Yeah, I'm quitely commenting on @democrats.org messaging about "cuts to healthcare" that there's no actual healthcare being cut.

What's being threatened is handouts to their donor class, insurance companies. Which we're hostage to because they won't do single payer.

Healthcare is not insurance.

There are two major dangers:

1) You lose the skillsets. Remember the petroleum pipeline debacle when ransomware locked it up and they were like "LOL get the guys with the wrenches" and they were all gone?

2) Algorithmic compression. Feedback loops flattening things. It all sounds the same.

This is all by design. "Pay people a little bit less, hike the price a little bit more" eventually the disparity gets to a cracking point.

"Just lower rates" "can't, inflation".

Oops.

I've seen him in just about everything and yes he is amazing BUT HE IS INCAPABLE OF ANYTHING BUT SHOUTING AND BEING BIG AND SHOUTY

Didn't she, after telling everyone to throw most of their stuff away, change her mind and say its the little things in one's life that gives one joy?

Jack Phantom @jackphantom.bsky.social · 1d

Oh, I didn't realize you were a Democrat politician.

Jack Phantom @jackphantom.bsky.social · 1d

True that, and thanks! To be put alongside Ninja Tune's DJ Shadow is a huge compliment, thank you.

How lazy is it to say "okay so I'm going to be paid a blasphemous amount of money to stand there and say "it's so and so"" and not take 2 minutes to go over names to make sure you know how to say them.

"Enh, wasn't worth my time to respect you. What movie were you in again?"

Jack Phantom @jackphantom.bsky.social · 1d

When Ryan Seacrest asked Quvenzhané Wallis if he could call her "Miss Q" or "Little Q" and she said no... I mean, Ryan, your entire goddamn job is to say people's names on the red carpet.

That would be like me taking a job as a waiter and not bothering to learn what we serve. "Could be steak?"

First I've heard of them, or "Handsome Boy Modelling School" NGL.

"We were just calling to see if you had any questions..." no, you were calling to sell me something.

Be honest.

Support an artist: if you make stuff that doesn't use clankers, buy a sheet of these and stick them on your stuff.

Aimee Cozza Illustration @aimeecozza.com · 1d

Good time to share this again. You can make these yourself BUT I also just make them too. It's a label sheet with 72 little tiny 100% human made labels on it. They're $2 a sheet and I'll make you as many sheets as you want: shop.aimeecozza.com/product/100-...

A hand with a tiny black and white sticker on the finger that says "100% human made, no AI used" with a sheet of them behind it.

He’s waiting for someone to come to him with a half price offering with some kickbacks he can call “Trumpcare”

They're not pivoting right because they think the voters want it

They're pivoting right because their donors want it.

That's not disco, that's industrial music. I mean disco.
