I saw a comment the said we aren’t “angry enough.” But all we are is angry. Our veins circulate it like acid. It cracks our sternums. It poisons and paralyzes us. We hiss and spit at each other, all impotent, helpless rage.

We don’t need more anger. We need more direction.

Y’all did you know that you are allowed to bring personal alcohol onto Amtrak trains, and drink it while aboard? Why are we tolerating airlines and their shoddy behavior when we could be getting drunk in a sleeper car?

YouTube video by John Prine - Topic Your Flag Decal Won't Get You into Heaven Anymore

Your flag decal won't get you into Heaven anymore

The second best thing about having unionized supervisors is that you’ll likely have fewer issues with them not following the contract. Because they understand labor contracts.

The first best thing is obviously all the other good stuff about being unionized.

The problem with having Seattle cats is that they think if the sun is out it means it’s warm. I must now acclimate them to the Northeast where, if the sun is out, it just means that it’s EVEN FUCKING COLDER.

Omg no, you’re not going to make Anthropic into “resistance tech.” Nope nope nope

as an outgrowth of this I’ve decided I’m gonna write something on the entirely invented media narrative that organized labor and union voters are somehow meaningfully shifting toward Trump

This makes me so angry because stuff like this is actively harmful to actual organizing efforts.

God, I’m starting to understand how he thinks. I hate this.

Oh lord what am I missing? Is he inventing a new Ultra Mega Supreme Court because they hurt his feelings?

We need to go back to the days when America believed in true automobile craftsmanship.

If we want to fight the manosphere, we need to make it trendy for men to feel all their feelings, for them to wear eye makeup and women’s jeans, and have a flair for drama and theatre.

We need an Emo Renaissance.

They'll always be bad news, but it's up to each and every one of us to process the good and the bad, while remaining focused on our vision and ensuring we can be healthy as possible.

I find myself truly bewildered by the petulant attitudes of tech CEOs and AI pushers. For years now, they've gleefully told people to "learn to do something else then," when confronted with the labor costs of gAI, and laughed/mocked critics.
Why do they expect to be treated nicely in return?

I watched some of this and this woman is INCREDIBLY stupid. But then, I watched basically the same thing at last night's library board meeting. It happens everywhere, all the time, and nobody does a damn thing.
