Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social · yesterdayI feel like this platform is a safe space for me to say that I’ve gotten a lot of comments on my new YouTube channel from people saying they’re so glad I’m making videos because they don’t read and it’s scaring me a little
Show this to those people who somehow only learned since like 2022 that Elon is absolutely a full of shit huckster — the evidence was always there!

"I went up there with my book, and I sat down with this dog named Auggie. I started to read to him, and after we had to leave, I started to cry, because I didn't want to leave the humane society," the 11-year-old said.
11-year-old who read more than 100 hours to shelter animals shares his story
Nehemiah Turner, 11, told ABC News he hopes his reading helps soothe animals who are waiting for new homes at the local humane society.

Back when this Grey (and Black) aesthetic started taking over my hometown of San Francisco we called it “Flipper Grey”. It has nothing to do with generations, it has everything to do with capital.
Jack Saint@lackingsaint.bsky.social · last mo.No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this
![Millennial grey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A kitchen with beige grey floors, drab walls, brushed steel appliances, and grey granite countertops.
Grey floors and furnishings are said to appeal to Millennial tastes.
Millennial grey refers to a desaturated colour scheme that is said to appeal to the interior design sensibilities of the Millennial Generation in the early 21st century.[1] Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair attributed its widespread adoption to a desire among Millennials for "a flexible, sensible choice that will last years, hide any stains, and can be adapted to different schemes."[1] Some have diagnosed Millennial grey as a reaction to the warm hues of the late 20th century.[2]
Millennial grey is polarising, particularly when used with imitation-wood-texture sheet vinyl flooring, which many describe as depressing, soulless, or corporate.[3][4] Although attributed to Millennials, the grey colour scheme is often chosen by house flippers, vacation rental owners, or other people who do not actually live in the greyed properties.[3] Thus, the occupant of the property—Millennial or not—has little say in its colour scheme, particularly when deployed for fixtures such as flooring.[4] The greying may have been driven, in part, by a desire to prepare properties for sale in a manner thought to be least offensive to the average buyer.[5] Given the housing crises gripping many countries in the early to mid-21st century, buyers and renters may feel they have no choice but to accept a property decked in Millennial grey.[4]
To the extent that Millennial grey is said to be enjoyed by Millennials, it is also said to be loathed by Generation Z.[1][2]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:atdbmignbrjbjgj2ba4axnwl/bafkreidgcz72oqo4dwsqlv2ovhewwekbfxdo7ydluyrffhlijqkg2546gy)

I find this quote to be utter horseshit and not edifying in the least Graham is just another power monger with a story to sell. Aside from the fact that he was an awful person who shouldn’t be listened to in the first place due to his awfulness, this quote is just obviously untrue!
David Roberts@volts.wtf · last mo.An amazing quote from Lindsey Graham in this Atlantic story. It really captures an essential truth about politics that too few people ever really come to terms with. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Indeed! This Bastille Day, let’s celebrate reconnecting with earth, with each other, with well-grown food, and with the necessity of storming the Bastille wherever we may find it in our own societies… today, I’m thinking it’s the ICE death camps! As JDM tends to say: “onwards ever!” Thx Jason!

Junk mail has been sucking — and sucking up resources and time — for DECADES and although it might not seem like the biggest issue, I think it actually well represents how fucked and nonsensical modern bourgeois society is

Borders are fake, the Supreme Court is dominated by fascists, and their continued rulings to enable assholes to further dominate society, rule over the masses, and cause misery are disgusting. Sometimes it seems like the only “realistic” politics left is to burn it all down!

Remember how you used to just know everyone’s phone number? Then cell phones came out and you could barely recite your own number? That’s what AI’s endgame is but for every aspect of your life.
Curious if anyone out there has writing leads on the question of “authoritarianism” — that is, critiques of that framing. I’ve got an inclination that Marxist-Leninists have written such critiques, against anarchist ideas, but I’m not familiar enough with these critiques to engage them. Any leads?
It’d be so nice to see some headlines about “Corrupt Regimes” and all that, applied to the most evil and corrupt one of them all (for once)!
