The recent surge in return to office across all sectors is simply execs and commercial property owners (who spend most of their work week away from their desk) turning the screws on workers for power trips and rent. AI and Trump set the stage for a death blow against the middle class.

I like that DMX is old enough, and his song “X Gonna Give it To Ya” from early enough in his career, that while his music seems entirely of the modern era, he refers to people as “cats” like he’s James Baldwin.

Flight of the Conchords’ “You Don’t Have to Be a Prostitute” is a perennial favourite of mine for the bit of stripping subtlety completely from its source material of “Roxanne.” It’s funny.

Had the morning off. Wife had an appointment but family GP cancelled. (A very Luigi Christmas to the healthcare privatizers).
Anyway, I got to thinking how the term “piss play” (“pisse pleie”) would very likely be understandable by a speaker of Middle English in the 1200s. Very funny.

A call to action for Jimmy Kimmel to make even more incisive jokes. For JoJo from Jerz and Jeff Tiedrich to use the f-word even more. For the average citizen to divert all power to the shields on their echo chambers.

Weird coincidence, but Abraham Lincoln was shot at a Dead Kennedys concert while John Kennedy was shot at a Linkin Park concert

I had never heard Kendrick until this Not Like Us business and he sounds like a cartoon character but it beats being Drake and putting on a Latino voice to rap/sing when you speak like a white guy from 90s Toronto.

To be honest I don’t really care about anyone’s Spotify wrapped, because I am not cool and don’t know many musicians, so it doesn’t tell *me* anything about you. But if you want to tell me about your emotions or visions of the future, I will happily witness and validate them with you.

Thinking again about the use of the Emergencies Act for Freedom Convoy and how hard it was to get cops to stand up to right-wing agitators.
Through the 20th century, when our gov’ts wanted to stop troublesome left-wing figures, cops+feds happily subverted and killed them without special motivation.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

This isn’t a popular Johnny Cash opinion but I think after Highwayman he should’ve done a lot more songs where he flies a spaceship

I like that Bluesky still has the Slava Ukraini warpig militarists because that’s a good progressive liberal proxy war we should believe in and never stop talking about how awesome it is.

Are YouTube ads doing AI facial recognition now? Searched for Slavoj Zizek and was transparently recommended this Audible ad with Stephen Fry looking like Zizek “since you searched for Slavoj Zizek.”

Pokémon Gold is still the “new” Pokémon game in my head. Brutal. Throw me in that weird machine in Cinnabar lab because I am a fossil.
On this day in 1999, 25 years ago, Pokémon Gold & Silver were first released.
These games started the second generation and had you travel through Johto to defeat Gyms and defeat Team Rocket before heading back to Kanto!

Charmed by Elaiza Santos’ as lead singer of Crying and the sole member of Whatever, Dad. Spent 30 minutes last night trying to find any trace online of her creative output in the last few years. A digital ghost. Searched for content from past year and it’s only tangential mentions of old work.

Since my feed is clogged with American politics slop, I’ll complain about it for a sec.
I’ve seen dozens of engagement bait posts claiming there’s no “mandate” for a candidate with less than 50% of votes.
In so many ways, I think making the mental space for a viable third party would save America.

This is funny, in a grim way. I remember seeing an email *several* years ago where UK finance c-suiters were being encouraged to buy farmland, and entirely for tax purposes. The capability of 1%er capitalist malfeasance to fund its own PR and damage control is almost unbeatable.
Clarkson is the person farmers should actually be angry with. By piling into farming as a tax dodge, he and other greedy millionaires brought this on.

Had a car and no dog for 24hrs so crammed in two boxing classes. In the girly Sunday evening box+meditation I felt I had the makings of a decent boxer. In the Monday 6AM all-boxing class, dudes 8 to 12 inches taller than me were dancing around the bag and landing furious, noisy flurries of punches.

The vast majority of the population are human beings people with similar core needs and wants. If you internalize and preach that half your country are idiots, misogynists, racists, commies, or groomers for voting differently from you, you’re misidentifying the problem and being kind of an asshole.

The situation for Ukraine is looking bad with Trump coming into power.
Inspired by the Tyson vs Paul fight tonight, I am looking for help organizing the Jimmy “Mr. Beast” Donaldson vs Vitali AND Wladimir Klitschko boxing match to raise money for the war effort.

I have not heard of this highwayman you speak of, Brodrick the Disclaimer. While you may think I am him, any similarity to a wanted bandit, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

It is unacceptable to call the police because you’re scared of how a poop is going to turn out but STILL PEOPLE DO IT - and this speaks to simple ignorance, a lack of education. Anyone who did such a thing only once doesn’t deserve condemnation, and especially not a $220 fine. I can’t pay that.
