I hate to say this, but we need to hold people responsible for destroying communities. Amd, of course, corporations. It's entirely unacceptable that PG&E still exists, after multiple felony convictions for killing innocent civilians. We need to live in reality, not denial.

Remembering Utøya means refusing to compromise with far-right nationalism. Remembering Utøya means attacking the political and economic power of the oligarchs who promote far-right ideas. Remembering Utøya means continuing to fight for international social democracy.

This. So much this. When people ask me where I land politically, I have always answered "I'm a Democratic Socialist. I don't exist in the US." Nothing would please me more than us (DSA) taking over the Democratic party and giving voters a meaningful choice in elections.

My friend, they ARE Democrats. YOUR version of Democrats are being eclipsed. The Dem socialists aren’t like MAGA or Tea Party in any set of beliefs but the idea of pushing harder away from trying to please the centrists is very compelling to people and can win elections.

So I saw an ad on TV for a movie called... wait for it... DISCLOSURE DAY! Double take. No way. The Onion is *not* paying for parody movie ads. Maybe it's a self parody like Airplane? Sometime later, ad runs again. I unmute. Nope, an actual thriller. I just. I can't even.

You might remember us from five minutes ago telling you NFTs and crypto was the future then running off with all your money. Here we are again with another fucking thing that sucks.

If you are still considering voting for Steyer, take a long, hard look at this irrefutable evidence of his absolute contempt for women. If you still vote for him after that, kindly remove yourself from my life.

For the @wired.com Big Interview this week, I interviewed California gubernatorial hopeful and billionaire Tom Steyer. It was a tough hang for many reasons, but particularly because he didn't know who he was talking to.

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them
