If only our society took major crimes by rich people as seriously as minor crimes by poor people. Ideally more seriously. But as seriously would be a big improvement.

Just thinking again how Democrats asked people to accept short-term suffering in order to give space to prevent long-term, worse suffering and then said, "Thanks for suffering in the short-term. You'll get to suffer long-term too so that our Thanksgiving plans don't get disrupted."

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

anyways the problem with the Democratic Party is not the language its leaders use but the principles they lack

if you know what you believe in it’s not actually that complicated to express it effectively

Glad she’s feeling better!

I’m so sorry it is the absolute worst. Me and my daughter got it a few years ago. Her case was relatively mild mostly just throat pain for a few days, but my case was brutal. Just be warned you may lose some finger or toenails. I was not prepared for that phase of the illness.

I talk/sang “Moses supposes his toes are roses…”to my toddler the other day she thought it was the most amusing thing 🥰

"The problem with AI isn't that it can do your job. It can't. The problem with AI is that your MBA-brained boss's boss doesn't know how your job works and thinks AI can do your job at fractions of a penny on the dollar, and hears the siren song of 'maximize shareholder value'."

MBA-brain is real.

Computers used to scream every time they connected to the Internet. They knew. They tried to warn us. We did not listen.

An open letter to the American public on respiratory virus vaccines Read an open letter to the general public from the AMA and medical societies reaffirming support for vaccination to protect against flu, COVID-19, and RSV.

As US government authorities can no longer be relied upon to provide reliable medical information, the American Medical Association and 78 other medical societies have written an open letter to the American public underscoring the importance of vaccines.

striking the degree to which "reacitonary centrism" is now a q-anon style alternate reality, with its own set of facts and elaborate mythology churned out by social media algorithms.

They know the COIN act is DOA. They voted for Trump’s crypto bill for their mega donors. They put up these symbolic bills to appease the base even though they know it will fail. They don’t give a shit how bad republican legislation is as long as their access to money and power is maintained.

To treat Zohran Mamdani as the kind of “dangerous” force that requires pulling out every dirty trick, agèd reprobate, and millions of dollars while handling Trump’s constitutional demolition derby with kid gloves is simply unforgivable.

when we scream and shout about doing things, this is what we mean. got popped and still went back again? hell yeah brother

When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine.

It's the same court and lawyers.

The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity

Well, if there's one thing Minnesota is good at, it's being so cold and off-putting to people from other parts of the country who try to move here that they just leave. So I guess that's one unexpected upside in the event of military occupation

the mainstream media has been steadily buying into the idea that science and academia are somehow "captured" by left and liberal ideologues, rather than the more obvious explanation that measured analysis leads people away from reactionary thought

Saved a copy when he was confirmed. The ACIP news has me sick to my stomach. My two and half year old has all but her kindergarten shots, but I’m 7 months pregnant with my second and filled with rage. I will fight like hell to protect all the babies and our hard fought herd immunity. Fuck RFK.

Also for what it’s worth my parents in their 70s life long dems who have no social media, read the New York Times and Wall Street Journal daily, currently also hate the democrats for failure to be an actual opposition party.

a golden retriever puppy on a bright pink rope leash prances through some tall grass. he’s wearing a brightly patterned bandana around his neck and is carrying a miniature six-stripe pride flag in his mouth. his front right paw is raised mid-stride, like he’s ready to hop into a pride parade at any second.

This is Bodie. He’s here to celebrate the start of Pride Month. Been working on this pose for weeks. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)

Opposing the violent dehumanization of Palestinians in Gaza and the ongoing genocide is a moral imperative.

Opposing the rising antisemitic violence against Jewish Americans is a moral imperative.

All human lives have value and should be treated as sacred. Dehumanization harms all of us.

Didn’t google intentionally make its search shittier so you spent longer on google and have to engage more with advertising? I feel like that was a story a little while ago.

Thank you! Just read your post and immediately bought stroller attachments for a second baby seat. Before checking out, I noticed the company had a banner up saying prices increasing on May 12th.

One thing you notice about anti-feminism is that its public discourses are all about erecting a fantasy of men’s victimization that is clung to all the more desperately and insistently the more it contradicts the actual facts. So the more women are hurt, the more we’re told that men are suffering.
