“How can you suddenly dislike art when you find out it’s made by AI?”
For the same reason I can dislike art when I find out the employees were overworked and underpaid.
Because I care about people.
You dipshit.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

I haven't been in the pediatric trans healthcare system since 2019 and I can barely look at these headlines without wanting to puke.
Can't imagine the fucking damage this is doing to trans kids today.

Very weird feeling waiting for the president to announce an illegal war based on total bullshit that they made up right in front of our faces on TV, almost like I've lived through this moment before

Things are grim, but I want to underline how powerful Americans' love for their neighbors is
I've lived in other countries during this worldwide far-right resurgence. In no other place have everyday ordinary people so loudly fought the disappearance of their immigrant fellows. Every action matters

Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

I’ve gotten a few replies like this today and I just want to point out
1. None of them have come from Palestinians
2. Violent antisemitism predates the existence of a Zionist movement, which began in Europe in an colonialist environment
3. These comments themselves conflate Judaism with Zionism

Tragically, Israel has done its best to ruin these Jewish symbols for everyone and brought danger to all Jews by constantly conflating the IDF’s barbarism with the Jewish people. That is unforgivable.

There’s a lot of talk about the Hitler youth types who are turning in their professors and not enough discussion about the ones who are feeling intense despair because they're going to school with the Hitler youth types and immigrants are being kidnapped and trans people are facing genocide &etc

AI kind of feels like the endgame of this bit Graeber described in the original Bullshit Jobs essay: these people have been so thoroughly cleaved from any sense of purpose that they resent those who have one. They hate artists for their skill and think poverty should be the price of having a calling

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

they are able to peel back the ACA because its a shitty half measure but if we had gotten real universal healthcare instead no one would dare touch it because literally everybody on all sides would flip out. one more reason why Democratic incrementalism and "pragmatism" is fucking stupid !!!!!

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.
I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Zohran Mamdani are all going to out-live Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Peter Theil, Bill Ackman, and most of the other oligarchs who have looted our political system for their gain.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

many churches during allhallowtide will remember & celebrate the "faithful departed", but i feel it important to note that those who are un-faithful, by choice or chance, can never stray irreversibly far from the love of God which draws them close, and meets us all at the end of our earthly lives.

Hope Is Not Optimism; Hope Is Defiance
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the enormity of the world’s pain, remember that hope isn’t a feeling but a practice—it’s what you do and what you invite others to join.
