Maybe he should just take the deal he already turned down several times because he wasn't done murdering people yet. I'll believe it when it happens, until then it's just muddying the waters while the genocide continues

"enjoy the camps" is just liberals self-reporting that they intend to be standing on the side of the fence that has the fascists on it and like, yeah, I know, that's what I've been saying

I did not make those claims but I understand why you need to believe I did. However, this is not a productive conversation and I'll end my part in it here. Best of luck to you

But very effective things to claim to want if your goal is to muddy the waters until genocide is complete

I don't care about rhetoric, I care about what they do. I have no illusions about Trump, and also none about Biden. We have two pro-genocide candidates.

Definitely didn't. I think it was called birdwatch or something like that originally, and shortly after he bought twitter it got changed to community notes

Ignore what they say and look at what they do, and it's clear the Biden administration is focused on giving Israel the time it needs to complete its genocide while trying to look like it isn't.

What would really minimize the impact of medical debt would be if it didn't exist. Hey, that public option Biden campaigned on, how's that progressing?

Generative AI isn't smart enough to do harm to anybody except the workers it exploits (or those taking its medical advice). This is just marketing.

"Exploit" is used in the technical and not judgmental sense. It means you provided your labor to somebody else and got less than the full value of your labor in return. The cumulative difference in these values is what your employer refers to as "profit."

The short simple answer is: If you owe your labor to an employer and get a paycheck of some form in return, then you're working class. If you own the means of production (factory, office, gig app, platform, or whatever) and use that to exploit people for their labor, then you're a capitalist.

You might be wrong or you might be right. It's been in the back of my mind since 2020, so maybe I'm crazy too. One thing is for sure: going with this as a working theory is far more predictive of Biden's words and actions than the alternative.

Nothing to do with me. Keep the rich people casino news on your website where the few people it's relevant to can go find it.

It could take an hour, or it could take some other amount of time. Other units of time include days, weeks, months, and even years. Find out more at your local library.

Propaganda like this serves two purposes: 1) Misdirects attention away from the corporations and militaries that cause basically all climate change. 2) By only scrutinizing personal choices, people begin resenting the very idea of addressing climate change, which also serves corporations very well.

I like how all of this publicity is also revealing, in case anybody didn't already know, how much of AI is simply straight up plagiarizing entire sentences/paragraphs and not actually generating anything at all

The thing you don't get is Hamas is what's left. There were more moderate leaders. There were peaceful protesters. Israel murdered them too. Hamas is what's left. And when faced with genocide, it's one's moral duty to resist it.

Open a newspaper. Hamas has offered to release the hostages numerous times. Israel would rather bomb them all.

I had pretty much the exact same thing happen with one of my cats and yeah, it kinda fucked me up too. But it's sheer instinct, and it doesn't mean she wasn't bonded to you. I know it's hard not to dwell on those final moments, but think of all the loving moments you had with her too.

Why is it always "they'll haul you off to the camps" and not "they'll haul us off to the camps"? One could almost be led to believe liberals actually DO have an implicit understanding of who they're more ideologically aligned with...
