Really glad predictive text exists. Should i bring my own parking lot

I love how Zohran Mamdani is wearing a suit everywhere. And if he has anything else he puts it ON TOP of the suit. A basketball jersey. A high-vis vest. All worn over the suit. He’s like the mayor character in a cartoon who’s always dressed as The Mayor. If I didn’t know who he was and he biked past me in NYC I’d be like holy shit was that the mayor

I know his tailor is stressed bro look at this man wearing a suit to fix a pothole

on a more serious note, he literally has to wear a suit because of respectability politics. remember when Obama wore a tan suit and all news headlines lost their minds over it? POC in power have to maintain this image of perfection and it’s exhausting. The second that we don’t look 100% professional, white people will say that we’re lazy and undeserving of our position.

on a lighter note though, he exudes such cutie patootie energy in his suit

Just tried oat milk for the first time, now I understand why vegans always angry at something!!!

am i allowed to say kill all trillionaires or is that too specific of a threat

Elon musk is a trillionaire, but 10% of the world is living in extreme poverty. That's 800 million people.

Elon musk is a trillionaire, but I still have to volunteer at my town's food pantry because people in my community are starving. We barely had any food to give them.

Elon musk is a trillionaire, but I've met people who have to choose between food and housing. I've met people who don't even get either.

One trillion is a million times a million. I've never even met a millionaire, so even that number is unimaginable. Nothing and nobody needs a million dollars. Or a billion, or a trillion

so why is he a trillionaire?

"While those working at private companies can at least earn a little money, they face possible punishment if they refuse, from being denied family visits to being sent to higher-security prisons, which are so dangerous that the federal government filed a lawsuit four years ago that remains pending [note: article is from 2024], calling the treatment of prisoners unconstitutional.

Though they make at least $7.25 an hour, the state siphons 40% off the top of all wages and also levies fees, including $5 a day for rides to their jobs and $15 a month for laundry.

Turning down work can jeopardize chances of early release in a state that last year granted parole to only 8% of eligible prisoners — an all-time low, and among the worst rates nationwide — though that number more than doubled this year after public outcry."

No state has a longer, more profit-driven history of contracting prisoners out to private companies than Alabama.

Alabama outlawed forced prison labor in 2022, which is the violation the state is being sued for now.

Two years after Alabama voters closed the slavery loophole in their state’s constitution, people are still being punished for refusing to wo

I had to look this up since I was surprised AL was one of so few states that have tried to address modern slavery, but of course they wouldn't actually give up their slaves.

Why are we planning the ends of our boycotts? y'all have noticed that too right? like it's not until demands are met or anything, it's just for a few days

For those who have missed it, a tourist in Hawaii decided it would be fun to chuck a rock (a BIG rock) at a monk seal. He missed, but he was captured on video, and when told it was illegal to interfere with them, said "I'm rich, I can pay the fine."

Is the best part that he got doxxed? No.

Is the best part that he got tracked down by a local and beaten? No.

Arrested on state at federal charges, looking at up to 5 years and 50K? Nope.

The best part is the local city council's reaction.

And the best part of that is the look on the attorney's face.

More of this please, everywhere.

After the incident, another video went viral showing what appeared to be that man getting a beating. The Maui Police Department said they had no record of any reports of disorderly conduct or assault related to the monk seal incident.

Even the local police are being cool about this.

One of the most insidious things about liberal democracy is that it functions as a sort of moral laundromat for imperialist states. Whenever their foreign policy crystallizes into unspeakable destruction in some country in the third world in an undeniably monstrous way, they blame it all on whoever was in charge at the time and let him be the fall guy: "Bush did this!" "Sarkozy did this!" "But our new guy is different! We swear we voted the bad guy out : )"

What monster covers a painted lady house in landlord white?!

I dont even want to imagine the horrors they did to the interior

Okay, so, I'm not sure what the complaint here is, personally - I am confident it could be improved with more varied whites, but I also quite like the look as is.

As such, I desire elaboration on the issue.
