Be excellent to each other.

@ClaudiaExplains @exitnode_ @skumWgmi 1917

@exitnode_ @skumWgmi Very true. Btw, what movie is this clip from?

Something that breaks my heart as a Millennial is how fucking optimistic and fun our teenage years and 20s were. Like we envisioned a TOTALLY different world from the one that we've got and insanely divorced from what Gen-Z are experiencing. Its hard to put in words how fantastic we thought life was gonna be and how it seemed like we were making tangible social progress. We've had all of that ripped away from us.

@kasthomas @KyleKulinski Just double? So, you're an optimist.

@KyleKulinski Dollar will get crushed and groceries will go up double.

When the dollar eventually gets dropped as the world reserve currency (now this is inevitable) the US will experience a great depression the likes of which we've never seen. All of this was completely avoidable, but we're lead by somebody who is actually clinically insane and our pathetic, sclerotic institutions were too ossified to do anything about it.

@BlakPantherBabe @GovTimWalz Precisely. Two sides of the same coin that buys us not even the same old shit, but the worst quality version of this country.

@GovTimWalz This is OUR fault. This is our fault for supporting any candidate with a 'D' next to their name. This is OUR fault for voting blue no matter who We have this spineless SOB in power bc WE put him there. This is what happens when u have low standards

.@BrianLehrer, the Foodtown in Norwood is apparently employee owned. Why don't we see more of that?

@anyonewantchips They certainly don't help, but there is also something rotten at the core of American society.

With the latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%. It's the fucking guns.

Every few months I find myself thinking that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

@doctorow WTF was that person smoking?

This is absurd. At what point will this "late stage capitalism" become "a post-scarcity society"? As close to never as possible, when greed is so many people's raison d'être. How is this not an unconstitutional form of profiling consumers?

Look at this carbrained nonsense from @weatherchannel, @TheWarOnCars. TWC asks "are trees making NYC air quality worse" by describing that trees emit harmless compounds that only become harmful when combined with car pollution. IT'S THE CARS, PEOPLE! weather.com/news/climate/v…

@pushtheneedle The Hudson Line goes even farther than shown on this map and would probably stretch to Ludlow, at least, of you included the run to Poughkeepsie.

the NYC MTA commuter rail system overlaid at scale and rotated could connect LA to San Diego

What a shithead.

Rather, finance-talk is all obfuscation, because if we called finance tactics by their plain-language names, it would be obvious that the sector exists to defraud the public and loot the real economy. 3/

@Emizerrich @Meelsie143 A "free" platform, where people willingly upload content without promise of payment, but which Google monetizes for themselves by inserting ads. And only once Google's generated "enough" revenue to satisfy them—who did nothing to create the content—does the creator get paid.

@Meelsie143 It's a free platform. Watch the ads.

black screen is still preferable to ads tbh

@RajmaOohLala @Ticketmaster And seemingly every big business that exists; credit card companies, especially. We get nothing but an "oopsie" and, perhaps, an offer of "free identity theft protection." Talk about closing the barn door after the horse has left. We need regulation, but our gov't is useless.

Looking at you @Ticketmaster

Bloody hell, get a load of this dystopian bullshit.

@JakePreuett Perhaps your realtor is lying to you and they simply want to make more money if it ever happens to sell.

Selling my condo in downtown Houston. Been on the market 6 months no offers. Our realtor says we’re priced right. Get at least 1 showing a week. What’s holding us back from a sale?

@HNTurtledove @Stonekettle It's excellently put, and my apologies for the misattribution, but you both are deadeye marksmen.

Is it @HNTurtledove who often says "all the self-awareness of a dog licking its own asshole"? In any case, the shoe fits.

Some credulous cult member just described a particular bloviating con man, whom they adore as a "savior," as "softer" and "stronger" ... like toilet paper.
