The US invasion of Venezuela is a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter. Celebrating the capture of Maduro, Donald Trump went further, calling it an “attack on sovereignty” itself.
Countries the world over must work together to rein in the United States before it’s too late.

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

I turned my phone to black and white and I’m shocked how well it’s working to keep me off of TikTok. The ads do not work on me at all now. “Isn’t this lip color unbelievable??” Nope, cuz I can’t see it.

Question for those who may know, how often is it useful to call? I obviously left a VM today, but if I call again tomorrow will it also be counted or should I wait a few days before calling again?

This is a very good time to read Naomi Klein's "Shock Doctrine" if you haven't. What they are doing, why they are doing it, and the corrupt, vile world they hope to build has all been seen before.
And there ya have it…
Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

Ask not what your representative will do for you (nothing), ask how you can make your representative so miserable they quit their job
My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.
I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.
My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

I call Tommy Tuberville every fucking week, multiple times a week, because he can be evil but I don't have to let him do it without pushback.
So I don't need to hear excuses. I call the dumbest senator in the country. 😂

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

I’m reading “Amusing ourselves to Death” and I worried that for a 40 year old book, the idea wouldn’t be as salient in our short form video media landscape, but holy shit is it ever.

I've always had a problem concentrating on things that most people find enjoyable, I usually have to doodle when I watch tv, but the one thing that does unfortunately work on my monkey brain is short for video. It's an addiction and I mean to break it this year.

I’ve been following a Substack of a girl who says she has no friends and nobody comes to her parties, but I host all the time (partiful says I’m in the top .03% of hosts) and I can reasonably expect maybe 40% of guests RSVP and then like half of those ppl actually showing up.

I keep seeing posts from people who have stopped hosting parties because their guests are rude, don't say wether or not they will be attending and don't bring anything to the party. I think it's a generational thing because what do you mean you show up empty handed??

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.
"I can't afford a visual artist"
So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?
Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.
