Making civic engagement *fun* is an underrated tactic for getting people to do it.

Jan 6 must be fully & conclusively adjudicated in a court of law if this country is to ever move forward.

They can't just wish it away unless we let them.

Brazil outraged after US deportees arrive handcuffed, Colombia to refuse US deportation flights Brazil has reacted with outrage after 88 of its nationals arrived in their homeland handcuffed following their deportation from the United States.

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.

The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

Rep AOC: "republicans, who have voted consistently against the violence against women's act, who have taken the rights of all women to have control over their own body, who as women are bleeding out in parking lots, now want to pretend today that they care about women."

Where people live vs where they larp. We have always had to larp out of state because there are no reasonably priced camps in nw fl

"Deserve" is an unfillable cup, because it doesn't fix the problem. You will never hurt someone so much that it will heal you. The right wing is going to keep doing unimaginable damage.

Elon Musk: Why isn’t there enough water in California?

Grok (burning through an entire lake to generate an answer): Wokeness

Keith Wasserman: Does anyone have access to private firefighters to protect our home in Pacific Palisades? Need to act fast here. All neighbors houses burning. Will pay any amount. Thank you.

“Will pay any amount.”

Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

This letter in the New Statesman a couple of years ago seems even truer now.

i’m kind of amazed at how this is just the crudest, most obvious n****rbaiting you can imagine. “the people you don’t like, yeah, they are responsible for everything bad.” and it works!

the worst thing is even the consultation puts the burden on creators, because all the questions are like 'given generative AI is obviously BRILLIANT and anyone who wouldn't want to let LLMs eat their copyrighted material HATES THEIR COUNTRY, do you think what we're suggesting is good?'

Goldman Sachs asks in biotech research report: 'Is curing patients a sustainable business model?' Goldman Sachs warns sales from the most successful disease treatments are difficult to maintain.

Goldman Sachs analysts : The money men saying the quiet part out loud

Curing patients may not be a sufficiently profitable enterprise for biotech companies.

Chronic disease is a far more beneficial business model

No thanks, YouTube.

We are not seeing "class consciousness" from everyone who understands that it's dangerous to have necessary healthcare get denied. The overlap between people cheering for Luigi and people who voted for Trump is really significant. A deer is scared of a wolf but it doesn't understand ecology

Nothing to see here, folks. No special favors to anyone we know.

this is an active volcano erupting into space on jupiter’s moon io.

HOW CRAZY IS IT THAT WE CAN SEE THAT?

A lot of what some might call “handouts” is actually just effective resource management.

When vaccines and preventative medicines are covered, for example, hospitals end up under far less strain.

It’s a good system for everyone except people who might want to profit from the worst outcomes.

Everyone excited for the Revolution keep forgetting Trump is going to be in charge of the police and military in less than a month. People preaching that the culture war is a distraction from class war want to ignore that right wingers don't understand the difference

Every time I make a post like this, I should include a link to my CV at the bottom so people know that I'm aware of extremely basic movie facts.

THREAD: Since a lot of folks are noting that they found Mangione a lot faster than they found the J6 pipe bomber, I thought I'd remind everyone about a few crucial tidbits about the pipe bomber investigation. 1/

I actually didn’t know this. Or maybe knew it about each of them but didn’t put it together about all of them. I mean. Goddamn.

I’d like to report a murder.

Did you know that Elon and Trump want to start using the same AI claim denial process used by United Health at the Department of Veterans Affairs?

Just thought you might want to know.

No shit murder is bad. The jokes about the United CEO aren’t really about him; they’re about the rapacious healthcare system he personified and which Americans feel deep pain and humiliation about
