This is funny bc they failed, but also awful, in that it shows so clearly how low they'll go to grab anyone they can to meet Miller's quotas. It's a nightmare.

Same. TikTok never reached me for this reason.

I’m a subscriber, but this one isn’t behind a paywall.

Woah. Are they just really afraid of being wrong?

Oh wow! Awesome!

I haven't been keeping up with WOW. What is this? Some sort of character class trade?

We've switched to only buying places that self test. Which. You know. Isn't great.

If we introduced them to the West Coast I'm guessing they would not survive?

Ah that's too bad. Good to know though; I trust your opinion because it is hard fought.

So ironic

Masking as in autism?

This is a thought I’ve had about the right’s various efforts to push women out of the workforce—with abortion bans, childcare cuts, tradwife agitprop, etc. How much of it is because they think AI will let them drastically reduce the workforce, and they want an ideological rationale for doing so?

For real though, why do I have to share a country with a holes like this

Most Americans don't earn enough to afford basic costs of living, analysis finds The bottom 60% of U.S. households don't make enough money to afford a "minimal quality of life," according to a new analysis.

It's worse than you think.

You have insightful posts with an international perspective I haven't found anywhere else! If you share a news article I know it's worth reading. Same if you rec a book or RPG.

OMG thank you so much!!!

Ohhhh :(

Do you happen to have a link to project 2025? I remember reading it but I didn't save it. Now my mom wants to read it.

I don't see it as too different from the way Disneyland and Disneyworld are run.

Tbh SpaceX would probably fare better if Musk were in jail

Adding it to my list!

What's up?

Peach Arthritis sounds punk af

Courts in California have massive security. You wouldn't be able to get in with cuffs and masked faces. *Someone* must have checked their ID.

Wow uhh that's messed up in the head.

Hahaha! I think about this all the time now.

My therapist tells me that twenty of every hundred of us humans have some kind of empathy impairment (narcissist or etc.) It's a lot :(

Democracy lives in my heart.

Case in point, Gavin Newsom. GET RID. Bye!

The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas Political Spectrum LEFT -the ones who believe Omelas should be burned to the ground in the name of the child -the ones who walk away from Omelas -the ones who stay but work to liberate the child -the ones who try to draw attention and support for the liberation of the child LIBERAL -the ones who hope to minimize the plight of the child -the ones who are aware of the child but view their suffering as a necessary, unalterable evil -the ones who believe the child's plight is inextricable from reality itself and believe others are childish and naive for questioning the necessity of its suffering LIB/CON OVERLAP -the ones who would rather not think of the child and are bummed when it comes up -the ones who would rather not think of the child and are angry at those who bring it up -the ones who are really proud their alleged utopia comes at the cost of “only the one” child -the ones who assume the child must deserve it -the ones who wonder aloud if we could upscale the whole thing for even better results CON -the ones who doubt the existence of the child -the ones who say that they are in fact the sufferer and the child is their oppressor CON/FASH OVERLAP -the ones who wish to volunteer to torture the child with the blessing of the law -the ones who think it would be hilarious to kill the child just for the fun of destroying utopia -the ones who claim there is no child but if there were the jews probably put it there in order to appease the blacks and idk the gay agenda steel beams faked the moon landing or something. these people are out of their minds -the ones who wish everyone who wasn't like them could also be tortured with the child

I have sadly forgotten who made this, but yeah, it tracks.

I doubt anything was taught that even remotely prepared them for an antidemocratic reality.
I can say that what I remember of my fellow journalism students was they were a duck your head down kind of crowd. I hated it then and I hate it now. That was 16 years ago.
