MJ of Everything is Public Health Production

New car prices average $50,000, gas is at an all time high, and many Americans are forced into car dependency. In-office requirements are a tax on the working class.

Evil looks like this.

RFK Jr. is not even close to being done with destroying public health. Republican Congresspeople are 100% behind him in this effort. Vote for public health.

The death spiral begins

These people have cooked their brains to the extent that they literally cannot complete simple, normal human tasks without being augmented by machines which think for them. This is not a social improvement. It's a disability.

This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

Brazil should have barred the whole Bolsonaro crime family from elected office. You can’t give fascists another chance.

boy it sure seems like the main threat to democracy everywhere across the globe is right wing media and certain social media companies

One of the (new) clearest example of the type of cognitive deterioration happening to these AI people.

We don't hate racists enough

Deeply dangerous. This is a conspiracy theories magazine cosplaying as a scientific journal.

What's so striking about the original piece is how utterly incoherent it is. It's logical consequence of pursuing the "peer review is censorship" mentality that Jay has espoused ever since everyone and their undergrad RA pointed out that his April 2020 study was hopelessly flawed.

which adjectives reporters use to characterize stuff like this makes a big difference in how the public perceives the story. "Ruthless" is an odd choice given the reality of the story

people should be more pissed about this. it’s a corrupt death cult

A bit of a turning point. Creators of all types of media are no longer allowed to criticize America's wealthiest people.

The master's tool will never dismantle the master's house etc etc

"Right now, we’re living in Trump’s world, in Vance’s world, in Hegseth’s world. This is what a world without empathy looks like. It’s a world of constant othering, of constant rage, of a constant belief that life is a zero-sum game. But nothing flourishes in that world." — @snipy.bsky.social

LA has spent four years asking: Where is our mayor? When I’m mayor, you won’t have to ask. LA deserves a city that shows up for us. A Los Angeles that loves us back. Let’s go get it.

We don't hate the NYT enough lol

Evil looks like this. Evil is not one big racist person but rather these little racists doing little racists things everywhere.

working title for my latest

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

An acute public health crisis

If you pretend to die they will show up with 100 police officers, but if you actually die they will show up with 1 to fill out the paperwork.

its also pretty wild how the article concludes Remember: this is a description of a man fleeing the scene after ramming two cyclists and seriously injuring one

I find it appalling that there are some folks out there telling me to use "civil" language about RFK Jr & the MDs/PhDs carrying out his agenda (like Drs Bhattacharya, Oz, Makary, Prasad, Kulldorff). You know what's NOT civil? Kidnapping & torturing kids in concentration camps. They're allies in that

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Evil looks like this. Spineless.

there’s no middle ground position on this. either musk is forcibly rooted out of government infrastructure or every war proceeds at the whims and dictates of a generational buffoon

I wonder what type of regime encourages people to turn in their neighbors and family

Categorically evil. Definitively corrupt.

"Work is blessing, not a punishment" is sooo close to "work will set you free" This is such a twisted perspective. Be grateful you get to sell you body to survive. If you don't have a job, you're damned and bad.

The society these right wing people want to build is a fundamentally dysfunctional one, borderline dystopian.

Over 100 environmental leaders have signed an open letter denouncing Chevron’s support for Karen Bass and condemning Big Oil’s attempt to influence Los Angeles elections. Read all the signed names at nithyaforthecity.com/chevron

*screams into void*

being a southerner with a lot of queer/exvangelical friends means i’ve seen a lot of people cut their parents off. and in every single case, it was an incredibly painful and difficult decision to protect oneself from parents who abused or stopped loving their child.

Yes. The conservative scheme for education is a three-way split: high-priced academies for the children of the wealthy, religious instruction to brainwash the middle class, and a rump of prison-like public schools to discipline the lower class into obedience.

Centrism is diet fascism

Made a little video about my reporting on “Tommy” from the viral @abdulelsayed.bsky.social town hall

an important part of maturing as a thinker is realizing that malcolm gladwell is and always has been full of shit

Integrity looks like this.

it's the same thing with michael lewis. i didn't realize how full of shit he was until i read a book he wrote about where i worked. anyways, if i ever become a celebrity writer please take me out behind the shed and put me down

“i pay tax before, but still pay tax now?” We spoke with dozens of half-literate morons about the machinations of local governance. Here’s what they’re saying.

ultimately it's shit like this that makes the decline of birth rates and resulting demographic skewing towards old people self-reinforcing. Greedy, wealthy retired people voting to destroy the funding for public services they relied on throughout their life now that they no longer need them
