Huh

the moment #MeToo died, and why we’re here where we are with Andrew Cuomo’s rehabilitation, is when multiple women came out to share uncomfortable experiences with Joe Biden, no 2020 candidates called for him to step down, all the moderates eventually coalesced around him, and he won the nomination.

Man, I want to believe this is true but I'm afraid it's going to take some AR-15s to get there.

Organize as if the Democrats do not exist. Because, for all intents and purposes of liberation, they do not.

A little story about repression and why I've never treated arrests as something anyone should do: for those of you who don't remember, Occupy Wall Street was a massive movement that was centered around encampments that popped up in city centers across the US (and Canada and UK) from Sept to Nov 2011

Struggling to imagine the scale of the damage that will come when the AI bubble bursts given how much institutions and governments are spending on something they have no idea what to do with

The Hagan Scotten resignation is some real catnip for liberals, combining the two things they love most in the world: cops and strongly-worded letters.

Don’t rely on cops, everybody watch out for your neighbors and community and handle that. Not telling you to body nobody, cuz then you’d be the same as these punk ads cops. Just keep ppl safe, even if it’s warning ppl 12 on the block. Watch ppl’s kids and yours, obviously. All we got is us.

I know this isn't a novel comment, but man, Gaza really was the rubicon for western liberalism. Universities, legacy media, show business, etc, all the major constituent institutions of the liberal wing of US politics, they all immediately went full mask off fascist, no apologies, no regrets.

When masks are illegal in public, disabled people are illegal in public.

New study in Nature finds no such thing as natural immunity to covid after the arrival of omicron. Pre omicron, infection provided 80% protection against re-infection one year later. This falls to under 5% at one year with omicron

I wear a sports jacket and tie with chinos to work and people refer to my outfit as a "suit" all the time and I've come to realize that actually wearing a suit has become so rare that people honestly don't know what the word means anymore. Not a value judgement, just an observation. 🤷‍♂️

People who don’t include disability liberation in their understanding of social justice will never make sense to me. Like what do you MEAN you oppose sexism, racism, and classism, but the minute the lived reality of that oppression starts showing up physically, all your energy just evaporates?

Anyone with a good word to say about a Democrat in the year 2025 is a fucking clown with nothing useful to offer.

I know there are some actual reasons why its used, but idc, the rise of webp was one of the first stages of the digital enclosure and crapification of the internet.

This is unironically good advice, if you've been putting off a Covid or flu shot for some reason, or really any immunization, now's a great time to see your doctor or stroll over to CVS

I've taken drinking water out of larger and larger glass vessels and it's been great, but there's a point at which you get diminishing returns bc if the vessel is too large, the water will warm up before you finish it. Learn from my hubris, friends.

All the machine learning slop that has become basically unavoidable in my everyday life is going to be the thing that finally makes me go full old man crank. I absolutely will never get on board with this shit and I think ppl who are rolling with it are fucking unsalvageable.

Was tabling and an older white lady was asking me about copwatching and kept asking questions that were designed for me to basically promise that she'd be completely safe if she signed up to help and I had to calmly and repeatedly explain that I could not promise that?

I've really been trying to find more time and energy to devote to organizing over the past few months, and I gotta say, it always rewards me back as much as I put into it. Things are fucking horrible, but I feel so lucky to have my comrades and to be able to connect with new folks who want to fight.
