In 2017, while our white liberal friends were buying the "economic anxiety" excuse for Trump voters, BIPOC folks knew better that it was racism. In 2024, legacy media pretended Trump supporters cared about the price of eggs, the price of gas, or inflation in general. We all knew it was the racism.

I am getting "others in the group chat are complicit," but I'm not getting "one of them should spoken up or done something," because, by definition, no one in that group chat is the kind of person who would. They're rapist or rape-approving frat bros. #cornell7

I'm thinking about all those videos that were going around a few months ago using grains of rice to show the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire. There are, in fact, differing levels of wealth, and sometimes numbers can help, but numbers can mean different things in different locales

There are a lot of things to admire about Glen Hansard. I don't think we need to live a little more like he did, though, considering he groomed a 12-year-old. Pick the good parts to emulate, and don't ignore the bad parts.

I've seen a couple of reactions to Platner along the lines of "but the Republicans get to elect rapists. Why can't we?" The fuck?!?!!! Also, how hard is it to find a male Dem candidate who hasn't raped someone? And if it is (really depressing), maybe we need more female Dem candidates. Just saying.

Interesting (and horrible) how Republicans take all nuance and genuine meaning out of words. "Fake news" goes from being a factually incorrect story to being a story they don't like. "Fraud" goes from being deceptive grifting (i.e., what Trump and Musk do) to any election result they don't like.

Even though at final count Bass will probably get a higher percentage of votes than Raman or Pratt, she should be embarrassed at how low her percentage is, given she's an incumbent. If she were doing a good job, she'd have gotten much closer to 50% if not over.

Yes, with no junior devs in the pipeline, you won't get senior devs in the future to review AI-generated code. But if AI gets really "good" at coding, it'll develop its own language that even legacy senior devs won't understand. If the billionaires get what they want, we're all Skynet-screwed.

One of the problems with copaganda is how it makes it seem as if you just report a crime to the police, the "justice" system believes you, finds the perp, convicts him, and sentences him accordingly. "Did you report it to the police?" isn't a gotcha for rape/sexual assault victims and survivors.

It'd be great if everyone going to a No Kings protest (and even those not going) canceled their subscriptions to the New York Times and Washington Post. I guarantee you there are a lot of these folks still subscribed. Take that money and put it to ProPublica and 404 Media. That would move the needle

Even the "let's hear both sides" supposedly "objective" legacy media can't manage to pretend "all lives matter" here. Only Al Jazeera mentions the hostages Israel was keeping. NBC and ABC care to humanize only the Israeli hostages. To them, Palestinians are only numbers, not humans. Disgusting.
