I just reminded myself of the band I Decline and I'm gonna pin this tweet until I remember to recover the songs I have from them
I don't mean this as a dunk, but I think one thing we have to get better at is realizing if what we're talking about is how a newspaper etc. uses its space. Are we saying "everybody is talking about this, why?" or are we really trying to say "why is the paper printing this instead of smthg else?"
I feel insane watching people act as if testing accommodations are a significant social problem. We're talking about people getting an extra 24 hours to turn in an assignment or an extra hour on a test. It's not like they're getting out of assignments completely or something. Who gives a shit!?

A bit concerned about this other temp but not sure what to do about it. They have nothing to do which is their own fault in a way, but I don't know their full situation. All I know is that I very purposefully didn't finish everything to avoid having nothing to do, which is death for a temp job.

The other aspect of this “the disabled might be actually faking it” is that, everyone saying it is just a bad day away from joining all of us.

It kinda sucks to see people being like "the ceasefire was a distraction and we fell for it" because idk if that's really what happened. A lot of people were highly skeptical of it, but it was demanded that everyone be happy about the ceasefire even if you knew it was illusory. I was not happy.

we don't need allies we need accomplices
All these statements being made with "utmost regret and sadness" fundamentally don't change the fact that these organisations are all folding to appease one vexatious bigot because she has infinite money, instead of doing the right thing and sticking by their guns and ignoring the Supreme Court.

We should all get behind the 7500 South Shore residents. There has to be justice for them.
NEW — In response to a court-ordered evacuation, members of the 7500 South Shore Tenants Union are demanding more time and money for residents to leave the apartment complex and relocate.

Politics doesn’t reflect majorities, it constructs them, which is why I’m not comforted by the idea that vaccines are “still popular.” That majority is not stable and the MAHA people are working hard to construct another one. Constructing majorities has always been part of the political work of PH

The idea that you must avoid being deceived at all costs is extremely self-destructive. You could just do a good thing and let a couple people get away with it. But no, we gotta really squeeze it. Demonic point of view.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

It's a good video. If you are reading this you probably agree with everything he's going to say, so I will say that the part I suggest watching if you agree is 28:36 to 29:57. I see a lot of division between small sellers (or donation organizers) and "consumers" that this directly addresses imo.
To the point where some dumb dick youtuber (sorry Drew Gooden who is reading this but I'm making a point) can go online confidently and say "actually if you just believe these graphs you're a fucking idiot".

The fact that it's so easy to launch a mass-reporting campaign, and that BlueSky takes these seriously, is proof that they aren't a real company. And they absolutely could do something about this, but if they display any competence, people would demand fairness which they reject.

If you want to know what Kamala Harris would be doing if she was president today, ask two questions:
1) What is Harris doing right now?
2) What are Jeffries and Schumer doing right now?
The answer for both is "nothing useful". The idea that she'd suddenly be a champion as president is laughable.

Lana's cope is crazy. Rusev could have been doing jobs in AEW but he's a mark for himself. He's not gonna "make it" in WWE

The real news here is Lana confirming her husband took a paycut to do jobs in WWE because he wouldn't do jobs in AEW. "So it was like, yeah, maybe he made more money at AEW or something..."

Journalists have been deliberately misunderstanding this since i started paying attention 25+ years ago, which is to say they understand perfectly well but they are liars
By situating the Times as nobly filling the space between the diametrically opposed wants of the “left” and the “right” and suggesting that all of these critiques are ideologically motivated and are equally valid (or invalid), this misses the point of much of the criticism of the paper’s coverage.

I'm skimming through vols 2 and 3 of The Accursed Share because I agree with him too much so I'm looking for something I need right now. I keep stopping at bits and going "yup I already think that". Definitely is a series I would recommend, especially if you haven't been exposed to general economy

If you get sonned online, the thing to do is shut up. Anything else is juiceless. Sometimes you're just wrong, man. You can't block somebody for showing that you're wrong, don't be a piece of shit. You can't go like "wow thanks for correcting me" cause that makes you look petty. Just shut up.
