I wish the legacy media would talk about the fact that almost no one under 40 can buy a house, insurance premiums are set to skyrocket, and most Americans are living from paycheck to paycheck instead of *checks notes* the finer feelings of billionaires.

Not to be controversial but I think we should use tools and resources to make people's lives less miserable instead of more

As a Jew, it’s fun watching the administration post Christian nationalist messages while also saying they are doing everything they can to curb antisemitism.
Here’s the U.S. government being officially religious in a country with no official religion.

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

Oh we haven‘t done it this year yet so for good measure:
- „Hallelujah“ isn‘t a Christmas song it‘s a horny Jewish song
- „Baby It‘s Cold Outside“ doesn‘t need anymore terrible new versions it never lacked consent it‘s about a horny woman wanting to fuck a guy despite societal expectations

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.

Care is the holy grail of automation. Because we need it to survive, but it's too labor-intensive to be profitable, even as it gets more expensive. And because we could make it a public good, but only by raising taxes on billionaires.

So, be *very* skeptical when they claim AI can replace care.

The White House’s insistence on using Sabrina Carpenter’s work and image to promote their crimes against humanity is also them appealing to their base, which already uses technology to try and humiliate and puppeteer the likenesses of women who have autonomy, success, and visibility in public

"No ceiling" results in what we have: a couple dozen psychopaths control several trillion dollars and the power has made them go stark raving mad. They are obsessed with using their concentrated wealth to punish the population and remake the country into a failed state and international pariah.
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.

Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

Listen. One Simple Trick™️ to make sure you’re anti-Zionist not slipping into anti-semitism as an American? Is make sure you’re as mad that the piece of shit murderer MbS is welcome in the White House & blatantly buying influence over the Trump family & allies & US policy as you are about ie AIPAC.

But overwhelmingly, with the exception of that little Appalachian family church and the Black Churches, the Protestants asked if she was a member, or hung up on her.

One pastor told her, verbatim: “Benevolence is for our members.”

Guess who was ready to feed a starving infant?

The mosque. They just wanted to know what brand and where to bring it. A Black church. A Buddhist Temple. A little family church run by a great-grandpa in the Appalachians. Multiple Catholic Churches.

A woman on TikTok did a very simple experiment:

With SNAP benefits paused, would churches give a poor mother with an infant who was starving a can of baby formula?

Spoiler alert: the Protestants failed.

Society will remain broken until we deal with this
Extreme wealth allows people to live in such a way that they only ever have to interact with others who cater to them.

That kind of king-of-my-castle existence breeds a sense of entitlement that quickly turns to hostility when wealthy people face even the slightest of pushback.
"When an off-camera female reporter... began to ask if there was anything 'incriminating' in the Epstein emails, Trump pointed a finger in her face. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy,' he said menacingly."

Tell me again how it's women who are ruining the workplace?

A few weeks ago I was talking politics with a local, highly straight, bartender.

All the sudden he said: “Well, I think a big part of the problem is that so many of the people who would’ve been our progressive leaders died of AIDS & can’t help us now.”

And I’ve thought about that every day since.
