Things to easily give up:
-The bloated insurance industry profiting off of denying care as a pure middleman
-Multi-billion-dollar defense contracts that don't bare useful advances
-Endless tax cuts and subsidies for the rich that never actually create any jobs for us
Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.
1 year ago today I was terminated by DOGE from USAID where I worked to get humanitarian aid into Gaza. Everyone I knew across almost 10 years of my career across 3 prior jobs became unemployed as well. My entire LinkedIn network suddenly became "open to work"
I'm a one issue voter. Punishment.
Oh gods, do I miss that! Remote work should have stayed the norm for everyone who could logistically do it, since most people were happier and more productive with it.
You don't miss lockdown.
You miss the feeling that you had a good reason to learn something new, try a new hobby. You miss being told to discover a simple passion inside you.
You miss a brief time of feeling core humanity instead of grinding in capitalism for a few assholes making their line go up.
Don't assume you can clock AI just because someone was able to write with actual, proper punctuation. Real human writers will agonize and consult manuals over proper comma placement, em-dashes, etc, and AI steals from that.
You know AI by how it just feels off and doesn't quite flow or have feeling.
I also support our tax dollars going to create and maintain basic, fundamental housing that anyone at any time can check in to use in order to simply have a bed, a roof, an internet connection, and a door that locks. No means testing, just a basic place to sleep securely regardless of situation.
i support whichever candidate will vow to eradicate palantir and its owners
I don't support free healthcare.
I support our tax dollars going to pay for a much more reasonable healthcare that is granted to everyone, pays all healthcare providers fair wages, and cuts out bloated insurance companies and their evil executives entirely from the process of access to healthcare.
Oh yeah, that all counts. True Seattle there.
As a non-Christian who doesn't like any of the big three desert religions, I'm flat amazed at how many of these people are completely unaware of their own mythos around false prophets and the antichrist and how readily they'll fall into that exact mythos for an obvious malevolent charlatan.
Are you drinking a coffee drink that came from an indie coffee cart whose decorations include pride flags and posters for bands you've never heard of while you do that? You'll be fully saturated Seattle then.
Yikes! Always something…
We better wake up to what’s happening online. The right isn’t just posting anymore; they’re scaling influence with AI.
📌 AI-generated pro-Trump “influencers” are surging on social media and are starting to shape what people see and believe.
The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.
The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.
It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.
the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system
Caitlyn Jenner was so convinced that she had been granted the official status Entitled White Woman, she was sure she'd be safe when the right attacked everyone with the status Trans.
She's a dumbass and a traitor, and no trans people should be suffering these attacks on human rights. Even her.
"Hey, let's feed our groups of trained soldiers small amounts of unpalatable slop while needlessly forcing them to leave home on a ship for a conflict that we started over vanity, all while we stay home and dine on lobster and $400 steaks.
"No way this could ever possibly bite us in the ass!"
NICE FUKCIN' WEBSITE
How it feels to be an 80's kid and live in 2026 with modern technology, especially with "vibecoded" BS:
And yes, in the long-ago, the stock market was related to the actual economy by representing the real products people were investing in creating and that consumers were purchasing.
But since the deregulation of banks, private equity games, etc, it feels much more like rich-person fantasy football.
"You can't afford to live as an average person, but the stock market is doing really well."
That means the real economy is in the toilet, but the rich-people-fantasy-dreamy-thinking-roleplay economy is going so good with their imaginary Investment Bucks™ being worth triple rainbows!
We are an alcoholic society through and through. It's something I noticed early on as a non-drinker, this culture is absolutely addicted to the idea that adult leisure=drinking.
Another case of Schrodinger's Teenager.
When the right wing wants to ban information that could lead to agency and self determination, a 17yo is "just a child", but when they want to commodify all women and girls into their eugenics baby machines, a 15yo is "practically an adult".

I think Graham Platner is a Republican plant to try to normalize Nazi shit and the R-slur and other stuff like that.
Congress can still make some decisions, but if most citizens only checked Public Healthcare, Housing, Parks, etc. and only a few checked War, we don't pay for mass murder across the ocean when what we want for OUR money is good things to happen here instead.
Be a better system than what we have.
Every citizen when filing taxes in the modern era should have a few checkboxes they can notch to state what they're willing to purchase with the taxes they pay. At our current tech level, we could make some funding earmarks from the citizenry that get calculated into available buckets for usage.
