Today is #MayDay yet most Americans are working multiple jobs, skipping rest, and still falling behind. That’s not a personal failure, that’s a system issue. Today is a reminder that none of this runs without laborers. Know your rights and your worth! & CHEERS TO US! 🍻

The "no-cost Olympics" is a myth. It cost $30k to send three LAPD SWAT officers to Paris and London for 2028 Olympic Games "research travel." It's one of many trips made by the department and city officials over the years in the lead-up to the Olympics. All paid with city money!

And this is the main thing I want to drive home. People aren’t shoplifting because it’s fun or their favorite podcaster is telling them to. They’re doing it because they’re broke or suffering from addiction more likely than not. This entire conversation is about a thing that’s largely not happening.

you guys can afford the dentist 😭

“just pick up the phone and make a call!” great I’ve been on hold for 2 hours and have spoken to no one, can someone please send me a way to do this electronically?

will we have 20 to 30% unemployment in 2-5 years? Maybe! Anything’s possible in trump’s america! will it be because of the glorious labor saving advances of AI? no, don’t be stupid

Sorry but I will never submit to the idea that humans are cruel. I’ve had many cruel things happen to me but overall my entire life is a result of persistent & unyielding kindness.

Can I please have help • eating • I have to take the cat to the vet tomorrow because she’s sick and digestive issues • not being homeless in 10 days

this is me with Tanny except the cage was the studio apartment we lived in alone for years slowly turning each other insane

Palantir are about six months away from ordering their employees to leave audio logs scattered around their offices

I've been thinking about the backlash Marie Kondo got and I think part of it was not just that she was saying "buy less shit" she was explicitly say "only buy what actually makes you happy" and in a nation of conspicuous consumption it pissed people off.

everyone wants to be a part of the counter culture when it’s already cool. no one wants to be a part of the counter culture when it’s people putting soap in their hair and shit. yet you’ll all claim to have “been there” later…

i do feel like we're headed for a realm of bigger counterculture driven by internet weirdo furries and queer/trans people that many of the establishment, even the more normie left-wing flanks, won't know what to do with. if you're uncomfortable with that stuff, now's the time to work through that.

dune enjoyers, has anyone theorized that spice is just microscopic fungal spores in the sand?

i hadn’t heard the strokes olivius before. good song

trying to get my sister to watch Twin Peaks and i find myself uttering horrific sentences like "it's Riverdale if Riverdale was actually good" or "it's innovative because it's men suggesting that the patriarchy might be evil" because i know i won't get her ass with "there's this dancing dwarf"

A lot of feminists push for the criminalization of sex work & the destruction of digital spaces for sex workers to post ads + screen clients. This essay shows you one outcome of that: a marketplace that favors the clients over the providers by every conceivable metric by cultivating whorephobia.

Any analysis of 2020 that doesn't begin with "I know we all tried to forget about this, but the mass graves were filling up, we were spraying hand sanitizer on Amazon packages" is missing why Biden won. Covid was horrible. People wanted anyone else in charge. The Dems couldn't lose if they wanted to

tbh i think making your-fave-is-problematic-style posts about Lena Dunham that include what she did to her sibling minimize COCSA a hell of a lot more than anything her defenders have ever said about it. COCSA incidents have 2 victims & it's not something that can be litigated through online posts

Here’s the story of one of them. Awful www.thestranger.com/forced-out/f...

i’m not being mean or anything like congrats to everyone but i met one of these women and how poor and ruined her life was after she freshly fled in her car. her nerves were shot. she’s one of the people that made this possible, and she’s forgotten and unheard from

Artemis II has successfully landed on the Planet of the Apes

Remember! The Olympics 🕺🏻 are not 💃🏻 for you! 🤗

The students protesting the war in Iran are asking "Why is the media not covering our campus protests?" and I think I figured it out — the media is too busy writing thinkpieces on "Where are the campus protests?" to actually cover the campus protests.

“Socialists” in LA who got Olympic tickets or tried to get Olympic tickets I see you

i say this often and i believe it. it got kind of uncool, during the obama era i think, to be anti-war because war itself is barbaric, unjust, and outright evil. but it is, and you can oppose war on those grounds alone.

You're ok if you're mentally ill, you're ok if you're mad. Do you know that? The world will constantly beat into you with false messaging that you're not an ok type of person. As mad people, we are an ok type of person. We're a different type of person than sane people.

so if you're in Artimis II and the world is nuked in hellfire on your way home, what do you do? Can you make a pit stop at the ISS to see if there's any way to get to an island or something that's spared or do you just get a few extra days to sit with yourself?

does everyone here know my dad died in January in part because he was poisoned by toxic waste produced by the Manhattan Project? i didn't know he was poisoned until after his cancer diagnosis. anyway. second-gen side effects are still disputed, but the bombs might have already killed me

as someone who has a lifelong "phobia" of nuclear weapons i actually think I'm handling life really well right now

I think redemption is possible for anyone, but post-"redemption" life doesn't look like "pretend nothing happened and go back to doing shows", it looks like practicing your art quietly at home with people who know what you did and are willing to hold you accountable

New on Knock: "I’ve been handed a tent and a ticket in the same exchange — the citation still warm from the printer" Kaylee Dunson shares her experience of anti-homeless sweeps, and the failures of a policy that says "housing first" but treats visibility as a problem. knock-la.com/they-gave-me...

Someone should start micro-targeting the guys who work in missile silos a bunch of ads that just say basically “hey man, you don’t want to end all of humanity do you? be a hero. disobey orders. literally no one will blame you and you will be celebrated as a hero of humanity if you disobey orders.”

when they see you buying 5 of the same seasonal candy at CVS and ask “are those good?” no I’m just a freak

1. Imagine being so braindead you buy a ticket for the Olympics 2. These guys are just scammers who want you to pay for their gentrification/ICE acceleration party

went to join a gym and they wanted my ROUTING NUMBER?! and BANK ACCOUNT?! they said this was industry standard now, I looked around and they were right 😭 like I don’t trust planet fitness with my bank account data who are these people. predatory af!!

All day, every day. Transphobes are not welcome here.

casey wasserman was constantly flying on jeffrey epstein’s plane btw

the LA Olympics are actually what Paul saw that scared him so much that he gave up the throne and walked into the desert. Frank Herbert was a genius

i forgot they just held the oscars at a train stop in 2021

i wonder if it's because i was born with asthma or if it's because I'm just not transphobic, but even if trans women were better at sports than cis people i literally don't care. some people are better at things than other people, more news at 11. running makes my lungs hurt so everyone's beating me

ultimately I think this is how to get results on any media boycott. Focus on getting people to not watch using legitimate sources (and, even better, make a push to get people to cancel their subscriptions around a particular event) and just accept that people are going to watch it in some way

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

if I ever get put on the show jury duty it would trigger the latent paranoid schizophrenia deep inside me
