I confused Marc Theissen with Marc Andreessen but the issue remains that it's really pathetic that the Vice President of These United States is participating in a burrito discourse flame war

for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.

In Cuba, all education is public, and it's all free, up through graduate and medical school. Capitalism shrinks human endeavor and knowledge to a narrow profit motive. Communism has the political will for education to flourish.

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

It's the last week before Senate recess and @kaine.senate.gov is forcing a vote on SJ Res 193 to prevent Trump from using US money to attack Cuba. The blockade is itself an act of war! Call your Senators and tell them no war on Cuba, lift the blockade and Let Cuba Live!

You can see the entire thought process, straight line from someone in Boston complaining that they want their own Mamdani to the Wu PR team being like "what's a quirky little policy we can do ?" and "everyone loves dogs..."

If you are in charge of sending checks to freelancers or anyone who has contracted with you for services at your job, paying them on time is your top priority and a moral imperative. You need to make your company pay for the services they received, no excuses.

Well, it’s invoicing day, and since they’re really apparently not going to pay me for something I wrote for them two months ago, I guess today is the day to post about how @vulture.com fucks over its film freelancers. Long (sorry) thread, with receipts:

trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry

Nobody ever explained to me what a passkey is or how they work. Websites just started asking me for passkeys like it's something we talked about.

Listen, I will watch that damn lip sync every time, and Holland can dance better than 90 percent of men, but frankly, his technique isn't good enough for Astaire, and I'd prefer they hired a dancer instead of an actor. Best case he trains his ass off and pulls it out. We'll see

America’s 6-decade embargo of Cuba has been a disaster—not for the Cuban government, but for the Cuban people: ❌Power grid collapsed 8x ❌Daily water shortages for 3 MILLION Cubans ❌Infant mortality rate doubled ❌Childhood cancer survival rates down. It’s Gaza in slow motion.

I cannot stress enough how everything is made up and the points don't matter. The winner of Calvinball is whoever has the most will to power.

The State Department has released a 99-page report that labels Cuba as the “ideological capital” of left-wing politics in a document seemingly imitating Cold War politics published amid the Trump administration’s fascistic crackdown on the left.

Tim: For All Mankind is basically a catalog of all the horrible ways you can die in space. Me, every episode: FUCK, I HADN'T THOUGHT OF THAT ONE

The Trump administration has escalated the decades-long embargo on Cuba, cutting off the island’s access to oil, choking its energy grid, and accelerating a humanitarian crisis for ten million people....

Cyclists are being killed and Jon Keller thinks that advocates (who he calls "bike supremacists") aren't being nice enough. Seriously, fuck this guy. I'm not linking to this absolute piece of trash essay.

Not for nothing, Taco Bell was a client at my last job and those boys were LOVELY. So friendly, capable, well-organized...

Remember that the Batista regime put Fidel in jail for the Moncada barracks attacks and the speech he made on the stand (History Will Absolve Me) is a major reason why the Cuban masses joined the revolutionary July 26th movement.

It is patently criminal for the administration to even threaten to designate its political opponents as terrorists, and DSA should under no circumstances be trying to dodge the firing squad.
