You ever think of just how many provlems could be solved with universal basic income for everyone

Here's a joke that was shared on another site. Be sure to read it all, in order. 🤣🤣😈 1/4: #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

This is exactly what @sarahkendzior.bsky.social has been saying for the past decade. Two quotes from her book "Hiding in Plain Sight" (written in 2019, published the following year):

VIVIAN MAIER was a Nanny for 40yrs who unbeknownst to anyone spent her free time taking over 150,000 photos of whatever interested her. 2yrs before she died her photos were found in a lock up she’d failed to keep up payments on and her decades of incredible work suddenly exploded upon the world.

ICE can’t be reformed. It must be eliminated. #AbolishICE *

1) This.

I want to hear more about the second of these writing sessions

Holy shit.

It’s Trader Joe’s. And here’s the price online below. They just can’t help themselves with the lying.

The filmmaking is astonishing in its greatness. The acting, too. The happy slave banter in the opening exposes an extraordinary ignorance towards the horror of slavery and it never redeems itself.

Here's a handy guide for men. #KeepTalking #RapeCulture #Pinks

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️™️ 🧵 Nov. 11, 1909, Cairo, Illinois was the site of one of the most violent lynchings in American history. A mob not only lynched William James—a White man was lynched as well. Yep. A double lynching. Pull up a seat🪑.(cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

“Mrs Travers, I’m tired of remembering it that way. Aren’t you tired too Mrs Travers.” SAVING MR. BANKS (2013) Great scene. #TomHanks #EmmaThompson

Seriously, what kind of country does this? Federal appeals court said to stop it, they needed more time to consider the facts. Supreme Court says no, don't wait, over the objection of the 3 liberals. Execution is rushed and botched. This is cruel and unusual punishment, pure and simple.

After our visit to Springfield Friday, I repeat what I wrote that. morning: We’re honored to help bring more attention to the outrages our government is perpetrating in our name. We’re honored so many of you are part of this effort. One more thing: ABOLISH ICE. www.thebulwark.com/p/why-were-g...

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."

Amnesty International calls for ICE to be abolished

The word "insouciance" is what got me. If you want to feed the bad wolf, this is the piece for you. www.thebulwark.com/p/portrait-o...

As governor, this absolute shitpiece removed a mural from Maine's Department of Labor building honoring Maine native Frances Perkins -- one of the finest Americans of the last century and the person most responsible for ending child labor, creating worker safety codes and birthing Social Security.

What I can't get over is the Dems out there trying to transphobia their way out of these numbers. Just out there riding the crest of the wave, doing morally unsupportable pandering to bigotry at a time when it is also strategically foolish, just for love of the capitulation game.

Hard to overstate how fake this "national security" justification for the Arch is. If we need new defense structures and capabilities for the nation's capital, there are large military bases very close by in DC and Northern Virginia that can host them. wapo.st/4hojaMW

Okay, this got me.

Apparently more than one outlet has been doing the bizarre "interview AI generated actor Tilly Norwood" thing and on Piers Morgan it glitches out and starts speaking Chinese. I promise its much, much funnier than it sounds.

"For a man whose academic field was built largely on faulty studies to ignore the intellectual fraud in his circle and lash out at people like Arday for bad scholarship – well, psychologists used to call that projection" @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social www.thenerve.news/p/steven-pin...

I just saw this commercial on SNF, and I aint gon lie, it had my full attention. Wasnt expecting that

The simple solution is to stop acting as if trans people playing sports is a problem rather that a cynical bigoted misogynistic wedge issue and simply let trans people play sports if they want to.

Jared Kushner is not "on the other side of the aisle." He's not an elected official. He's not an administration official. He's the president's son-in-law and a private citizen. You do not, in fact, have to take meetings with relatives of the president. Some might even say you should *not* do that

It doesn't speak well for America's capacity to govern itself at the moment that an industry worth tens of billions of $$, which operates openly & employs 100,000+ workers, is technically illegal for no reason anyone can articulate such that some courts will refuse to enforce their contracts.

Three weeks after 9/11, the city chose a cover-up over public safety. Jon Stewart described poison in the air & ground, coating clothes, pets, and air conditioners for months. People who survived the attacks were sent into toxic dust because “business as usual” mattered more.

October 17: vote early, take the next step, and make your voice impossible to ignore. We do not need a king, a crown, or another lecture about knowing our place. We need voters ready to protect their power. RSVP, show up, and bring somebody.

@zandra-wpg.bsky.social Hi. I think you mistakenly put me on a gen AI proponents list. Because I made a joke about using AI to imitate Werner Herzog perhaps? Anyway, I am definitely not a proponent, but you are free to do as you wish of course. Just wanted to set the record straight…

Let's say you spend $200 on groceries. Let's also say a consumption tax makes that $220. There is no difference between paying $200 and $0 tax compared to $220 and getting $20 in UBI. Yes you can limit consumption taxes to certain approved stuff, but that just requires unnecessary admin overhead.

I'm about to go on with @joyannreid.bsky.social with @cristianfarias.com to talk about his excellent article about Nolan Wells. I linked it here in my newsletter. Also, my newsletter is out and I was very mean to the Dems who voted for House resoultions. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

The French Ambassador tries to make a diplomatic incident out of an exchange of puppies in order to strengthen the French position on Channel Tunnel negotiations. YES, PRIME MINISTER “Excellency, you must ask the President not to bring that bitch with him!” A genius Sitcom.

Don't ever - and I mean /ever/ - try to justify watching the new Harry Potter show to me. Here, it gets an instant block, and in person it gets anywhere from a very loud lecture to thrown hands. IDGAF. You're either a bigot or so painfully unaware of your own privilege that it's the same thing.

His pilot was killed in the crash, and observers reported no survivors. Back home, Halyburton was officially declared Killed in Action (KIA). His family held a memorial service, placed a gravestone (below) in North Carolina, and began grieving. (cont)

BAMBI MEETS GODZILLA (1969) This b&w animated short student film — produced entirely by Marv Newland — is only 92 seconds long but is seen as a classic of animation and was listed #38 in the book ‘The 50 Greatest Cartoons’.
