America's capitalism is obsessed with debt obligations and minimizing career opportunities.

US standard of life is plummeting to prop up billionaires.

KKK said the same thing about the hoods.

Charles Manson never killed a single person with his own hands. He was still held accountable for the murders his rhetoric led others to commit.

Thinking about this for absolutely no reason.

the American concept of free speech is utterly flawed because it doesnt consider speaking to be an action. "Sticks and Stones may break my Bones but Words will never harm me" is one of the worst saying from the anglophonie, not only does it dismiss psychological harm, it also doesnt consider the fact that words can make someone else break your bones, often in ways that theyre not even entirely accountable for. Human dignity shall be inviolable.

“Cats don’t actually love you”

A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.

Don’t you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it’s helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.

Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic.

John Oliver gets it, as usual. AI Slop is one of the best episodes of Last Week Tonight I've seen so far. Gen AI is theft. Those who use it are not authors or artists, they're grifters profiting from real creatives.

Immigrants are the solution. Immigrants have empathy and compassion.

Conservative old white men have none. People like Trump are creating problems on every level as they leave this planet in worse shape.

World Central Kitchen will feed the people. Fact.

Conservatives will say 'thoughts and prayers' as they cut safety net policies, withhold food, and gut weather services.

The border is a prop used to scare white people. The scary people are in the White House.

One of my favorite tropes is character with a nasty toxic personality who tries very hard to do the right thing anyway

[mollyjames]

I like my protagonists sad, tired, bitter, fully convinced they will never get the recognition they deserve, but they still gotta get up in the morning and be a good person

Kristi Williams

@kristi_williams_black_history, a Black woman whose aunt survived the Tulsa Massacre, saw Oklahoma trying to silence Black history-and answered with action. She started "Black History Saturdays," free community classes to teach what the schools won't.

Now the room is full, the lessons are real, and the legacy lives on. end caption

This is a heroic feat that shouldn’t be needed. But because it is, a hero emerged.

Protesters block traffic. An ambulance is unable to get where it needs to be. Someone dies as a result.

Many people say that the protesters should be jailed or even shot.

The logic seems to be "if you cause someone to not get the medical care that they need and they die, you should suffer for it".

But that's exactly what CEOs do when they price gouge or deny claims. So why is the protester considered a criminal who it's justifiable to kill but the CEO isn't?
