You're in a GREAT region for it. That's where I first got into birding back in '14

What do you mean the rules of society don't apply because it's a dog!? www.curbed.com/article/dogs...

the 'electability' question is increasingly clear www.sosavstate.com/p/gavin-news...

see?
here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

ill never understand this need from both left and right for there to be some master manipulator behind everything. sometimes politicians are just really shitty and they arent being paid off or blackmailed to do so. they just suck.

BLM Plans to Clearcut Almost 2 Million Acres of Western Oregon Old-Growth Forests This would brings us back to the 1960s, when 3 square miles of rain forest were felled every week

This needs to be stopped, and likely needs to have people camped out like during No DaPL protests. These corporations are going to eliminate all the old-growth trees you claim to love.

Stop them. You squat on our land. Protect it.

Polymarket, Kalshi and all the rest of these prediction markets need to be wiped off the face of the earth. They provide absolutely nothing of value and are corrupting everything they touch.

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Actually Fuck King County Bus System though

This is straight up manufacturing consent now

Distracted boyfriend meme. A man labelled Facebook birders turns away from "real birds" to instead admire "using habitat-wrecking AI to make a birding profile pic"

As usual, I'm mentally running from the big scary things by focusing on getting extremely petty and angry about smaller things

We have enough evidence for UBI in general that this policy should be a given. But the difference is, to understand UBI works is to believe that people are fundamentally good. And a big chunk of society is built around the belief, *must maintain the belief* that people are fundamentally bad.

If you can’t run against the fucking Gestapo, then get out of the way for those who can.

Not to say "post about Milei instead of Maduro right now" but if your first time posting about corrupt global leadership and economics completely ignores 2025's scams in Argentina but then makes numerous posts about Venezuela as soon as it happens? It makes me think that's all

This isn't to defend the Maduro regime, but there's all this bellyaching about how bad Maduro was for the "economies" of South America, but not a single post in recent memory of Javier Milei actively damaging Argentina's social safety net and environment for short term gain and scams?

I dunno man, one of the more prominent, nominally left of center economics accounts has been doing more posting about how great it is that Maduro has been deposed than I have Ever seen him post about other bad leaders, despite having no connection to Venezuela.
Makes ya think

Hello, we see you're interested in local politics in Portland, would you be interested in this podcast consisting of the two most dull white men you've ever seen calmly shit talking Oregon while saying some of the most confidently wrong things you've ever heard and telling each other "Exaaaactly"

There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good.

This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it.

A thread on how to do that 🧵

New research highlights from 2025!

This thread covers some of our latest work on capitalism, imperialism, post-growth and ecosocialist futures. It's all open access, and free PDFs are available via the link at the end of the thread. 🧵

More training isn't going to fix the ethnic cleansing squad! The problem is that we employ an ethnic cleansing squad that attracts the type of people who would want to be part of an ethnic cleansing squad!

Super important that every discord user takes this survey. Let them know.

And if you want a Mamdani, you need to volunteer with a ground campaign. You need to talk to people irl about the policies your candidate is fronting and why they're a good thing.

It's not just charisma, it's support. Support against bad actors and support to rally wider political momentum.

I think more people in the ttrpg and AP space could benefit from going back to their roots of text based and post by post RPs

Turning Point USA was founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk and Bill Montgomery

Two of their major policy pushes were a more prominent gun culture and zero COVID restrictions

Bill Montgomery died to the COVID virus

Charlie Kirk died to gun violence

Yet another example of using “AI” but mixing up GenAI and other forms of machine learning.

The polls they cite about AI attitudes? People are talking about GenAI

The examples where AI is working? Non-GenAI machine learning.

The latter, more speculative ones? Back to GenAI

Fave trick of AI fans

related to this a lot of people in the pundit class need to learn how to just be annoyed by someone or something without turning it into What’s Wrong With America

Saw this adorable French animation ad and I had to share it over here! The style looks familiar but I can’t my finger on what group it is. Any ideas?

I absolutely LOVE campaign progression visuals AHH
