No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.
Truthout@truthout.org · yesterdayRep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.
I don't know that it makes him presidential material but Ossoff's ability to just be honest about how much of a pile of shit these people really are should be a model to the party.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayOSSOFF: Mike Collins called for killing immigrants by throwing them to their deaths out of helicopters. I'd like to hear if Mike Collins stands by that statement. Do you still believe in the extrajudicial killing of immigrants? MIKE COLLINS: *changes topic*
Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.
We need to make Stephen Miller's nightmares come true. Jot that down as a platform plank.

There's a simple piece of technology that can prevent cyclists and pedestrians from being run over and killed by truck drivers. But few trucks operating on New York City's streets are required to have it — and many of those trucks get an exemption from the city itself. youtube.com/shorts/EWQWy...
This simple tech could save your life. Why don't all trucks have it? #nyc #truck #safety

Your daily reminder that more people are playing and buying PC games than ever before. This is a growing industry. The only reason the industry is struggling is because the people are the top are vacuuming up all the money made to divert it to AI in an unhinged all-in multi-trillion-dollar gamble.

This is obvious race-baiting, flailing dictator wannabe bullshit. But they still haven’t learned how tough Rep. Omar is. She’s also incredibly popular in her district: won her last election with approx 75% of the vote despite both conservative Democrats and ALL Republicans trying to take her out.

Watching this happen with COVID really changed how I looked at people.
the speed at which human beings move from "this terrible thing exists" to "everyone just has to learn to live with it" is truly alarming and illuminating. Immediately moving to compliance. Watching this in real time is incredible.

They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.
I could be wrong but pointing out that Republicans are, in fact, Nazis, and then explaining in detail why they are Nazis, might be an effective line of attack!
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6d agoQ: Many feel you have not addressed the fact your son in law is a white supremacist influencer. What have you said to your family? COLLINS: That's my family OSSOFF: Imagine running for Senate while neo-Nazi propaganda is disseminated to an audience of millions from your home. That's Mike Collins.

What sort of nation would revere the traditions of such institutions and protect such men? Our own."

You can support capital punishment for a mass murderer and also know that only savage, backwards autocracies like Iran, the Taliban, and North Korea televise state executions and it's not a club we should belong to. I promise, it's actually very easy to do.
Productivity as an adult is just an endless process of applying new psychological tricks and operant conditioning to yourself until an acceptable number of tasks are completed.

To expand on this: Bigotry isn't a result of an innocent misunderstanding, or not having all the facts. It's not a choice made rationally, defeated with a rational argument. Bigotry is a self-protective, foundational belief used to help make the world make sense to them. Debate won't change that.
