I want you all to understand that every time a politician calls for a release of the hostages and does not mention the MANY Palestinian hostages in Israel, they are making it clear they only value some lives — those adjacent to power, those it is politically safe to defend.

Hard to argue with that.

People travel with so much stuff. Watching all these boomers in the airport with huge luggage for a one week cruise. Goodness gracious. I did 5 weeks in Africa with one carry-on. What are these people packing?

That after a torrid bromance, Donald Trump and Elon Musk would have an acrimonious public breakup, was as predictable as the sun rising in the east.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Has anyone ever thought to make a new version of Betrayal at the house on the hill, but retheme it with Congress instead.

Wait, how do you cook without cutting ingredients?

Missed you and wondering where you went. Glad you’re back now.

I once thought it had to be really hard for Christians to deal with the complete hypocrisy they exude. Then I realised it’s like in severance. Their brains are partitioned so their weekend Jesus bits never have to interact with their racist, capitalist, xenophobic bit.

A compulsive liar, a Russian agent and an idiot walk into a bar. The barman says "Good evening Mr Trump"

I see no problem with this approach.

The She Made Him Do It Theory of Everything The rhetoric and logic of the abuse of power operates similarly at all scales, which is why I've found feminism such useful equipment for understanding authoritarians in public and political life. Bec...

Rebecca Solnit on the excuses used by fascists…

You know any good writer can write about regulations and anarchy/ liberal ideas from these two pillars.

Since it looks like you have a newer model iPhone have you ever tried taking spacial vids or pictures to share?

Is there a direct RSS link for your podcast? I use a third party podcast app and I couldn’t find it, but I can manually add by URL.

I have started having to take melatonin at night. Otherwise I wasn’t falling asleep from all the dread.

Somehow I got generational trauma instead of generational wealth. Where can I re-roll my starting stats?

Take a look at their bike infrastructure and come back with a plan to implement it in MN. We can build a great bike share program and import their bikes left and right. Just build the infrastructure.

I have been trying to remove Facebook from my life. I have never had a Facebook account, but I have been stuck using WhatsApp. I want to ditch it, but people refuse to move to signal, because everyone uses WhatsApp.

Yeah. Same here.

Which version. There were a few as o recall.

The Kingdom of God is freedom and the absence of such power... the Kingdom of God is anarchy.

@brianzahnd.bsky.social I was recently reading something that reminded me of one of the chapters in your book Wood between the worlds. Alfredo Bonanno said «the concept of innocence and guilt is not an objective fact but is a measure imposed by the class struggle.»

Two neighborhoods built in the same year but in different countries.

(Weesp, NE & Edmond, OK)

The use of AI in tech companies should concern many tech workers. As a principle engineer I now spend way more time explaining to managers and directors why whatever bullshit idea AI came up with will not work. «But chatGPT said this fits this security framework» is not a reasonable answer.
