Parody of an advertisement for prescription medication, in black on white. Headline: "Feeling Sad and Depressed?" At left, a photo of a man in medical scrubs, jotting notes on a pad. Subheads: "Are you anxious? Worried about the future? Feeling isolated and alone?" Headline-size type: "You might be suffering from CAPITALISM"

The more combative Dems get, the more of this they will run into. It will be a coordinated wave of elite opinion, scolding them, tamping them down. The fight strategy *only* works if they are willing to bull their way through it, blow it off, mock it. (Their history does not raise one's hopes.)

You cannot leave prison without a documented place to stay, a job or rehabilitation program lined up, and someone to come and pick you up. There was one woman we met who was there for 2 EXTRA years at the state prison cause she had no living family and simply couldnt get a ride

If nothing else, just read the opening paragraphs of the new @vevalenz.bsky.social piece. This sort of casual cruelty, and worse, is so common in U.S. jails/prisons that to most it barely registers as scandalous—but it is, and this reporting really matters: boltsmag.org/california-p...

At a former job, we had a friendly competition developing concepts for an ad campaign. My partner and I came up with two concepts, one of which was CLEARLY superior. We won…but for the other concept. My boss said to me, “I’ve never seen someone so mad about winning.”

The Democratic Party knocked on my door today to make sure I was gonna vote and they specifically said, “you’ll vote for Senator Ossoff and a straight Dem ticket?” And wisely made no mention of Keisha lol

Another reason to love it: Ossoff has won endorsements from some Republican leaders in the state for the work he’s done for their communities—yet he feels no need to soften his tone or try to “appeal to the center.” He knows the truth and good work will win.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...
