It looks like Melon Husk is lighting this thing on fire even faster than expected, so a reminder that the canonical source for Avdi updates, thinky-thoughts, and one-on-one conversation has always been, and will always be SIGAVDI avdi.codes/sigavdi/

@QueenMab87 The "taking our jobs" stuff is silly, but the fact is that H-1B is popular because it gives tech employers massive leverage over workers. Imagine knowing a life and relationships you've built here for years, could be stripped away if you don't do as you're told.

This anti immigration shit from Bernie continues to be problematic af. So offensive to call recipients of the H-1B visa program “indentured servants” or to continue perpetuating the myth that they’re taking American jobs
Sen. Bernie Sanders@SenSanders

Elon Musk is wrong. The main function of the H-1B visa program is not to hire “the best and the brightest,” but rather to replace good-paying American jobs with low-wage indentured servants from abroad. The cheaper the labor they hire, the more money the billionaires make.

@queerBengali As a very unlonely man who was once headed down that road, I guess I should try to figure out how to save them, because I can recognize how they are locked into a self-destructive behavior cycle. But god, they are SO tedious.

I’m not gonna stop you from trying to rescue straight white men.. But every time I’ve tried to befriend a straight white man who has complained about loneliness it has not gone well for me. When the world is designed for you and you’re still failing, it’s probably you .

Re: the left needs more podcasters/influencers to combat the joe rogans and Andrew tates of the world This is why that won't work Dropout is a very left leaning company in both actions and policy. They supported the writers strike, their crew is still masking on set, and they
Dropout@dropout

Since Monday, Dropout has received an unsustainable amount of physical threats to the safety of our staff and existential legal threats to the company.

The people in my autism parenting groups who are just figuring out what gutting the Department of Education is going to do to their kids, after they voted for Trump. Whew, chile. It’s a whole lotta, “They can’t do that, right?” Nah, bro. They can and they’re gonna.

If anyone can tell me what a company called something like "Tee-roh Price" does, I'll give you...something. I've been hearing the same ad on NPR for years and still have no idea. AND NO GOOGLING

Bonus, small chance Elon throws a hissy fit that his new toy didn't buy him an election, and he sells it at a loss and we get our silly bird site back

I don't get much reach here anymore, but for all my white tech dudes in the US - this is the most important election of our lives. Only one choice will protect women, children, queer and trans folk, BIPOC, and democracy itself. GTFO there and vote.

American men who get really angry sometimes punch a hole in the drywall. In Europe, where the walls are made of plaster that would break your hand, the behavior is unknown. A neat demonstration that angry people have mastery over themselves and just choose to be self-indulgent.

@queerBengali Folks need to understand the difference between being in the man's cabinet, and being in his party.

Pelosi is loyal. She’s loyal to her voter and to democrats. She’s not loyal to the president. And the fact that some of you would prefer her to betray us for the president, is really funny to me. Want better things for yourself.

@electrifying I don't get it, the guy clearly came up and yelled "Jason, I have a terrible addiction to incel social media on my phone, please help me!" and Jason did the stand-up thing. Seems pretty cut and dried

@TeganCantEven @offbeatorbit Yeah. I mean I think in part it's that they themselves haven't seen a path to get reelected without kissing the ring. They might coronate a Trump 2.0, or decide to make something stick that will make their rabid base finally turn on him (Epstein?)

If Trump DOES lose the election, I REALLY wonder how the GOP moves on. They’ve wedded themselves to Trump and Trumpism so much for nearly a decade, I don’t see how they cleanly move on. The establishment will want to, but will Trump’s biggest supporters want to?

And if you asked the millions of people who whom it's normalized, they'd never dream of calling it abuse. This ad campaign might plant a seed for some of them.

Yes, there are abusers of every political stripe. But one thing I'm gathering from reactions is that there are folks who didn't grow up in that world who didn't know just HOW normalized this practice is in right-wing fundamentalism.

As a DV survivor I understand how people have been triggered by those "your husband will never know" ads. As someone raised among right-wing fundamentalists, I know that the abuse portrayed isn't just common, it is normalized and aspirational for millions of US families.

Charlie Kirk is upset that Republican women may “undermine their husbands” and secretly vote for Harris while telling their husbands they voted for Trump, even though the husband “works his tail off to make sure that she can have a nice life.”
