In the end, she acted like a power mad mod from a 1990s chatroom to an audience old enough to remember that from the first go-round.

I hate the era of celebrity CEOs. I don’t want to know what these people look like. They’re overpaid enough, they don’t also get my time and attention

I am once again asking @toni.bsky.team, give me a way to pay. I will pay for a sub even if it doesn’t give me anything at first. I would like to be the customer rather than the product

Let me tell you something. Y’all are asking too many damn questions at every point of sale. I have to leave a comment, make a suggestion, donate to a charity, choose a method of payment three times and then multiple choice of ways to get a receipt.

Take the damn money and leave me alone.

The College Republicans of America just appointed a groyper as their political director. Kai Schwemmer was in Fuentes' inner circle in 2021, & since then has strategically downplayed his support to avoid controversy. CRA claims over 300 campus chapters across the country

Look, again, as I've said over and over and over, it would be one thing if the people obsessing over trans people in sports were interested in some sort of compromise. But they're just... not. www.readtpa.com/p/fine-lets-...

This didn't happen. The perception that it did is largely based on fictional shows that were about rich people. Much more common was a household where one person (theoretically Dad in a het household) was the higher earner and paid the housing costs and the other paid utilities & food

It does suck some folks don’t have sick time and in order to still make a living they gotta come in sick.

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering β€œdistractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

Wounded Knee. Tulsa. My Lai. Abu Ghraib

And now, Minab

We need to talk about the horror when 180 little schoolgirls, boys and teachers were obliterated by U.S. Tomahawk missiles last week. And tell Congress: Not one more dime for these war crimes

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.
