My friend Hani was killed in Gaza for the crime of trying to feed his family — and meanwhile, his family is still hungry and cold, in a tent that doesn’t keep out the rain. If you have any money to spare, it’s desperately needed.

This is narcissism masquerading as philosophy — the technophile elite are not recognizing a new soul in AI, they're falling in love with their creation, staring at their own reflection in a digital pool.
It is the ultimate in solipsism and has its roots in a pathological fear and denial of death.

jfc. It was determined by a US judge that she could not be deported to Sierra Leone due to danger she would face in the country she fled. So they deported her to Ghana, a country she had never been to, and Ghana deported her to Sierra Leone.

Gmail's "smart" email summaries are grievously wrong in ways that make my heart rate spike, like "confirmation" of me having charged seven movie tickets to my credit card rather than the two I actually ordered—yet there's no way to hide that feature! Turn this world off and turn it back on again!!!

It's true, I don't know what anyone on here thinks about pineapple on pizza, and I want it to stay that way
One side effect of half the world being in the throes of a fascist takeover is that comments like "turkey sucks" that used to lead to a 4 hour slapfight and approximately 135 blocks are now met with "well thats just like your opinion man" and thats progress

Finally some good news: a few weeks ago, anti-trans activists offered $35k to the next National Women’s Soccer League player who criticized trans athletes... except the league overwhelmingly supports trans inclusion and no one took her up on it. There's never been a trans woman in the NWSL, anyway.

Some top-shelf alcohol for her first legal drink at age 21 would have been an appropriate gift, but I can see how that might have felt underwhelming after having "lived together" since she was 18
Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats.
Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives.
You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵
