People who couldn't perform live music if they tried: "This halftime show is terrible"

Stop letting the GOP act like they have a mandate when they can't afford more than a few defections on any issues.

Why are we trusting the tech industry to be in charge of government efficiency? These are the same people who gave us the "agile" software release. Which might be the pinnacle of corporate and human mediocrity.

🚨BREAKING: Alliance for Retired Americans and two labor unions file lawsuit against Treasury Dept. to block disclosure of personal and financial information to Musk and DOGE. Follow @democracydocket.com for details on this and every pro-democracy lawsuit. www.democracydocket.com

Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and offer them to small to medium size businesses. Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations . Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ? Thoughts ?

The GOP wants to turn free and mobile migrant labor into prison (slave) labor. They don't care about unfair wage competition. They don't care about you. They want to make cheap labor cheaper. They're expanding the economy of cruelty.

Wife: you better not have found the peace of wild things again. Have you been in the woods? Me, serenely chewing on a stick: no

If an artist makes a mistake, it makes their art human. If AI makes a mistake, it just sucks. Being human will always be part of art no matter how much greedy companies try to cut humans out.

Guys will say they're living the ultra-natural, primal, carnivore, caveman lifestyle, or something like that, and then get upset over a woman with body hair. Such a strange group of fellas.

Boogie on you beautiful devils. 😍

GOP: Drag queens are sexualizing children. Also GOP: Let's let this dude in assless chaps perform the YMCA at an inauguration event.

Nancy "The Kid" Mace will forever be her nickname. #child

Repblicans:DEI gives jobs to unqualified people. Also Republicans: put this unqualified frat boy in charge of the pentagon.

Elon pledges to bore tunnel to Europe, using strictly the hot air in his skull.

Sums it up nicely.

Tech bros will play politics with the cause of natural disasters because acknowledging they were caused by climate change makes the carbon footprint related to AI data centers even more problematic.

No one would notice(or care) if every healthcare CEO on Earth took a 3 month vacation. The same can't be said for frontline workers. Yet one group receives vastly more compensation for their work.

Last full week before we brace for Trump 2.0. Rest up everyone, it's going to be long hard fight to protect democracy.

The meritocratic anit DEI crowd ignores the fact that being able to relate to others with different backgrounds is a qualification for a job.

The GOP doesn't hate the undocumented laborers. They hate the freedom of movement of cheap labor. They'll have work release in ICE detention where businesses can pay even less than they would to undocumented persons. That's their plan: replace cheap mobile labor with cheaper prison labor.

I'm very anti corporate greed, but insurance companies pulling back from markets isn't about greed as much as it's about the fact that the impacts of climate change are uninsurable.

Counter-cultures can become overly decadent and often end up commercialized, but they'll always serve an important purpose in the face of oppression. Spreading love, joy, dignity, inclusion, and art brings people together and opens minds. Let's make America Rock again.

Opposition > Resistance

We don't just communicate to share logical information. It's about connection too. The idea that all conversation should be flattened into a logical information exchange makes for a grey, mush colored human experience.

Some guys will learn about logical fallacies and turn it into a personality, then wonder why people find them insufferable. I should know because it used to be me.

Real libertarians are anti-mass deportation. Libertarians who believe in closed borders are simps for authority. #notruescottsman

People think AI images of Hollywood sign burning are real AI generated slop is tricking people into thinking an already devastating series of wildfires in Los Angeles are even worse than they are — and using it to score political points. 🔗 www.404media.co/hollywood-si...

New from 404 Media: data hacked from location giant Gravy reveals thousands of ordinary apps hijacked to steal your location data. Candy Crush, MyFitnessPal, Tinder. Period trackers, prayer apps. Because of how data collected, apps may not even know www.404media.co/candy-crush-...

Am I chronically online? Or, does the fact that our work and leisure have been melded into one handheld device, designed using the same psychology a casino uses to get people to gamble more, that's basically madatory to attend to at all times if you have a job?

A very large number of people in the US are one fire or hurricane away from being refugees. It's only a matter of time before they treat internal refugees the same as external ones. But then again, look at how we treat homeless people already.

Zuckerberg says Meta is leaning into unrestricted free speech, but see how much engagement a post that criticizes him or Meta gets.

There’s this great 30 ROCK bit about liberal Hollywood and coastal-based entertainment trying to appeal to Middle America during the Bush era and they do stuff like “tennis night in America” with a country rock soundtrack and I honestly feel given the amount of corporate ass kissing to Trumpism…
