And when enough poor ppl unify it will change.
In a sense, it is true that rich ppl reward class consciousness when it involves complying with hatred of the poor and promoting classism whenever possible. Again this is a point of vulnerability that can be changed.
Apparently there are at least three probable cases of a rare bacterial illness known as tularemia, or "rabbit fever,” in New York; and while I suppose it’s always worthwhile to learn something new, at this point I’m getting tired of learning about new illnesses.
This is the work of Damian Castellini and extremely accurate.
So I posted about the Kickstarter that Harvey Pekar's daughter huge is running to fund sorting his huge archive of papers. She put some stuff on ebay to help raise funds, too. I couldn't pass on this. Harvey's copy of Rolling Stone from June 1970, with coverage of the Kent State Massacre!
“Because we don’t want to. We like this and it’s what we want. It’s everything we worked for our whole careers. Does that make sense?”
Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
well it looks like i went viral and tbh i couldn't give less of a fuck about anyone's pithy little comments
nobody says trans people have good faith concerns when we talk about how transphobic policies impact us. we are “pushing an agenda.” total reversal of what’s actually happening
10 years ago, when cis people & orgs backed trans rights in response to the NC bathroom bill the result was the state reversing course & the governor losing his bid for reelection. We arrived at this moment because ostensible cis allies like this pusillanimously abandoned us after the 2020 election.
What *actually* happens if the Fever, Storm, W, PA or anyone else involved responds strongly? The organizers get what they want and peddle more "intolerant left" BS. Another week of on-court stories being overshadowed. Nobodys mind is changed. Materially, no trans person is better off.
Honestly trans rights is a number 1 issue for me because not only does it indicate you don’t give a shit about trans people, it demonstrates how important human rights are to you in general, how in thrall you are to right wing press, how much bullshit you’ll swallow, etc etc
Based on current data the CDC has received reports of over 19,200 cyclospora cases (with most not yet confirmed), which is just further proof that slashing funding at the CDC and FDA, while making monitoring of cyclospora optional, was an explosively shitty idea.
"Anyone who speaks of revolution and class struggle without referring explicitly to everyday life—without grasping what is subversive about love and positive in the refusal of constraints—has a corpse in his mouth." —Raoul Vaneigem, The Revolution of Everyday Life brooklynrail.org/2011/12/last...

Tattoo it, if you must. But move with this understanding.
99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa
They've flogged the trans horse to glue and are on to the next targets. Abortion, ADHD, Autism. They're starting at the front of the woke dictionary, apparently.
Channel 4 has announced documentary “The Great ADHD Myth?” It “seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct.”
we should charge the C-suite with fraud and theft if they take a tax credit meant to keep people employed and then cut staff anyway.
Pixar receives a $26.2 Million Tax credit to keep film jobs in CA, and immediately lays off 10% of its work force, after making over a billion from Toy Story 5, the highest-grossing film of 2026.
They specifically want books before 2022 because they are uncorrupted by AI. They need books that have not been poisoned by the poison they are making. It's just like pre-war steel. They invented cultural radiation.
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.

if you're doing Harry Potter in 2026 I am gonna question whether you also have Hitler's landscapes on your walls. which would actually be better* because at least Hitler is dead and not still contributing to his cause *but still fucking heinous, don't get me wrong
Anyone doing any kind of Harry Potter promotion in 2026 has looked at the options and deliberately chosen evil.
How do we help with this, give us a plan

The early years of labor organizing were like this too. People with money don’t think they need to listen to people without money, but statistically- there are more of us than them.
The anti-data center movement is like "I don't want to pay more money for a thing that will not benefit me at all and will actively make my life measurably worse in a bunch of ways" and the pro-data center movement is like "We want it to be illegal for you to not like us."
