Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking

Didn't they spend most of today saying Newsome was wrong for closing the highway?

Fetterman is the biggest fucking tool. That's not even a joke about him being tall. He's just a giant pile of shit.

I would instantly vote for anyone who promises:

1 - Never use the US Security Council Veto
2 - Join the International Criminal Court
3 - Bring to trial all US Citizens with a warrant by that court.

This is starting to more and more feel like getting high on their own supply...

Silksong end game platforming feels like it takes things away from you to be hard, rather then let you use the abilities you got to their best effect.

We're going to get those "future liberals wanted" I was promised, if we have to drag it kicking and screaming to the present.

If you value any thing over any person, I don't understand you.

important to remember that no matter how unpopular you think the regime is currently, this is actually the most popular they will ever be between today and any dat you pick in the future

I feel like James Bond villains were mostly tech bros before tech bros were a thing.

Okay this has never worked but maybe THIS is the one time it will work (going to bed super early and getting so much sleep that tomorrow I will be entirely cured of my agonies and as vigorous and healthy as a superhero)

This time FOR SURE

Pope Leo blasts economy that marginalizes poor while wealthy live in bubble of luxury Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows "exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation," with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty." Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down." The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote. Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

Pope Leo is spitting.

Libertarians fundamentally lack the foresight and accountability that would ever allow them to be better then a junior dev or pm.

You know you're fine when you you investigate a block list you're added to, and the creator of that list is on block lists in *multiple* languages (5+).

Maybe "Sunless Sea"?

There's no such thing as an ethical tech CEO.
But if they tell you they can't be bullied into doing the right thing, they're lying.
