Whatever. Why was that fascist dictatorship even invited to the olympics

"We don't have to let atrocities define America" but America was built on atrocities. America sustains itself through atrocities. And America is not alone in that. So perhaps, perhaps clinging to the myths and ignoring the realities isn't actually effective in the slightest

Fortune article headline, Future of Work section: "Elon Musk says saving for retirement is irrelevant because AI is going to create a world of abundance: 'It won't matter'"

Why are we still quoting and platforming Elon Musk like this? He's rich loud villain, why should I care what he says?

Lest we forget this is the same guy who thought there would be no new covid cases by April 2020. His predictions don't have a good track record.

I’m glad to see Bill say this. But when after a century of just the type of abuse we saw today - relentless and cruel, ensnaring our children and intimidating our communities - young Black people said in frustration, anger, and demand for change β€œdefund the police” - so many of you denounced them.

My most nuclear philosophical take, particularly as a student of Black and Africana Philosophy of liberation, is that there is no such thing as a "non-violent" protest.

Any protest that disrupts the activities of life to call attention to injustice is "violence" in the eyes of an oppressive state.

2025 was ICE’s deadliest year in two decades. Here are the 32 people who died in custody The deaths came as the Trump administration ramped up immigration enforcement, detaining a record number of people

ICE’s public violence should be a reminder that they commit brutal acts in private facilities too.

Every report has been horrific and we only have the smallest glimpse into the horrors.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to β€œyou didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Today is a shameful day for the Ford govt who passed Bill 33 despite public opposition and how much it hurts students, parents, and educators.

Ford and Calandra grabbed power for themselves and took away our democratic rights. Democracy is non-negotiable. Today, they treated it like nothing.

Not interested in hearing about "political violence" from people who have never once critiqued the social construct of violence. Never questioned who is allowed to enact violence vs who gets condemned. Never scrutinized violent politics, thinking violence only belongs to the one who pulls a trigger.

It's all genocide. It's mass murder as public policy. They do not care about health, they do not care about the future. They are possessed of a particular antipathy to survival. And it's not rooted in facts or logic so they will not respond to any of that. This is a fight to the death.

Yup. Show me 1 thing that got cheaper after the carbon rebate was removed. I'll wait.

Unsurprisingly, media outlets and pundits are silent on this.

Whenever I get anxious about something at work, I remind myself of 2 things:

1. I receive good feedback, which is evidence of my positive performance

2. My time on this earth is fleeting and none of this really matters
