killing “get that bag” requires killing a social media culture that venerates aspirational and individual consumption while rebuilding a civil society that provides base levels of economic and social bonds with a soft pressure of shame and shared morals
which would be nice, but (gestures broadly)

We need to permanently retire "get that bag" and bring back the shame of selling out!! Sorry!!

NEW: City Council to consider cutting key committees (e.g. Arts and Culture, Renters, Older Persons and Elders) to silence citizens.
If City Hall doesn't work for citizens, then who does it work for? (hint: Ken's rich donors!)

Obviously my algorithm is tilting things a certain way, but I see almost universal disdain from humans on every platform. Over on Twitter, ppl are still lining up to dunk on the Suno grifter lady like she’s standing under a child’s hoop.
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

“As pickups transitioned from farm/ranch workhorses to lifestyle vehicles, their design shifted accordingly: Cabs expanded to accommodate more passengers, while beds shrank. The first generation of F-150s were 36% cab & 64% bed by length. By 2021, the ratio had flipped.

It's important to note, as I have multiple times, that it's possible to be Jewish - as I am - and still condemn Israel for genocidal acts. In fact, the history of Judaism makes it clear Jews are obligated to speak out. Never again *means* never again. #zachor
Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

Half a billion dollars for a police department that tells people to get off a public beach at 10 PM and that's about it.
Some breaking news: in a special Vancouver Police Board meeting only announced over the weekend, the police board has requested a $50 million increase to their budget for 2026.
This comes as other departments across the city are trying to cut staff to ensure a property tax freeze for next year.

Suddenly when puberty blockers are given to cis kids, the Daily Mail (the same newspaper which backed Hitler btw) finally admits that "their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal."
Which is true for trans kids too.

Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.
