposed to just Grandpa posting an AI video of himself poop bombing

my question is and has remained: how do we actually ensure a world in which people without the sauce still get basic dignity in their lives? i sense the default is 'not my fucking problem'
