2020 Planning Committee Captain: Look guys, if we're gonna do this, I wanna go all in. I want race riots, Covid-19, and earthquakes happening SIMULTANEOUSLY. Murder hornets? Great idea, Chad! Is the asteroid standing by? Sweet. Lea Michele shitting in wigs? Sure, why not?

It's the sound effect for me tho

100% here for this

Humanity thrived for thousands of years without AI. We can live without it. What we cannot live without is fresh water, farmers, agriculture, and land. Stop supporting AI. It’s destroying our planet.

You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. You reduce crime with universal healthcare, public housing, livable wages, and free college. You reduce violence by creating happy, healthy communities that aren’t constantly fighting over basic needs and material resources.

A lesson on social democracy that is not from a lying billionaire.

It’s so exhausting living in a system where nearly every place is designed to take money, every moment is supposed to cost money, everything is about money. It’s like our entire lives are just for rent, nowhere to sit down for free, nowhere to rest, then you pay again.

I just want to point out.... The amount of money the United States has spent on war in the last 67 days, is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. So the real question is never can we afford it, it's what we choose to prioritize.

Their god gets credit for everything except cancer. However imagine a 10,000-floor building floating in empty space. 9,999 floors will kill you instantly , fire, poison gas, freezing cold, radiation, no air. Total death traps. But on one random floor, there’s a dirty toilet with just enough water and scraps for bacteria to survive. So they grow there, adapt there, and start saying: “This toilet is perfectly made for us! The chances of this happening are impossible! The Great Builder made this whole building just for our toilet kingdom because he loves us!” That’s the fine-tuning argument, the law of nature works right, made for us, hell no. We’re the bacteria. Earth is the toilet. The rest of the universe is mostly empty, deadly, and useless for life. Yet people look at one tiny spot where life managed to survive and say the whole universe was designed for them. No, life adapted to the one messy corner where it could exist. That’s why people laugh at the argument. Stay mad.

Covid showed us we could slow down, work different, care for each other, rethink everything. We had one rare chance to build a life that was less cruel, less exhausting, less centered around grinding people into dust. Instead we sprinted right back into burnout, greed, higher costs, worse mental health, and pretending this is normal. That’s what makes me angry. We learned nothing.

Police don’t prevent crime. They show up after it happens. Crime prevention starts with funding social programs and creating opportunity.

You do not earn a billion dollars. You steal it. Nobody works a billion times harder than a nurse, a teacher, or a farmer. That money comes from underpaying the people who actually did the work. Stop worshipping hoarders who are just really good at wage theft.

To my evangelical sisters and brothers who are finally seeing Trump for the conman he has always been: please don’t stop at repenting of your stupidity. Repent also of your misogyny and racism. Otherwise you will wind up voting for the next antichrist as well.

Dear Christians and Muslims your religion is not special. The only reason your religion became the most popular in the world today was through conquest and wars. Not through divine revelation, some supernatural phenomena or some spiritual enlightenment.

👋 I’m a Protestant Christian minister and interfaith chaplain working for a Catholic hospital w/ relatively large Jewish and Buddhist patient populations. Also some of my closest friends are atheist and agnostic. I’m a living testament to the blessings of religious pluralism 😉

Why am I paying TAXES on my wages? Then paying Sales Tax to spend my money. Then paying Income Taxes on my money they already TAXED and paying Property Taxes after I already paid Sales Tax on said property!

It actually bums me out… We have the resources to fix our society, stop our reliance on fossil fuels, and feed every person in the country. But we don’t… because it would mess with the money of a tiny group of people. Like… millions struggle so a handful can stay comfortable. That’s insane when you really think about it.

a person's very existence cannot be "against your beliefs." That is called bigotry. Thanks.

This is blatantly false by the way… but the truth is even more damning. Reports of near-death experiences (NDEs) are not universally centered on Jesus Christ at all….instead ,they are actually profoundly shaped by the experiencer’s cultural and religious background. Christians often report seeing Jesus or angels, Hindus frequently describe encounters with deities like Yama or messengers who guide souls, Buddhists report visions consistent with figures tied to their own cosmology. Even within Christianity, denominational differences show up in their experiences…. While Catholics generally report visions involving Virgin Mary, Protestants almost never do… because they do not revere Mary like Catholics do… this CLEARLY reflects theological conditioning rather than a shared external reality. What this pattern show then is that NDEs are constructions filtered through the brain’s prior beliefs, expectations, and symbolic leanings . The human mind, especially under extreme stress like oxygen deprivation, trauma, or neurochemical surges … all of which people experience during NDE, tends to generate vivid, emotionally intense experiences by drawing on deeply internalized imagery. Even Studies in neuroscience show that temporal lobe activity, endorphin release, and altered cortical processing can produce feelings of transcendence, presence, and meaningful visions. So , when the brain is pushed to its limits, it doesn’t access an external metaphysical realm…it reorganizes internal content in a way that feels very real real. This cultural and religious variability is actually one of the strongest arguments against people who try use their NDEs or “spiritual experience” as evidence for their specific religious worldview. If these experiences were true glimpses of an objective afterlife, we would expect far more consistency across individuals regardless of upbringing. Instead, what we see is a mirror….people encounter what they are primed to believe in. That Protestants don’t see Mary, Hindus don’t see Jesus, and Christians don’t see Yama is not a small detail at all … it’s exactly what we would predict if NDEs are products of human psychology rather than windows into some woo woo universal spiritual truth. I rest my case. 🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️

🚨 do you understand what $25 billion in Mississippi actually means.. the poorest state in America.. $44,966 median income.. 28% of children in poverty.. and Amazon just chose it for data centers.. $25 billion for 2,000 jobs.. that's $12.5 million per job.. they didn't pick Mississippi to help Mississippi.. they picked it for the cheapest land.. cheapest power.. and the most desperate politicians willing to sign whatever Amazon put in front of them.. cotton plantations came for the cheap labor.. factories moved south for the no unions.. now data centers are coming for the cheap electricity and the tax breaks.. the product changes every generation.. the extraction doesn't
