This reminds me of how my friends and I in suburban Tennessee were listening to Nirvana's Bleach, a year or so before Nevermind came out, but only because we had one friend who read the music zines and turned us on to it. I just checked and...1989!

Is this a nuance of the gig worker issue that I don't get? Like, rideshare drivers want a lower wage because they think they will make more money through ancillary effects or something?

This is why, when I see the phrase "purity test" in relation to people's rights I just think you're a bigot. Just be honest and say, "I will sacrifice marginalized people for my own safety". (Also, this strategy will never work for you. There's a whole poem about it.)

Did anybody else have a good time at the No Kings march? Thought I'd share a fun pic I took.

Nevermind. The whole posts timeline of this account is pictures of cute animals and the replies are like this. I've been wasting so much time engaging with these trolls or bots or whatever they are. It really sucks. Anyway, I recommend block and move on.

This asymmetry in my timeline. This is the most ridiculous and obvious bullshit, but the very serious people just can't or won't address it.

Interesting. No posts about the wrongful arrest of Rep. LaMonica McIver for lawfully trying to inspect an ICE detention facility. Oh well, maybe if she was an anti-trans TV writer from another country.

I started Duolingo right before lockdown and managed keep going for over 5 years. But now it's been AI-ified, and also it really does teach you to be good at Duolingo rather than to be fluent in the language. I'm moving to Mango Languages (free through my library) and listening to news/podcasts.

His whole argument that the left decided getting covid is ok if you are marching against racism ignores one kind of important piece of the story. Can you spot the flaw in his argument in this picture?

I had an amazing view of one of my favorite drummers, Lauren Hammel of Tropical Fuck Storm. She is a monster on the drums, throwing her whole body into them. Literally saw her punch the floor tom with her fist! They are Aussies on tour in the US. Check em out if you get the chance!

Everyone knows Andy is a shithead, but sometimes it's good to remember how much of a shithead he is.
![A quote from a New Republic article: https://newrepublic.com/article/162000/bill-gates-impeded-global-access-covid-vaccines
"U.S. and industry officials paired old standby arguments about patents driving innovation with claims that Africans posed a public health menace because they couldn’t keep time: Since they could not be relied on to take their medicines on a schedule, giving Africans access to the drugs would allow for the emergence of drug-resistant HIV variants, according to industry and its government and media allies."
"Among journalists echoing this argument was former New Republic editor Andrew Sullivan. When The New York Times reported Sullivan was defending the companies’ lawsuit while taking undisclosed funding from PhRma, the industry trade association, Sullivan remained defiant in the face of evidence-based accusations that he was an unethical journalist. “It behooves me to say I see absolutely no problems with [drug industry sponsorship],” he told Salon. “In fact, I am extremely proud to get some support from a great industry.” It later turned out that Africans adhered more closely to the twice-daily pill regimens than patient populations in rich countries."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nazqfc62ahllzzmc4b3ipi4b/bafkreidarvhjepxtzht32klmyal5prs2w3vb2qhhvruwbrejsnz7jykcrq@jpeg)

He updated it. From "alleged" to "journalists have reported" for the cops. Still no "alleged" for the protesters. So, they revisited this and still can't build a parallel construction for cops and protestors. This is just the media culture. You are not allowed to report honestly around policing.

Someone alert this guy that Norwegian flags are regularly waved in Seattle. I'm sure he's equally as concerned about this as he is about Mexican flags in LA.
