When people say UBI won’t work because people won’t be incentivized to work I call BS.
I renovate homes and I love it. Even if I had tons of money going into my bank account, and I didn’t have to lift a finger for it, I would still want to do this work. I’d just do it for free.
A family of Ravens is putting the goth back in gothic at NYC's largest cathedral--St John the Divine. There are five mouths to feed, so the parents are staying busy! ⛪️⛪️⛪️ #Ravens #Cathedral #birding

BREAKING: Israel has breached the fake ceasefire, destroying multiple civilian and commercial buildings in Beirut, Lebanon - and is currently flying drones over the country, preparing to strike again.
Thoughts on the Anniversary of 'Letter from Birmingham Jail' | To read King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” is to be reminded of just how low our public life has fallen in the age of Trump...
Whenever I am tempted to say "What the actual fuck is wrong with Democrats?" I just have to remind myself that the answer is the same as it ever was: racism.
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”
The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.
It's both funny and embarrassing how all of these uncreative Tech "geniuses" are naming their companies after the heart of darkness or the literal embodiments of evil as though it isn't a statement of intent they assume people are too dim to see as transparent evil.
Thinly veiled racism, misogyny and pedophilia. The venn diagram of people who advocate for more teen pregnancies and the people who want to fuck children is a goddam circle.
All you Dem MFs running in the midterms, you can't point to polling anymore as your reason for being wishy-washy on this right here. So we'll know damn well where your bread is buttered if you do
Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
I've been thinking about the backlash Marie Kondo got and I think part of it was not just that she was saying "buy less shit" she was explicitly say "only buy what actually makes you happy" and in a nation of conspicuous consumption it pissed people off.
You do understand we can not allow his children to keep the money or flee the country either. Right?
I think if AOC ran she’d be one of the strongest contenders in the primary. I think it’s more likely the party nominates a progressive than a moderate. Moreover, I think any nominee is going to have to accept that the base has moved significantly on issues like DHS and Israel.
mRNA technology may be THE most underrated and unfairly scrutinized (fuck you COVID antivax crew) medical breakthrough in my lifetime.
Like... The things this is already showing it can do in the last 5-7 years is incredible.
I love when there is, every so often, news that is good
I’m late, but I have no difficulty believing Randy Quaid could be a cannibal.

Be here to post live recipes-I mean, comments- here tonight when the Sven Squad serves up “Parents” ( or will the parents serve up…?) on MeTV! Use the hashtag #svengoolie or #houseofsvengoolie - and think twice about having snacks…
Jon Ossoff didn't sugarcoat it.
"While you pay more for everything, the first family's wealth is growing by billions. Because they're crooks.
And everybody knows it." 💯

Cover of Mother Jones with an image of fingers pointing at John Roberts and the coverline "Blame John Roberts for Everything"
The NYT big expose on SCOTUS today pairs well with @ariberman.bsky.social and @pemalevy.bsky.social's cover story on how ~everything wrong with this country today can be laid at the feet of John Roberts: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The problem is a society that raises, accepts, and supports men to be violent against women.
“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” - Margaret Atwood
All of his businesses and property should be nationalized and dissolved and he should be stripped of literally every single asset and dollar. Put him in public housing and let him live off of whatever UBI the next Congress passes.
Florida GOP Rep Anna Paulina Luna is all over Russian state TV attacking Ukraine. I’m not saying she’s a Putin asset, but I’m not not saying that.
Seems like the Strait of Hormuz is only open when the stock market is.
@repsummerlee.bsky.social served a #CupOfJoe to RFK Jr. with a latte
truth to power.
"Do you have an idea of how we could solve the Black maternal mortality crisis if we can't say 'Black?'"
The guy is a danger to society.
“That’s all anybody can do right now. Live. Hold out. Survive. I don’t know whether good times are coming back again. But I know that won’t matter if we don’t survive these times.”
― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower
John Roberts is and always has been Sam Alito with better PR
he has declared himself and his fellow republican justices the unelected rulers of America and they have wielded their power in favor of making Donald Trump of all people untouchable
the court as it exists today must be broken
