According to BlueSky Platner is another Fetterman which begs the question— is Fetterman better or worse than Collins?

Communism: Unqualified appointees appoint their friends and cronyism runs rampant. Democracy: Elected officials appoint their friends and cronyism runs rampant.

The most national pride I had was November 2008. That was the peak for me.

Is your ability to fix a pothole a litmus test for your society/community?

Call me crazy, but LinkedIn is for professional networking. I don’t want to meet a gym coach on LinkedIn, and I can’t imagine a world in which I do. I guess I lack imagination.

If it’s a news site, but I can’t comment on it— it’s not for me.

I’d rather hear good ideas from an imperfect human than perfect ideas from a greedy, out-of-touch person.

You’re right. We should keep arguing about how best to change the government instead of making mistakes and doing our best while actually enacting change.

I asked Talkie 1930 what the most effective form of population control was. It said to keep your population employed. That’s why UBI will never pass. When we have time to organize the status quo will be revolutionized.

No one is talking about how the US has Dutch disease with AI— but this time it’s Dutch cancer because it is sweeping the globe.

The US constitution is flawed, drafted in the 1700s; update that shit you dumbasses.

How do you know #mayday will be a success? No one is talking about it. So that will help /s

You have a job? Great. You are probably excluded from participating in the economy. Only the wealthy can do that. Why would they allow the poor? I’m articulating this poorly, but healthy societies allow all people to contribute to its success.

I wonder if there are any obvious cases that the Dems are building so they can indict Trump? I wonder what their plan is besides cuck themselves.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 The corporations will save us!

Honestly if I could get away with tax protesting I would. So it’s hard for me to judge why some corporations avoid taxes as much as possible, but just kidding no it isn’t— it’s greed. Just greed.

Racism: Rampant Sexual Assault: Rampant Monopolies: Rampant

You’re - you are Your - you didn’t proofread.

Idk who needs to hear this, but you— yes you are not going to save the world by yourself. You aren’t. You will have to organize with people and live intentionally to even have the smallest effect.

K-shaped economy? You mean two-tiered economy. Nintendo - luxury brand. Nvidia - 5070 “low class”; 5090– you’re priced out, plebe. Apple Neo? Here’s our scraps now praise us for it. Two tiered. “It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.” George Carlin

Step 1: Steal Venezuela’s oil Step 2: Start unnecessary war Step 3: Steal 2026 elections Step 4: Profit

I’m clocking this Easter Sunday as the first time I’ve seen a sitting president swear publicly. “Open the fuckin’ straight”. Oof.

I think in the US whenever you profit from a crime— we might send you to prison— sure, but we don’t confiscate the wealth. Either these cronies are counting on a pardon or they aren’t afraid of jail time.

The Cardinality of the Continuum.

Seize the means of production. That’s the only thing they understand. You can do this peacefully— however you will not be met with peace.

Once art is created, it no longer belongs to the artist and although the works are associated with a human creator, they don’t necessarily belong to them. They are culture— they will be abstracted over time to the fabric of humanity. Horrible people can make wonderful things. Being human is complex

Honestly, you guys. I personally did not want to go to war with Iran. I wasn’t even consulted.

Pokopia as a game key card for physical edition? Thanks. I hate it.

Pokopia. Do want. Why?

We’re in our peak FAFO era.

Dear Democrats, I don’t want to hear another thing that Trump as done until you give me a plan on how to stop/account for the things he already has done. I will hear about them from Reuters etc. Your assignment is to create a plan to stop him. Don’t fuck this up.

No lives matters until our most vulnerable and marginalized lives matter.

There’s no justice. There’s just us.

Pardon me while I pardon myself.

When the Supreme Court— the highest court in the land — says you did something illegal you’re definitely gonna see consequences. Right? Who am I kidding?

I wonder how rich you have to be to be mad you’re being indicted and charged with contempt?

Where are all the foreign comic book covers of super heroes beating up Trump?

Lots of orgs “reorganizing” (read: down sizing). So sickening. Yes business is business but in the backdrop of this job market it seems gross.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night? The thing about Seattle is that they’re always Walker IIIing it in.
