Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

Frankly, nobody gives vegetables enough credit in this country

Now I don't know anything about soccer, but the US look completely outclassed here

Pretty often, when I encounter an overwhelming number of choices, I end up buying nothing at all

We used to learn about cool new content from our friends, now we hear about to from our algorithms. Which assuredly are not our friends.

best thing I am learning from Mamdani is to stay cheerful and keep going. Rage is tempting but it slows you down

It's been a while since I had to resent Duke's success, so I feel like they're due to make the final four this year

This is highly offensive to husbands

I think every company should be employee-owned. Or at least the employees should have the largest say in decision-making.

Gen Z is never going to be as resourceful or resilient as older generations because they have never had to interact with printers that were designed with zero concern for user-friendliness

The real "war on men"... Ironically

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison. Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water. Our priorities are so fucked.

She would win in a landslide

It feels once again important to remind everyone that it is not possible to become a billionaire in an ethical way. An ethical person could not tolerate the degree of abuses of employees and customers that it takes to accumulate that wealth. If you reply with 'not my billionaire', I'll block you.

Hard work is good. It's a shame people do it to try to get rich.

Does anyone know if Taylor Rehmet is religious or talked about religion in his campaign? I checked a few articles on him and his website -- didn't find anything (though I haven't watched the interviews that are video-only).

“The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez." www.propublica.org/article/alex...

It's unbelievable to me that we KNOW enough about human trafficking to know when the two biggest events are every year, and yet we haven't mobilized national law enforcement to prevent it in any serious way

Donald Trump started a war with Venezuela for no reason whatsoever. The US will win the war if this escalates, but will suffer the hatred of the whole world for a long period of time.

“Miss, do you agree with the sign?” “Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥 #ForcedBirthNation

The Hetch Hetchy Valley was a stunning part of Yosemite National Park.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Fortunately I've laid in a good supply of medical garlic

WATCH — @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social : "The reason for the Trump 2028 stuff is people don't know what to do after Trump. Those marginal voters he turns out are Trump-only voters, and Trump spent the last 10 years telling them they can only trust him and not the Republican Party."

[Good news] Native Plant Trust has now banked 10 million seeds of native New England plants, including rare & endangered ones 🌱 And they got $1.5 million more funding to continue this work 💪 When the present seems so unstable, it's good to think about a native plant-i-ful future

Q: What do farmers say when they play poker? A: "Weed 'em and reap!"

When Trump calls climate change a "con job," he is representing his fossil fuel billionaire friends, not science.   Climate change is REAL. It is an existential threat to the planet and future generations. We must transform our energy systems away from fossil fuels.

These are all just places where we are surveilled, sorted, and encouraged to despair
