facebook is such a garbage company. it profitably distorts everything it touches. core human things – human connection, our sense of what's real, our sense of history. if you work for facebook, you made this.

In 2024, Sawant campaigned hard to defeat Trump's only feasible opponent. Workers, immigrants, climate, affordability, my trans neighbor's rights... In effect, Sawant campaigned to maximize harm to every cause she claims to support. ✅ @electioncheatsheet.org ✅ @theurbanist.org _ The Strangr Ballot

No. In space. Disrupt. Move fast, break [their] things. Make something investors want. Think big. Pull that rug.

lol "2,224 posts" "markmark206 hasn't posted" i wonder what happened 😂
when you spend your life funding and scaling a system that selects for future-faking, then "wonder" why everything is a lie. "If you're Sam Altman, you don't have to be profitable to convey to investors that you'll succeed with or without them. (He wasn't, and he did.)" pg, 2008
When we talk about the Epstein files, we talk about the victims, the perpetrators, and the corruption of justice. We also talk about the kremlin reshaping the United States by capturing and selecting its "elites" with honeytraps and kompromat.
my uncle knows everything about Hawaii. no, he's never been. why? anyway, please invest in Sam's open "hawaii expert" non-profit offering.
The Age of Turbulence, by Greenspan, an Amazon review ★★★★☆ credit is overdue So insightful. Alan gets what he created better than anyone. He's too modest to take credit for his life's work, but we know. Debiting one star – I'd like a refund, but no. People who bought this also bought nothing.
The wrong date aside, "Epic Fury" is the most thoughtful and expensive birthday present Vladimir has ever received since the murder of Politkovskaya, the murder of Nemtsov, and the attack on Israel.

Pokopia is what's left after President Nook's last stage capitalism ran its course.

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.
Timothy Snyder@timothysnyder.bsky.social · 6mo agoWe have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. snyder.substack.com/p/lies-and-l...
I used to be the mayor of a magical island. These days, I pillage remote islands for President Nook.
"Tensions in Minneapolis", "Shot and Killed" – a brutality-obscuring, reality-bending framing from the paper of record. A US citizen was tackled, disarmed, beaten, pinned to the ground, and then shot at point-blank range. "Summary Execution", "Extrajudicial Killing", "Execution-Style Killing." 🥾👅
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 6mo agoFederal law enforcement agents shot and killed a person in Minneapolis on Saturday morning, according to local and federal officials. The shooting prompted a clash between the authorities and protesters who gathered at the scene. Follow live updates. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.gov · 7mo agoThis is horrifying beyond belief. No one in their right mind can see this and think it is ok. ICE is out of control. Don't let anyone look away and remind everyone that this Republican Congress could put a stop to this TODAY.
