I don’t think you’ll get a more “on the nose” example of blowback than a guy from Afghanistan who America trained to go around executing civilians in something called a “zero squad” who later moves to America and attacks the American government. Like holy shit what the fuck are we doing here?

It's got racism. It's offensive to people with intellectual disabilities. It's Islamophobic. Happy Thanksgiving from the president

will begrudgingly admit that i was wrong when I laughed at the absurdity of paying forty billion dollars for twitter dot com. It’s clearly had quite the return on investment for the worst fucking propagandists
'Small changes to the tone of posts fed to users of X can increase feelings of political polarisation as much in a week as would have historically taken at least three years, research has found.' 1/3
Small changes to ‘for you’ feed on X can rapidly increase political polarisation
Study finds that a week of political content can bring about a shift in views that previously would have taken three years

Made an incredible meal today, and way too much of it with a mess of leftovers. But I don’t have any sour patch kids and I will go to bed with a hunger I can’t explain.

The US federal government is openly warring against its own nonwhite population in a way no one alive has ever experienced. It’s not even getting to hide it. The overt bigotry is comparable to Jim Crow. And our pathetic, cowed, putrid political class just keeps pretending it isn’t even happening.

Me posting my feast day food successes on Instagram like “hate all you want I made a 15 course meal”
If my haters saw how I perfectly tempered six egg yolks to create a smooth and creamy custard their perspectives on me would change QUICKLY.

Settler colonialism is ongoing. Thanksgiving is a lie perpetuated to erase the crimes of the white colonizer and justify land theft. Enjoy your meal.

The distance between not making art and making “bad” art is a lot bigger than making “bad” art and good art. You will get better, but making the “bad” art is still a good thing.
I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

I do hope we learn the lesson is that you cannot unilaterally disarm, even if you disdain the weapon. The only way to obtain arms reductions is for both sides to be so terrified of the weapon that they’d agree to disarm to be free of the threat of it.

Which is going to be more damaging- obviously true pre-Presidential misconduct or obviously true Presidential misconduct? The immigration raids alone are expected to reduce GDP 4%… tariffs will add even more. If you’re looking for a job right now you know what’s happening.
We may be getting the Epstein Files in December, but they’re still hiding the Jobs Report, the Inflation Report, and the GDP Report.

the $140k poverty line is totally fake but does highlight that private childcare has become an absurdly large negative marginal tax on families with two wage earners with young kids

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

If you think social media memes like this are pushing sexist right wing hypnotism, just wait until you see Xbox live chat. Cuz a lot of these young dudes aren’t on X, they’re on Fortnite.

Yes!!! It’s also about how the response to the ecological crisis is based on kids from each continent teaming up. A truly internationalist vision.
