the ponzi scheme is the cornerstone of american capitalism
You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

a thing nobody really tells you when you’ve spent most of yr life dissociating is that when you get to the point of healing where you’re not dissociating anymore you sort of have to learn how to do life over again with new healthier coping mechanisms, and that’s … a lot

The only truly irreversible thing a trans child is likely to do is take their own life. "What if they do something irreversible?" actually means "theyre not allowed to make a decision!"

AirBnB CEO calling it “vibe revenue” just 👨🍳 😘
The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

The systematic demolition of communities in the West Bank by Israeli settlers and forces is a travesty.
In Umm Al-Khair, erasure seems only a matter of time
With demolitions looming and settler violence escalating, our community faces a coordinated push to break our spirit and uproot us from our land.

Maybe the single most destructive, stupid, and dangerous piece of domestic policy put forth in the 21st century
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

They know how to end it, but they decided not to spend the money. They’re prioritizing growth (and profit) above all else. And they’re blaming YOU for logging on to the platform they designed to be unsafe.

it’s really cool that local governments and police departments all over the country have thrown millions of dollars at license plate readers and ai cameras without one ounce of critical thought about why that might be a bad idea
New: cops used Flock AI-enabled cameras to monitor No Kings protests around the country. Also monitored No Hands protests and protests against DOGE.

Cops Used Flock to Monitor No Kings Protests Around the Country
A massive cache of Flock lookups collated by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) shows as many as 50 federal, state, and local agencies used Flock during protests over the last year.
