My first small radicalization story was that I was NOT taught the Civil Rights Movement in HS -- history stopped at WWII idk why -- and 1st year took a college history class on post-WWII America in which I was simply overcome with sorrow/anger I had not been told these things.

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

i try to approach life with an abundance mindset but sometimes i wonder if the Good Dude Distribution Syrup Gun got jammed up 50 years ago and Pedro Pascal got some kind of maxx-injection and God was like "oh balls, it's going to be a real shitshow before we can make more of this"

working in software, you quickly learn that "you broke it! put it back!" is a common response to literally every change you could possibly make (as exemplified by this xkcd comic) except now you're breaking everyone's parasocial relationship with the chatbot and it's exponentially worse

Too many liberals think “people already know” what the parties stand for. The last few elections have made very clear not only do people not know, but if the other guy tells them what you stand for in the absence of you saying anything they’re going to believe his lies.

People LOVE evoking a generic ‘disabled person’ to shut down transit projects. We’re much less likely to drive and benefit greatly from transit-friendly urban planning. Instead of pushing car dependence we should be asking how we can lower barriers to transit use.

If you go on BlueSky, you see posts like, “Republican voters did not know they were voting for this and it is both cruel and reductive to accuse these pure hearted people of believing this would be the end result of their choice.” If you go on X, you see posts like, “Hell yeah I voted for this!!!”

ok I feel completely insane asking this but like weren't we NOT blowing up rockets, like, 50 years ago. weren't we successfully sending rockets up that did not rattle apart. also weren't we like "ah yeah that was a fail" when the rocket fell apart instead of calling it a "partial success"
