twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Another confirmation of the "everyone is twelve now" theory.

Patrick Cosmos @veryimportant.lawyer:
working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"

"I'm strong and want to have like fifty kids and a farm" of course you do. You're twelve. "I don't want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal" hell yeah homie you're twelve. "Maybe if there's crime we should just send the army" bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

This has to be the MOST cynical attempt to pretend individuals hold equal responsibility for climate change as corporations I've ever seen. I mean, who can say who's worse: tech billionaires draining earth's water and electricity for AI data centers or selfish people trying to breathe?

As explained by @juliusgoat.bsky.social ...

Excerpt from an interview with Andrew Moxon (aka @juliusgoat):

At the end what I heard expressed were three core lies, each of which rested upon the next. The first lie is that we bear no relation to one another; that society is purely individualistic-which negates any suggestion of the truth that we live in an interconnected system, and allows us to see the abuse and suffering and death of others as something that poses no threat to us. The second is that life must be earned, and profit is how you earn it-which means that some haven't earned it, and makes all abuse and suffering and death that a spiritually sick society produces the fault not of those who cause the abuse but those who suffer it. The third lie is that violence redeems the crime of having not earned life-which means that when those who are deemed to have not earned life are abused or harmed or killed, the violence is not only something that doesn't threaten our safety, but represents safety itself.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Imagine how cooked your world view had to be to label the capitalist centre right Democrats as "far-left"

Brandon Friedman @brandonfriedman.bsky.social · 3d

Here is Stephen Miler of the Trump administration targeting "far-left Democrat judges" and accusing them of shielding "leftwing terrorism." This was YESTERDAY.

@StephenM on X: The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.
