I was talking to my friends a bit ago about how Elmo’s beef with Rocco might take it over Kendrick/Drake. Kendrick was surgical with his hate. Elmo lets the choppa spray in every direction when pushed about that damn rock.

One day Elmo is really gonna crash out on someone in one of these interviews, and it will be warranted 😂

I can get behind “Camp Kelly”, too, whatever makes it the most clear that Kelly Ayotte is sacrificing the citizens, residents, and guests of New Hampshire with her complacency at best (and villainy at worst)!

Seeing signs saying “Camp Ayotte” in re: the ICE Warehouse plans in Merrimack, NH and I gotta say…if you’re asking me? That’s just what it’s called now.

It's incredible how it was revealed that the anti-trans push over the past decade was concocted in no small part by a literal PEDOPHILE CONSPIRACY and the reaction of transphobic lawmakers, journalists, academics has been a shrug and a "well, we gotta
carry out the orders from pedophile island"

I wrote about the recent news around the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma. State Senator Trudeau said she doesn't know what else to call it than a concentration camp

It's also important to understand that conditions have been bad there for a long time.

Okay so this is true *but* not in the way most people think. Antibiotic overuse is not “I had five ear infections in a year so I took antibiotics five times this year”
It’s
“Farmers feeding antibiotics to chicken to make them fatter and more profitable” and “labs dumping chemicals into the river”

Although in fun news from science, in some ways antibiotics kinda are causing worsening disease as our overuse deepens resistance. There are people in hospitals right now dying of bugs which would have been treatable 20 years ago. Though something tells me this is not the point being made here

I hope things in our industry change for the better in the future. I will not allow anyone to feel this way again.
Sexism isn’t new in this industry, nor is it new to me, but during the last #DICE confernece, I experienced more sexism than I have in the 6 years I have been in games. Which says a lot because I was gamergated a few years ago. At DICE, I had men gawking at me, eyeing my body, licking their lips and snapping their neck to look at my behind. I was dismissed by several people, people assuming I am a student or someone’s assistant. I was not taken seriously or respected until someone vouched for me in conversation. This isn’t a new experience for most women in games, but I was painfully aware of it. Other women at the conference also were aware of men staring and eyeing me up, I confided in several people about how uncomfortable and uneasy it was making me. I have also had people try to make romantic and sexual advances towards me. I understand that is just part of the game industry culture for women but I am not interested in participating. I also don’t think that should be common practice. We are at a work event, please act accordinly and respect the women in this industry. This is my fourth DICE, and it will not be my last. I will not allow people in this industry to intimidate me from engaging with my peers and celebrating the people in this industry. I tell students and scholars all of the time to be careful and not allow anyone to harm you into silence. I figured it was time for me to take my own advice. I hope people see this and understand that this is an onging issue and something needs to change. I blame none of the organizers or anyone who works for DICE for any of this. They are all wonderful people and I see the work they do to make sure DICE is safe for everyone. The culture in our industry must change! I refuse to allow any one else to feel the way I felt at DICE.

Why are people always yelling at The Left, a group almost entirely shut out of public life, including mainstream news outlets. You are mad at people on social media. Get a life

I haven't encountered this too much (that I can tell!) but it's also more than zero, and I have a similar reaction to Rose here. As she says... it's just very bizarre to do a philosophy degree if you don't actually want to think and work through ideas. What... what are you doing here?

My guess is that the goal here is not only to punish the children for turning more people against ICE/DHS, but also to make news outlets think twice about reporting on kids' suffering at the hands of ICE/DHS, out of concern that doing so might lead to retaliation against the kids.

ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings.

Starting a thread of large lib accounts on here who minimize Covid/long Covid and in turn contribute to the stigmatization of people who still mask

(If you follow or reshare these folks, please reconsider)
Screenshot of Bluesky posts by Will Stancil questioning why more Twin Cities businesses require masks and suggesting masking is becoming a left-coded political signal Screenshot of Bluesky posts by Jamelle Bouie saying that vaccination and staying home when sick are public health obligations, but masking at all times in public is unreasonable and driven more by fear than rational threat assessment Screenshot of Bluesky posts by Michael Hobbes arguing that saying "during COVID" is ok given declining death trends since 2022, along with a CDC chart of weekly U.S. COVID deaths, posted on top of Arielle Duhaime-Ross criticizing the phrase as implying the pandemic is over

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

All it takes is the execs at a few key corporations/banks deciding that workers need to be put back in their place.

They have the power to MASSIVELY increase our cost of living. It took them less than a year to decimate our purchasing power and less than three years to drain 3/4 of our savings.

The economy we're in now is 100% a result of government/big business backlash to what happened between March 2020 and June 2021.

Workers got a little more freedom and secured marginal wage growth and they responded with an all out war on the cost of living.

This chart shows the impact of that war:
WSJ chart titled "The US Economy Depends More Than Ever On Rich People: The highest-earning 10% of Americans account for almost 50% of all consumer spending." It shows that the spending of the bottom 90% of income has lost almost 75% of their total savings since mid-2021.
