It's worse. He is normalizing debauchery. Behavior motivated by seeking pleasure is pretty normal. Trump is normalizing excessive dissipation. Pleasure seekers generally care if their behavior harms others and avoid it.

Trump and his chucklefucks HOPE their behavior causes others pain.

Reminder that Spotify has still not gotten rid of their ICE ads. They think they can just stay silent without answering to the public. Let’s show them how wrong they are, let’s hit them where it hurts! These corporations don’t understand anything unless it hurts their bottom line.

How would the government (derogatory) know or find out what discount had been offered to an individual shopper?

Apropos of nothing in particular, I'm noticing an uptick in people asking questions in the replies to posts which already have replies which which already asked that question and already got an answer... so here's your reminder to look for things.

Wait, did they edit an interview? Did they not air every second?

I heard that’s grounds for a multimillion lawsuit

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 17h

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong and the democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

I know without reading this that it will ignore that what these folks do is probably more “deep play” rather than “work.”

This is how the rich valorize “total labor.” By us, not them.

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

The goal of trolls who lie, attack and shitpost is to obfuscate the truth and bully you into silence.

I hosted a resource fair with @cityofseattlegov and local orgs to help support federal workers during this Republican shutdown.

TIL:

I kept seeing "Samhain" in posts from the east side of the Atlantic and wanted to know how to pronounce it. TO YOUTUBE

Where they tell me it is pronounced "sow-in" which is not even close to what I imagined it might sound like. ( I mean, I knew sam-hane would be wrong, but . . . )
