Yep. Corporations defanged the one minuscule sanction consumers have — not choosing their good or service — if they can convince us that expressing dissatisfaction will hurt a worker and not the company. It’s a neat trick.
What qualifies as large-scale? I’ve seen images or flyers for protests in many major cities, and several in Pittsburgh as well.
🔍 How does economic inequality impact beliefs in meritocracy?
Using comprehensive survey data from 39 advanced capitalist democracies over more than three decades, Markus Gangl & I examine how rising economic inequality has been shaping citizens' belief in meritocracy.

Happy birthday capital markets we got you burning oil fields as a gift. We know you like your dinosaur bones hotter than a planet headed for catastrophic climate change. Don’t forget to jump you fuckers.
Painting of a couple buildings it's ducks on the water on a blue night yellow orange light coming from the windows of the buildings for streaks on the surface of the water as does the light of a Rising Moon

A DUDE THINKING SOME SERIOUSLY DEEP THOUGHTS.
THE BEST HOODIE OF ALL TIME
MY CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MACHINE. A "CUTE CATBOY" AND BEANS.
SO THIS SHIT RULES. youraislopbores.me
Incredible artwork, incredible life, an incredible loss to Pittsburgh and the world. Thaddeus Mosley has died at age 99 (!) leaving behind an incredible collection of sculptural work; seek them out!
Legalize sex work. Make it safe for all concerned.
One of the many reasons Shapiro isn’t fit as a leader for working people. Taking $2.5M from Bloomberg shows us the politicians he’s most aligned with. We’ll see more data centers, more support of business interests. Less about changing the conditions for PA residents. No way he can compete in ‘28
the one who loved horses, the one who was a great goalkeeper, the one who kept a diary every day, the one who held her sister's hand when they walked to school, the one who read Harry Potter in English, the one who collected old coins, the one who drew rainbows for her grandmother ...

Not when those poor police could use the funds to say they’re protecting me and answer shot spotter alerts that have a 39% false report rate!
I’ve often heard it out of some terrible fear of the slippery slope, too. Like, they rummaged through the cars! Next we have to worry about graffiti! Then we’ll have gang violence! Here. In front of my house!
Well SOME of us are really bad at the repetitive things and remembering whether we did it (thanks executive function). So I just figure the kids can periodically win at roulette
I feel as though that lightning cable needed a new owner, anyway.
Feeling fortunate that we happened to have a medical emergency in the right place with the right expert with a compatible communication style 3 years ago.
Really hate our health"care" system.
Leave it to fragile men to not know how to deal with their feelings… and leave destruction in their wake
I was radicalized by a kind elderly Presbyterian minister in a brightly colored cardigan who played with puppets and told me that people could like me exactly as I am and that everyone is different and that's great and we should like them exactly as THEY are.
It’d be cool if progressives didn’t point to fat people like “We can all agree this is a public policy failure…”
I’ve been watching so much of this fascism happen, knowing I’m doing what I can.
But the thing that really knocks me sideways is how we’ve really failed the kids. In education around Covid, in keeping them safe from goons, and all the rest.
It’s hard. I’m so sorry.
Just wanting to make sure the whistle crew is aware of this change!

@governorwalz.mn.gov what are you doing? Folks in MN are days away from rent being due but 10s of thousands of people are being impacted by ICE and the Federal government. You need to push to pass a rent moratorium until ICE IS OUT of MN. Please move on this fast.
Also, the incumbency disease means that the Democratic Party in the state will smother anyone who even considers a run against him. The Commonwealth Government could be so much better!
WE ARE LIVE, EVERYBODY!!!!
starting in just a few minutes! get ready for sooo much fun! donations are already rolling in, hot damn I love you all
The beauty of supporting my immigrant friends and neighbors means that I have the joy of relying on them for their help.
I'll never be able to understand someone who believes we should live in a monoculture. There's just too much beauty in what we can learn from one another.
Submissions for this year's Keeley Schenwar Memorial Essay Prize, for writers who are incarcerated or formerly incarcerated, are open!
The prize honors my sister, who died tragically in 2020 after many years in & out of incarceration.
Please help us spread the word.❤️

I’ve noticed the uptick in satellite pollution since Starkink launched and it really ruins the beauty of the night sky— more than that— it negatively impacts astronomical observations and impedes discoveries. Stargazing and wonder is a human right
“You don't need to wait for nonprofit directors, leaders, or block captains, or a more organized neighborhood to give you permission,” Melvin explained. “Just get out there and do it.”
This is SO helpful in this moment of time
I think the You’re Wrong About episode(s) are worth a listen. How the media (and all of us) did Tanya dirty much like most women at the time.
In many cases, the Flock destruction was clearly intended as a public message, as in Eugene, OR, where the saboteurs left note at the scene that read "Hahaha get wrecked ya surveilling fucks."
The message was carried on the local news. At the end of the year, Eugene terminated its Flock contract.
