Fascism is bad.

I assume people who worry about "ingredients you can't even pronounce!" in food are stupid not because they are ignorant but because they'd do really bad on the pronouncing nonsense words part of a cognitive ability test. U can pronounce words you've never seen it's very easy actually.

Ah, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions /pos (I made really good decisions that benefit me today)

"I can't believe he's –" I can. I can believe it very easily, actually.

Exactly this. 🎯

They are hiding this from you to make you afraid. These facts do not dismiss or diminish victims of crimes. We have real work to do. But the world is not falling apart because of "street criminals". It's falling apart because of mansion criminals.

That FedEx driver has no motivation to get your package to your hands. Hard to be mad when they're judged on speed.

Gerrymandering can backfire. It's all about packing and cracking. Packed districts for sure go blue, so it's all down to the primary. That lets us elect strong left-wing reps. Cracked district shave just enough red to push over the edge. A big enough shift in voter sentiment and it all topples.

This is a good response.

Myself and the rest of the "two things can be true" crowd bout to go defend a totalitarian theocracy by saying we should not have invaded the county

You avoid it by… not doing war? He chose this?

The pedophile in charge of the federal government is trying to use AI to build autonomous weapons systems and mass surveillance. Have a nice night!

I love how every step of the way they find new ways to justify it. I think in 2015 even a lot of MAGAs would turn if Trump said he would defy SCOTUS. But he inched on and on towards authoritarianism. Now they don't care.

Gonna stop trying "the more you know!" and instead say "the more you know, the better you can resist propaganda."

I posted this and then @hankgreen.bsky.social did a video where he said he's not diagnosed. I caused this. Me.

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal. Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

Today is a day where the badness in the world feels so demoralizing. And I know I will feel better if I focus in the small things, and individuals trying to make a difference. But I wish some good things found happen at a big level. Idk.

So if you are around that age you probably don't have to worry. You will probably live another eight or more years. Just remember that things like stress and obesity reduce your expected lifespan.

There is a greater than five percent chance for any given seventy-nine year old man to die before turning eighty. Around six percent the year after, then closer to seven the next two. Fun facts.

See, she could have just said the first part, and people would speculate about interference, and maga would go ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ the didn't say that But then she said it. They want us to know. They want us to be intimidated.

wait ur saying that if a good system fails to actually do good for ppl then those ppl will decide they don't like it? craaaazy

I have become swayed state/local govt handling more things as a good counter to authoritarian overreach Issue has always been when those govts have independence to take people's rights Equality, justice, and collective action issues = federal Else = state Bring it back.

I actually get the case for having a monopoly on some things like power. Kind of hard to keep track of the infrastructure otherwise. Just wish there's was a not-for-profit organization. Accountable to the people. Democratically. Like… the State. Oh well.

WHY IS DUKE NOT FORCED TO LOWER PRICES IF IT IS MAKING THIS MUCH PROFIT AS A MONOPOLY

Hate when people give two-dimensional critiques if other countries' policies like universal healthcare. Every government program in every country is flawed but a detailed analysis can show us meaningful differences. "Wait times!" Yes. Bad. But. Easy to measure better overall outcomes. Duh.

Saw something on Reddit today: instead of saying billionaires or the billionaire class, say "The Epstein Class." More people can get behind taxing, restraining, holding to the same standard if justice the Epsteins of the world. Brilliant.
