The term "Luddite" as a pejorative synonym for "technophobe" was a technocrat PR coup; that's not what Luddites were about. They were a labour movement fighting to give workers control over technologies which were advancing w/o oversight and rapidly automating them out of their jobs. Sound familiar?

I dunno, man, the "you guys are being too mean to the plagiarism machines that stole all your work and were created to try to replace you so rich people don't pay you a tiny fraction of their wealth for it" posters popping up are pretty funny

RFK Jr blames diet, lifestyle & vaccines for chronic illness. Dr Oz says it’s a “patriotic duty” to lead a healthy life & be fit enough to serve in the military. Neither of them are pushing for Universal Healthcare, basic income, an end to food deserts & inequality, clean water etc. It’s eugenics

This is…so much worse than Watergate. The worst shit Nixon ever imagined was like three exits ago. And it’ll be below the fold tomorrow and off the front pages by Monday. We’re going on a decade of totally unforgivable negligence by virtually all of our major political media. This is madness.

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Cops are allowed to wear masks now? They’ve been covering up their badge #s for fucking forever, but I can’t wear a KN95 in the grocery store because I have immunocompromised friends? These assholes got full Zodiac killer masks? Weakest bitches in human history. Soft like unproofed bread dough.

"There is almost no proof that Vance is responsible for the death of Pope Francis. All we know is that the vice president met with the pope, and a few hours later, the pope was dead. To draw a line between those two facts would almost definitely be a little bit premature."
