It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

нямам проблем да е светло сутрин. да се става по светло е нормално и съгласувано с естествения биологичен ритъм на човека

много хора бягат сутрин. дори да не бягат, се налага да излязат сутрин, за да отидат на работа. по-полезно (и нормално) ми се струва да е светло в 8 сутринта, отколкото в 10 вечерта

лятото дните и без това са дълги, изтезанието да ставаме по тъмно поне месец есента не си струва само за да се стъмва в 22 вместо в 21 часа през юни. долу лятното време!

no, it's because he thought he was white to the white supremacists

абсолютно! по каква безумна причина се налага да ставаме по тъмно поне месец есента. ставането по тъмно е живо мъчение!

disagreement isn't yelling. your need to downgrade it is telling though

alamkara @alamkara.bsky.social · 11h

and that's your idea of impressive? monetising people's delusions?

more women support trans women than men do

alamkara @alamkara.bsky.social · 22h

no, it's that "redefining men as women", as you put it, would be a direct threat to men whose whole identity depends on feeling superior to women. if women are just people, not defined at birth as inferior and easily identified by their orga s, then how can men feel secure in their superiority?

yes but ICE are white and nominally law enforcement. in the US "crime" as a political term has been a racial euphemism for decades. not sure that would work

Along with directing an episode of TWIN PEAKS, Diane Keaton also directed four movies (one doc, three features).

I’ve only seen two: HANGING UP and WILDFLOWER. They’re both flawed but interesting and make me wish she’s directed more films. I gotta track down the other two.

Diane Keaton, Meg Ryan, and Lisa Kudrow in Keaton’s HANGING UP

Patricia Arquette in Keaton’s WILDFLOWER

Diane Keaton at The Schwab’s Pharmacy counter in 1983.

Farewell to one cinema's greatest legends Can’t believe we’ve lost her. Such a shock. Rest in peace Diane Keaton. “La-dee-da, la-dee-da” forever.

Video shows rescuers pulling a Palestinian boy from the rubble of his home in Gaza City. Israeli forces attacked the house on Thursday after the approval of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas.
