Brilliant explanation. Watch it.

anyone who has been on social media for the last 15 years has ptsd for this exact thing when the charts start to buck and the smart weirdos start to flail and vaguely gesture like this

Before I clicked through, I assumed this was about our government/political system. Equally applicable…

yepppppp.

I hope this is more true than wishful thinking.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Yes. Got kicked out even.

That's the craziest thing ever said.

Alright time for the ritual. Time to post our favorite part

This is so well said.

The elder millennial existence consists entirely of alternating geopolitical and financial crises

Seems bad.

“The support comes as rural hospital closures have left tens of millions of people with fewer health care options.

The East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, now named after Parton, has operated with an ‘open-door” policy that no child would be denied care …’”

Even if you don’t care at all about sports or sports betting, I’m imploring you to understand that our entire culture is now one giant, mostly unregulated sportsbook.

Needless to say, that’s not a good thing pretty-good.ghost.io/sports-betti...

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

What should be apparent, at this point, to all watching is that this is Government-as-Racketeering. It's their one, and only approach to education, to elections, to State's Rights, to tech, to media, to polls. It's all just extortion, all the way down. And it works because nobody who matters cares.

so in conclusion, the state of the union is actually very bad because a man who tried to end democracy is using the government to personally enrich himself and his buddies while executing citizens and noncitizens alike

This is fucking appalling and I don’t know how long we white women are going to let other women get away with this bullshit.

"ICE agents are the equivalent of cartel hitmen" is a wild take, but Mike Lee is here for it.

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Wow.

The CBC made this clever & cute video that uses kids to explain the rules of curling:

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.
