we should fix that.
The world's richest 0.001% now control 3x as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity combined.
56,000 wealthy individuals have more than roughly 4 billion people.
Read that back.

Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds
Data from World Inequality Report also showed top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90%

there was a time when, particularly with portraits, i was vexed if they weren't tack sharp. now, in the era of computational over-sharpening? i'm starting to warm to it as something distinct from phone photography, and i like it! #Lumix #LX100 #portrait #photography #cutie #partner

at some point, for gaslighting to be successful, the audience needs to eager, or at least willing, to huff the gas. maga's ideological commitment isn't to democracy, or even reality. that won't end with piggy. #uspol #politics
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing
BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?
GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

the 2020s have put the last spear through my hopes for class-consciousness becoming an organising political force. watching poor people scramble to fall for the same old propaganda from, objectively, the dumbest oligarchs ever?

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

i have newtonian cats who've offered no opinions on the superposition of their kibble, choosing instead to focus on a conditioned behaviour paradigm: demanding food at all times observably leads to more food. maybe not at all times, but that was likely never the goal. they win.
I have a quantum dog, she is both fed and unfed at all times.
At least that's her opinion based on her observations of her bowl at any one moment in time.

Every year now, when I go to Thorndon Fair, I have eerie flashbacks to walking up Tinakori Rd. during the lockdown and feeling like I was in zombie movie. I much prefer the populated version, even if the Covid denialism makes me wince. #street #wellington #AoNZ #photography

i'll be chuffed if Dems get the House back
What we need right now is a holistic, systematic rebuke of current Trumpian ideology & strategy : its betrayal of moral truth, humanity in general, & American ideals; its foundation in cowardly fear, racism, xenophobia & hate; its fraudulence, corruption; its foundation in lies.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
