Omfg he already watched it!!!!!!!

Texting my friend Straight Mitch about heated rivalry 😈

🧵

Him retiring when he did and in this way is still one of my big "this is how to grow up to have integrity" memories and models <3 🐯🛷

Selfie in front of tall mirror.

2025 was …… anyway, here’s to 2026.

Image Alt Text: We are watching one of the greatest wastes of money in history, all as people are told that there “just isn’t the money” to build things like housing, or provide Americans with universal healthcare, or better schools, or create the means for the average person to accumulate wealth. The money does exist, it just exists for those who want to gamble — private equity firms, “business development companies” that exist to give money to other companies, venture capitalists, and banks that are getting desperate and need an overnight shot of capital from the Federal Reserve’s Overnight Repurchase Facility or Discount Window, two worrying indicators of bank stress I’ll get into later. No, the money does not exist for you or me or a person. Money is for entities that could potentially funnel more money into the economy, even if the ways that these entities use the money are reckless and foolhardy, because the system’s intent on keeping entities alive incentivizes it. We are in an era where the average person is told to pull up their bootstraps, to work harder, to struggle more, because, as Martin Luther King Jr. once said, it’s socialism for the rich and rugged free market capitalism for the poor. The “free market” is a fucking con. When you or I run out of money, our things are taken from us, we receive increasingly-panicked letters, we get phone calls and texts and emails and demands, we are told that all will be lost if we don’t “work it out,” because the financial system is not about an exchange of value but whether or not you can enter into the currently agreed-upon con. By letting neoliberalism and the scourge of the free markets rule, modern society created the conditions for what I call The Enshittifinancial Crisis — the place at which my friend Cory Doctorow’s Enshittification Theory meets my own Rot Economy Thesis in a fourth stage of Enshittification.

:In November 2025, Reuters revealed that Meta projected in late 2024 that 10% of its annual revenue ($16 billion) would come from advertisements for scams or banned goods, mere weeks after Meta announced a ridiculous $27 billion data center debt package, one that used deep accountancy magic to keep it off of its balance sheet despite Meta guaranteeing the entirety of the loan. One would think this would horrify investors for two reasons: Meta’s business is both supporting and profiting from organized crime, and at 10% of its revenue, it’s also kind of dependent on it. Meta is using deliberate and insidious accounting tricks to act like a data center that it is paying to build and will be the sole tenant of is somehow an “off balance sheet” operation. One would be wrong. Morgan Stanley said a few weeks ago that it is “one of the handful of companies that can leverage its leading data, distribution and investments in AI,” and raised its target to $750, with a $1000-a-share bull case. Wedbush raised Meta’s price to $920, and Bank of America staunchly held firm at…$810. I can find no analyst commentary on Meta making sixteen billion dollars on fraud, because it doesn’t matter to them, because this is the Rot Economy, and all that matters is number go up.

Enshittification's first three stages - from a platform people love to a platform businesses profit off of to a platform that hurts consumers and businesses alike - are well-known. But I argue we're in a fourth stage where stocks have become enshittified too.

Anyway we just talked on the phone for almost an hour.

Signs point to yes.

Had been on a couple dates & invited him to my bday party told me he was on the way, he never showed, & didn’t respond to texts for a month after. Then did the same thing a year later when I invited him to a going away party with me. Fool me once….

To be clear this is someone I got ghosted by twice.

Just got hit up by someone I went on 3 dates with & was super hung up on a decade ago????

Closing tonight & just found out my 9a flight home tomorrow isn’t actually until 1p 🥲🫶🏼

White text on black background, a screenshot, reading “Greetings from the Arctic Attached is next week's schedule. Home Bears game on Saturday at 7:20pm so BE READY! If anyone wears Packers colors will be working for free, you have been warned. “

Picture of an arm holding up a striped shirt with every color on it, but large striped of green.

Left: email from my boss (it’s a joke, chill)
Right: possible fits for the day (it’s a joke, chill)

No! & I feel like everyone talks about that! but I do feel my heart beat in my chest really differently?

A crazy top surgery affect has been cracking my back in places they have never cracked before . My scapulas are hitting spots they haven’t been in YEARS.

Once asked a woman point blank if she thought I personally shouldn’t be able to see a doctor. “Well, uhhh, it’s just, your employer should pay for you to do that” and told her, yes they do, that’s why there’s the surcharge.

Nothing gives me more joy than telling customers that no, I can not remove the ‘employee healthcare surcharge’ on their bill.

Extremely “my bitch wife” relationship. But either way she’s still sitting& purring on her heating pad in the corner of the bed she likes it on.

really fucked up by forming a relationship with my cat over a decade and a half where she believes that her needs & desires will be met if she asks because now she won’t shut the fuck up

A bed is pushed into the corner multiple pillows strewn at the top and blankets pulled up so that you can just see the head of a black cat poking out rested on pillows

In the center of the image, the head of a small sleeping black cat is nestled between multiple blankets & pillows

Winter is so hard for tiny little kitties

Wow: Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named for Holocaust survivor Raphael Lemkin, who coined term "genocide") calls Clinton's remarks "genocide denial."

"Young people in the US are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well."

it's one big pump and dump and you're the bag holder of last resort

We’re celebrating three months of no calltime with a 6-hour Streamathon!!!!

Instead of calling billionaires and corporate pacs, we want to hear from YOU!

Tell us what you care about by leaving a voicemail at 312-899-6031 between now and Sunday ☎️ and we’ll listen to them on the air!

Truly psychic warfare trying to access nearly a month of my labors worth of cash. (Im usually better about depositing regularly so it’s not thus much but jesus fuck)

It’s soooo cool how Bank of America can play the same 40 second clip of lo-fi Royalty Free Breezy Piano on repeat every time they put me on hold for 30min before dropping my call (waiting on hold for the 4th time now) when I try to tell them about how their ATM stole 2 grand from me✌🏼✌🏼

It’s so wild that how no matter who I call or when they are ALWAYS “experiencing higher than normal call volumes”

dawg we are trapped inside the belly of a dying beast

Imagine looking around America in 2025 and thinking, "What we need less of is morality."
