YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

This is the future Big Oil built for us. Fossil fuel companies knew decades ago that their products would drive increasingly severe and frequent heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires, but lied to protect their own profits at the expense of public health and safety. The public deserves accountability.

I don't really enjoy the "Look at what this asshole said" genre of posting but it's hard to avoid when the assholes in question control the government and economy

If he were a Columbia student and said this his citizenship would be revoked

If you've seen the Juneteenth flag, but don't know its history or what it means, you can read about it in the words of Ben Haith, the man who designed it. Happy Emancipation Day! ✊🏽 #Juneteenth capitalbnews.org/juneteenth-f...

voting for whichever politician runs on making bathtubs in this country the kind that adults can fit into like they have in japan

Okay, it's time for a Moist Owlette™ timeline cleanse. Today's moist owlette is "Owlfredo" at the Stone Zoo in Stoneham, Massachusetts. She's an Eastern screech owl (Megascops asio) & Animal Ambassador with a big personality. (📷: @zoonewengland.bsky.social via IG)

Going to sleep content with the knowledge that because I care about people and people care about me, my life is more meaningful and satisfying than Jeff Bezos’s, by orders of magnitude.

"The mere existence of trillionaires is a major political and economic problem, probably the defining issue of our time," writes @gabrielzucman.bsky.social. "When the power of wealth is wielded by sociopaths, the consequences are a matter of life and death."

The AI rollout is an incredible test case for the power of capital to overrule everything in its way. An overwhelmingly stupid, obscenely polluting, and wildly dangerous set of technologies are being brute-forced into every part of our lives because money says so.

Despite my many complaints about our country I'm an optimist about it. Did you know bidets are getting more popular here? There's hope for us. First we will fix our Asses, then we will fix our hearts

Journalists have a duty to tell the public that the president and his aides are seriously considering suspending habeas corpus *when it is happening* rather than saving it for a book rollout over a year later

We don't have faith in institutions to protect us when they constantly fail to meet the moment while telling us "it's hard." I'm so sick of it. They're never the ones to live with the consequences of this. They get to pass the buck and then show up at pride saying how much they support us.

This is exactly it. The work is the point.

Huh, I wonder whose fault that is

If you’ve never worked as an artist, you’re probably unaware how ingrained this idea is, that people should have free access to art, and artists should work for the love of it. It’s so pervasive that the creative industries are effectively subsidized by artists’ earnings from other jobs.

With its recent rulings, the Roberts Court has now entirely perverted the purpose of the 15th Amendment, turning an outright ban on racial discrimination in voting into a right to discriminate against black voters. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Meta: I’m sorry, you can’t advertise that post with the music you chose. We don’t have a license and want to be respectful. Also Meta: Would you like to speed run the destruction of Earth for an image of you as a Studio Ghibli character built from the stolen work of all artists who have ever lived?

Generative AI is basically what people believed digital art was forever, they thought the computer was doing all the work, and it was one of the primary criticisms/accusations. But now, suddenly, everyone is all gung-ho? Make it make sense.

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

Welp there’s no unseeing this

Snails with flails. Bunnies with swords. A political message in florals. ⚔️

Everything has to change. Everything. Do not settle for politicians who want to go back to "normal." "Normal" was the garbage state of existence that allowed all of this evil to take root and thrive. Everything has to change.

"let people enjoy things" is over. we must want things to be good

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

zohran mamdani announced a plan to seize properties from bad landlords and private equity if tenents suffer from neglect and i genuinely do not think i’ve seen rightwing circles this mad in reaction to anything i’ve ever seen before lol

the only video worth rescuing from my deleted twtter

Fuck David Ellison and everyone at CBS who is responsible for canceling The Late Show. David Letterman built something magnificent for you, and Stephen Colbert expertly brought it into the modern era. And you threw it all away in an instant because Dear Leader cannot take a joke.

People write often about how companies like Intuit lobby Congress bc their business model relies on the tax system being artificially bad. I feel like the less obvious problem is that the system being so painful and annoying is also stealth propaganda for the anti-tax, anti-social programs side

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

Just swimming by to say hello.

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

I’m so tired of politicians telling us that we, the people have the power to change government but then not fulfilling their part of the basic premise, which is acting on our behalf. The whole point is that they’re supposed to pitch ideas on how to make things happen and we give them power to do so

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

Alien: And how did you run out of water? Earthling: Machines drank it. Alien: Machines. Earthling: We had to feed machines the water. Aliens: So the machines were holding your planet hostage for water. Earthling: No, we made the thirsty machines. They worked for us. Alien: End communication.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

lol

I got to wish miss Daisy a happy mother's day as she had been rescued with a litter of kittens! She has yet to tell me how many grandkitties I have out there 😅
