We literally all need to be taking the entire day off work and going like this all day to prevent landlord fix-it guys from ruining something in the apartment

Aaaaand I owe them $30k for a masters degree and the more they do this the less likely I’m ever gonna pay that

“Yes, please. Allow me to dig or fill holes for my fellow man. I will be glad for it.” It lets me tell them I love them without it getting awkward and personal

The new hotel pic from The Shining

I think my boss is like exactly 45, so that’s why I find his behavior so mind boggling.

I have heard stuff like “you will have a target painted on your back with Mamdani as mayor.” Like no, I think people’s inability to check their privilege (you can be both privileged and oppressed — intersectionality), and being Judaism now being cast as culturally reactionary, is far worse for us

I think my boss, who is an Ivy League educated reform rabbi, has been trying to get a confession out of me that I voted for Zohran. My dad told me to lie and say I voted for Cuomo if pressed

Just talked in person for the first time since June with my dad. I was avoiding him for months because he kept sending vile anti-Zohran emails to me and his friend group. I think I would describe him as a left leaning artist and anti capitalist who is definitely not observant, just CNN pilled.

The “build more housing” we deserve

So this is really a problem of media coverage – and it will have downstream effects throughout society, even though he's supposedly just talking about himself. I bet there is some better, more critical coverage out there, but only slop like CNN is unpaywalled

Of course, the "altruist" acting totally in his own self-interest – disappointed but not surprised

I saw a doctor I can recommend but I literally can't go back to him for re-evaluation because I switched insurance to get the mouth guard he prescribed, and now he's in the NYU Langone system, my greatest barrier to medical care. F

Also, of course, the idea of Bill Gates saying there aren't enough resources for anything is laughable.

Climate change and hunger also require reeeeally different interventions. Ending hunger is a matter of making sure the right stuff (food and crops) is in the right place in the right time. Climate change is a massive research project that in the Good Timeline could have been our "new space race"

It feels like the last 30 years of US politics on a grand scale, with so much energy spent on putting out fires that there is no progress, and the whole zeitgeist continually slides backward.

It’s the blockchain company, not the plant milk

Losing all capacity for critical thinking and giving everyone aphantasia too

I hadn’t heard much bad news from Apple in a while so a little startling to see them on a “donation to Trump” shortlist.

Disappointed but not entirely surprised, they’d been laying low with their bootlicking for the past year. Didn’t think I’d see them on a “donation to Trump” list (what a concept) while people are losing SNAP benefits in a week, though.
