"What is different about this No Kings"
You're storming the White House finally?
"... members across the nation will be hosting sign-making parties in order to encourage--"
This verse of "We Didn't Start the Fire" sucks ass.
An oil tanker approaches the strait of Hormuz, collects a gold star and passes through while safely invulnerable
I think I may have cracked it
Capital investment goes into 4 areas A. Premises & machinery B. Transport & materials C1. Wages C2. Surplus value Then it goes into the final commodity stage. Which is split between 2 categories - Workers: C1 Wages. *can't buy it all. Limited consumption. - Capitalist profits: C2 Surplus value. Reinvestment. Debt & rent. Luxury spending. Offshore accounts. Which leads us to the overproduction crisis: - Goods unsold, just sit around or get tossed aside. - Money hoarded, diverted to tax havens. Surplus value not recycled back into economy.
Why capitalism cannot avoid continuous crises of overproduction.
The concentration of capital, and its failure to recycle all the surplus value back into the economy.
Republican-favoring redistricting is a massive issue right now and it’s worth remembering that outside of New York state the most high-profile Democrat to work directly with Republicans to draw Republican maps is Jim Clyburn. It was to protect himself for this run. www.propublica.org/article/how-...
can this be a solution?
Screenshot of a Tweet by @TheChiefNerd inclusing an interview with Sam Altman. The text in the Tweet says: SAM ALTMAN: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”
The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever.
It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.
The list of reasons why there isn't more visible student organizing in the US today is long. But the shortest, simplest answer is this:
Liberal politicians and institutions systematically undermined it for decades, then brutally crushed it when it miraculously rose from the dead.
Remember the "Green Lantern theory of power", that made fun of people who thought the president could do a whole lot by fiat? We certainly don't have any evidence of a president just doing things people tell them can't.
"fallacy" is a weird word to use. the actual conclusion is that yeah, raising cattle feed in the desert is fuckin stupid and wasteful as shit, it's just our hyper anachronistic legal system prevents obviously correct decisions

I also think if you want to understand why Harris failed in 24, you have to take this into consideration. Biden made it abundantly clear he supported the savage beatings and charges against kids who would’ve otherwise been a core part of Harris’ base.
This is a question for children. Grown adults want to know when Trump will be frog-marched through the streets of the Hague for his many & various war crimes to the jeers, rotten vegetables, & rocks of the assembled crowd?

Every single middle and high school in my town has had a walkout in the last 4-6 weeks. Many involved more than half the student body (which is basically unheard of here). Students participated despite threats of disciplinary consequences.
I wish everyone at Grammarly a very expensive lawsuit.

News agencies love to share how a greedy man tries to influence an election with an extremely small percentage of his vast wealth that he acquired by exploiting the labor of underpaid workers.
@angelicabastien.bsky.social and i answer the question of the moment: "what does "sinners" record-breaking oscar nomination haul mean?"
for the academy? everything.
for the future of black film? history tells us it won't change much.

I can simplify it even more: don't kill people!
1000% what happened AND despite this young people CONTINUE TO PROTEST AND TAKE ACTION. That's the thing that I find so damned disingenuous among some of these people.
Every day I collect another piece of supporting evidence for the idea that the pandemic made a dangerously large plurality, if not an outright majority, of Americans go absolutely feral. Zero sense of or interest in how to interact with other humans in shared spaces. None.
"Intelligence is a utility, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Every one of our tech overlords has their own variant of psychosis. Karp's brain is a 5-pound bag of cooked spaghetti with a bunch of lit firecrackers in it.
not that she could've done much. she was dead when it happened.

Could this be a solution?
Ok, hear me out. If we cover this entire territory in solar panels and windfarms we can generate more power than the entire glibal fossil fuel output, and using that we can mount massive mag-lev boosters to the oil ships and fly them over the blockade. QED.
[watching a group of credulous hogs gorge themselves on low-effort racist slop] This aesthetic appeals to me, aesthetically
that is the literal job of a political party.
