Strongly recommending this video which proposes an explanation for, among other things: what's in the bunker and how it connects to the lake; why the Holidays have a fridge full of bottled water; and what Rudy's illness is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySoE...

Were it not for the fact that bsky doesn't curate people's feeds I would suspect the timing of this whole Discourse was a deliberate ploy to paralyze, or numb, or terrify into inaction the people who would normally be fighting the hardest

People are shellshocked and getting retraumatized and feeling alone and scared at a time when there's organizing to be done ahead of an election. Victims speaking out want to know they can count on solidarity and I'm not sure they're getting that guarantee

This past week is a contender for the least fun bsky has ever been, including when DHS was terrorizing Minneapolis and when Elon Musk was in charge of the presidency for like 3 months

The problem is social democrats and other such reformists in the US have been calling themselves "democratic socialists" Essentially embracing the liberal framing of actual revolutionary socialism as somehow undemocratic

I'm real tired of all these "democratic socialist" politicians and candidates in this country who, when asked what socialism means, demonstrate that they're not actually socialists.

This whole discourse has begun triggering my fight-or-flight and I know survivors are getting retraumatized trying to explain the obvious to the oblivious. Energy needs to be spent elsewhere after some rest bsky.app/profile/disc...

After taking care of ourselves, we should be talking/thinking about, for example, how to pressure politicians up for reelection next month while this is on people's minds. Or how to put pressure on our shitty sexist bosses, pushing union leaders to stomp out harassment from shitty coworkers

There are diminishing returns to participating in/reading online discourse, sans actual activism. After a point it becomes doomscrolling/self-harm.

Like if this had happened ten years ago (hint: it did) survivors and allies would have been taking to the streets, rallying in town squares and university campuses, talking to fellow workers/union siblings. As cringe and as lib as the pussy hat wearers were, they actually fucking marched.

I might take this advice and temporarily mute some proper nouns, my feed has been discussing this nonstop for like 3 days and it is exhausting seeing people try to litigate what justice looks like without any roadmap for actual organizing/movement building

Seto Kaiba plays the "overthrowing the empire will kill millions" card, but Yugi smirks and reveals his response card: "The empire already kills millions to sustain itself." Seto is blasted by the revelation and is defeated

Extremely sus, my baseline assumption is this is a Democratic Party/local bourgeois op to effectively purge Green Rainbow and left independent candidates like Andrea James from general election ballots. Adopting the same "jungle primary" system that knocked Kshama Sawant out of an election in WA

Can we please dispense with the "this is not America/who we are" nonsense. This isn't the idyllic America advertised to us as children, not the nonexistent democratic version which is more aspirational than anything. But this is the real, mask-off America

I've seen some baffling responses to Me Too along the lines of "if they don't want to deal with sexual harassment/assault they shouldn't work in Hollywood, they're choosing this by seeking work there". Effectively saying women who want careers are whores for having ever begrudgingly tolerated this

We still have anti-trust laws on the books but the federal government is so thoroughly controlled by the exact corporations violating them it rarely enforces them anymore. The Venn Diagram between too-big-to-fail and too-big-to-jail is almost a circle

And watch this educational 1990s SNL sketch about the effects of monopolization on the media industry. The names were different and there was *more* competition at the time, and it was dire even then. Things have only gotten worse www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh6H...

Kids sure as shit aren't getting anything like Steven Universe this decade (as lib as that show was, it was still Too Gay apparently, even under a layer of subtext). Showrunners lucky enough to realize their visions on TV will be allowed to take even fewer creative risks

I'd expect media under this umbrella to be sanitized in much the same fashion Disney films have been. Removing all remaining traces of 2010s-era Woke, snuffing out any would-be Linda Ellerbees who might have otherwise gotten away with explaining things like Palestine accurately to kids

On top of the political implications, Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon being under the same corporate umbrella feels deeply wrong to me. It'd be like if Coca-Cola and PepsiCo merged

I'm not fully convinced he's even playing the "I want myself and my party to get reelected" game. Trump and his ilk seem to have at least 2/3 of their eggs in the "let's slough off the last remaining pretenses of democracy" basket

FWIW I'm clearly using a different lens here, one in which other more mundane harms (social murder, bombing foreign schools/hospitals) are seen as normal and unremarkable in a healthy society but that I as a Marxist think of as barbarous, pathological, the type of shit you build guillotines for

Capital is a vampire...sent to drain labor @discchoco.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

And I get the sense many victims would feel hollow during and afterward. Like Soviet soldiers joylessly mowing down Nazis because it had to be done to stop future harm, not because it healed anyone

Like if we're going to burn offenders in effigies the implication is this entire motherfucker needs to burn to the ground and a rape-free society to be built atop its ruins afterward. If that's where we're going, scapegoats won't be enough. I dunno whether people have the stomach for that yet

I appreciate you highlighting that as a social phenomenon sexual abuse/assault is pandemic or like an "original sin"
