Sometimes i think about how, in the late 90s, USPS was moving to set up a secure email address for every US resident and how congress prevented it.

we should bring back the idea that you can go and see a film for adults and get a looney tunes short or something similar playing beforehand

"you're a crazy conspiracy nut for saying speed cameras might make it possible to track the movements of law abiding citizens but also you shouldn't care even if they can do that because your cell phone can read your mind and tell the govt your thoughts before you even think them"

Next time someone tries to tell you that Roman slavery was different or better than other forms of slavery, tell them to listen to last week’s episode of @thisguysucked.com and/or buy Emma’s book.

A french anatomy book trying to illustrate how horses bones are similar to ours.

it's kinda dope that EY, this big-ass "professional services" organization, has unironically not yet figured out how to enable employees to have their paychecks directly deposited into more than one bank account at a time. my previous, rinky-dink job executed this effortlessly. fascinating

so the takeaway here is that iran's domestic politics are more important to public perception than america's domestic politics which means trump lost this war even harder

lol my EY internship starts tomorrow and i feel a lot more confident that i can get a job w/them by acting somewhat professional because my appointed "peer buddy" who works there doesn't seem to understand basic tenets of professionalism like "answering phone calls at the agreed-upon time w/interns"

kinda hoping that nithya raman can make the runoff, as well as steyer. i'm tired of california letting me down with its milquetoast centrist politics. i wish we were as left wing as republican freaks say we were

talk with a trans woman long enough and eventually she'll offhandedly mention the time she cured cancer and will be embarrassed that you're impressed

i think my favourite part about being a trans woman is how much of an impact we have on culture. a friend reminded me today about a popular meme format she created. another friend today casually told me about how she was the most notorious roblox hacker when she was a child. just a day in the life!

Takeout/delivery and cooking your own food are both wrong. Instead you should be extracting atmospheric dust, nutrients, and moisture using specialized microscopic hairs called trichomes.

have to admit it is quite funny that Donald Trump, the Republican Party president, has kicked the green energy transition into overdrive with a de facto ~$100 a ton carbon tax. getting a little chuckle out of that

JD Vance admitting on live TV that the U.S. can also engage in "economic terrorism" is something i don't think i ever anticipated any american official, other than trump, being stupid enough to say out loud. you're supposed to pretend america is a force for good man

the biggest disconnect between most people and government is that they don’t feel like government is doing anything useful for them bridging this divide is as difficult as it’s ever been in the age of fractured social media, but I genuinely do not think anyone is doing it better than Zohran

this sorta reminds me of the 2016 republican presidential primaries in that trump was not necessarily unstoppable but was bolstered in large part by his numerous opponents refusing to drop out of the race until it was way too late. let's hope this doesn't happen here lol

i think it's really funny to be worried about getting drafted into the iran war if you're an american because this country very likely does not have the state capacity to induct hundreds of thousands of people in the military, and it certainly doesn't have the political will for that either lol

if there's one conclusion that the study of both labor history and imperialism converge on, it is that the richest people in the world are happy to burn money on control, power, impunity. and the "everything is about profit" version of anti-capitalism does not survive serious contact with either

people forget that it actually took a long time for twitter to become a fun place. founded in 2006. really only got usable in like 2014 or 2015 or whatever, then got really good in 2017 when the 280-character limit implemented. then elon musk happened. blue sky still has a lot of time to develop

I do agree that Bluesky is not what Twitter used to be, but even a decade ago Twitter was (1) not even close to the most used social platform (2) mostly influential because journalists and politicians were addicted to it

would've been really funny if they went with the originally proposed punishment of execution by the state. that was a genuine possibility. but this is better. also we should have that here for insurrectionists

what exactly goes through the minds of ordinary reactionaries when they condemn the late jesse jackson as a "race-baiter" after seeing people like trump, vance, and others sing his praises? i'm sure a lot of it is just ignored but that's gotta be baffling to some of them right

online arguments aren’t about convincing the other party. they’re about establishing a psychosexual dominance over them that will burden them every time they see your posts from that point forward.
