National news is overwhelming and paralyzing but...

None of us are helpless on the local level.

Everyone can do something to make a difference.

Every little thing counts! City council meetings. Volunteering. Picking up trash in the park. Helping your neighbor plant flowers. Smiling at strangers!

The politics of punishment is for losers and creeps and we're throwing that in the garbage where it belongs.

The politics of care is for winners and heroes and that's how we're fucking doing things from now on.

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

I guess that's why they have to do everything by force.

cults do this, purposely create an outgroup so the in-group becomes closer. but that obviously doesn't scale well.

semi-serious question, do communists think being obnoxious online is part of their plan to ?? whatever? Step one is making everyone hate you, to pave way for the glorious revolution?

I seriously don't get it, it's like they actively do not want any kind of solidarity with anyone not like them.

see, the admin so delights in being evil that I can't tell if your seat neighbor likes or dislikes Miller.

you think that other countries SHOULD give Trump what he wants, because (you think) he's more likely to nuke them?

When Putin talks to a Russians he consistently says that they invade Ukraine to destroy the state and nation and correct the path of history. NATO and similar framings are just for the useful foreigners.

Pu spells out Ru's imperialist motivations for the war. He calls the conquest a long-held dream and historical destiny.

He beclowns those who insist NATO expansion caused the war. Let's see if anyone from the Mearsheimer fan club admits the claim has been falsified.

the point is that no one acts as if he will, whereas they tiptoe around Putin way too much

The way you know the "restrainers" are a bunch of morons is that none of them hand-wring about how the rest of the world needs to give the US everything it wants because we'll nuke everyone if they refuse

first thing I do when someone seems off is search their profile for "Ukraine" and I have an 80% success rate

I mean, I'm definitely not a finance guy. No one should consider this any sort of advice (except the "go outside" part.) Who knows what will happen. But I do not trust the zeitgeist on bluesky anymore. People think that things are way worse than they actually are for the vast majority of Americans.

Well this is interesting, re: the Qatar announcement. The story is dated 2022 but says "The Qatar project dates to 2017 when the United States inked a $12 billion deal..."

I don't know whether the deal is a good or bad thing overall, but the fact that it's not new or sudden changes the context.

I've seen zero coverage note that that plan has been in the works since 2017, which some experts say was during the first Trump administration.

I've been hearing "russia's economy is on the verge of collapse" every month for 3 years. If *they* are hanging on, despite waging war and incurring international sanctions, we are going to be fine.

Meh, I don't believe we're going to have a real market crash. People here were dooming about that in April and then about empty shelves in June. Everything is actually pretty normal. Go outside.
kevinlikesmaps.bsky.social
Awesome! I bet you feel better. I went out to lunch with my stepdad and worked on some tutorials this afternoon so my dooming has been minimal today.
