Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

The terrifying thing is that in my peer group - people in their late 30s and 40’s, whether they have kids or not- are being crushed by healthcare costs. Sure feels like we’re on the precipice of economic collapse. Wheeeee.

I have good news for people looking for the example that best illustrates the current VC/ai landscape.
Zuckerberg never thought the leopards would eat his face I guess. apnews.com/article/meta...
Have never felt more represented by any piece of media ever
Maybe everyone can see it now, but the world's richest people have tanked it all to restock assets and get liquid after years of illegally playing with funny money. They used "the wokeness" as a cudgel and it worked. The next Disney princess WILL be white, as we all eat beans under the highway.
3 dead so far at Krome ICE detention center in Florida. Max capacity was 500, they have over 4,000 and not enough water and food. Reports say they get 1 cup of water per day.
These are already death camps.

Please add to this list, the sillier the better. A reminder that we can overcome terrible things, we can build things that last in good ways.
The ACLU, the NAACP, Southern Equality, and most of our nation’s abortion funds have all been around longer.
Shameless plug: my company Seed&Spark has been around for 13 years during which time pretty much every single one of the 5,890 movies we’ve helped get made would make confederates roll in their graves. I delight in that a lot.
The original Pride flag launched in 1978 and has been going strong ever since, outlast the confederacy by almost 35 years.
Pokémon Go has been around for nine years. It’s kind of a scam to build a new mapping app using the UGC from people’s pictures but that outlasted the Confederacy.
A Different World, an American sitcom about an HBCU (a *great* show that is currently being rebooted and they better not mess it up) lasted 6 seasons starting in 1987
I feel like now is a good time to remind everyone that the Confederacy lasted just about four years. Here is a non-exhaustive list of things that have lasted longer:
“I stand here in SPITE of him.” What a perfect moment.
THIS IS WHY YOU YELL AT THEM
NOT BECAUSE IT’S FUN
BECAUSE IT MATTERS
If you are not watching @booker.senate.gov right now, drop everything and turn him on. History in the making.
I’m only just realizing how toxic the movie Ladybugs really was.
I’d like to see these corporate “leaders” refuse the 15% tax break in favor of funding education. I’d like to see some actual leadership.
Yep. We gotta get this film made!!!
Congratulations, @coralineada.bsky.social!!!! Pub day is so exciting and you have offered the world a handbook for building the pro social future we could all hope for (and work toward)
A lot of people are going to die from this
Photograph of a medium-sized spiral-bound notebook with a large round pink sticker that reads “being kind is punk” in all caps. In the background, there’s a small doll of Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas and some rack-mounted music gear with blue and green displays.
Reminder that being kind is punk.
It would be a shame if you had to report book banning, abstinence education, forcing 10 commandments, anti trans sports policies to this website (which doesn’t verify emails lol)
"Alternative news sources like social media and podcasts were much more prevalent among “swing voters” (52 percent) and new Trump voters (59 percent) compared to the overall electorate (43 percent)."
