When dems regain power, they will need to learn to walk and chew bubble gum and, importantly, to also kick ass. And as far as I am concerned its okay if they run outta bubble gum.

What bothers me the most is how much these sorts of articles actually disparage and degrade the concept of being alive. Not even the most savage, purest materialist treats being alive with such disrespect.

People dunking on this like these folks are wrong or dumb or something but they got his policies & neighborhood right! Only missed on ethnicity & “to the right of” — two extremely made up concepts

Red States: We're cutting the humanities at our public universities to spend more money on right-wing indoctrination Blue States: We're cutting the same programs, but to spend more money on AI and the business school.

GOP senator from Kansas would like you to know Iran has a Right To Defend Itself. (& as such I presume a Right To Exist.) Bold statements.

Just had Canvas stop working as I was typing comments on a student paper. I now can’t access anyone’s work or grades. Strangely, this never happened back when I used a grade book and had students email me their papers, a system no shareholders extracted money from.

My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.

Fruit cart scene in AN ADVENTUROUS AUTOMOBILE TRIP (1905) directed by Georges Méliès. This is the earliest version of the chase movie staple that I have seen and it is enhanced by hand-colored oranges, courtesy of legendary film colorist Madame Thuillier's team.

We have many machines that can lift extremely heavy weights, and yet some humans choose to lift weights using only muscle power. Extremely confusing.

If you ever go visit Rome and go see the spot Caesar got got, it's a really great bonus that it's currently a sanctuary for feral cats like this one, who get to laze about in the crumbling remnants of a fallen empire. As we all do, these days. D7200. May, 2024.

That money could’ve ended homelessness in the US, or established UBI for every American, student loan erasure, or supercharged every creative industry in existence to pay artists better, instead of, yknow, blowing it on dead malls full of Elegy of Emptiness statues for rich people I hate it here

This right here. You could build a whole solidaristic political consciousness around being a "good neighbor." [It would of course have to resist reactionary Nextdoor / neighborhood watch / property value protection versions]

Netflix: "We don't want movies to even go into theaters because that reduces demand on our product." Also Netflix: "We demand that you treat our original films as amazing motion picture experiences worthy of being seen in a theater!" Gotta pick, dudes. Got. To. Pick.

I just received notification from University IT warning us about phishing attacks that “seem too good to be true” and I can’t stop thinking about the scammer last year who wanted us to enter our credentials to register for our 5% annual cost-of-living raise.
