This skeet will self destruct

I’ll bet $20 it was written with Grok

The average freshman was born in 2008.

They've lived almost entirely in a post-Bush world
Madonna had already turned 50 when they were born
Bad Bunny was in middle school
Destiny's Child hadn't been a thing for a couple of years
Netflix still used DVDs.

Be safe out there.

So am I correct to assume that Carell's Rooster is sort of like The Office but with Derrida?

lol 🤡

Please join me in congratulating Marco Rubio for his new role as Ayatollah.

Between Labour, Reform, and the Conservatives, I chose AI. A disconnected Echo is better than those together, in a bucket, with two eggs on top.

We should be working on the "better" option. Which doesn't involve ActBlue, lol.

I'd say it's worse than delusional: it's a sort of dangerous, irresponsible naiveté in the "thoughts and prayers" tradition. Normal is dead, and politicians not taking bold steps to address it and to think what new arrangement we can build is abdicating their responsibilities.

You know what appetite there is for this in the US? Not much. There's still a strong 25-30% of fundamentalists who will oppose any form of accountability. That's not easy to solve. Which means I am again repeating this: bsky.app/profile/pard...

The thing is, what would be needed to actually re-establish some form of order would involve strong signals to the ROW that this won't repeat; this requires a strong internal response towards accountability and punishment; it also requires transforming the media sphere entirely through the State.

"But JP, what about AOC!" Again, think of a variation of "elite capture" but with politicians.

How do you break them paths? Not with Schumer and Jeffries in the leadership of the opposition party. That's for sure.

I'm a broken record on this but folks haven't realized how difficult things will be after this regime is over given the tentacles it is leaving behind. Even the most superficial reading of theories of institutional change will tell you this is a path we don't want to depend on.

Recognizing that spirituality is central to meaning making for many, and that it’s a way of articulating visions of justice, is part of the kind of politics we need.

You must love old English cottages!

I was joking with my parents that they should get some exoskeletons to make things easier thinking "hey. that's just sci-fi" and then I found you can get them for the cost of an iPhone. hypershell.tech/en-us/pages/...

She was arrested for holding a protest sign in small-town California: ‘This is a testing ground’ Jenny O’Connell-Nowain was put under house arrest and her husband, Benjamin, lost his job after they protested at board of supervisors meetings

This is appalling and, frankly, merits an intervention in Shasta County www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

*Laughs from the UK*

Budgets for US Nat'l Endowments for the Arts & Humanities, combined $414 million annually.

Budget for the UK Arts & Hums Res Council for "curiosity-driven research", £39 million, rising to a staggering £45m by 2029...

Maybe if Carter had been an outspoken bigot and equal opportunity for racists kinda guy, he would have had that second term.

Cute speeches at Davos are just strongly worded letters.

A single person is wiping out some $1-2 trillion in the markets and you’d imagine economic elites would be a bit more activated but no.

So rapture, but binary.

Tech bros not caring much about bombs dropped on actually conscious beings, and enjoying dinners made out of other conscious beings, shows that consciousness is pretty much not what they’re actually into.

Great time to have an electric.

Drop in green. Huh.

Anyone talking about the troops shooting torpedoes on unarmed ships or dropping bombs on schools?

The absolutely most horrid, tasteless, aesthetics you can think of. If bad taste were illegal, this would be worthy of the ultimate punishment.
