Time to read the words of Jesus in The Gospels. You won’t find him telling us to step on the necks of the poor. Instead, one might find that the meek will inherit the Earth.

Wearing your religion on your sleeve is never a sign of being religious.

The party of life. Sick f***s. They want to ENSURE suffering, poverty, illiteracy. They need cheap labor. An undereducated, underfed population suits their purposes.

There are two basic ways to respond to criticism.

The first is to listen, consider whether it has merit, and act accordingly.

The second is to become defensive and hostile because your fear/pride can't accept being wrong.

Most people (myself included sometimes, I admit) usually choose the latter.

In response to Anton Brakhage.
The interesting thing is, those that claim that the media is the enemy of the people have no problem when any news source puts a negative spin on any positive news that comes out of this White House, so it's a total confirmation bias no matter which way the wind blows.

Agree 100% with this. Am convinced our most important step 1 is to keep hope alive. Visualizing doom (no matter how close it seems) is a plus for doom. Instead visualize behind the scenes work getting int’l agreements re minimum corporate taxation agreed to in 2021 by the G20, the investigation into

There are two futures:

In one, Democrats control the government for at least a decade while we shore up civil rights, fend off Putin and Xi, rebuild the working class, and start addressing the climate crisis.

In the other, the world descends into fascism, poverty and war for the foreseeable future

My kind local Turkish takeaway took pity on me today: I accidentally ordered this multi-person banquet item instead of a basic meal and only realized when they said what it cost. They let me change it even though, I think, they'd actually already started :O Tip + a good Google review + good vibes!

BREAKING: Hunter Biden gained 41 trademarks in China, made $640 million while “working” in daddy’s administration, and received $2 billion from the people behind 9/11.

Now that I got Republicans’ attention. That was actually Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.

I tried out an app that lets you buy surprise food bags from various places, with items that'd otherwise be thrown away as I understand it, way downpriced. I like the surprise element of it mainly. No decisions. Not 100% sure I didn't get a slight "why not pay full price Mr" side-eye but no matter!

Timely (if not belately) research. Social media has been reeking havoc on political discourse. In large part this is due to the fact that social media built a perfect inroad for Russian disinfo, but the polarization is also build into the algos.

Maybe some mitigations might be a good idea, please? Like, no mask mandates, heaven forbid, but mask encouragement messaging, in public transport? WFH as an option? Basic air filtration rules for businesses?

Ocarina
#WoodwindInstruments

The ocarina is a wind musical instrument; it is a type of vessel flute. A typical ocarina is an enclosed space with 4-12 finger holes and a mouthpiece that projects from the body.

I decided to have some fun with it!

Non-competes are a trap.

They block workers from seeking out higher wages or better conditions.

Meanwhile, they sabotage the economy by depriving growing businesses of needed talent.

They serve one thing only: corporate monopolies who want to kill off their competition.

Good explainer video on N95 masks and why simplisitic anti-mask arguments are based on an incorrect model of how they work - e.g., they're not like sieves that let too-small particles through, but it's more like they have tangles of "sticky" fibres that attract and capture particles.
