When I was young the grownups used to say, “microwaves cook food from the inside out.” Then they would eat their reheated leftovers that had cold middles and never comment. Anyway, these people now watch Fox News

Seriously: what is the play in this attempt to shame Americans away from taking *all* OTC pain relievers?
1) To get everyone hooked on opioids from Big Pharma?
2) To consign women to massive suffering during their periods, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery? AT HOME?
3) Both?

JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

This dovetails neatly with how as of today an anonymous billionaire or group of billionaires pays the salaries of the US military
the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.

I don't want to exaggerate or be controversial but it kind of seems like AI is a huge steaming shit taken on everything by techbrahs who are not fully normal or human
I don’t know if there’s a more perfect illustration of the utter fucking nonsense that creative pollution by AI will produce than this choice to illustrate the power of Paramount’s new “localization” and “customization” technology by face-swapping Brad Pitt into the lead role of GET OUT

This also reveals the lie at the core of this fascist takeover of our cities. If there were actually hordes of dangerous immigrants terrorizing cities, not only would Tech Bros be asking Trump to invade, Trump and his goons would insist on the invasion to “protect us”

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

I know this is effective only for us normies who live outside the Logan's Run Domed City of conservative media, but if you truly watch this guy - who it seems is the person running the president's domestic militarization agenda - it's pretty clear he's a psychopath who is, literally, hysterical

This thread is practically blowing my brain apart in its sheer flood of insights and yeah I would love to read that dissertation some day
Periodically I remember that I wrote a dissertation in 2015 (really 2014, it was mostly finished by then) where I was like “yeah the tech people want to destroy democracy because they’re mad about gender and think they can make a machine god”
