Anyway. We are paying like hell for our car culture. Insurance, cars, car maintenance, road upkeep, the incessant road widening which SHOULD NEVER EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.
I do not want it. I want trains and public transit. I would GLADLY get rid of cars.
But here we are.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

all the AI slop out there makes me want the most aggressively analog stories out there. like I want a one-of-a-kind homemade zine someone tucked into a baggie in the hollow of a tree, and I want that zine to include a shitty hand drawn map to a treasure it may or may not take 30 years to find

Hi, I’m a website, product, or service you’ve relied on for years without incident. Great news: I’ve now been revamped with a mandatory AI component that makes me unusable.

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

There is a distinction that’s important between “I don’t care about the Epstein files because all the evidence that Trump is an abuser is already on the table,” and “I don’t care about rape and gendered domination because the only war is class war.”

The headline about Spanberger's blowout victory in VA--along with the Dems romping in the House of Delegates--is that transphobia really doesn't work as an electoral secret weapon. And this fact needs to set in, despite the dearest wishes of the most ossified members of the commentariat.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.
SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.
Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.
People need & deserve assistance
Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich
Be mad about that

One contribution I can make to the “is Graham Platner” working class discourse is that “artisanal first-generation oyster farmer” is a dog whistle to anyone who’s spend any time in agriculture that you’ve got 💰
