Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

This is Flambo. He's using his talking dog buttons to accuse his small foster brother of being a cat. Nothing can convince him otherwise. 13/10 for both (IG: flambothedog)

yesterday, work was blissfully easy and everything made sense. today it's pain at every turn and I've never been good at anything. The wheel never stops turning.

Obviously the closing point about how gamification makes the divide between work and the rest of life slippery is the big important takeaway here, but also, lol, lmao, i simply love to read about the gamer's grotesque urge.

I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

I said this before but Americans simply can not comprehend how much wealth there is. We constantly under project how much tax revenue we will raise from taxing the wealthy. The original estimate was $50 million.
Crowd reaction to Prop 1A raising $115 million in it's first year, more than double the initial estimate! @houseourneighbors.bsky.social

really worried about conspiratorial thinking being a self-reinforcing positive feedback loop. "A machine that gives people apophenia" is what a lot of the Internet looks like right now, because of entirely *reasonable* low social trust and anger at elite impunity

I honestly thought we'd be like 90% on average after launch, as we sold more and more outside the core market, but 🤷‍♂️
