Socialism isn't going to work if y'all stay racist. It's not gonna work if y'all stay sexist. It's not gonna work if y'all stay transphobic. It's not gonna work if y'all stay ableist. Everyone needs to constantly work on that for these systems to work.
And we SHOULD because we want EVERYONE to eat.

"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.

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

With the federal regime making life more difficult for us in Boston and our neighbors in Canada, it’s important we make clear where we stand.
The people of Boston support our Canadian friends, especially those in Nova Scotia who we've shared a special bond with since the Halifax explosion in 1917.

Started reading the hobbit to my son. His eyes lit up when I sang the "that's what bilbo baggins hates" song and was singing it to his dad. He will be disappointed when we get to songs not in the rankin and bass movie.

i think about this way too much - how tech companies act vs. “legacy” companies that produce consumer goods, news, media or entertainment.
Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.
OpenAI faces 7 lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide, delusions

He doesn't have one trillion dollars. He's not going to have one trillion dollars. The company promising to give him one trillion dollars isn't worth one trillion dollars. It's not going to be worth one trillion dollars.
