I appreciate your extremely accurate description of these images, Mr. Green.

Genuine question, at what point is the use of force in self-defence against the gestapo justified? Because we're at the concentration camps and secret police phase.

Jordan Peterson comes on Jubilee:
Here's 20 mostly friendly college students who will debate the merits of faith.

Mehdi Hasan comes on Jubilee:
Here's 20 neo nazis that don't think you should exist.

(oh and we're not telling you beforehand that they're nazis)

The gestapo shouldn't feel safe, regular people should.

My favourite is from Cheap Trick ->

"The WACS recruited old maid for the war
But mommy wasn't one of those
I've known her all these years"

Clearly that last line is something like "I knew she was a whore.."

Anything but spending money on actual veteran care or services. That would be too much like *helping people*

fuckin' 84 hours per week? Holy shit, even the employees are being treated like slave labour

I don't have enough crayons to explain to Joe that *the message* is economic policies that help people who have less money than him. "Moderate" dems don't give a shit about those people and are afraid of those policies.

Book reviewers: DO NOT US AI FOR YOUR REVIEWS!!! Amazon is deleting reviews and your Amazon account, but even worse AMAZON IS REMOVING AUTHORS ACCOUNTS DUE TO AI REVIEWS. They can no longer sell books. STOP IT. NOW! GO DELETE YOUR AI REVIEWS and stop doing this. I have 2 authors trying to get their accounts back! By using AI it is interfering with these authors selling books. Their income, their life. Please be aware!!!

I’m sorry, what? What?? On every level - WHAT???

Who is doing this? Why? Why would you do this???

I hate gen AI. I hate every single thing about it.

You show this to you boss, who seems to think somehow the "populist right" is going to change their minds and pressure donny?

Multi-Level marketing schemes and venture capital

It turns out that as loudly as they bitch, billionaires *really* love living in big metropolitain cities that have culture and art and educated people.

In NYC that's actually possible. It has the highest concentration of billionaires in the world. Bank CEOs, Hedge Fund CEOs, etc.

Just admitting that a handful of rich guys are gonna try to buy it lol

Do not rank Cuomo.

Let us not submit to the vile doctrine of the nineteenth century that every enterprise must justify itself in pounds, shillings and pence of cash income … Why should we not add in every substantial city the dignity of an ancient university or a European capital … an ample theater, a concert hall, a dance hall, a gallery, cafes, and so forth. Assuredly we can afford this and so much more. Anything we can actually do, we can afford… We are immeasurably richer than our predecessors. Is it not evident that some sophistry, some fallacy, governs our collective action if we are forced to be so much meaner than they in the embellishments of life? …

Posting this extract from a lecture by John Maynard Keynes, speaking on the BBC in the middle of the Second World War, to every Labour cabinet minister

It is an unmitigated racket, because the airport corps can charge effectively unlimited rent for space, and there are huge security costs. And it's a captive market. Bastardos.

Funny, one of the few things I like about winter is darkness at 3pm :D

So I'm absolutely on the opposite end of the seasonal-enjoying spectrum (summer good, winter shit) but I fully support your level of spite.

a friend of mine who has played in cover bands for years *hates* this song.

I am trying to write a 45 minute version which we will tie him down and force him to listen to. Just sharing the madness.

Very cool that an 87 year old congresswoman whose colleagues know she’s senile is going to run for reelection

If Fuji-san's innards are full of soup... and he is a volcano... that means Big Geology lied to us when they told us not to eat the magma!

‘It’s so boring’: Gen Z parents don’t like reading to their kids - and educators are worried Screen time has increasingly replaced story time, and experts warn this could lead to children falling behind

I am begging everyone to please try reading. It's good, actually. Great, even.

Cenk having valid criticism of the media/dems while being shit in regards to all his "I am the left" stuff *is* a nuanced position. The heck are you on about?

I just like non-algorythmic social media

So Cenk isn't wrong about his criticism of the dem's current
feckless strategy, and I think it's useful to acknowledge that. He's wrong about other stuff (especially the "max left crap"), but not everything, and the nuance is important.

On Allyship Why I don't call myself an "ally"

Pride month has started, so he's a repost of my thoughts on Allyship

So true story, often times obituaries, while the subject matter is sad, are kind upbeat. They are generally celebrations of the person's life, which if someone is looking for positive stuff, might be upbeat enough.
