IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS. WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK. AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE. SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS. THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES. IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50

Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

"AI is a tool of fascism" really needs to start being one of the primary talking points

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

“don’t give them what they want”

they are manufacturing their justifications post-hoc. they are already doing what they want. you are not responsible for the actions of your oppressor. you are only responsible for keeping your neighbors safe and that will always be seen as defiance

If dem leaders actually opposed ICE they would already be doing so.

They oppose its aesthetics, not its principles.

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

Our short is finally out on YouTube . You can watch it here

I'm $80 from my weekly goal! I need to hit this halfway point before I can risk buying groceries. Even small amounts add up! Sharing helps a lot. Even if you can't help, someone who sees this might be able to. Appreciate y'all!

Holy hell, what an obituary

hank scorpio from the simpsons hitting his head like "why didn't I think about that"

DUTCH GUY ON BLUESKY THAT POSTS ABOUT AMERICAN POLITICS ≥ 3 TIMES A DAY: You Americans should be taking up armed struggle against your government.
MALCOM X'S GHOST IN HEAVEN:

Calling out a fascist for taking a hypocritical position is easy. It's also a complete waste of time. Fascist rhetoric is aesthetics— pathos, never logos.

You'll never get anywhere pointing out a fascist's hypocrisy. Fascism is not to be debated, it's to be smashed. Get comfortable using power.

How blissful it is to come from a culture (or class, or gender, etc) used to pointing the bayonet, and never know what it is to have the bayonets pointed at them.

But also utterly boring.

My biggest annoyance with "don't humanise monsters" is that it always, no exceptions, makes blander stories.

*gives everyone a quick chance to describe their characters, their strengths, etc in a diegetic way

My fav recent "alright, everyone introduce their characters," bit was when we started a new #Mothership campaign and I had the players (in media res) interview for a crew spot on a ship. Gives everyone a quick chance to describe their character, their strengths, etc

It's Thursday and I'm still at 0 for the week. At this rate, I'll be short on rent, and going into a new month in the negative without jobs is really scary. Please help if you can, please share. I hit 700 followers today and me begging for help rarely even gets like 5 notes.

GrapheneOS is great and I recommend it all the time for Android users who are concerned about spying by governments and law enforcement.

Haha! I'm glad you stuck with it. It changed my thoughts on consciousness and I'm always trying to infect others whenever possible.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

NPR today: for the first time in over 50 years we are now operating without any federal funding

Also NPR today: now for some uncritical coverage of the people who made it so that for the first time in over 50 years we are now operating without any federal funding

Why not cancel your subscriptions to the media conglomerates that are firing people and give that money directly to the people they're firing instead?

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

My contract was just terminated without any explanation or prior communication. Since January, I've written a lot of pieces I'm proud of for Collider. They're in this thread! I'd love to write about film and television for you. Show this to beloved editors. See replies to support me.
