there are like two kinds of tech person: "insufferable shithead white cis guy who doesn't want to think about others as long as he gets his toys" & "unhinged trans women who can build a circuit board in the dark & invented a new kind of Sega Saturn emulator" and you should only listen to the latter
chat is it good when you can't sleep for days because of anxiety over the surgery you need to get back to work potentially getting delayed so you end up running out of money and dying because you are already burning through your savings? i hate everyone rn.
nyt has been happily involved in multiple genocide denials in the last few years
Evan Bernick, a finite mode with a smol hooman and a lorg floof@evanbernick.bsky.social · 5h agoThis is very bad, actually. It borders on genocide denial to reduce an overwhelming consensus to “some Indigenous people are saying.”

St. Sabina Catholic Church in Chicago has placed more than 100 crosses outside the parish. Each bears the name of someone who died in ICE custody or during an immigration enforcement action. Union workers built the traveling memorial, which began at Holy Name Cathedral last month.
another day more ice brownshirt bullshit
Eric Umansky@ericumansky.bsky.social · 9h agoWatch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.
The "Party of Reagan" has the United States siding with Russian aggression against NATO allies and a brutal war on a European democratic US partner. Yes, the whole party. If they didn't, they would impeach and remove the president who is blatantly breaking US law to help fund Russia's war effort.
Mamdani: "What you could see in the videos is bystanders outside unsure as to what they were even seeing. Because in that imagery, it feels as if you’re almost looking at a mass shooter as opposed to seeing someone who’s purportedly representing a federal agency."
for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.
Just a reminder that when Dems turn against trans people for power, it's also a reminder that they'll do other things for power that you might not like too, such as supporting billionaires.
CalMatters@calmatters.org · yesterdayGavin Newsom backs measure to kill the billionaire tax and ban future wealth taxes Gov. Gavin Newsom isn't just fighting the billionaire tax. He's backing Prop. 42, which would ban future wealth taxes in California, too.
The dirty secret is that rich people need to live in politically stable regimes in order to keep their wealth. They will piss and moan about taxes, but they will not flee en masse. They like paved roads and not being kidnapped too much.
Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social · 3d agoNew working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854
Repeat after me: Yes on 40, no on 41 and 42, which are designed to cancel out 40!

"Protect the Dolls" is offensive to people who want to hurt the dolls, actually.
Mike (They/Them) 🏳️⚧️🇵🇸🏴@mxmike.co.uk · 24h agoBethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly
unexpected looking cutes problem: loose hairs wrapping around my back mole and nearly cutting it off. oucies.
I mean, no, the reason cops are disproportionately likely to say they believe rates of false allegations are higher than they are is because cops are disproportionately likely to do things that would make them the subject of allegations that are true
Mother Jones@motherjones.com · yesterdayThe police said she lied about being raped. Then she hit record.
my alarm: goes off gf: ugh wha? me: where sun? me: oh right the remnants of Isaias.
if you want to modernize carrie white then she is not a pretty, misunderstood quiet girl. what she is is a "lolcow", a girl who does not fit in and is seen as a bit grotesque and is systematically provoked until she breaks, with a goal of milking her for content.
a thing about carrie, the novel, is that carrie *is* weird and judgmental and unpleasant to deal with. characters have to suppress their irritation with her, and this is important because it's easy to reach out to someone who conforms to social norms. it's harder to do that to a girl who doesn't.
