Leftist (both cultural and economic). Born in Texas and still stuck here. I work in a bookstore and can't believe this is reality. It just gets worse.

Armus would like to talk to you about the male loneliness epidemic
Armus - from Star Trek: The Next Generation "Skin of Evil". A vaguely humanoid creature made of a shiny, oily substance - black, gooey and dripping. He is the embodiment of evil created by a race of aliens and left behind, alone. And he is really upset about it.

I make fun of Tidal's recommendations a lot, but this one is kind of brilliant AND made me laugh.
An image from Tidal saying - because you listened to "Free Your Mind... And Your Ass..." And has a picture of the album cover of the Funkadelic album by that name beside it - below it a picture of the the cover of Glenn Branca's Symphony number one (Tonal Plexus)

I was in the Sci-fi book club in junior high. Asimov's robot stories didn't prepare me for this.
The cover to the sci fi book club edition of Harlan Ellison's "Deathbird Stories". It features a black bird in flight with talons extended and a glowing orb.

Viewpoint diversity?
So we'll finally get some anti-capitalist, socialists, communists, anarchists, etc on the evening news and Sunday morning shows. Awesome.

facebook Open app Log in kxan.com/weather Jim Spencer 6h I'll keep my thoughts on that press conference to myself, but my phone is blowing up with friends asking me if federal cuts and hiring freezes contributed to this disaster to begin with. Currently at our local National Weather Service office, due to early retirement packages to reduce its budget/personnel and a hiring freeze there are: *Warning and Coordination Meteorologist position open (yes they coordinate Warnings) *2 open meteorologists positions (yes they are on call 24/7) *Hydrologist position open (yes, they project floods) *Electronic Tech position open *Manager position open So, I don't know you tell me. Look up Josh Hinkle and David Barer's investigation on our website. They've done fantastic, rapid work and are only just beginning. Michol Springer and 2.2K others 2.2K 454

Spencer Hakimian @SpencerHakimian Bloomberg is just straight up saying the government is lying with today's report. Usually one of the most measured and neutral desks on the Street. Wow. (Bloomberg Economics) -- OUR TAKE: June's unemployment rate fell - defying our and the consensus forecast for a rise - and payrolls grew at a decent clip. But we don't think this suggests the labor market is in solid shape, as the unemployment drop was due to exits from the labor force, while payroll gains were exaggerated by a Bureau of Labor Statistics model that seeks to measure the impact of business formations and closures.

Have to go to work today. Wearing one of my stealth anarchist shirts.
Wish I could be out with the people today.
Lower half of a man's face with a goatee, his shirt fills the rest of the frame. It is a yellow shirt with a line drawing of a goose's head with "NO GODS NO MASTERS" written underneath.

smoke-in-the-wind it's fun that Mormonism is based off pseudo-archeology and Scientology is based off pseudo-psychiatry. By that logic the big American New Religious Movement of the 21st century is gonna be based on... pseudo-computer science? filthburger = WIKIPEDIA Roko's basilisk

This was the bit that got me
A picture of text from Countdown City by Ben H. Winters - "As circulation improves over the next couple weeks, you'll start to get a persistent tingling, and then you'll need physical therapy to work toward regular functioning. Then, around early October, a massive object will strike Earth and you will die."

A block of text. All caps. (In red) Fascism is (capitalism in decay), revealing its core function: (maintaining class domination through force). When consent can no longer be manufactured, repression becomes the default. It is (the system functioning as intended).

It's a coup and you are still talking about prices.

Steven Dial: President Trump has been in the White House for about a month now. What concerns you the most? Rep. Hakeem Jeffries: Donald Trump and my Republican colleagues spent last year promising to drive down the high cost of living, but haven't done a thing to lower costs in the United States of America. In fact, inflation and costs are going up. That's problematic. We are ready, willing and able as House Democrats to do what's necessary and partner with anyone to improve the quality of life for the people here in Texas and

There are no votes he could withhold? No leverage at all?

Then yeah, he needs to resign.
