Guess what?
The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions.

We’ve turned meaning-making into a problem-solving exercise: Religion is good for social cohesion; parenthood is good for demographics; friendship is good for mental health. Everything is instrumental. Everything is part of a control strategy.

@atheopagan.bsky.social was a dear friend of mine. She was a brilliant and insightful, if some times cantankerous, philisophical sparring partner who really helped me get through a chromic illness that disabled me for much of the last year. I am deeply saddened by her loss and will miss her a lot.
I'm sad to inform many dear friends that Gab (@atheopagan.bsky.social) has passed away.
If you can spare it, please join me in helping their sister Amanda with funeral costs and assistance with emptying the apartment.
Thank you.

guy getting briefed on 'opération satanique': «excuse-moi, vi are se gud guys, no?»
40 years ago tonight in Auckland, New Zealand (July 10, local time), French secret agents—in an elaborate covert operation codenamed Satanique—used two limpet mines to sink the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior before it could return to Mururoa Atoll to protest French nuclear testing there.

Reading Copaganda by Alec Karakatsanis and just shouted out loud after getting to the end of this part.
![In addition to producing misleading social media, the Seattle Police Department's chief strategy officer used textbook copaganda tactics. For example, he provided research assistance to a former cop and current deputy mayor to write an op-ed opposing the changes endorsed by the department's own private internal surveys. A local journalist found that the chief strategy officer also appeared to ghostwrite a first draft of another op-ed for a Harvard scholar and business consultant named Antonio Oftelie, who later published the piece under his ownname during the 2020 uprisings.
According to internal emails, the chief strategy officer shared the draft op-ed ostensibly by the Harvard scholar with several police staff, saying, "Do you two want to play around with this a little and then I will send to Antonio." Upon seeing the Seattle police edits, the scholar responded: "Wow! This is fantastic at first read through. I'd like to work for you when you run for Governor! I'll dig into this soon and get back to you. Stay strong ..."
At that point, the team reached out to the police department's "di-rector of strategic communications," to find the best outlet to run the op-ed: "I like this a lot—how do we help him [Oftelie] get it placed. Times would be ideal." Neither Oftelie nor the news outlet disclosed the Seattle police official's role in the published piece. A month later, with additional behind-the-scenes help from police, Oftelie was appointed to oversee the Seattle Police Department as the federal court monitor in charge of the civil rights consent decree against it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:htqlqkynhupi6fw4c7x26qti/bafkreifcp36ukqjplwnuzb4phszca2winyyxo3vzcuzxli5ddz2bndnbne@jpeg)

I spent 72 hours checking the posting times of every Gazan account I saw fundraising. More than 2/3 of them were inconsistent with Gaza but consistent with Myanmar or Cambodia, where hundreds of thousands of people are trafficked into doing scam work under threat of violence or death.
and before you get hot under the collar about that statement:
it's 4AM in Gaza right now and I am watching two separate accounts post their gofundme in somebody's thread every 10 seconds.
as @rahaeli.bsky.social notes: it's 9AM in Southeast Asia, though.
people are being had. I'm sorry.

Here is how it works. The consumer takes the place of the worker in traditional populism, i.e the consumer is the virtuous downtrodden common man whose labors are truly essential unlike the degenerate [insert thing here]
It's tempting to see this just as an excuse to avoid paying extra money but this is actually at the core of how most consumer backlash movements in America work. It is, in its own way, an actually held belief

this served as an unwelcome reminder to me that max weber was in a polycule or at least at the edge of one through one of his affairs, else von richthofen (who was simultaneously involved with alfred weber, max' brother)
>adam tooze not so subtly implied that ezra klein was in a polycule
do you ever think about the immense psychic damage that the internet does to us on a daily basis

i think that the real proof that abundance discourse is just streamer drama people with postgrads is that it went off the rails basically immediately, like when adam tooze not so subtly implied that ezra klein was in a polycule as part of his criticism of the book
