All the cool kids are cancelling their streaming services and instead putting that money into smaller organizations, with ethical business models, that more directly touch their communities and lives.

So this Black Friday, skip the algorithmic “deals.” Instead, buy the zine from that artist you’ve been meaning to support. Grab a book from the shop with the creaky floorboards. Get the weird, wonderful thing you didn’t know you needed from the Etsy seller who hand-paints each one.

The pressure to take drugs as a teenager was really overhyped, but it has NOTHING on the pressure to eat 100g of protein daily in my 30s.

Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.
We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

Power and ultimate control. Canceling late-night shows. Silencing the press. Threats of war against U.S. cities. Using force against peaceful protesters and journalists. Now Trump is demanding Bondi prosecute his political opponent.

Building the internet, in and of itself, was inescapable given technology's progress. Allowing it to become a signal equalizer for scientific fact & malicious gossip or outright lies, that was more preventable. Turning the "town square" over to for-profit entities, yes. That was completely idiotic.

One of the things I enjoy the most about catching this puppy mid-theft is asking him whether he's stealing something, because despite having disadvantage on his deception checks, he's always willing to try it anyway.
He has all the subterfuge skill you'd expect from an 11 month old puppy 🤣
