When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt.

This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

Kaine: "Why race-bait at a moment like this? I think POTUS didn't want to be asked tough questions like, why did you let Elon Musk force the FAA administrator to resign... why did you scrap an aviation safety advisory committee on the 2nd day of your presidency?... why did you issue a buyout offer?"

I'm really overusing this, but I'm ok with it ..

No netflix, I do not want games on netflix and I certainly don't want to pay for their development.

Gonna cancel.

2025 is going to be the year of telling technocrats that we're sick of their bloated useless "innovation" & we're sick of their watery-ass algorithms.

Fuck off.

I agree with some left critiques of AOC and don’t think we need to mindlessly applaud her or think she’s free of fault but every time I see her it’s like “why is she the only notable democratic politician as mad about all this shit as they should be?”

If it talks like a ____, if it salute's like a ____, then it's a ____

#trump #facism #elon #leftist

I think it’s important for our side to realize that, No, that salute doesn’t bother them. This is what they wanted all along. They have time and time again shown their hatred for immigrants, women, “non-Christians”. This is who they are. We cannot win against facism with hopes of “educating” them.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

I would be more inclined to give Elon the benefit of the doubt over the Sieg Heil salute if he hadn't just endorsed the closest thing Germany has today to the Nazi party

Positivity, kindness, and earnestness are about to be even more punk af.

In the wise words of Dr. King.

Quit being a bunch of crybabies and actually put your money where your mouth is. Literally. Delete your meta apps (you don’t have to delete the account). Cancel Amazon prime. (You can still order without it w/free shipping over $35 if you absolutely can’t find something in store.)

Well today is a sad sad day.
We have a president that set off a smoking gun about rigging the election. I am mourning the future of America.

NPR JUST GAVE TRUMP CREDIT FOR THE CEASEFIRE IN GAZA.

Are you fucking kidding me??!??

This motherfucker has the audacity to recite Dr. Martin Luther King's "Let Freedom Ring" when trump's policies will probably erase that from American history books.

What a thoroughly disgusting event.
As awful as we thought it might be.

I would caution people to stop relying on the Constitution as written to have any meaning other than what the people Trump put on the Supreme Court says it means.

"He can't do that" is not a useful response to the things he's going to do. The correct response is "Will the Court uphold that?"

something about donald trump, who is aggressively anti-civil rights & anti-factual, being inaugurated on a day dedicated to the most famous u.s. civil rights activist. incredibly cliche kind of metaphor-crafting.

A peaceful way to fight back is to simply hold on to your money. Support local book sellers, and other vendors. Ditch Amazon, Twitter, FB, Starbucks, Walmart to the best of your ability. We need to come together and start growing community gardens.

Strange bright red fungus bordered with fine black filaments like hairs. It is roughly heart-shaped

Slightly misshapen fungus heart ♥️

periodically I look around at the state of the internet and the way it is clearly contributing to making the world worse in so many ways, and I think back to dicking around in a computer lab in the early 00s and how full of promise it all felt, and I feel sad

it didn't have to be this way

This year I finally decided to change some things.
🍷Alcohol usage is going to be rare.(Haven’t had one yet).
📚I started college at 31.
🍎Committed to eating more healthy and listening to my body.
🛍️Trying to be more conscious of my tiny roll in hellscape capitalism.

I’m prioritizing me.🥰

Couldn’t decide which to do so, both knitting and coursework it is.

I just started college to get my associates in accounting. Now I’m terrified AI is going to make me getting a degree fucking pointless 😭
