I don’t know, I just think “now that you’re suffering, I don’t like you, and now that you’re already on the ground, I want to kick you” is the ugliest part of human nature and the work of a life has to include recognizing and trying to destroy that impulse within oneself and broadly in one’s world

I would like to spend more time waking up to people I love and care about instead of waking up and spending as much time possible avoiding learning about whatever the newest absolutely insane thing has happened is.

i know it stings to come up with a plan for "twitter but for credulous tech troglodytes" only to have the great lord of the tech troglodytes buy the actual twitter and eat your entire lunch and the table it was on while the old and gay rats beneath flee to your half-finished table. but it's funny
personally i don't care what people talk about on here as long as it continues to be stuff that clearly pisses off the staff because they can't make money off it

there's basically two ways to create shareholder value
1 - make good stuff people want
2 - fire everyone who knows what they're doing even if the doors fly off your airplanes and make up some wild shit about how autocorrect is going to make it all better eventually
we are unfortunately in era 2

Democrats celebrating getting body cams for ICE is wild. One of the main reasons they exist is to create content of themselves punishing the foes of their racist, pedophile leader. Now my taxes are gonna pay for that too. Thanks!

Q: How do I unlock Sunglasses Macron?
A: It's very difficult to unlock Sunglasses Macron in the course of a normal game because it requires a specific and unlikely sequence of events. While default Macron is ruler of France, the USA must choose the monarchy path and then lay claim to Greenland.

Have seen many variations of this & broadly agree—but the part that struck me in the moment wasn’t “this is a microcosm for how America sucks” — it was “this is a microcosm for trying to behave democratically & respectfully of one another in a complex, evolving situation with things we can't know.”
i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

it's the same thing with the armed paramilitary squads prowling our cities. it's always been something like this for many black communities as far as presumptions of guilt, summary executions, and lack of accountability. possible the nazis may regret tearing down the last vestiges of civil society
