Why do we need "individual action" when what we REALLY need is "systems change?" Let's break it down 👇 ALL change requires a human (usually many humans) to change behavior, take an action, or make a decision different from what they were doing before.

It’s crazy how the bad corporate guy, Burke, in Aliens looks near-identical to Sam Altman, and the truck Ripley saves the crew in is a big cybertruck.

Everyone should watch the ending of Terminator 1 and reassess how they feel about the Optimus Prime in their home.

Prediction: Everything internet and AI will become painfully uncool soon like a cliff drop.

@KirstieMAllsopp Furthermore, why do people care so much about OTHER women's births? There are all these women who get evangelical trying to push their "natural" ideology onto others. Worry about your own fetus.

This boils my blood!!! Women die giving birth, I am so sick of people saying our bodies know what to do. Try telling this to women in Afghanistan, where 638 women die per 100,000 live birth AND 50 babies die per 1000 lives births.

@KirstieMAllsopp Nothing gives me peace of mind in pregnancy like knowing there are multiple proven high IQ people with 10 years of gruelling medical schooling, experience with 100+ live births during residency + a $100m medical facility with all the tech to keep me and my baby safe.

Most parents in SV are training their kids to code, but mummy’s giving the girl a serious encyclopedic knowledge of everything goth.

@SustainableTall The single-family home is a scam.

Suburban development in Lubbock Texas… And some people say apartment living is dystopian!

I am learning, once again, that the easy way is the hard way, and the hard way was the easy way all along.

I'm so sick of getting abused by men. I live a fairly quiet and polite life, yet the entitlement of men to write or yell abusive things to me on the street amazes me - and although women can be cruel sometimes, too, it's easily 90% from men. Good manners go a long way.

Scrolling is the new smoking.

Just wanted to put it out there that I am not lonely or disconnected like everyone says people are.

New Rules. Life is now just a game of "Which ball do I drop today?"

I’m getting more sure over time that the prize goes to the person with the highest pain tolerance.

@WAPolicyGreen The left has always been against outsourced manufacturing to China with its poor environmental standards, coal power stations - and the enabling of cheap mass consumer goods.

It’s time to play who said it: “Green activist or Donald Trump.”

I’m starting to feel like scrolling is as offensive a habit as smoking cigarettes.

Pro tip: If you don’t buy a f* ton of stuff, nor build a career from making it, the tariffs don’t affect you so much. If you think of tariffs as a tax on over-consumption, it hits different.

Something magical has happened. I finally got rich and old enough to completely stop giving a f*ck.

I observed there is a very specific “condescending left” facial expression that folks make when trying to sound smart by criticizing the right. Discovered by scrolling with sound off, i know the topic by the facial expression before reading the captions.

@Grimezsz YES. It's normal to want to look good, but the relentless images and marketing massively agitate this natural impulse and inject paranoia.

Do any other women feel like ur being choked to death on beauty culture? I think there's some new Apple ai podcast ad thing going on --- my like nice calm super bro mens podcasts where I usually get laughably misdirected ads that aren't for me - just gave me a Sephora ad.. like I've been fucking bleeding just can I go somewhere where someone isn't shoving "DONT YOU WANT TO BE BEAUTIFUL" down my throat No I fucking don't I don't fucking care anymore I don't fuuucking care - I'm getting like radicalized just out of pure desire to not have to engage with this sick notion of beauty that follows me like a wraith - quite literally - a fucking demonic ai wraith probably doing some targeted ad about beauty while I try to listen to the history of war on the American frontier - it's fucking stalked me even there now - what the fuck?!??
