Late stage capitalism kills humans: “While officials are attentive to the needs of drivers, pedestrian deaths rarely attract attention. […] A third of those killed nationally in 2023 were found to have failed to yield to cars.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/int...

Note that the ROV (remote operated vehicle, a deep-sea robot) A-frame is deployed (red). It’s doing something on the seabed.

Just so it’s clear, Cook would be in prison if he lived in Saudi Arabia
Tim Cook, the head of Apple, is having a nice dinner with MBS, who regularly orders executions, including for tweets.
Apple hosts "a Saudi app that allows men to track the movement of their wives and daughters. In 2019, Mr. Cook said he would investigate the app, but it is still available today."

My mother sent a text today that was intended to be hurtful, and it hurts. I didn’t confront her — she would have denied all intention to be cruel and acted like I imagined it. Last time I confronted her, she played victim and told my spouse I’ve always been crazy. I don’t engage much any more.

regarding AC as a decadent, climate-irresponsible indulgence and regarding home heating as an essential necessity is unironically eurocentrism considering that one is objectively more emissions heavy than the other.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

The problem is that some status professions, like journalism, are actually load bearing. It doesn't matter if fashion houses or tv studios are just nepotism factories. It absolutely matters if the people covering the Presidency got their jobs because they were good at the top 10%er circle jerk.
