Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

I believe this is the end. But not just for the U.S. Technocracy is on the rise as well as sociopathy.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

my armchair psychological diagnosis is that the drive to accumulate as much wealth as possible eats away at the drive for self-improvement or the internal desire to cultivate any skills or tastes. these people build huge mounds of treasure and then essentially just sit around looking at it, empty.

Musk and Trump celebrating their stolen election and purchase of the United States.

Elon Musk is the first person in history to hoard at least $400 Billion in capital and resources, while more than half of the US live paycheck to paycheck while paying taxes that make Musk wealthier.

Musk & Trump plan to slash the dwindling benefits the average USian gets.

I appreciate the warning and will make haste

This guitar punches drywall.

HUGE: a new study shows that standing at the window with your hands clasped behind your back muttering bitter recriminations to yourself is fine, totally healthy, and not a big deal at all

I do think that it's always a good time to reflect on the fact that we either are or interact daily with people who are unnecessarily suffering, often in silence, due to the US healthcare system. Just because it's the stroke of a pen or algorithmic doesn't make it any less violent or dehumanizing.

Most of us find it more evil to be protective of the class that is destroying all of us for personal profit. Many folks died because of him, so of course people celebrate when the bad guy falls.

Yeah? People don't go down in history by having empathy. It's by taking out those who do more harm to the world than good. In this case, an evil man lost his life and the man who did it is forever known a revolutionary and hero to the working class.

It’s important to remember that the slain United Healthcare CEO had a FAMILY. It must be hard on them, to lose someone they love so suddenly. Most of us are blessed to lose our loved ones slowly & horribly as they fight a losing battle with United Healthcare to get approval for life-saving treatment

Trump has no frontal lobe or forehead. So it's a no from me.

Word on the street is that amp is so clean, it'll make you slap ya daddy and throw away all your chorus pedals cause the on board chorus is it.

I mean, it's karma, at the least.

EXACTLY. Americans are being processed gouged but don't compare us to those Canadians.

Her statement was just false. Canadians pay way less on average for healthcare and medications either way.

That's more than outright false. single Canadians pay about $6000 of their income to go toward healthcare or "taxes" for that healthcare. Americans spend $15,000 and beyond. Some even owing hundreds of thousands in debt. We are price gouged on medications too compared to pretty much every country.

Here's the thing: they're all bad. There's no reason we don't have universal healthcare for all except these scumbags profiting off our sickness

Zelenskyy being a hero.

Assad being a dumbass.

Zelenskyy stayed in Ukraine to fight Russia. Assad fled to Russia at the first sign of a fight. #freeSyria #freeUkraine

Yes. The fact he lost to Biden and not Hillary was telling enough of where the country is.
