No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

I don’t remember whose insight this is, but it blew my mind when I first read that to understand American history you have to get that race law was designed to increase the number of enslavable people (one-drop rule) and decrease the number of claimants to indigenous land (blood quantum)
Jamelle Bouie writes: yeah this is a separate conversation but one of the things that hasn’t quite bubbled up from scholarship into mainstream thinking is that american slavery was a system centered principally on reproduction. forced birth for capital accumulation is what it was

Russ Vought — the Project 2025 architect — is rewriting an OMB rule to seize control of $1T+ in federal grants: roads, hospitals, fire departments, food banks, elections. By law, public comments must be read & answered. Yours matters.

The food already exists- it's on the trees right now- it's just *not profitable* to feed people with it. Tl;dr cannery closes so gov't decided paying to cut down all the trees to grow something else is the best option. I'd rather co-op that instead of Spirit. Source: The Independent

53 years ago today, the last U.S. combat troops left South Vietnam, ending America’s direct role in the Vietnam War. I remember seeing this anti-war PSA back then. Its message is sadly still very relevant today as Trump drags us into another unpopular war.

One of the best ways to cripple Russia’s ambitions longterm would be to moonshot renewables development then spread the tech everywhere super-cheap. Russia produces nothing of significance beyond oil and gas. The economy would tank. Plus a huge win in the fight against the climate crisis.

Don’t need a permit to march on sidewalks- don’t obstruct car or pedestrian traffic. The First Amendment protects your actions. Lawfully in a public space? Photo anything in plain view, including the police. Don't argue, resist, or obstruct the police, even if they are violating your rights.
