It's 2025. You can easily and cheaply set up a website for your small business so that people can know what your pricing, hours and such are without having to wonder if your facebook page that hasn't been updated in 4 years is actually for an open business. For fucksake why is this so difficult.

Hey, go buy a book from me or something. Things have been real bad lately.

This shit is hilarious. Jake Tapper made millions off a book claiming that the media engaged in malpractice by not doing more to throw Biden under the bus. Of course the reasoning behind that is it's assumed, despite evidence to the contrary, that the media is "liberal" an needs to police its own.

In April, I wrote an essay for @nymag about Trump's deportations to CECOT, describing how they mark the genesis of an international concentration camp network and rise out of the long US history of spurring extrajudicial violence under right-wing dictatorships in Central and South America. [2/5]
Trump and Bukele’s Concentration Camp
CECOT is no regular prison. It is also a warning.

Since we're bidding 2025 good riddance, I'll highlight a few pieces I wrote this year, most of which are about how to keep moving in hard times. First up is this Atlantic story about how joining Amway destroyed my mother and bankrupted our family. She could never let go of it, and I lost her. [1/5]

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam

The prequel discourse wasn’t great but the community did what it did by building spaces for it (anyone remember the basher / gusher message board guidelines?) But there was no such tools for just how weird the algorithm-driven discourse would become a decade later when these movies came around.

These clowns are just making up duties and rules and laws. Artists don't have any duty to sing for fascists, and only a fascist would try to force them to.
"Any artist cancelling their show at the Trump Kennedy Center over political differences isn't courageous or principled—they are selfish, intolerant, and have failed to meet the basic duty of a public artist: to perform for all people"- Kennedy Center spokesperson Roma Daravi
Kennedy Center vows to sue musician who canceled performance over Trump name change
The Kennedy Center is planning legal action after jazz musician Chuck Redd canceled an annual holiday concert. Redd pulled out after President Trump's name appeared on the building.

I wish our government would realize there is no country as good for billionaires as the US. Where tf are those idiots going to go? Europe? And be taxed into oblivion? It sure af won't be Africa as much as they hate black people. And those coddled bitches couldn't handle being minorities in Asia.
