not saying anything groundbreaking here, but I really think "politics as a form of content to be served up and consumed like all other forms of content" has been an enormous, underrated disaster in terms of giving folks the illusion of being informed while essentially being gamed like a drug addict

Some really big, and what many ppl would call important, voices in here that doubled down on despair, doom and division, became abusive—even detracting from the democratic process Can’t bring myself to follow them again on here

Ok so when I see a post trying to quote but instead the box says “BLOCKED” does that mean the OP blocked the quote post, the quote poster, me, or is it a case of someone I’ve blocked?

There are these two little Mexicans living in this house and the littlest one just ate a tamal de pollo en chile verde—and it’s spicy. He asked for more. Practically ate the whole thing! He’s not even 2!!! Both these kids love real food Lucky to live within walking distance of amazing eats

So proud of T. He played “Nobody Knows the Troube I’ve Seen” accompanied by his piano teacher. It was so expressive and fluid. He did a great job. And so did his teacher. It was a really moving arrangement and they played well together.

Super loathe conspiracy theorists and theories on the left 1) left had a huge exploitable blind spot for this and it is still happening 2) unable to acknowledge Fuckery right before their eyes; we are expected to now believe in the irrational? 3 ufo/alien talk is serious deus ex machina fantasy

I have to have a weird discussion with my wire supplier Last time round we didn’t feel any effects from the Covid shortages until the very end when logistics were catching up along with the rise in employment, delays were minimal I have to ask about post tariff pricing—some nickel gets imported

Really need that one acct to lay off cheerleading detention/deportations If you find yourself wishing pain on people, you’ve completed the circle and the Op was successful And when they ask—again—how did they send people to the gas chambers? You’re not good people

I’m not wishing anyone get deported I’m not reveling in that The first victims and most of the victims will be innocents—not voters And ultimately those of us who are citizens, born and naturalized, will also be victims—just like in the 30s and 50s It’s cruel, not edgy at all.

If nothing at its base one overarching thing that is happening across spectrums and spaces … is people are not listening They are not looking at other people as people Everyone feels righteous in being transactional or punitive For MOST people it’ll stop but again remember term one

This is why I fail as being a counselor because frankly people don’t want to feel anxiety , shame, sorrow etc And like You should You should feel bad . You should reconsider You made deals and choices to position yourself at the expense and harm to others You SHOULD feel that
