David Lynch said , and I think this is a quote, but you know... "there are no original stories but this is the first time you get to tell it." I love that so much.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

It terrifies me how unequal the distribution of wealth is and how fast the money is changing hands daily.

I do not think for a minute the Westminster politicians realise how bad the cost of living crisis is. On benefits people can scarcely afford food and rent, let alone energy. In work people can maybe JUST afford it. But no treats. Forget holidays.

The dominant business plan these days seems to be let’s turn everyone into slaves, who famously never revolt

Why are people who look like me called "prisoners" when they get kidnapped, but the people who resemble Europeans are called "hostages" ... and then in the same breath, I'll get accused of being "woke" or "radical" or even "antisemitic" just for bringing this up because the answer is uncomfortable.

insurers:

we will not insure your poxy houses, flee your homes peasants, climate change is upon us.

The Trump administration is intentionally increasing your energy bills to pay back fossil fuel campaign donors.

@whitehouse.senate.gov exposes this corruption in a must-watch speech on the Senate floor.

This is what Elon Musk looked like before he took hormones, had a hair transplant and plastic surgery.

All stuff that he wants banned for Trans people.

Is perfect competition real or just a dream? youtu.be/o5GMMiPKvPc?... Economists still cling to the fantasy of perfect competition — the idea that markets are full of small, powerless firms playing fair. But the real world is dominated by oligopolies, monopolies and brand empires.

It is not even 'cannot afford' said items. I just feel like I am being conned by an absolute bunch of sharks who treat their customers like mugs.

I think there 9 inch shit tasting Pizza Express pizza, "reduced" to 3.95 from 6.35 was what did it for me. These tossers are fleecing us for billions.

Got halfway round my local Tesco express and just dropped my basket mid aisle and walked out in disgust (sorry workers there). So fucking expensive. Bunch of absolute cunts. We should flash mob their agm.

ICE must be destroyed and every single one of these fascists imprisoned for the rest of their natural lives.

That is the compromise position. 🤬

I think the super rich, drunk on the potential of AI, are quite happy to bunker down and emerge from hell after 7 years to cull the survivors and claim little corners of paradise.

Their options are that, or give up privileges and admit they were wrong about nearly everything.

Here is an idea, every insurer that is exposed either directly, or through its investments in oil and gas, should be forced to offer affordable insurance to homeowners exposed to flood risk.

Israel gearing up any fucking excuse to start genocide again.
