(in the family group chat): that wont matter. without radical change all of this is meaningless in fifteen years. we have no idea how dire things are (in the communist group chat): they should make a turn based final fantasy again with the two minute summon animations

“Ok but if I cured cancer or had some world changing idea don’t I deserve to be rich” Your “personal” ideas result from the world you live in, collective labor and accumulated social knowledge. Any idea you have can only be implemented through the labor and ideas of others.

found a whole operation of unmanned youtube channels making completely unchecked long form slop videos where the ai voice simulacra regularly trips up & does this for a full ten minutes every time. all the very legit comments are like "NO! THATS NOT TRUE! YOU LIE HE DID NOT" & never acknowledge it.

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

It's weird - but now in Oslo, there's so many EVs that you notice the noise and the smell from individual ICE cars, and you realise how much we've been normalising it for ever. You can smell them half a street away. And inside parking lots are just *quiet*.

on my bus commute today: - a security guard smoking a blunt - a man extremely engaged in conversation with chatgpt about how many people have sex vs. how many people watch porn - a young woman carrying a mug with a single frozen banana (straight out of the freezer, peel on, black, freezer burnt)

some people seem to think that "being an artist" is an achievable milestone that you can speedrun by using the computer, which is a really boring way to think of life and your own human abilities. it's like saying you've visited a country but you were on a 3 hour layover and never left the airport

conservatives love to talk big game about personal freedoms and fighting government tyranny, then immediately propose outlawing personal expression. sad, small-minded bootlickers www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/03/gop-...

GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation
The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

your groceries are about to get so much more expensive, and it’s all because the richest men in the country would rather drive everyone further into poverty than give up even a drop of their power. this is going to take decades to undo.

Just look at how we view hoodies. On Mark Zuckerberg, the hoodie is a symbol of whiz kid meritocracy breaking norms and developing the New Economy. On people like Trayvon Martin, the hoodie is sometimes seen as proof of criminality. Again, it's about the bodies beneath the clothes.
Mark Zuckerberg in a hoodie. Trayvon Martin in a hoodie.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

Cutting NOAA is not about "saving taxes" or "efficiency". It's about crippling a government service, which causes the service to fail, which causes the service to get canceled. Then a small private sector group drains more milk from the People for a lesser service.

It's more than access to our data. It's a dismantling of our government by a coup. I did NOT receive my Social Security check today as scheduled. My payment was "Suspended" (in red text). fElon Musk and his operatives have already tampered with the system. They need to be arrested NOW.
