I'd never heard of Eugene V. Debs before! Upon a brief Google search, he was an American labor leader, socialist, and political activist. He was responsible for helping organize railroad unions, he lead the Pullman strike, and ran for president from a prison cell.
got to hear Bernie give a talk about the impact and importance of Eugene V. Debs in Terre Haute tonight, good stuff

Finally getting around to reading this book after seeing @balint.house.gov post about it, many months ago. Such a great way to provide a brief overview of tyranny and its history.

I read a quote that I desperately wish I could attribute that was something like, “is it gallows humor anymore if it’s the executioner laughing the hardest” and it’s something I think about constantly

The ability to meet and interact with others online as fully realized, three-dimensional human beings would go a long way toward creating a more empathetic, cooperative internet, according to sociologist @sushiaarushi.bsky.social
Is there any hope for the internet?
The author of the new book ‘Attention and Alienation’ wonders if the online world can ever become a place where kindness and human flourishing are the prevailing ethos.

Work requirements hurt poor people AND are a waste of money.
Arkansas spent $26 million on administrative costs for work requirements — and saw no increase in employment.
Georgia’s program cost $40 million in one year — 80% of that went to administrative and consulting costs.

*asks my husband to put lotion on my back*
Me: Can you put more lotion? I need to be lubed up like a Thanksgiving turkey.
Him: You need a balance where you skin still makes it's own oils. If anarchy happens we may not have access to lotion. 🤣🤣🤣
