Hard agree, also from personal experience.
Years of covering the business have taught me that “investors” and executives are thick skulled, irrational, impulsive children.
I cannot emphasize enough how comprehensive their stupidity is, but their cultlike devotion to regurgitative AI really helps get the point across.

Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”
A PROTESTant.
I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

All in all I'd have to say I don't enjoy being ruled by semi-literate perverts with infinite money

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

2/7 Think of it as "SEO for propaganda."
Propaganda networks are flooding internet w/millions of articles containing specific, biased, or false narratives.
But here is catch: these articles aren't meant for u to read. They are written specifically for the AI's training robots to scoop up & "learn."

the issue here is that the EU is currently looking to see if anyone in the US opposition is actually capable of, you know, assisting them against being economically coerced, you know?
He’s making a completely different point about how fucked up life is here for most people. It’s not targeted to our EU allies.

Statistically someone you love is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse.
Chances are if you can’t think of anyone, it’s probably because they don’t feel safe telling you.
Consider this before making your jokes about the Epstein shit.

Once again, we need to define what “feminism” is here. Not everything any woman ever does—not even in the political realm, and not even concerning gender—is “feminism.” Opposing the rights of women as a class to equal status and dignity is in fact called “antifeminism.”

The claim that Mamdani is anti-Semitic rests entirely on the idea that well, surely he *must* harbor those beliefs secretly because of his religion.
That's an approach that has itself fueled a lot of *actual* anti-Semitism and is deeply dangerous to push.

Y'all ever notice how nobody can ever actually point to any *specific thing* that Mamdani *actually said* that was antisemitic, and how people are just baldly asserting it anyway

There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either.

I'm going to set up a recurring donation to a local food bank, but it's good to be clear-eyed about this. Food banks cannot replace the loss of SNAP benefits.
"For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There's no way we can meet that gap. There's no way we can replace every single one of those meals. It is not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this."

the other thing i’ll say here is i am a bit frustrated with the narrative of online radicalization that treats it as akin to brainwashing. it lets individuals, families and communities off the hook for the choices they make and the environments they foster
this also drives me insane, this idea that it is the most normal thing in the world for a young (white) man to have a nazi curious phase. it isn’t!

Greta Thunberg has been laughed at and disparaged by the political and media elite. But this is one of her greatest achievements. Their mockery, in a time where we are witness to their unspeakable evil, sycophancy, avarice and apathy is a badge of honour.
