Ah, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions
/pos (I made really good decisions that benefit me today)

"I can't believe he's –"

I can. I can believe it very easily, actually.

Exactly this. 🎯

im finally a tankie

They are hiding this from you to make you afraid.

These facts do not dismiss or diminish victims of crimes. We have real work to do. But the world is not falling apart because of "street criminals". It's falling apart because of mansion criminals.

That FedEx driver has no motivation to get your package to your hands. Hard to be mad when they're judged on speed.

Hopefully this will make people care.

Wish they did beforehand, but still. Direct incentives, right?

I think this is not hyperbole. Even if they were less competent, they would not be as malicious.

Gerrymandering can backfire. It's all about packing and cracking.

Packed districts for sure go blue, so it's all down to the primary. That lets us elect strong left-wing reps.

Cracked district shave just enough red to push over the edge. A big enough shift in voter sentiment and it all topples.

This is a good response.

She was also publicly racist and running for a blue seat. Tells you where the zeitgeist is for those districts maybe. But not the country, unfortunately

Myself and the rest of the "two things can be true" crowd bout to go defend a totalitarian theocracy by saying we should not have invaded the county

You avoid it by… not doing war? He chose this?

The pedophile in charge of the federal government is trying to use AI to build autonomous weapons systems and mass surveillance.

Have a nice night!

No it was uploaded after my post I swear! This was my own original idea!

I love how every step of the way they find new ways to justify it. I think in 2015 even a lot of MAGAs would turn if Trump said he would defy SCOTUS.

But he inched on and on towards authoritarianism. Now they don't care.

Gonna stop trying "the more you know!" and instead say "the more you know, the better you can resist propaganda."

I posted this and then @hankgreen.bsky.social did a video where he said he's not diagnosed. I caused this. Me.

Bad law. Truth is real, but the government can't be the one to legislate that.

like it's all there the rhythm the word choice

also the effect of autistic traits on society at large prior to/independent of autism culture needs to be studied. prolly is but I'm not gonna look it up I just think it's cool.

@hankgreen.bsky.social doesn't get enough credit for normalizing "autism voice" and making it seem cool and smart

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.

Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

Today is a day where the badness in the world feels so demoralizing. And I know I will feel better if I focus in the small things, and individuals trying to make a difference. But I wish some good things found happen at a big level. Idk.

So if you are around that age you probably don't have to worry. You will probably live another eight or more years. Just remember that things like stress and obesity reduce your expected lifespan.

There is a greater than five percent chance for any given seventy-nine year old man to die before turning eighty. Around six percent the year after, then closer to seven the next two. Fun facts.

Parliamentary system looks better on paper but in practice that just gives us PM Mike Johnson. A big improvement, but I'd rather shoot for electoral changes like multi-member districts.

"Majority vote in both houses"? "Electoral consequences"? Sorry, I never took HIS 105 Government in the Anciet World. Seemed lame.

"You'll never get Congress to support…"

Wtf are you talking about? This isn't 1805 all you need is 1/3 of the Senate to be unwilling to punish you and you can make any law you want by Executive Order.

The way the founders intended.

So. Um. What the hell?

Fuck the Epstein class.
Give people labor rights.
Give people civil rights.
Democracy good.

That's what I stand for, basically.
