americans view 9/11 as a generation-defining national disaster; you have to understand that in many countries the generation-defining national disaster started as a line item in the State Department's budget

"bad for the earth" being printed on a cheap piece of plastic that will end up in a landfill after like, 2 years tops, is so fucking funny. can you at least not lie about giving a shit about conservation

it’s important to debunk misinformation re: water / electricity use &c but i don’t think you’re going to win hearts and minds with “well this construction project you were not consulted on will add 1% to the county bottom line…”

i don’t think we need to hand it to private firms trying to fast-track construction to make more money. data centers are useful but i’d rather resources were allocated via democratic processes as opposed to the whims of capital.

quote / screenshot dunking is the lowest form of post. arguably even lower than the actual dumb take being written your friends and followers like and trust you, and you make them read crap in order to, what, feel smug? that you're better than that crap? don't do it. wash your hands. spread light

One of the reasons public opinion on trans health care is where it is is because a lot of cis people will never ever believe just how corrupt the professional medical class running our health care really is.

Today is a rare day where Twitter has more useful information than this website on a very important issue, so let's collate some of the ongoing discussions. 🧵 Here are the words straight from the mouth of a student organizer who went from interning for Mamdani to protesting him on the streets:
Wow. A student organizer leading protests against Zohran Mamdani tonight reveals that she previously interned for him.

Now she’s leading chants against the very politician she once worked for, accusing him of prioritizing his own political advancement over the people and movements that helped bring him to power.

She delivers an ultimatum: The protests can stop when Mamdani stops the sale of stolen Palestinian land in NYC and abolishes the CUNY Board of Trustees, which advances Israel’s interests within the nation’s largest urban public university system.

But she makes clear that she doesn’t expect him to deliver. In her view, Mamdani has become just another politician who makes promises to movements and then fails to meet their demands once in office.

What makes her testimony particularly significant is that she isn’t someone who opposed Mamdani from the beginning. She worked for him. She believed enough in his political project to participate in it. Now she’s publicly confronting him.

Her speech speaks to a broader frustration among people who placed their hopes in electoral politics as a vehicle for advancing Palestinian liberation. For some, the experience hasn’t strengthened their faith in political institutions. It has deepened their distrust.

Probably preaching to the choir on bluesky but it really is an indictment of the entire American people and project that the most politically salient point against the Iran war isn't our rank imperialism or that we started it by bombing children, but that it's driving up gas prices

I would like to live in the world of this poem, in which every essay assignment is an opportunity to broaden one's horizons instead of a piece of tedious busywork assigned to meet some quota. It's important to write for the sheer joy of it instead of just offloading it to AI, but come on. Really?

the defining games story of the last decade is when the dead cells team got a bunch of positive press for being a workers co-op but then the game was a huge hit and so they made a private company for all the new employees to scale up into while the “co-op” remained about ten people large lol
