544·16 hours agoin a just world, every person on that panel who dismissed her concerns would have a black bag pulled over their head and they’d wake up in a prison in El Salvador.
3·16 hours agomaybe. it might also be that most of the damage is the result of a few particular bad actors… arguably a large amount of the runaway environmental destruction we’ve witnessed is the accumulated result of a very small portion of the population being allowed to do whatever the fuck they want whenever the fuck they want for ~200 years?
we could test this theory out, empirically. I propose an experiment where we, um, neutralize, the top 1% who directly facilitate eco-cide in pursuit of corporate profits and then we’ll see if nature improves.
check mate, libruhls!!!1
20·16 hours agoit is a good article. I appreciate when writers can talk not just about what a piece of technology is or can do, but also the impact it it has on people, their memories, and how it fits into the culture.
pickup trucks used to mean something to working class people, but these Deploreans are a gleaming manifestation of petulant man baby individualism born of conspicuous consumption and ostentatious self aggrandizement.
it’s the antithesis of what generations of working people associate with a “truck”.

1300 to go.
the country won’t last that long. an election isn’t going to undo the damage that’s already been done, let alone a thousand more days of carnage.
5·5 days agoI’m glad the tax money my family pays is being so well spent! in addition to paying the CEOs and war financiers a hefty sum, I sleep better at night knowing that my kids will face a more brutal, unjust, uninhabitable future because endless proxy wars around the planet must be maintained at all costs, for the disproportionate benefit of a few thousand people who control half the world’s wealth and for whom the word “enough” has no meaning.

interesting fact: NY 14th district voted for Trump AND for AOC in 2024.
similar split ticket voters can be found across the country.
Trump represented change, violent chaotic change, but change nonetheless. mainstream Dems cannot (will not) offer that. however progressives like AOC at least promise to fight for change.
your point stands still, just worth considering that Trump voters are not a monolith, neither are AOC voters.
what they have in common: they both want CHANGE.
absolutely batshit crazy levels of delusion.
does the richest man in the world think… the “resistance” is… tech billionaires?
does he believe the group recklessly wielding sweeping executive powers, directing raids of homes and schools, imprisoning, threatening, black bag kidnapping dissenters off the street, and deploying the military to the borders… that they are the resistance?!
i know playing the victim is a standard gaslighting fascist rhetorical maneuver… but if he really thinks of himself as a “rebel” outsider. god help us. this man’s continued metabolic equilibrium puts us all in grave danger.
ah yes, this will really help with economic uncertainty forecasts and restoring predictability in how financial institutions behave.
tbf, there’s also a lot of immensely powerful corporations and political propagandists who invested heavily in Rogan over the years into him becoming a huge success.
it wasn’t all organic popularity, media platforms, Spotify, advertisers and a whole slew of griftosphere talking heads made sure his brand of braindead ‘just a regular guy asking questions’ shtick was beamed directly into the brains of males age 25-50 who self identity as ‘independent thinkers’.
it’s easy to manipulate marginally stupid/normal people when you know precisely what topics get them riled up and tuned in to your disinformation machine.
2·9 days agoStitching together 343 distinct photos, Rozells illuminates a growing problem. When Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched Starlink in 2019, 60 satellites filled the skies, with a race from other companies to follow. That number has now topped 10,000, with tens of thousands more in the works. SpaceX alone plans to launch 40,000 more.
Rozells’ composite visually echoes pleas from astronomers, who warn that although satellites collect essential data, the staggering amount filling our skies will only worsen light pollution and our ability to study what lies beyond. Because this industry has little regulation, the problem could go unchecked.
wow, 10k? and 40K more planned… I had no idea
13·9 days agoat first I wondered, is that a sun or a moon… then I realized, it’s more likely a spotlight from a Google AI powered autonomous weapon system hunter-killer drone.
love the skull piles btw!
irresponsible gun owning parents, who literally put firearms into the hands of their homicidal children, need to be held accountable for these tragedies.
dozens of mass shootings in recent years, especially school shootings, were absolutely preventable. if only these fucking lazy stupid ass adults would stop fetishizing guns for 2 seconds, long enough to store their weapons securely like a sane responsible person. or they could, idk, maybe steer their mentally disturbed crotch goblin towards a more pro-social, harmless activity?
firearm ownership is a responsibility too few take seriously.
“This is unacceptable. No one should ever resort to violence or vandalism to make a political point.” Hochul said in a statement in X.

nice how he intentionally conflates vandalism with violence, to make the act of putting tape on a building sound like a level 4 code magenta terrorist attack. these fragile pathetic losers.
i think tik tok might be in a position where they must sell in order to continue serving content to American users
The order was announced as White House officials believed they were nearing a deal for the app’s operations to be spun off into a new company based in the U.S. and owned and operated by a majority of American investors,
the extension only happened because after the TikTok CEO, Shou Chew, threw a big party for right wing influencers during Trump’s record breaking $200M
bribe acceptance partyinauguration, Trump mysteriously halted the order (despite being signed into law) to ban the app.from the article:
Top TikTok executives reportedly rubbed shoulders with American tech leaders and handed out business cards at an elite pre-inauguration donor event on Sunday featuring members of the Trump administration, as the app’s future in the U.S. remains uncertain.
Tiktok executives including CEO Shou Chew and vice president Michael Beckerman were reportedly on hand at the event, which President Donald and First Lady Melania Trump hosted at the National Building Museum in Washington. They joined a reported guestlist including Vice President JD Vance, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and conservative megadonor Miriam Adelson.
geeze, it’s almost like the tech oligarchs told Trump to pause the ban until they could negotiate a way to profit more from acquisition of TikTok (or a newly created US based subsidiary that Bezos is trying to invest in) than by outright banning users access to it, cold turkey.
