@whstancil.bsky.social I don't think you're a bad person but I do think there are a thousand other people who are more deserving of the platform you use to exclusively cry about being a victim while telling everyone else to stop complaining

cnbc.comThe rise of 'income stacking': Why Gen Z is juggling multiple jobsThe percentage of the workforce holding multiple jobs has been rising since 2020, reaching an all-time high last fall. “Income stacking” is popular with Gen Z.

I mean we can debate today’s labor market, but we’d both agree Biden’s was phenomenal (the best ever?) and the one constant is that people have been miserable about the economy continuously from then to now. So it doesn’t really seem like people care care overmuch about the labor market I guess

I love that the right always used homeless veterans as an excuse for why we shouldn't be giving other countries money but now USAID is abolished and Trump hasn't done shit for those veterans but the right just doesn't care

I don't believe any Trump supporter is actually a Christian. Theyve gotta be atheists bc I would NOT want to meet the big guy after a decade of supporting the cruelty and evil of Donald Trump

when democrats are out of power, they fundraise off republican horrors but do nothing substantial to stop or slow them. when democrats are in power, they normalize the new status quo and quietly build the infrastructure that republicans will use for their next round of horrors.

Come on guys, it's my birfday. I'm just a little guy, come on

BREAKING: Former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor put out a statement regarding his arrest “Today is my birthday and I'm not asking for anything, I am definitely not asking for forgiveness. But I would like to explain my actions. Again I am not asking for forgiveness but a little understanding.”

the primary reason rightwingers will never control culture is because everything they do is hinged upon it being a reaction to the broader culture. the TPUSA half time event would not exist without it being a representation of their grievences

The right will never be anti-war because they are nationalists. Meaning, the nation is such a core part of their identity that when the nation uses force to subjugate another, it makes the conservatives themselves feel powerful even though they have not and will not benefit from the US' belligerence

Fascists are historically very stupid people. They are, by definition, unexceptional people. That's why they're so insecure and feel the need to oppress those groups they feel they are in competition with

Despite what the right might say, both sides know what's going on. We all know Trump is trying to make the US into a fascist dictatorship. The right wants it to happen and are going to play dumb to help prevent the kind of nationwide pushback that would topple a fledgling autocracy

BREAKING: Staggering scenes as brave Iranians stand up to their illegitimate government in Tehran... um, hang on, I'm being told this is actually Minneapolis. Forget I said anything...

The right may try to justify the ICE officer's actions but in reality, they don't care if it was justified or not. They like that he shot that woman and hope it happens to more people. Hell, he could have pulled her out of the car and put a bullet in her head, and they would have been fine with it

Trump supporters are never debating you in good faith. Their goal for any political discussion is never to find the truth. They see themselves as Trump's personal defense attorney in that they don't really care if Trump actually did something wrong. They just want him to get away with it

my daughter's preschool shares a building with a church, and once a week, that church has a farmers market type thing where they give fresh vegetables and food to folks in the community who need it. if that is the stuff American churches primarily did, things would be way more chill.

Dude’s out here describing capitalism

The main distinguishing factor between them is whether they killed untold numbers of people in advancement of totally inflexible ideology or killed even more people in the entirely self-interested pursuit of power
