Fitbit said I needed 200 more steps this hour. So I used those steps to go to the kitchen and get a slice of cake. This fitness stuff is easy. 😉

Capitalism must eventually turn cannibalistic. When there are no new markets to open, when it's raised prices as high as it can and cut costs as far as possible, capitalism must feed on itself to satiate its greed. That's what private equity is. It's capitalism starting to eat itself.

One of the biggest myths about socialism is that “the government owns everything.” In reality, socialism draws a clear line between personal property and social ownership of essential resources. Your home, car, and belongings? Still yours. I break it down here: share.google/dtalMuZcDgXk...

Who Owns Property in Socialism? — Jeffrey Stamberger

Hi gardening peeps. This little plant was growing in a poblano pepper I got from our local nursery, so I planted it, thinking it might be another pepper variety. Google says it is nightshade. If it is, does it need to be pulled immediately?

Natural resources belong to all of us, yet under capitalism, the profits from oil, timber, minerals, and other public resources often end up concentrated in private hands. What if that wealth was shared instead?

As a Mets fan, I want Philly to win tonight so the Braves won't be so far ahead in the NL East. But I also want Philly to lose. And that's because I'm a Mets fan. 😉

My partner made me a Mets voodoo doll. I've been spending all day pampering him. He enjoyed a soothing tea on the balcony, watched the 86 Mets to see what winning looks like, and got to know the rest of the gang. Hopefully, he helps us break this nasty streak. Let's Go Mets 💙🧡💙

Real conversation I just had. Me: Why haven't you killed me yet? Her: I've been putting a little bit of poison in your food every night. Me: That's literally how you become immune to poison. You need to give me all of it at once. Her: Nice try. You aren't going to Romeo yourself out of this one.

Ok @mlb.com How are you going to advertise the Mets game as the free game of the day and then not actually have any broadcasts of the game?

I dig into how socialism weighs what we individually own (your books, your house, your tools) vs. what’s owned to extract profit (factories, massive rental portfolios) – and why that distinction matters for a more just and democratic world. jeffreystamberger.com/writing/pers...

Classic movie day, but we skip the bad/sad parts. Wizard of Oz, but after she lands in Munchkin Land. Willy Wonka, but after all the depressing Cheer Up, Charlie stuff. Sound of Music without all the knot-z's. Star Wars Episode 1, but fast-forward past the pod racing. What else should we add?
