Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

This president is the only president to negotiate with himself, in public, and lose collossally. This would be comical if his antics were not lethal and harmful

unfortunately the easiest way to deal with a troll is to troll em till they rage quit...

Ah, you think No Kings is going to accomplish anything? It's nothing compared to my approach of never being around other people for any reason

the gambling epidemic is genuinely so real like sports are entirely gambling now video games are gambling toys are gambling they're still trying to push crypto somehow which is like if money was gambling

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

browsing the internet used to feel like you were uncovering hidden new zones and getting rid of fog of war now it’s like a bunch of cannibal maniacs are chasing after you with crossbows trying to roast you alive

in 2026 we are NOT hustling, we are NOT grinding, we are doing just enough Job to have money for Video Game

I like being an uncle for the holidays because: Mom and dad are responsible, and will discipline you. Grandpa and Grandma are indulgent, and will coddle you. But the uncle... the uncle is unpredictable. The niece and nephew cannot know what the uncle will do, because the soul of the uncle is CHAOS

A Small Town Is Fighting a $1.2 Billion AI Datacenter for America's Nuclear Weapon Scientists Ypsilanti, Michigan has officially decided to fight against the construction of a 'high-performance computing facility' that would service a nuclear weapons laboratory 1,500 miles away.

and people began to fight back, successfully, against the construction of unwanted datacenters in their communities

you can actually just do The Aristocrats straight now

(3/3)"...Employment as a whole rose by just 220,000 over the same period, meaning that, if it was not for that industry, overall employment would have shrunk."

(2/3) "... in much worse-paid industries than finance. Since the end of 2019, New York has added more than 268,000 jobs in health care and social assistance, particularly home health care..."

alt text(1/3): "Estimates from Goldman Sachs suggest that fully 10% of households in New York City with incomes of more than $10m established residency elsewhere between 2018 and 2023.

As the ultra-rich have headed for the exit, the city's employment growth has become concentrated..."

A section from The Economist article "Core Weakness" from Nov 1st-7th. It reads "Optimists see a ray of hope in jobs in tech. Employment in the industry in New York City rose by 64% between 2014 and 2024, according to the Center for an Urban Future, a local think-tank. Alphabet, whoch owns Google, opened campis on the Hudson river in 2022. Last year OpenAI and Anthropic, two big artificial-intelligence firms, opened officea in the city, too."

considering that earlier in the article they spoke of how much cuts have been made to tech jobs this year, and how they plan to increase the cuts exponentially through 2030. I would call those people "Oblivious" & "Delusional" not "Optimistic"

Impossible to say what happened since 2019 that changed our priorities.

Reading the economist. It truely boggles me that our society values financial, investment, and insurance workers over skilled labor, education, and health jobs.

Curiously, the later half will be more difficult for AI to infiltrate than the first half.

I hope you had the time of your lives.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

I think a number of press outlets badly want there to be a groundswell of anti-trans feeling, because the ownership/senior editorial of those papers have absolutely cooked their own brains on transphobia. It seems to be largely an elite psychosis!

democrats need to hold the line. $1200/month for health insurance is despicable. If they will not ensure subsidies then they need to pass a max limit that private companies can offer.

This specifically targets people who work for small businesses. They would perfer us all to labor for corporate.

You have to know your rights because your employer is banking on you not understanding that this is an unlawful request.

The NLRB has ruled that employers cannot force workers to be cheerful, as being unhappy is a right.

I just think AI is so exciting bc it's a machine that you can get wrong answers from, that yields environmental devastation, and is being forced on all of us

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.
