Legit the best thing any Dem has done to date in response to Trump and it happened because he cared more about serving his constituents than public polling about immigration.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Went back and forth with the OP - I thought I was cordial and direct, while he asked condescending questions like "do you know anything about china?" and "where did you study?" and "without looking it up, can you describe [x policy]"?
Then he blocked, and now he's sniping.

It's true that China has a relatively meager safety net by developed country standards. They prefer to intervene directly in the economy to reduce prices than spend directly on social services. Call it "supply side socialism."
Here's the thing - it works!

Somewhat embarrassed to admit my answer to this one is Trav, before Rodeo had come out. Small venue in Chicago. He was a good performer!
What musical act did you get to see in an intimate setting? Because it was before they got big or after they had their huge moment?

Major flaw of Threads is a basic tenet of a writing-based apps is you need a core user base of… writers. Or people who know how to write. This was key to twitter’s growth: journalists, weird twitter, comedians, people who can provide pith and insight not just Mountain Dew saying ‘new flavor ideas?’
One thing I definitely like about Bluesky vs. Threads is that Bluesky isn't wall-to-wall brand hell

Whenever someone asks me where I was during the 2016 election (happens more than I'd like) I love to mention that @pastaben.bsky.social was bartending that night.

This app needs more internationalism imo. Today marks the 75th anniversary of the Nakba—a world historic catastrophic event, the repercussions which are still felt today and shapes geopolitics— yet there's not one mention of it in my feed or What's Hot.

Like clockwork, the media has already dug up Jordan Neely’s criminal record—as if that’s in any way relevant to his murder, or serves to justify his public execution.

It's hard to tell if accounts on here are really who they call themselves or if someone else scooped the handle first. There should be a kind of verification symbol to designate noteworthy accounts, whose posts and replies could be prioritized accordingly.

My pal Roderic unfurled his mind-palace in this essay and I just had to share it.
It's about so many things, but I see it as an appeal for revolutionaries to champion a goal that many radicals push aside: making work joyful.

What is Capitalism?
Everyone is anti-capitalist now! Good. A question remains, though: What exactly is capitalism?
