The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Centrist/Moderate is great branding because it implies reasonableness but there's nothing reasonable about stubbornly clinging to pro-business and pro-upper class politics when the country is falling apart. This is an ideology like any other, and it's a bad one

i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

Trump speech in front of congress

"And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth."

That’s my hope, anyhow. Sometimes I lean toward unplugging, in order work on connection with the people who share physical space with me most often, but I’ve learned so much in these spaces that it would feel like quite a loss. Instead, still striving for balance.

And 3) with the right network it helps us learn/share/refine the vocabulary and the avenues of thought we need to discuss *all this* in the real world, whether building ways forward with like-minded folks or speaking out clearly and strongly when we encounter folks who think differently.

I keep trying to articulate where the value is in social media such that it counters the negative effects of doomscrolling, and I think there are a few: 1) this is one way of maintaining community, 2) it helps us build trusted pathways to sources of information (yes, a double edged sword) (contd)

Mom, can you come pick me up? The best lack all conviction and the worst are filled with passionate intensity

Fell down a baby hole. Still here just more drool stains.

Hadababy itsaboy wait how many characters do we get here?

Anyway Finn is here and he’s perfect. ‘Night.

I don’t want to know how many people have already asked this but…

Do we call these ‘skeets’?

“Human rights should, can, and do apply to all humans” is not and should not be a radical statement.

The amount of effort that some people go to try to obscure this basic concept is truly wild.

As alluded to above, a large segment of fan discourse on social media, in response to a star sitting regularly, rapidly regresses to ‘they make millions of dollars playing games so make them do their dance for us!’ Dehumanizing for sure.

Correct, mostly driven by the brand power of superstars. ‘I paid to watch LeBron, not the Lakers bench.’ It’s tough when they play so many games and so frequently even if their total minutes per game are less than in football.

My god... it's full of blue...
