100% this.
The only surefire way to stop oligarchs buying up the things we love is to drop those things the moment oligarchs buy them & that requires changing habits and massive self-discipline.
It means going to alternatives that might not be quite as good or convenient.
It’s really hard. But there it is.

Same Supreme Court said Biden was overreaching when he tried to cancel student loan debt.

This Court must be reformed.

Tarantino is one of the worst actors to ever appear on film--unwatchable. Lillard is fantastic in everything. Twin Peaks 2017 is my favorite. I watch Hackers, Scream, and The Descendants just to see him.

These people read @stephenking.bsky.social and thought, "that's a great idea."

Yep.
The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.

Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

How much was Trump paid? Seems like the most important question.
It took dozens of special agents the best part of a decade to bring Juan Orlando Hernández to justice for flooding US cities with cocaine. Then, in a single social media post last week, Donald Trump set the former Honduran president free. on.ft.com/4oxBJ2v
