♾️Elder Millennial giving hot takes as our world falls apart. Will occasionally drop wisdom and compassion when the occasion calls for it.

LMAO It's almost as if all that compassion & grace was never part of the institution in the first place. Perhaps the whole purpose of the church is to be a beacon of authority & indoctrination. So how is that any different than a government with violence at its disposal?

There should be some kind of calculator where whenever a billionaire donates some amount of money, you can quickly what percentage that is of their net worth, apply it to your own net worth and see how much of a sacrifice it actually is

Both of my parents are NPD's: one overt & one covert. And for my entire childhood, their emotional neglet led to my depression, self-harm, and almost ending my life So no, this isn't moral panic. It's yet another case of generational entitlement from folks who refuse to take accountability

This is a quietly metastasizing moral panic

10 days for a job in the most expensive part of where I live. The role was part of some corporate mission to help save Sprint by doing a literal blitzkrieg of cell phone tower build outs. Mostly because Sprint had complete piss all for cell coverage But I guess said mission didn't work after all 🤣

I guess if big publishing's death embrace of generative-AI means that it's impossible to fight against the use of AI in publishing, the golden age of the zero-gen-AI indie author is beginning. Support indie authors for the sake of the environment, ethics, and all those other reasons!

WSJ is reporting that the Trump regime is investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar to build a case to strip her of US citizenship, forcibly remove her from office, & deport her. Please understand how dangerous and catastrophic this is. It’s already fascism that he’s trying to do this. 1/2

First days at school. Friendships have always been a difficulty in forming, and has not gotten better as I age. Which is a real injustice that I'd suffer for 3 decades before learning the truth to my neurodivergence. It almost cost me my life in not knowing this truth.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Most expensive military in the world is losing to swarms of drones that cost less than a used car for each of them. We can't afford universal healthcare, but we can afford higher gas prices and losing this war against Iran?

The workers who make Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering are unionizing. The teams behind these famous games would join United Wizards of the Coast, a union established earlier this year by Magic: The Gathering Arena developers in partnership with the Communication Workers of America.

At this point, I can't take media promos like this seriously because it's the easiest way for a studio to not have to worry about bringing an actor back to work after their contract has ended Kinda like how weird the Infinity War snap deaths felt since those folks were still set for future roles

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.
