You have the power to change the world… www.youtube.com/shorts/ZTaAq...

I hope she finds her way back into a seat, Talarico edging her out was a blatant reflection of the internalized white supremacy that plagues our country. She is a stronger advocate for progress.

I love these stories. What a time to be alive and young, and lucky to be facing an exhausted enemy. There's no way in fuck you'd get me to go to war now, American immorality aside it will never never be like this again. War is not for humans anymore.

CPI isn't just a bad measure of inflation because it doesn't account for rent, it's bad because it treats a cheap particle board and veneer object the same as something made of solid wood. As goods become cheaper, wages can decline without "affordability" being noticeably affected.

Are they *choosing* to wait longer, or do they feel like they have to, because it would be too hard to provide for a family with the jobs they're able to get at that age? I think Millennials seem to have actually chosen it, but Zoomers may feel differently.

This is the magic of gift-giving. It's not the object, gift-giving is an action that speaks louder than words when it says: "You are in my thoughts, you matter to me, and I want you to feel that."

Something I don't see considered in discussions of inflation, wages, and affordability is the effect enshittification had on lowering our standard of living quietly. Our wage comparisons tend to stop at the 1970s because that's when mass produced disposable goods started replacing craftsmanship.

Walt Whitman ruined poetry

Will somebody rid me of this turbulent president!

The reality is neither of these sites matter. 4chan has more effect on our politics than these. The media and institutions LOVE to pretend it matters, it keeps us from talking to people close enough to actually organize with.

Peter Thiel was an early investor in Spotify. The Rogan acquisition and subsequent weaponization was entirely his doing.

I am BEGGING everyone to find people outside the online social media space to talk to. Twitter is not NEARLY as influential as media makes it appear and politicians pretend it is. Action is not inspired sitting alone by yourself no matter who is on the other side of the screen.

the issue with modern video games is that they're not on big giant cartridges that visibly stick out of the console anymore

This gets funnier the more I think about the Brians I've known 😂

Here's a law we desperately need, mostly to protect journalists: If the person or entity suing you has, example, 10x more wealth than you they automatically have to pay your legal fees if they want to even file the suit.

He said he doubled the cost, but the square-cube law is a law even Trump cannot break. Doubling the size of the building WAY WAY WAY more than doubles its cost. 5x is an undersell.

My hero ❤️

DUDE What, 130 days in he already balanced the budget? America's Mayor

Now this is a feel-good chart.

Deregulation and minimal government sounds great until they learn the hard way what ALL OF US were taught in school.

Holy shit I knew that pose looked familiar 😂 Question is, was the sculptor defiant or did the dumbass specifically request to look like one of his heroes?

I think the actual debate is over "whether we can work with her on some issues where we happen to be aligned" vs. "we should not work with her on anything", but the latter group is spinning the former into "we should ally with MTG and change our policies to suit hers".

"If the hell you incessantly preach, the hell that you threaten the entire world with, the hell you wield like a hammer against the vulnerable & hurting in your path—if that hell exists, you will certainly find yourselves there."

I don't know why it's so hard for so many people who aren't rich but aren't destitute to understand how workers have been getting squeezed by diminishing wages and devalued money for decades. This started in the 1970s. It's vast and complex and nuanced, which makes it hard to have real conversations

Hah, she did block me! Worth it. Look at that adorable little guy!

This isn't a lack of education, the man is lying and he knows he's lying. I swear, it's like lying has become so normalized in our society people just don't even consider it anymore.

If a small group of government employees can overturn the will of the people as expressed in a referendum, I am not sure that you can still call it a democracy. Nothing more fundamentally anti-democratic than that.

The presence others behold of us online is an autobiography of our whims. It's good not to take it too seriously.

If you start from the premise "Any reply that's not kissing my ass is equally abusive," then, sure, you could claim that the abusive harassment group on here isn't doing anything differently from anyone else. Everyone quote posts things they disagree with, to make a counterpoint, after all.

Neoliberalism is centered around a cult of postmodernism; In a world void of meaning where the whole universe is contained in personal experience the only god is power and money is its prophet. The leaders of that postmodernist cult, by default, are the billionaires.

@techconnectify.bsky.social Absolute masterpiece, I'm already very pro hybrid to accelerate phasing out ICE dependence but I learned a ton from this. This is very important information to disseminate. m.youtube.com/watch?v=KnUF...

(inventing social media) we want to start releasing DLCs for the DSM-5

Crybullies get fucked, I don't care who you are or what your politics are you're a piece of shit and a real threat to trans people as a demographic. You are poison by association.

I will vote for Platner because he is the lesser evil and that’s how we should vote. A vote is never an endorsement. An endorsement is an endorsement. A vote is a choice!

Omfg that's the perfect response to "read a book" "Read a second book"

"I'm not a pedophile" protests the world's most notorious pedophile.

“RFK is a eugenicist who believes that people with chronic health conditions deserve to die preventable deaths” is a plain fact that the news media cannot or will not tell the public.

She wants to groom children, now.

Being sociable with kind people is SO much better than doing drugs but I smoke a lot of pot because everyone is SO FUCKING MEAN in this country. Kindness to self absorbed ratio is like 1:10

Bruh Israel's surprise attacks on Lebanon during the ceasefire were dubbed, by them, "Operation Eternal Darkness." I don't think there's a clearer message you can send saying "we are the bad guys here" than using a name like that while shooting missiles into civilians. Like, what the fuck is that.

Warehouse workers doing some mighty effective protest. Before we think to condemn anyone for the horrible crime of destroying property, think about how much property those workers could've bought with all those stolen wages that have been building up over the years.

AI is the best thing to happen to Satan since gambling. (not an endorsement of Christian theology please don't fear rhetorical device)

Really, zero engagement? I thought that was a banger, "excess wealth is a deficit of joy" come on I can't be this out of touch that is a 10/10 sentence.

Money really can buy happiness. Instead of spending on themselves and hoarding wealth, if billionaires discovered the abiding satisfaction of service to your community they would never want to be billionaires again, for excess is nothing more than a deficit of joy.

When China is the new global hegemon thanks to Trump literally handing it to them on a tacky gold platter, they're gonna embargo us like we've been doing to Cuba WATCH The levels of fucked we are is really beyond anyone's reckoning.

OH MY GOD The McPoyles are running the country 😭

I don't mean to glaze the Iranian regime or anything but holy shit their propaganda videos have been ridiculously good.

Occupy Wall St got a little ahead of itself, I think we need an "Occupy Reality" movement before we can get anywhere

Killing pilots was a policy choice.
