Happy #primeweek! I just want to let y’all know that the Amazon shipping warehouse where my husband works is denying workers fans during a nationally recognized heat emergency and everything you order during time week places workers’ lives at risk.

The question is not "Biden or Trump?". The question has never been "Biden or Trump?". The question is, "Why does the institutional Democratic Party, ostensibly recognizing the threat Trump represents, not nominate a lucid and credible opponent?" Biden is and has always been a flaming disgrace.

I really cannot understand the appeal of a dead-eyed, senescent, fake plastic meat muppet who has spent the past four years sitting in a chair drooling while our civil rights eroded in real time and our economy and planet burned, but you do you.

Love how the show underlines that vampires are as much predators in their relationships as they are in their feeding, especially in relationships with significant age gaps, since those manifest as literal power imbalances

If a journalist has been consistently reliable, resourceful and accurate when reporting things you want to hear, you don’t get to dismiss them when they report something you don’t. I’m sorry, I don’t make the rules.

The United States has always been a democracy for some and a brutal authoritarian regime for others, and the effort to expand it to democracy for all has led to a 70+ year backlash culminating in SCOTUS claiming that kings are totes cool and also judges are the ones to coronate them

A thing I'm genuinely surprised by on here is this idea that it's totally suicidal to replace...the extremely unpopular 81 year old trailing in nearly every poll and who now will be dogged by "sir, does your brain work" questions for the next four months

It's hard. You may lose. You may never see the system replaced, and if you do, the replacement might be bad or short-lived. But if you don't try, that's YOU not doing anything. You're just letting bosses push you around and make you think you can't win, just accept bad or worse every time. I won't.

that's the whole idea, yes people lose their jobs, their health care, and their homes, and then, once they get arrested for sleeping rough or nonpayment of tickets, they become slave labor for prison jobs.

The thing about taking statutory interpretation away from the agencies is that Congress actually has power over those agencies, but does not have power over the Court. It’s power grab in the guise of helping; it’s “helping” in a paternalistic, condescending, unchecked manner.

Latest polls are so good for far-right in France: Pollster Odoxa asked a generic runoff Q, which is rare. Le Pen's RN candidates would beat Left bloc candidates 55/45. They'd beat Macronist candidates 54/46. Country about to go through an earthquake.

In "Bell Riots," the dystopian vision of 2024 is that sanctuary districts would be designated which legally permit the unhoused to sleep outside or in derelict buildings, where food is provided and there's an office that sets people up with work. Again, this is the dystopian part of the Bell Riots.

The past 24 hours are a stark reminder that the power elite have always and exclusively been brokering the suffering of the powerless masses, and that any action those in power take which materially helps the masses does so only tangentially to its primary function - the consolidation of power

You can see where he loses the thread in mid-sentence, goes into what he thinks is a tangent but which never connects with his original point. It's incredibly sad to watch.

There's a clip going around of Biden rambling incoherently about his covid response and then declaring, apropos of nothing, "We finally beat Medicare!" Dire stuff.

1a. ai is unethical. 1b. ai is unethical. 2. there is no artistic way to overcome the uncanny valley. 3. art direction between human directors & artists can not be replicated, especially if trying to connect audiences to the narrative warmths of humanity. 4. ai doesnt correlate well to commerce.

Something like 90% of silent films are lost, partially because studios didn't bother to preserve them because they weren't profitable to hold on to anymore. Only one of Theda Bara's films survives in its entirety. We haven't learned a thing since then.

And they just announced Season 3!!
