I can't help but think of this quote from Goodfellas when people say that the ruling elite will have to give us UBI when AI takes all the jobs:

"I knew Jimmy. He had the cash. It was his. It made him sick to have to turn money over to the guys who stole it. He'd rather whack them".

Remembering the late, great Junior Byles who was born on this day in 1948.

No one could sing about the experiences of the sufferer quite like Junior Byles. This is a beautiful song he wrote and recorded in 1977...

Following the Kent State massacre in May 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans thought the shootings were justified. The night *before* the killings, Ohio's GOP governor described the student protesters this way: "They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America."

The Royal Family the pinnacle of the Slave industry. How do the fuckers get away with the illusion that they're anything other than a global mafia

It's like this whole fucking planet is designed to be the psychopaths' playground.

Agreed to a threesome with my wife. Mid spit-roast, I decided I wasn't into it as she was enjoying the blow job a bit too much, so thrust harder to make it harder for her. Of course, I soon finished, so had to sit in the corner watching her nosh off for another ten minutes. Grim.

Fascists: we need ICE to cleanse the country of brown people

Liberals: why is ICE shooting white people, they should be deporting brown people

Communists: why does ICE even exist

Centrists: these are all extreme, i cant tell the difference

If you want to know how fucked the US is, just know the ICE agent who killed Renee Good is now a millionaire due to online fundraisers

Political democracy - where you get to pick your representative - is meaningless without economic democracy - where you get to control your own workplace and decide how the fruits of your labour are spent. If you have one without the other you are a slave in a political theatre.

Any man who can do this deserves to do so.

I posted this once and replies got a bit 'Science-y'' which in itself is no bad thing.

When white people start talking about how important it is for brown people to be free, you know that country is crawling with three letter agencies and collaborators

I don't understand how people can fall in love with ChatGPT and believe they have a special relationship with it. It's sycophancy is sickening.

If Maduro was a brutal authoritarian dictator, the US wouldn't have overthrown him.

ZOMG you literally just explained why MAGA worships him as the golden calf. It all just clicked in my head. They're worshiping... themselves. That side of America made flesh. That's why it seems so righteous and holy to them, and they can't see it how we do and call us the deranged ones. Daaaang.

Trump is the U.S. inside out. All of the hidden ugliness and secrets inverted to a proud boast.

He's our deepest shame, with overt pride. Our ugliness, paraded and applauded.

He's the Hyde of the American psyche - exposed and normalized.

He's deeply American. And America is deeply Trumpian. 🧵

Debbie Wasserman Schultz called Maduro's capture "welcome news" but criticized Trump for "apparently failing to notify Congress beforehand".

This is the neoliberal position in a nutshell: Substantively fine with regime change and imperial power projection, just mad about process.
House Democrat calls Trump's Maduro capture 'welcome news' as left labels it 'illegal'
Most Democrats are blasting the Trump administration after the U.S. conducted an operation to capture Venezuela's leader, Nicolás Maduro.
