AI kind of feels like the endgame of this bit Graeber described in the original Bullshit Jobs essay: these people have been so thoroughly cleaved from any sense of purpose that they resent those who have one. They hate artists for their skill and think poverty should be the price of having a calling

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

they are able to peel back the ACA because its a shitty half measure but if we had gotten real universal healthcare instead no one would dare touch it because literally everybody on all sides would flip out. one more reason why Democratic incrementalism and "pragmatism" is fucking stupid !!!!!

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.
I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Zohran Mamdani are all going to out-live Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Peter Theil, Bill Ackman, and most of the other oligarchs who have looted our political system for their gain.
And so are most of us.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

many churches during allhallowtide will remember & celebrate the "faithful departed", but i feel it important to note that those who are un-faithful, by choice or chance, can never stray irreversibly far from the love of God which draws them close, and meets us all at the end of our earthly lives.

Hope Is Not Optimism; Hope Is Defiance
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the enormity of the world’s pain, remember that hope isn’t a feeling but a practice—it’s what you do and what you invite others to join.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Some clergy are begging to be allowed closer to the detention center to perform communion.
"You are preventing our religious freedom," someone in the crowd shouts.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.
