I heard about a certain twitchy tech titan who claims to be a cross-country skier. Based on the interview I saw, he’s not skiing nearly enough. I bet a couple hours on my backyard Olympic trails would take it out of him. #nordicskiersarechill

You can be the most loving, compassionate person in the world... but... if you’re not actively guarding your mind...you will become desensitized to human suffering...in ways that are far beyond what you would ever consider acceptable.
They’re not hiding the brutality anymore.
They want you to see it.
They want you to get used to it.👇

Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us

This is spot on. Intolerance is the basis for so much cruelty and abuse. It is also boring, base, and ignorant. “The rules by which we live by.” Just be “normal.” - bah - the bane of humanity.
This is especially true for Right Wing Authoritarian personalities. They prioritize "normal" and feel safest when their choices are simple (or made for them) and conform to the group. That level of comfort is easily threatened. Liberals tend to like novelty and choice and difference. Good video.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?

This is criminal. Although we're a Capitalist country, it should go without saying that no one wants to live in a country where most of us are barely staying above water. This is quickly turning into the Gilded Age II. RESIST!!! VOTE BLUE!

Exactly 80 years ago this precise moment (8:40am Hamburg time, Nov. 30, 1945), German submarine commander Heinz-Wilhelm Eck and two of his former subordinates on the U-852 were shot by Allies in Hamburg for killing the survivors of a ship they had sunk. Pete Hagueseth needs to lawyer up immediately.
The Peleus War Crimes Trial
After sinking the Greek steamer Peleus in 1944, the captain ordered his crew to attack the survivors, three sailors survived and faced their attackers in a war crime trial.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

It's the time of year again -- time to do your holiday shopping from independent artists. It's more important than ever to support people actually making stuff!
If you're an artist or craftsperson of any kind, please reply to this with what you make and a link to your store and I'll share it!

Stop funding AI.
And AI is utter f*cking garbage. A proven source of disinfo and misinfo doesn't need to operate on a publicly accessible datacenter that kills the environment. They want to privately experiment with it more? Fine. But, f*ck off with the garbage public alpha test already. Stop funding it.
AI and those pesky data centers are screwing up RAM!
