Maybe god has been trying to send a message that he detests guns and he’s been doing everything he can to show you how awful they are…but still they persist.

I was just telling my girlfriend the other day that the old world is dying. And, my stars, the new world is struggling to be born. And now is the time when you meet such INNNNteresting monsters.

John Fisher is about to rip the heart out of the A’s once again by trading every player he gave money to to avoid a union grievance. I can only assume that whoever is still following them won’t notice because clearly they don’t give a shit about anything anymore.

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.

In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.

And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.
People on this app get really angry every time I point out that social media manipulation is a real phenomenon that we are all stewing in and that’s having real world consequences and I’m sure part of that is engagement farmers who do that manipulation not liking people talking about it

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

Here are some COINTELPRO-style tactics we all need to watch out for.

Note: *the people who do these things are probably not federal agents! They probably mean well!!* But their good intentions do not protect against the damage these tactics do:

Penny wise and pound foolish John Fisher could have had a stadium open in Oakland for the Athletics by now at a fraction of the cost it would now take to build one in Vegas. With the new tariffs and a cratering Gap stock he’ll never see it happen.

Tech is just making people
poor to chauffeur a burrito. Providing no value to society in terms of health or happiness or wellness. Wish these companies would just go away.

I need people to realize this is not a good deal for Butler or what a star gets paid. It’s something that looks okay as a headline and helps John Fisher narrowly avoid a union grievance.

Nothing says “welcome back to America” like human shit smeared across the window of our neighborhood breakfast place and being flipped off by the driver of a car who was most definitely in the wrong that almost hit you in an intersection. This country is depraved in ways it can’t even comprehend.

Please learn the lessons of the last time he was in office. Don’t fall for “resistance” grifters either. Begging for a little social media literacy this time.
Almost 800,000 people on here are following a totally-not-real account claiming it's a group of rogue park workers and who are now posting cryptic nonsense to make it seem like they're sending messages to the deep state. Also they're selling resistance merch. WTF are we doing man?

Some dickhead like Woodward is sitting on info that proves something like the election was rigged or something far worse and we’ll only find out about it via copies of the book they publish in some other country that gets smuggled between the barbwire fence that surrounds ours.

You kind of have to ask yourself why someone would do that to a country they supposedly love. You usually don’t systematically dismantle the entire infrastructure of something like that.
I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA.

The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

I don't think anyone is demanding that every person needs stacks of film, VHS, DVDs and Blurays but the fact is, owning physical media is the only way to guarantee access to what you wish to see in the future. We are seeing streaming getting yanked on a whim and it's only going to get worse.

You hope this administration brings about some great punk music? OK. Then what? What are you going to do with it? What are you going to do at all? Put on a record&quietly be mad or…Much of Punk is about YOUR participation. It’s at its worst when it lets you wait for others to do your talking&acting.

Listen, I LOVE the Stones and the new record was decent for something that came out after Some Girls but what a complete waste of an award. What is the average voting age/demo for the Grammys? Don’t get me started on that fairly interesting but completely uninspiring AI assisted Beatles track.

Before sharing anything that says “BREAKING” take like three seconds to look it up to see if anyone legitimate is reporting the same news. These random “resist” accounts are out here doing real damage.

also if you see a website about a “strike” or other large-scale protest, and they ask you to “sign up” by giving your personal information, DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR INFORMATION! they are almost certainly honeypots! and any that might not be can easily be compromised!

Quick reminder that if you see a headline from a source you’ve never heard of that isn’t being reported by anyone else, you really should do some due diligence before spreading it around as fact. There’s enough misinformation floating around already; no need to add more.

This is literally how they sabotaged untold domestic political groups and you can see it at play today amongst the online left. It’s hard to tell if the sabotage is intentional or if people really do just think this is how things should be done because it’s been going on like this for so long.
some really great tips here:
