worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

A related point is that the uber wealthy love this not only because it allows them to keep their wealth but also because it commodifies the pursuit of knowledge and turns it into another possession, a status symbol, rather than a basic human right and common good.

I ran out of shampoo and used bar soap for a couple days and then decided I was irritated at having a bottle sitting in my shower that always gets gross and so I kept using bar soap for my hair. It's been several months and I'm literally just using a bar of dial soap in the shower and I'm a big fan.

DHS doesn’t even bother trying to lie well. The man whose skull was shattered told the hospital he’d been struck by ICE officers, an ICE officer told hospital staff the guy “got his sh*t rocked,” then when it became clear how badly he was injured, they claimed he deliberately ran into a wall.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

If this guy told me I looked like a soup sandwich I simply would never recover.

The thing that I hate most in the world is some mother fucker in a Winter Park McMansion who thinks that scamming people is cool and smart but paying taxes is for suckers. These dicks think they’re winning but their souls smell like ass and they’ve built nothing but wealth.

We’re in an atrocious information environment. These platforms are sucking absolutely everything dry. I can’t find myself blaming this young woman for telling a good story when 3 billionaires are optimizing our entire society to consume more ads.

Read this very carefully. A man who emigrated to the US as a child, as a WWII refugee, has been taken by ICE for being in the country "illegally." In no world, never mind in a country that claims to support the rights of individuals, should that sort of thing happen.

It makes me incredibly upset when I see masked people in public restrooms that do that dogshit splash and dash. If you actually cared about anyone's health you wouldn't be doing that disgusting shit.

never really thought about it before getting an engagement ring but people who say they literally never take their ring off are gross. you should not be doing literally everything with that thing. also I've seen the way the average person "washes" their hands 🤢🤢🤢

ancient humans making animal species extinct by winging atlatl darts at them from range is so much cooler than modern humans making animal species extinct by building data centers. washed species

so from what I understand asthma is totally absolutely linked to fossil fuel pollution. like asthma really popped off post-industrial revolution. so I find it kinda funny that so many rich people have really expensive gas stoves. all that money and spend it on worsening your air quality. crazy work.

thinking about the house I toured a couple years ago where I saw a container of Bloom in the pantry and thought "oh that's a red flag right" and subsequently witnessed some of the worst DIY I've ever seen IRL

saw a tiktok from a derm basically saying don't use lip products that dry you out & if you need smthn for chapped lips, vaseline or aquaphor is the go-to. comment section is full of people saying "[product you said doesn't work well] actually works really well for me, that's why I use it every day"

I'm convinced that 99% of food storage in home kitchens can be effectively accomplished with polypropylene cambro style containers and food pans. I'm genuinely finding it difficult to think of exceptions. So far I just have cupcakes, sometimes, as they may have problems moving around in a food pan.

when I see someone online say they got metal tupperware so they don't have to worry about chemicals leeching from plastic and I know damn well they got some aliexpress ass stuff from amazon/homegoods. hope you ain't got much lead in there 🙏🏻

When I give public talks now, I explain we are living through a series of de facto constitutional amendments, where the executive asks for radically more power, the judiciary largely agrees, and the GOP-led Congress is committing a form of institutional suicide. Very much this:

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

holy shit tiddlywiki fucks

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

the entire population of NYC is about it to become transgender!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

If you're a rich person trying to performaitively leave New York STAY IN LINE

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

*taps sign*

*DEM CONSULTANT NEPOBABY VOICE* now do you get it? america, do you finally see???? scavenger hunts are the future. thats how you win. scavenger hunts. thats what america wants. nothing else. definitely not fighting for rights or anything

"What we see, I think, are a bunch of rich guys who have been comically out of touch with normal people for many decades, and more recently have blowtorched their brains into a smoking pile of ash on Elon Musk’s Twitter/X and in various group chats." prospect.org/2025/11/04/a...

we did it babes.... we're the opposite of cooked. what is that. we're ingredients

I hope Democrats unveil their new “TRANSGENDER FOR EVERYONE” policy tomorrow. America is ready.

Let's not forget the real victim of the NYC Mayoral election, Curtis Sliwa, who will never see his dream of an army of millions of feral cats flooding the streets of New York.

a man with vile beliefs but you have to admit they just don't make bona fide haters like they used to

There are more of us than there are of them.

genuinely beautiful that new york elected a muslim lefty mayor the same day that dick cheney died

everyone gets to lib out just a little today :)

If you are (or work for) a politician and have questions about how to use YouTube well, please ask.

live view from cuomo hq

The officer Sandwich Guy is charged with assaulting testifies that he could feel the impact of the sandwich through his ballistic vest, and it “exploded all over my uniform.” He says he could “smell the onions and the mustard.”

OK so here's the deal. the actions we've seen in the last year have been those of a party who believes it will NEVER lose power again. Tonight will be a horrible moment of realization for many of them. they will respond like dogs backed into a corner. be safe. we're gonna win.

New map of the cool parts of NYC just dropped.

millennial muslim asian mayor of New York City. nature is healing.

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO

If you’re still in line, STAY IN LINE

I yearn for a political party where not endorsing Mamdani while praising Dick Cheney gets you automatically booted out
