Damn, Bluesky really nosedived even faster than I feared it would.
Another drop in the bucket for not having any CEOs of anything. Fucking parasites.
Maybe, maybe not. The affect of the podcast trend suggests other leanings toward anti intellectualism and fascism—as you’ve pointed out here, quite correctly, about autism speculation absolutely being eugenics.

Genocide profiteers just figured they would throw the 2024 election first. Fucking shameful.

The one that threw the last election to fund genocide? (Sending fundraising emails)
Another government shut down, because the fascists that sycophants keep electing to exterminate me and other groups are increasing the exploitation of a predatory, dysfunctional healthcare system?
Idk, man, I’ve got a lot going on. It’s still Single-payer Universal Healthcare.
A lot of people are going to be wringing their hands and asking what went wrong with AI in the next few years, like we haven’t always had proof of it wasting extreme amounts of water, pushing fascist ideology, and stealing intellectual property

A fundraising text NEW MESSAGE FROM: Chuck Schumer Meredith, is there anything I can say to convince you to donate $20 (becomes $80!) to help take back the Senate majority
“I’m resigning from my position as Democratic leader and retiring from the Senate.”
Fuck Sanderson, actually.
I don't think the people expressing surprise about things the Trump administration is doing understand how absolutely fucking crazymaking each of your posts is for Black and Indigenous folks who called *all of this* and sat through people talking about "respecting norms" for years

Note how instrumental the Democratic Party establishment was here, during Pappy Biden’s admin.
