If you are anxious and sad about the state of the world, that's fine, and there are plenty of strategies for dealing with that. But I think you already know that drive-by online dooming isn't a strategy. It's selfish and adolescent. It's a contagion that only spreads the worst of you, not the best.

This is not how someone gives their heart to the crowd.

It is not a characteristic of autism.

Someone does not accidentally do a Nazi salute.

If you are defending this anti-Semitic behavior, I have one question.

Is there anything Trump and his friends could do that you would not defend?

It was a Nazi salute. Don't let anyone tell you it wasn't.

No matter what you think of what happened on January 6, 2021, President Donald Trump pardoned people who were convicted in a court of law of assaulting police officers with bats, fire extinguishers, batons, planks, and poles.

You Blamed DEI for Hurting Your Career. Now What? For people who pin their failures on diversity, corporate America’s DEI retreat removes a barrier—or maybe an excuse.

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

"Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power, and influence that threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights, the freedoms and the fair shot for everyone to get ahead."

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

We gotta reject “Well, RFK jr. is right about some things” and accept “if we don’t confront the real problems with our systems, it becomes much easier for con artists like this guy to manipulate people.”

Goldman Sachs asks in biotech research report: 'Is curing patients a sustainable business model?' Goldman Sachs warns sales from the most successful disease treatments are difficult to maintain.

Goldman Sachs analysts : The money men saying the quiet part out loud

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

“Pain is a great motivator…the only people who want to issue pain to child are people who truly love them…”
- Del. Dave Foggin (R-Wood)

Tell that to the kids in WV being abused by their parents. Tell that to children being molested in their own homes.

Disgusting.
