One of the most reliable benchmarks I have ever encountered for judging the character of someone has been: how they treat their furry frens. People can be consistent fuck ups in just about every other way, but if they take good care of their fren, I'm gonna think "jury still out on that person".

Normally I'm pretty receptive to stuff like this, but I dunno - guess it might depend on where you live. Here in Colorado, I'm still seeing lots of underground DIY stuff happening. Instagram as an (unfortunately) necessary tool of promotion predates the pandemic. We still rave in warehouses here FFS

Evergreen post, no matter the "conspiracy"
that’s not a rational thing to believe
if you start feeling like Only You Can See the Conspiracy AND that Everyone Can See the Conspiracy and So if They Disagree They’re In On It, you’re getting played, intentionally or not, by the psychodrama of being online

Our daughter started a family Delta Green campaign, and it's fairly hilarious to see my boardgame-loving-but-new-to-RPGs (this will be her first RPG playthrough) queen try and familiarize herself with the "i cant believe you can roll dice online!" nerd tools of Discord, d20-dot-net etc. 🤣

Mamdani was recently overheard saying "when people pay taxes to Uncle Sam" in a speech. An exhaustive investigation has revealed that not only does he NOT have an "Uncle Sam", this apparent confession has launched an investigation by the DOJ into what officials describe as "massive tax fraud".
Zohran Mamdani has on multiple locations referred to groups of people as his "fam." The CNN investigative team has conducted DNA tests and our shocking results reveal that there are ZERO ties to the Mamdani bloodline. As a result, we are calling on Mamdani to quit the race.
Just in: Zohran Mamdani caught calling someone "bro", but our investigation has unearthed the truth. This person was not, in fact, his biological brother. Why did he lie? Tune in tonight at 10 for this and more breaking news.

All the third term nonsense is intended to distract from the growing awareness that Trump has suffered at least one but more likely multiple strokes during his term so far.
"As long as people like Bannon are talking seriously about a 'plan' and as long as Trump continues to troll, talk of a third-term effort must be taken very seriously by everyone else," writes Zachary B. Wolf | Analysis https://cnn.it/3J9zRP4

This is exactly why they're pouring so much money into surveillance and policing. The AI data centres are being built to control and dominate us, not to help us write emails
Refusing to feed people while building a massive ballroom is a fast track to eat the rich. No pun intended.

Seems counterintuitive for a company that is dealing with major logistics issues and destroying peoples shipments because they can’t figure out the constantly changing tariffs. Then again I’m not a sociopath who makes their nut moving money from container to container.

Let's see, should we judge this guy based on a handful of cherry-picked, out of context posts filtered through the media, or thousands of posts made over a decade? Jacobin did everyone a favor, picked the latter, and came out with this
You’re Being Lied to About Graham Platner
We read Graham Platner’s whole Reddit archive. The vilification of the Maine candidate for Senate doesn’t square with what he actually wrote in his posts.

I feel compelled to state that although I do give into the temptation of snark from time to time, my primary interest in being on this social media platform is to engage in good faith discussion with reasonable people. Go elsewhere if you're looking for a fight or a negging endorphin boost.

The perfect trap isn’t one you’re forced into. It’s one you build yourself, one rational choice at a time, until you realize the door locked behind you and you’re holding the key but it doesn’t work anymore.

In retrospect, one of the dumbest things I've heard so many voters say is "I want politicians who will run the country like a business."
All our big businesses are predatory and elitist. They're run by assholes who keep producing shittier products at higher prices and pocketing the difference.

This is the way - but my advice is to check the blocklist carefully prior to subscription, some are run by zealots who will reply to a comment like "the Biden administration was halfway decent on antitrust issues" with "so what you're really saying is you support the genocide of the Palestinians?"
I have multiple times now seen people remark the volume of hatred they get on Bluesky for pretty anodyne opinions.
...Got no idea what they're talking about. I've never seen it.
Because I went through blocklisting follow networks of the most virulent dipshits on this website.

full employment + Covid WFH + BLM + MeToo broke the brains of so, so, SO many american elites
i think we are living through, in the US at least, a significant gender backlash and part of it is absolutely elite-driven.
Like… it's kind of right there, no?

I always love it when law enforcement appropriates the Punisher logo, not understanding that Frank Castle aka the Punisher, actually hates law enforcement and felt forced into vigilantism due to the impotence & outright corruption of law enforcement. He literally rips his logo off cop uniforms.
