New USA menβs national team World Cup jersey on a rack in a store. Red and white wobbly horizontal stripes
Have we nicknamed this #usmnt jersey yet? Iβm proposing Wobbly Waldo
Giving up 6' goals is not a great new trait #RCTID
Seeing a lot of cynicism on the timeline. What if this is one of the good wars?
This is going to be an early challenge for the Board of Peace to deal with.
Jesse Jackson's contributions to the civil rights movement in the United States and internationally made "this country more democratic, more inclusive, more fair."
Good chance we're are on a steady descent into a social and public health crisis because of this technology. Machines that can tickle our brain in these ways are completely novel and live video/audio chat is coming soon and will make it far worse
βJesse Jackson Gave Peace a Chance!β
One of the Rev. Jesse Jacksonβs great legacies is his record, as a man of faith and a presidential candidate, of embracing anti-war movements, advocating for diplomacy over militarism, and working for deep cuts in Pentagon spending in order to fund human needs.
AI isnβt just automating jobs. Itβs performing an act of involuntary honesty β confirming that the roles were never as necessary as we were required to believe.
David Graeber saw this coming. New essay on what happens when the system calls its own bluff.
Lovey. Is that at a dispensary or just around town?
JFC, cut that shit in half and youβve eradicated hunger, provided healthcare for all and made education free for all Americans. What the fuck are we doing?
wealth concentration is already 200% as bad at is was in 2020. think about that
Canβt tell if the nearby table is Gal-entines Day dinner or lesbian polycule with no chemistry #portlandproblems
worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead
Pivoting my national newspaper to fash opinion sludge and some AI-related handwaving, on account of economic headwinds and also because neither I nor anyone in my cohort of elites knows how to read.

Friend of a friend wrote a great essay about this that should be getting wider circulation: open.substack.com/pub/againstc...
ICE: *Absolutely fucking abhorrent behavior*
Almost Everyone: "Stop this shit"
Senate Dems: "What if we increased ICE funding in exchange for body cams and more training?"
boy that really captures the whole thing doesnβt it
An old tweet of mine from 2021 saying βWe used to have Gingerbread Men in this country. Nowadays all we have is Gingerbread Them. Retweet if you support nuclear war with Chinaβ
Government accounts just post like this now and thatβs how policy is made
What about online? Faux pas?
βIt should be crystal clear to everyone that the real threat to community safety is the ICE agents harassing, targeting, detaining β and in some tragic cases β killing our neighbors. This violence is unacceptable, it is criminal, and it is against the constitution of the United States.β
The shooting came just one day after an ICE agent in Minneapolis shot and killed Renee Nicole Good.
So when authorities say βshe tried to run over an officer,β that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact.
