Once again. Just like the Paramount Merger Gavin Newsom does what he always does. Sells out the working class people for the billionaires again and again. Not only that but endorses a bill that will make it impossible to tax the wealthy at all. www.commondreams.org/news/newsom-...

Newsom Endorses Ballot Measure That Would Cancel Out Billionaire Tax—and Ban Future Wealth Taxes | Common Dreams
"He’d rather millions of children and families lose their healthcare than ask a couple hundred billionaires to finally pay their fair share."

Genuinely I want you to imagine this involved any other minority group. If there was a candidate saying we need to compromise on the fact that African immigrants have low IQs like the Neo Nazis say would that person be universally condemned by the greater party?

Every single senator has killed more people than any random guy from your city doing 25 to life, they just get to do it in a way we have all agreed makes it not real for some reason. We're governed by serial killers!! www.welcometohellworld.com/the-rube-gol...
No matter what you say about a senator, no matter how rude it is, it will never match the violence they very calmly and cordially enact on millions of people as a matter of course. Sinema’s goofy thumbs down was a distraction, but it’s not really the salient issue here. It’s her and her colleagues' indifference to so many of our lives.

Every single senator has killed more people than any random guy from your city doing 25 to life, they just get to do it in a way we have all agreed makes it not real for some reason. We're governed by serial killers!!

Here’s an honest question: Who do you think has been the cause of more deaths, Joe Manchin, or Ted Bundy?

Don't forget you can get many PC games on GOG. No DRM & you can save games to SD cards or flash drives or even disks if you want (& unlike games you buy at the store, you can save the patched version, instead of archiving buggy version 1.0). It is still possible to both buy & own many games on PC!

Pen drawing of a landscape in silhouette, rising out of water with a large, pinkish-red sun dominating the horizon. On this landscape there are towers with a white light shining at the top with torii like gates nearby at a scale of multi-story buildings. There is vegetation around them and the scene flows to the left with several humanoid figures dwarfed by a large, multi-eyed and tentacled Eldrich being looking down at them.

A tree is not merely wood; it is a natural air conditioner, a source of oxygen, a support for rainfall, and a sanctuary for birds. It is a safeguard for our future. When we cut down trees, we lose more than just greenery; we invite heat, drought, pollution, and suffering. 🌳 Save trees. Save lives.

Autistic Burnout isn’t just “too much work.” It’s masking. Pain. Shame. Trying to care for everyone while no one cares for you. It’s rejection sensitivity, executive dysfunction, chronic illness, trauma. And still being told you’re “high functioning.” No wonder we break.

I'm continually impressed at how motornormativity causes people to create a revisionist history of American cities where they sprouted up fully formed and filled with cars and parking spots. Motornormativity also causes these people to ignore the many places that have reversed car dependency.

cars are a huge part of it - car centric urban and suburban design where there's no public places where people just hang out together across generations and social class, everyone just sits in their car, separate from their surroundings, driving between home, work, school, and places to spend money.

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.
Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010
