Most surreal moment being when Bolsonaro père—banned from appearing on campaign trail—nevertheless appeared as an AI avatar endorsing his son.

accurate as per a McKinsey report from June: "The US grocery sector grew in 2025, but growth was not volume-led. ... The market grew in dollars, but shoppers bought fewer units. ... Food remains expensive for households, and consumers continue to actively manage their spending."

I've heard a couple times recently that grocery stores, at least in the US, are starting to notice people are buying less food because they don't have enough money.

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

I think it's pretty clear by now that there is nowhere near a majority of voters, anywhere, who inherently see far-right authoritarianism as extrinsic to the success or survival of democratic systems.

The religious right is steadily expanding its definition of what is sexual — and restricting what it deems acceptable in public spaces. Tech companies, in want of less oversight, are taking the hint. The deplatforming that started with sex workers / kink / trans has come for gay bars.

…public perception and consensus. It’s no longer an issue of indivuals being smart or dumb: it is a matter of how society is shaped by the larger forces that influences people without them being fully aware. To use the metaphor: the right wing reshapes the River’s course, through steady projects…

The result is, seeking cooperation with right wing interests, even in supposedly shared, common goals, results in the right consolidating power over time: social, economic, communicative, political. This enables a snowball effect where the right can shape narrative at mass scale and reshape…

The heavy rightward shift comes about because right wing systems trend toward, despite claims of “freedom,” power coelescence: stridently hierarchical, near fetishistic levels of property hoarding, expansionist in nature to grow holdings, right wing systems are poised to accumulate power.

MIB had a brief introduction to the paradox at play: people are smart at an individual level, but this behavior changes at scale. This is thanks to the influence of various systemic factors at the societal level that guide behavior through various means.

It’s still possible for nearly all public figures to stand against Trumpism without facing arrest or violence. To the degree that powerful individuals may be at risk, this is still the optimal time to come forward, because that risk will only increase if Trumpism isn’t stopped now.

goooood morning it is foggy af and a bit cool outside, and we made our rounds in an uneventful fashion - but we shared our snacks with crows, crunched through some leaves, and discovered a zillion mushrooms so yes, as always: Lucy Loved That Walk

Big fluffy black and tan husky mix with bright blue eyes and a smile; behind her is a foggy street lined with trees that are turning orange and yellow.

Same dog, same place - now opening wide to snatch a snack of poptart crust out of the sky. Yes, she caught it.

I do understand there are more uses than this. It’s just funny that every AI agent video is like, “All you have to do is give a bot all of your personal, banking, and medical information and soon you too will know when your kids have a little league game!” Sure, sounds great.
