a controversial opinion on the left inflected internet, but like Marx was just wrong about how history was gonna go and like we actually don't know what happens after capitalism, if there even will be an after (I think there will?) so all the memes about late capitalism always seem a little silly.

I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

Time travel priorities:
1. Give Jane Austen medical care
2. Save the Bronte sisters
3. Give LM Montgomery a copy of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings
4. Convince JFK that instead of military investments he should work on revamping america's power grid for tidal, wind, and solar energy

The Trump admin has decided it will no longer commemorate December 1st, World AIDS Day. Fed employees have been instructed to refrain from publicly promoting World AIDS Day through any communication channels, including social media, media engagements, speeches, or other public-facing messaging.

Of course, no one seems willing to hold him accountable. A judge in Georgia has now dismissed the last remaining criminal case against Trump, effectively ending any effort to hold him criminally responsible for trying to overturn the 2020 election.

We’re a little late to this, but we just saw MAGA melting down over a post claiming Mamdani is teaching “Arabic numerals” in public schools. We had to laugh do they not realize those are the numbers we use every single day? You really can’t make this stuff up.
