Man it's so cool that in addition to having no real use other than devaluing a lot of entry level jobs and allowing people with no taste to avoid commissioning artists for things, the main thing that this tech seems to do is "make people crazy and stupid"

This is easy to dunk on but I do think a genuine problem in progressive/left politics is a failure to recognize that there are more of Them than there are of Us and that being Right isn’t going to do a goddamn thing to change that

CC Sabathia is simply one of the most phonetically pleasing names of all time. Just enjoy saying it.

Green Dildo Coin. An amount spent on masked thugs and themed concentration camps that could house and feed every homeless person in America. Cage fights on a paved-over White House lawn. It really all boils down to losers who want to replace our society with a different one that just fucking sucks.

Excited to share that I had the opportunity to work with the @inquirer.com on a logo concept for Philadelphia’s future WNBA team!

so ford is operated at a loss last quarter despite record revenues because they took $800m in tariff charges in q2 (when tariffs were lower than now) - and ford is just one company.

this is getting quite bad now.

Last fall I visited Paris and spent an hour in the city’s catacombs. The idea that everything should be reduced to the individual level flies in the face of the reality: you are not one of one. What makes you special is that you are your own version of something shared.

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points:
β€’Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus
β€’Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws

This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

I think we should be honest that the *Greatest Generation* people [who were white] fought fascism ABROAD while they overwhelmingly supported fascism AT HOME. And frankly, those chickens have come home to roost now.

We could have had cancer vaccines, and instead the United States will contribute nothing whatsoever to mRNA research, condemning millions of people worldwide to unnecessary illness and death

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
