if woke 3.0 or whatever sweeps in one advantage it would have over the reactionaries is, the list of people needing to be hauled out of their homes and put on trial is like, comparatively tiny. few billionaires, trumps family and cabinet, etc. -- dont have to declare war on whole states like they do
no one clocked Donald Trump as early or accurately as Berkeley Breathed
Luke Steuber@coolhand.bsky.social · 3y agoThis bloom county about trump from 1987 is wildly spot on
I hope AOC finds love BUT “hot single president” would incite some of the most insane content ever produced by human beings
Lots of excitement about the squeaky beach sounds in Big Walk! You'll all be happy to know it's the real thing! Was absolutely giddy to get to record them on an actual Australian squeaky beach in Wilson's Promontory. Yes, if you didn't know some beaches there really do squeak. It is pure joy.
This guy might also be the unluckiest trebuchet victim in the archaeological record. Edward I spent 3 months watching his catapult, Warwolf, being built, only to have the castle surrender before he could use it. Apoplectic wth rage, Edward ordered them back inside so he could play with his new toy.
Andrew Curry@andrewcurry.com · 15h agoThe man's skeletal injuries looked like a train hit him, but he died in 1304 CE. At #ppa26Berlin last week, @uniofbradford.bsky.social scientist Jo Buckberry concluded he was likely whacked by a flying boulder, making him the first confirmed trebuchet death in the archaeological record. @science.org
we can reform capitalism by introducing a "win state" where after you reach a certain threshold of wealth your assets are nationalized and you get to go to a farm upstate
I would happily podcast about how I was kind of a shithead when I was in my early 20’s but now it’s super rad to walk in a park with some buds. I don’t litter, I donate blood, and I respect boundaries Let me be a be-normie influencer.
Better Things Are Possible@internethippo.bsky.social · 15h agoA Civilian Conservation Corps that pays young people to go online and talk about hanging out and being nice to their neighbors or whatever. We will brainwash this country into being normal
There are no financial incentives for it but we need a thousand Normal Guy politics/culture youtubers/podcasters to drown out the malevolent antisocial ones. If there's still a government in a couple years they need to do a New Deal program that funds them
this is a genuinely brilliant and (seriously) realistically achievable project/program that would probably work:

84 years ago, on the 11th of August 1942, actress/inventor Hedy Lamarr and composer/inventor George Antheil received a patent for a frequency hopping "Secret Communications System" which later served as a basis for wireless telephones, two-way radio communications, and Wi-Fi. #otd #history🗃️

We're just a few generations away from wars being fought over possession of a reliquary thought to contain Glup Shitto's foreskin.

tbh I would support either full legalization of casino gambling in Texas with regulation or even harsher and more restrictive laws against gambling in Texas because those unregulated gas station "skill based" loop hole slot machines are extremely sketchy and something needs to be done about them
capitalism is increasingly the 'how much sawdust can we add to this sausage before people notice?' experiment, but for EVERYTHING
Catbus@catbus.phd · 2d agothe skeleton key to understanding contemporary consumer culture is that doing a good job costs money so corporations have abandoned the concept

i personally think polymarket and all companies like it should be regulated out of existence and their assets seized by the state
is this motherfucker really doing a politics PSA centered around the legal test for employees vs independent contractors lmfaoooo
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 2d agoIf it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.
Wake me when an ai “breaks containment”, gets into HR, finds 7500 employees illegally misclassified as contractors and files their paperwork with the local departments of labour and/or employment for years of backpay.
its kinda insane that marine mammals wound up as the ocean's apex predators. it turns out milk is so good evolutionarily that it trumps breathing water *in the ocean*
Seva@seva.bsky.social · 3d agoimagine the arrogance it takes to be a marine mammal. you crawl out of the vast dark ocean and onto green sunny land and decide to crawl back in again?
a lot of people on here are very comfortable disparaging milk but as bluesky's premier pro-milk account, let's see you kill a tuna
