A country completely made up of this guy

americans have no problem building a giant city on a swamp, and i think that's beautiful

"Hernandez and his coworkers believed they were taking full precautions — masking up, wearing safety glasses and blasting streams of water when cutting stone to suppress dust. None of these workers had any idea those measures were powerless against silica."

Some of the current efforts to dilute and dismantle Black American social, cultural, and especially political power: 1) Ending civil rights era legislation. 2) Voter disenfranchisement. 3) FBA/ADOS movements. 4) Blaming Black America for US "one drop" racial strata. 5) D9 & PHFAM orgs as "demonic."

car drivers deserve fewer rights

i don't think people who resent the young should be teaching them. my lord.

if we want young people to be interested in the collective good it starts with us collectively taking interest in them. i have seen the walkouts on high school campuses and the student protests against genocide and i think this is a generation with enormous potential & we should nurture that.

Today, I urge everyone to find and financially support an independent news outlet — one that will not be attending a spectacle dinner tonight to schmooze with the Trump administration while they berate the press.

A brief interruption from my online hiatus to say ciao from Bologna where it’s Liberation Day—a celebration across Italy marking the end of Nazism/fascism in 1945, which has obviously taken on some new significance in recent years. Really interesting to witness.

i still don't actually have an opinion on mr.piker, but it is tempting to form one just based on what i know about the people who are most outraged by his presence in the culture. hard to believe they're right about something this time.

If you’re against DEI, you’re a segregationist and I’m tired of folks, for the sake of politeness and naïveté, pretending the discussion is anything but that.

Advocates for "small government" depend upon a sleight of hand wherein particular individuals or groups retain enormous governmental power while appearing "small" because they have managed to eliminate regulation, accountability, and public visibility.

I’m fascinated by these media cycles that are unmoored from any actual development or event in the real world, but which fuel days, even weeks, of content production and commentary. Someone tweeted something, then the Times made a vitality-bait video, now TCW does his little dance—all about nothing.

Thinking again about how Ro Khanna and a handful of goo-goo types said liberals should give DOGE a chance on government reform, and then DOGE pushed through illegal aid cuts that might literally kill more people than the Holocaust.

everything needs more COLOR. stop making the world we interact with and observe everyday BORING

Several white supremacists were convicted of crimes related to Charlottesville, including Heather Heyer's murderer. A dozen were held civilly liable. To call this a "hoax" because an anti-hate watchdog had eyes on the organizers is delusional racist propaganda from the White House.

My latest. More thoughts on language, culture, and violence against women. We actually have a word for wife-killing. Why don't we use it?

fuuuuuuck

“We can't just give someone a self-help book,” says Plante. “We can't just give someone a block on a few apps, tell them to chain their iPhone to the wall, when really what they're looking for is to be propped up in a community of people." www.usatoday.com/story/life/h...

Revoking kids' visas because their parents criticized Elon Musk.

Genuine question as i don't see everything: are we getting any of the "what trump/republicans need to do to appeal to moderates/independents" pieces. I haven't seenq single one

Remembering Amal Khalil

We're not asking for the impossible, just a chance to live. Our children go to sleep in fear and wake up lacking the most basic necessities. There isn't enough water, not enough food, and no safety. Every donation, no matter how small, could save my family. - Sama’a 🤍 chuffed.org/project/157569

1K to raise in one day. Every donation helps. But if you are able, a weekly amount is even better. Then these families have some certain support. Together we can make that happen.

The fact that John Waters is, at 80, still vital and funny and just as forward-thinking as ever and no one will give him money to make a movie is proof this world is broken.

paying taxes is good! whole foods doesn't. you should steal from them.

the new postal truck is an extreme example, but the fundamental tradeoff between car exterior aesthetics and outward visibility is a very direct one... the black pill here is that a nonzero (though hard to calculate/estimate) number of Americans have literally died in the name of cars looking cool

the world is good & people are good & being alive is good. just my two cents.

ICYMI, people and organizations tied to Hungarian president Viktor Orban’s former regime have been deeply involved with NatCon, the Thiel-backed conference that elevated both JD Vance and Christian Nationalism in the US. I’ve been collecting receipts. 1/

If you have nice things to say about Camp of the Saints, you're a Nazi.

A “former Palantir executive recently confirmed what many have long suspected. In a public stmt, the whistleblower said it plainly: Palantir intended to take over the US government, & many of his former colleagues are now installed inside the federal apparatus. He called it an occupied nation.” 1/

is the app being weird again for anyone else

picky eater helped me make and then actually consumed a smoothie today. with spinach and flax seeds and everything. cannot let him sense my excitement.

i am 18 followers away from 5k and it's extremely embarrassing that i kind of want to hit that number

somehow the current "game" the kids are playing is one of them spraying everything with dawn power wash and the other following behind to wipe it with a damp paper towel. ok babes that's cool i'll allow it.

If alt-text isn’t too time consuming for Flavor Flav guess who else it isn’t too time consuming for 🫵🏾

enough. put it on a little stick again

what in the world

ahahahahah

why not me? why i can't have volcano dipper pizza? god is cruel

on the one hand this seems like a silly conversation to publish and not very well thought out, on the other hand it seems like an equally silly thing to be upset by. it's like publishing a conversation you overheard at a bar and it's also like getting mad at a conversation you overheard at a bar.

my kid would literally not eat if i didn't give him choices from his safe foods. he'd be hungry & miserable but wouldn't understand that eating the unwanted food would fix that, no matter how i explained it. he tries or at least tries to try just about everything but his pickiness isn't a choice.

Hello! I still badly need work in narrative design or game writing etc. I’ve been in games for 20 years and I’m responsible for the mobile smash hit Lily’s Garden.

The physical and emotional pain our government inflicted on this mother is unbearable. We must spend the rest of our lives repairing the damage done with our tax dollars. sahanjournal.com/immigration/...
