If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Hate to break this to everyone, but some of your favourite artists (directly or indirectly) are genocide apologists. Silence is complicity, and the decision makers at the top want to keep the status quo to maximize profits. Support the artists that are on the right side of history. #freepalestine

Has there ever been a more succinct five seconds in all of ABSOLUTE CINEMA. A more efficient usage of celluloid. Has anything respected the audience's time more than this. This conveys everything anyone needs to know about these people. Who they are. What they do. How they rank on power level scale.

American brains so broken by anticommunist propaganda that we will see two people in the same material conditions, with the same social impotence under the same wage labor hierarchy, and say “I don’t see any coal smudges on your face, clearly you are not a Workers. Now hurry up with that Latte.”

in case you're wondering, "what's the harm in claiming an extinct species has been brought back from the dead" when it most certainly has not, our interior secretary is already using it to justify taking animals off the endangered species list
The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is to work with others to “conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.”

The Department of the Interior is excited about the potential of “de-extinction” technology and how it may serve broader purposes beyond the recovery of lost species, including strengthening biodiversity protection efforts and helping endangered or at-risk species.

The Endangered Species List has become like the Hotel California: once a species enters, they never leave. In fact, 97 percent of species that are added to the endangered list remain there. This is because the status quo is focused on regulation more than innovation.

It’s time to fundamentally change how we think about species conservation. Going forward, we must celebrate removals from the endangered list - not additions. The only thing we’d like to see go extinct is the need for an endangered species list to exist. We need to continue improving recovery efforts to make that a reality, and the marvel of “de-extinction” technology can help forge a future where populations are never at risk.

Since the dawn of our nation, it has been innovation – not regulation – that has spawned American greatness. The revival of the Dire Wolf heralds the advent of a thrilling new era of scientific wonder, showcasing how the concept of “de-extinction” can serve as a bedrock for modern species conservation.

The Dire Wolf revival carries profound cultural significance as it embodies strength and courage that is deeply encoded within the DNA of American identity and tribal heritage.

Breakthroughs of this nature will inspire leading minds and future generations of innovators to chase the impossible, capture it, and unleash its potential!

The Department of the Interior looks forward to a vibrant future full of innovation that advances core missions such as wildlife conservation.

i have learned that way too many americans see the concept of 'freedom' simply as the potential to be rich and privileged, even if they aren't, & not things like freedom from dying from a preventable illness if you're poor, or being imprisoned for minor crimes, or persecuted by the police, etc

nearly every change made to american public schooling in decades has been to produce uneducated, fearful citizens without critical thinking skills or awareness of the world other than america. there's a reason the "my kid went to college and came back a LIBERAL" is such a stereotype

these are the names of young Black men who were "found dead" after the Ferguson uprising following the murder of Michael Brown in 2014. Edward Crawford Jr. is in the famous image below. his death was ruled a suicide. our gov't is not new to silencing activists. the least we can do is remember them.
photo of a young Black man in a US flag shirt throwing a can of tear gas that is burning and sprouting gas in his hand. he has stated in interviews he was throwing it not at the police but away from children who were in the vicinity.
