you can win without billionaires supporting you

you can win without party leadership endorsing you

you can win unapologetically standing with every persecuted minority pundits say are too politically toxic to touch

we could do everything about this process differently if we wanted to
Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

Man, I repeat:

If art is a machine that generates empathy, AI generated art is a machine that generates apathy. It erodes trust and human connection. The entire point of it is to make solidarity impossible, because it becomes unimaginable.
I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable

their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more

that this is too monstrous for most news organizations to tell the truth about does not change the facts
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Kirk's gonna be a footnote in the story of his own murder and it's hard to call that anything but a fitting tribute tbh.
we've finally answered humanity's most ancient question, "What happens after you die?"

the answer is JD Vance fucks your wife

They didn’t abandon capitalism, they won capitalism, the end goal of capitalism is to be the new richest king of the world, the tech elites succeeded, this is what you capitalists wanted
the american financial elite, all at once, had abandoned capitalism in an attempt to purchase the power of the state.

So much of "cancel culture" discourse is a re-description of the normal functioning of a democracy and public discourse by people who didn't like the results of one, or both, or how it made them feel.
Saying that someone doesn’t deserve to be a senator isn’t canceling them, that is the public opinion candidates are subject to in a democracy.

Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day

Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT
Stop payment processors from censoring games!

if AI is making people work even more I'm not sure what even the stated point is
The grind culture that birthed many Big Tech companies from Google to Amazon is back.

As the AI race heats up, startups are promoting hardcore cultures like “996,” or working 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week.
Why these companies insist on a 72-hour work week

its so funny that so much of our government is just held up by gentlemens promises and you can just do insane stuff because nobody thought about it before.

Like "the president can demolish large sections of the white house because he just didn't staff the approval committee" should not be true.
There's a committee that's supposed to approve all significant changes.

Trump just didn't bother appointing anyone to it, so it currently does not exist.

He also did not consult with the building's owners...the National Park Service.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

The main achievement of the tech industry has been increasing the flow of money from people who make or do things to people who already have more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes
“Average musician makes $12 a month on Spotify. The fact that they are not even able to sell a record and it’s taken from them by rich motherfuckers on streaming platforms who get paid royally by record labels,Ticketmaster, merch companies.
