Listen: they make it difficult if not impossible to mitigate the pandemic they refuse to address, which disables you. You can’t work&lose yr job, thus your insurance, so can’t afford the medical help you desperately need. You wrack up credit&medical debt trying, until you cant afford your home—then?

May Day started in Chicago. Not as a holiday, but as a fight for the 8-hour day and basic dignity at work after the Haymarket Massacre of 1886. That fight didn’t end, it went global as International Workers’ Day. This May Day: Strike. Boycott. Disrupt.

The very one! The only time I've seen her or any Kardashian care about *any* political cause that didn't (seemingly) directly enrich them was when they spoke at length about the Armenian genocide.

lol Kim the capitalist ?

I wouldn't call it gullibility so much as utility. The only time I've seen them care about *any* political cause that didn't (seemingly) directly enrich them was when they spoke at length about the Armenian genocide. If it take Dr. Oz being anti-Armenian for them to pipe up 🤷‍♀️

If you’re outside of Minnesota and you’re wondering how to help, this guide is excellent. And seriously. Take down your Ring doorbell TODAY.

How To Help if You are Outside Minnesota

Last edited January 22, 2026 I’m going to assume that if you’re reading this, you more or less understand the situation in Minnesota and I don’t have to explain it to you! That sa…

saw this clip of the NYC mayor debate and i had tears in my eyes, perhaps the most insane section of any debate ever

I mask to protect myself and my community, yes. But I also mask as a form of swanky af resistance in the face of fascism. Look at these majestic mask options. LOOK AT THEM! 😻

i am begging you to see wearing a mask as the act of daily solidarity with your fellow man that you are looking for. now is the time. if you don’t know where to start, see some brands i like n wear in the vid, & if you need free masks (or want to donate some), try: maskbloc.org covidactionmap.org

Tech companies will tell you to not bring politics to work. Then do this. Airbnb is spending $1M in ads to attack opponents of Cuomo for not supporting short-term rentals. Whether you're pro or anti-Airbnb, they shouldn't influence elections. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

The tech giant is going after Mamdani, Stringer and Lander — which only helps Cuomo.

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea? 139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea. A 🧵

I cannot emphasize enough how much stories like this are a form of uncritical advertising for AI companies. I understand the impulse to take them at their word when they wonder aloud if their giant matrix multiplication engines are about to become sentient, but it should be resisted.

I had a joke about Orpheus, but it was kind of sad in hindsight.

I had a joke about Eris’s Apple of Discord but only one of you would get it.

I'm not sure which of you need to hear this, but: If you push yourself to your limits and burn out for a company, you are trading years of your future productivity for minor gains in the present. Burning out will _fuck you up_, it's like brain fog or depression, and it takes years to recover

You know the culture is changing when the hairdresser you've gone to for 20 years casually drops the R word 2x in conversation. Never heard her say it before 😬

Drake’s fall from grace—from pop superstar to rap beef punchline—is proof that we as a nation can turn away from Trumpism with the proper amount of ridicule and grassroots communal celebration I will not be taking questions at this time

this is the most patriotic I’ve felt since 9/11

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

You can honor David Lynch by wearing a mask in public. He had to begin isolating at home because he has emphysema- a COVID infection would likely be fatal- and no one wears masks anymore. Millions of others like him (including myself) were left behind when COVID measures were abandoned

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.
