This, too, is trying to shoehorn our current problems into what is, and I mean this as a genuine descriptive term, a Marxist framework. Culture matters! Having a culture of liberal pluralism is something to defend on its merits, it's not just an empty distraction from economic class consciousness.
"They want to take this mantle of culture at the end of the day though, is you know it is very thin. And so, the response that we have to have is, again, it's material, it's class based, it's common interest."

The moment is adorable, but the next moment (which you have to imagine) is potentially hilarious. These photos were captured with the help of copious amounts of flash powder which is basically setting fireworks off indoors. Let’s just say the C&C warning had not yet been invented…

Hey @moderation.bsky.app why isn't Kyle Clark verified yet?
The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.
After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

I stand at the nexus of this dichotomy. I’m a musician and I fix gear for musicians and producers, who are going to get clobbered because most people don’t give a shit if the background music at Walmart or the jingle they hear on the 10 second preroll ad is AI. Also, it sometimes helps me do my job.
A key challenge, and a huge source of the disconnect between Silicon Valley and the other creative industries is that, for coders, AI eliminates the drudgery so they can focus on the creative/expressive part. In every other creative discipline, it has the exact opposite effect.

given education polarization and MAGA's reliance on low propensity voters, something like the SAVE Act would almost certainly backfire on republicans (i'm reasonably sure senate republicans understand this too)
i'm against barriers to the fanchise but it would be extremely funny if the republicans enact barriers to voting and nuke their voter base
Been toying with the same thought. Pointless barriers to voting pitched as a solution to an imaginary problem are a bad idea in principle, but Republicans seem very sure it will help them on net, and that’s not really obvious to me.

I think republicans should be warned that we will go after red states and districts if they don’t rein in their guy. And we will be going after the law breakers in any case.
Donald Trump is playing politics yet again with your money.
His decision to block funding rightfully coming to our state comes at a real cost to our economy.

There’s a whole baby cannibalism conspiracy involving Epstein, Barak, and the Mossad making the rounds in the pro-Palestinian crowd right now. Straight up QAnon shit.
An issue with the Epstein files is that the FBI interviewed a lot of people after Epstein died, and some of them were cranks who said things like “He sounds like Mossad to me” and now people can be like “Epstein was Mossad, it’s in the Epstein files!”

Sen. Hickenlooper tells NOTUS he wasn’t involved in purchasing the Uber stock and hasn’t been involved in such decisions for more than 20 years. He also says he hasn’t set up a qualified blind trust because he doesn’t really understand what it is.

I don’t think that’s true? Biden’s border crackdown came too late to have enough effect to change the narrative. When we had to close down all of our rec centers in order to pay for hotel rooms for refugee families who were bussed into town in the middle of the night with no coats, people noticed.
really interesting to me how many professional political commentators have basically retconned the draconian immigration enforcement policies of Obama and Biden out of existence and have completely swallowed the right wing narrative of immigration enforcement

While it would be ideal to geoengineer our way back to less climate-driven thunderstorms, methinks it might be time to engineer better roofs.
Colorado is one of the most expensive states in the country for insurance, and the hail that regularly batters roofs, cars and crops is a big reason why.

When we eat, we emit shit. Therefore shit is not a pollutant. Furthermore, plants eat shit as fertilizer, and then we eat the plants. Just eat shit, everyone, it’s the least you can do for the environment.
