Zohran Mamdani just forced Jeff Bezos to pay New York City $9 million in fines his company owed. This is exactly why we elect politicians who aren’t bought by corporations: they actually hold powerful people accountable instead of protecting them.

Here is a huge positive to modern life that gets no press. I have an old 2009 Toyota, and the AUX port crapped out about a year ago. Went to YouTube. Young, enthusiastic guy explains how to fix it. It is not obvious - involves taking the dashboard apart in a counter-intuitive way, but once you see it, it's a 15 minute fix. There are actually dozens of videos showing how to do this, and they collectively have well over 200k views. Had this happened in 1995, I would have just lived with it. But the combo of the replacement AUX jack available from Amazon and the video of the simple (but not obvious) fix, I fixed it. I HAVE DONE THIS DOZENS OF TIMES. Replaced the control panel of my dishwasher. Replaced the ice maker in the fridge. Fixed a wonky sanding head on my drill press. Mastered a bandsaw technique that I use for my sculpture. On and on and on... I think it is likely no exaggeration to say billions of fixes and skill upgrades have been performed worldwide that would not have been performed if it were not for the instruction freely given peer-to-peer on YouTube. Take a moment to be happy about this. The busted item keeps performing, rather than going to the landfill. The person learning and doing the fix gains a sense of mastery and saves money. It's an unmixed blessing. Stop doomscrolling. Think of what is busted in your house, find the YouTube video on how to fix it, and fix it.

Not to sound geriatric but...you know what i miss? Turning something on and it just works. No account setup. No app download. No QR code. No "sign in to continue". Just plug it in and it does the thing its supposed to do.

The Texas Secretary of State appears to have significantly mismanaged the voting rolls in Collin County. So much so that one Precinct, according to the Democratic Chair, has 113K voters in it (normally they have a few thousand.) That large of an error could derail several elections in a county that is close to flipping Democratic. …lincountydemocraticparty.substack.com/p/4ad200e4-a3e…

70 and 80 year old people are generally unemployable due to physical and mental decline but for some reason we allow them to run the entire fvcking country.

Gay pride was not born of a need to celebrate being gay, but our rights to exist without prosecution. So instead of wondering why there are no straight prides movement, be thankful u don’t need one

every school should have a "fix-it lab" where students learn to repair their clothes, bikes and electronics. we should grow up knowing that not everything is disposable, that care and repair are part of living well on this planet.

You’re in a race war. You have been your entire lives. Get used to it. Decide if you want to live in a white Christian nationalist country or in a melting pot that cherishes justice, equality & diversity. Then act accordingly. And consistently.

I went to a school where teachers would routinely "come out" about their sexuality. They talked about their heterosexual relationships and having kids. Some even went as far as making us read books with straight characters. Despite this all, I wasn't groomed into heterosexuality. Still gay asf

It's not just that America is destroying itself, it's that we're destroying ourselves for the dumbest possible reasons. We're gonna pay $6 gas soon because people got mad at things like an all-women Ghostbusters and Jemelle Hill hosting SportsCenter. It's so stupid.

Graham Platner's flawless victory against the sitting, Schumer backed Governor of Maine shows what a new day it is in the Dem party. He survived the oppo dump of all oppo dumps and it didn't even slow him down. Voters demand candidates who oppose oligarchs and genocide.
