Goldstein (but I like Universal Healthcare more)

Eating cherries for the last 3 days has basically turned me into Lady Macbeth. I got these crimson stained hands and no amount of washing can take it off.

Pretty sure this is a common justification for mass murder. Not sure I agree with minimizing the widespread murder and handwaving it away as necessity.

Israel’s support for clans in Gaza puts tribal strongman in spotlight Israeli officials say arming clans can create a counterweight to Hamas. Some critics of the initiative say it aims to undermine Palestinian nationalism.

This is how Hamas started.

How do *I* sue @jimacosta.bsky.social for conducting an “A.I. interview” with one of the murdered Parkland kids, because, short of actual acts of violence, it might be the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen a human being do.

Once again pointing out that socialism is not an ideology, it is the simple application of science. We know how to fix problems, if society is willing to make the changes necessary. This is why propaganda as a field was invented. Its why anti-intellectualism is so prevalent in capitalist countries.

Strengthening collective labor rights can help reduce economic inequality A research team’s findings suggest that when workers are free to advocate for better wages and benefits for themselves, it also benefits society as a whole.

The richest 1% of Americans now have 5x more wealth than the bottom 50%.

Meanwhile, 59% of Americans can't cover a $1000 emergency expense.

Strengthening collective labor rights may reduce economic inequality, according to political scientists.

Its not what you know, its who you know.

Yes! Thank you!

What was the name of those earplugs to drown out noise that people loved?

Y'all take 42 minutes to fall asleep? Sounds terrible. 5-10 minutes tops over here. I'm pretty sure I've done it in less. My dog has me beat, but she's my training partner/rival for sleep and a good motivator.

I just want my own drone that can go to the grocery store and back. I don't mind if it needs multiple trips or whatever. That's a block or two of walking that I just shouldn't have to do. But also, it would be convenient to have something that can hold stuff up for me without needing a second person

Our flâneur president is exploring the psychogeography of the White House in the context of its urban environment but go off

Is the woman in the bottom left trying to hide her face?

Mine does the grumble cooldown too. Keeps the engine idling for a little while just in case.

Lmao. I love Shiba noises. Shiba screams are special.

E pluribus anus.

Not only did this one teach me a new euphemism, but I found out that Dave Chappelle has a whole standup bit about them in a negative way.

when someone I thought was normal says "seed oil"

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) says that Republicans should take her vocal criticisms of the GOP — which she insists are not criticisms of President Trump — as a warning about coming troubles with their base.

The Republican cult of personality around Trump is so strong that any criticism of policy has to be carefully couched not as a failure by Trump but as a failure by those around him. Trump is himself infallible, it is only the lesser mortals who hamper his divine agenda.

Queens don't need permission, they grant it.

That's a lot of money for some door hinges.

I love that the dogs on my block are synced up with their barking. The bork dorks.

The rich must be incentivised; the poor must be disciplined.

The political economy of the super-elite in one headline.

Its really incredible what a flashpoint Obama's election seems to have been for Americans. So many Boomer "liberals" suddenly found themselves reeling and looking for answers the moment a Black person became president. And they all seem to have found those answers in fascism.

Scientific bedlam at the world’s weirdest and wildest research conference Woodstock Bio2 + Night Science aimed to encourage collaborations through creativity. The walk-on music for presentations was fun, too.

“We are trying to reimagine science in a non-bureaucratic, non-boring way,” says @odedrechavi.bsky.social.

“By acting silly or goofy, it sets the tone for an open conference where we can be authentic and show vulnerability,” says @natanellae.bsky.social

Putin has been quite clear for decades now. He will not allow Ukraine to leave Russian sphere of influence. It is a sine qua non for him and he will go down with that ship. Either the West accepts that or it needs to fight a long and bloody war with Russia. Putin is not changing his mind on this.
