What are we doing ?

Elbows up #never51
EXACTLY.

What is your job ?

ALL fields are currently RUINED by people whose job description is essentially “make profit”.

Mates, that’s not a job.
Jobs entail making stuff.

Art, Shoes, Drinks, Films, Batteries, Soap, Software…

Not “profit”, it’s like missing the forest for the trees.
"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

Bob understands my truth ; that we are the worse if we choose to act on our worse instincts.

People aren’t good or bad, but people act a certain way. There must be consequences, yes, but coherent consequences.

It’s a great video, very honest, and it needed to be said :

Not based on nothing.

If you forbid something in single name only you essentially:

1) Halt its propagation;
2) Use the name as a tag for just
about anything you dislike.

It’s basic fascism.
FBI Leader Crumbles During Basic Questions About Threat of “Antifa”

Well, this sure sounds like a confession that antifa’s designation as a domestic terror group was based on nothing.

This is L-I-T-E-R-A-L-L-Y how democracies are supposed to work.

There HAS TO BE an opposition, not to bar the way but to keep alternatives viable…

NOT to ruin the other party’s (ideally *other parties’* Eh) game plan — but to find the cracks in the armour AND ALLOW the BEST VERSION OF THE PLAN.

This video product looks at a Mike Grell created series originally intended for DC, but became a hit for two independent publishers. This is Starslayer. Which, incidentally, kicked off the careers of both John Ostrander and Timothy Truman.

Kenny is a hero.
There is a silent battle going on between people who think hoarding lost media so nobody else can see it is really funny, & those that think sharing lost media on the internet for free to piss those people off is even funnier. You will not learn of this in your history books.

Americans are letting their “elected leaders” get away with every last shred of decency.

30% of the country is absolutely fine with it and the rest either don’t care or doesn’t care enough to react.

It’s all online outrage and complaining…

Those protests are not enough.

You need accountability.
This is so messed up… Amnesty International reports that detainees at Alligator Alcatraz (and at another facility, Krome North Service Processing Center) describe being placed in a “punishment box,” a cage-like structure in the yard so cramped that people could not sit, lie down, or

Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.
Note how these awful people are getting exactly the exclusions of children that they demanded and *that still isn’t enough for them*: they demand everyone be delighted about it and kiss their arses for being brilliant.

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

Now "browsing" means Netflix compiles your recent watch history and feeds you more of the exact same thing. Or Amazon analyzes your buy history and gives you a list of 15 books with basically the same title. You rarely stumble upon something new or different by chance. It's eroding our curiosity.

James Bond supervillains threaten to blow up the world with their big laser unless you pay them a trillion dollars.

Real American supervillains embed themselves in the economy and threaten to cause a depression unless you subsidize their sex robots and the weird chatbots they use to avoid humans.
