Chuck Dixon created Bane. I don't bring this up to argue that creating that character somehow negates his current behavior, but to talk about a problem very prevalent in comics. And that is bigoted people making bank off the very marginalized groups they later demonize and discredit.

Yep, the ruling class has been this way since always. In the Victorian era landowners and factory owners were unregulated so they just worked everyone to death (literally). They scoffed at the idea that working people should have leisure time. They believed the "lower" classes had no intellect.
remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears
2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.
My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

Going to point to this article and thread again for the people coming into my mentions to tell me Newsom "gets a pass" because his social media's teams dunks are the pinnacle of resistance. You might want to read more about his policies before insisting we all genuflect.
This is all because @gavinnewsom.bsky.social thinks Medi-Cal has a "spending problem" and he thinks taking resources away from the disabled and elderly is the solution. He wants us to live on less than $2,000 a month. In the state of California.

Elderly and disabled Californians with $2,000 in assets could lose Medi-Cal
Health advocates say the Medi-Cal asset limit would keep people in poverty while California Gov. Newsom says it's essential to reduce rising costs.

His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority.

Just pick the one or two issues/things you know and care about and join the people who are doing practical things to help.

going into conversations about anticarceral work with the bad-faith assumption that abolitionists have no plans or ideas beyond "open the gates" is not the fantastic gotcha some of y'all seem to assume. You're really just showing your own ass at that point.

Lia Thomas did nothing wrong. She followed the rules and competed fairly and honorably. UPenn's leadership are cowards.
