Corporate landlords are using an algorithmic platform called RealPage to share pricing data and artificially raise your rent, and 3 of the corporations already sued for this price-fixing run 1 in 10 rental units in Cambridge and Somerville alone. @votejivan.bsky.social
In last night's Senate debate, when Seth Moulton was asked about his past comments scapegoating trans youth and whether he believed Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza, his evasions were telling.
Yup. Btw, if I say anything shitty please call me out. I don't want to be like a Gen X stand-up thinking my decent worldview from 2003 needs zero edits.

Book burning with a profit motive. The cyberpunk future we got continues to be so much shittier than the one we are warned about.
Dr. Jeroen W.P. Wijnendaele@drdragases.bsky.social · last wk.No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
Can't help but agree. Wired earbuds can be picked up almost anywhere for under $20, Bluetooth I always see for for 2x-3x that price. Also, half the time the cheap ones don't connect.
Snitty@clofsnitville.bsky.social · 7d agoMy RETVRN take for the day is that if phones had headphone jacks fewer people would be walking around with them at full volume for the world to hear.
"what if 'space jam' but 'a simple action?'" is a pretty fun idea.

public transit teaches you that weird behavior is rarely dangerous, driving teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times
Replying “All life is crisis” someone asks if I’m having a midlife crisis
To my great relief, my coworker was shocked to find out I'm an only child. Thank god.
It's fucking stupid that as a nation we fear and despise any hint of the government looking out for its citizens but blatant white supremacy is a difference of opinion.
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 2w agoAOC: I believe in guaranteeing health care to every American. I believe in raising the minimum wage. I believe in strong unions. And so, yeah, if a Republican wants to call a stronger union communist, they’re more than welcome to do that. I’m not going to be deterred.

actual gestapo shit. "Video posted on social media showed two plainclothes Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents appearing to handcuff a man at a Las Vegas airport while he screamed in terror."

I just don't think it's great that the smoke from wildfires is what saved the Northeast from a "real feel" temp of 103°F today.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

if we're arguing social media is too dangerous for kids 16 and under, we're basically saying it impacts the brain and potentially body like an addictive drug. this IS kinda true. people seldom carry that logic to its end. doing that would mean admitting every adult online is getting fucked up 24/7
Maybe I'm stupid, but why do they have to work at all? Nobody's been tried or convicted, it's a civil offense if they're guilty, and if they're just there to be held while they're being processed, why are they being made to work? Do you have to work while awaiting a civil trial?

Tulips are a waste of time and money. They don't rebloom (plant 100 this fall, you get 100 next year and maybe 9 the year after), Ave they only look good until it's actually nice enough to go outside, then your whole yard looks like the dumpster behind a vegan restaurant. Plant hellebores instead.
