car swerving meme with the marines swerving from "Volunteer Militaries are a blood tax on the working class" into "No we want to be here we like doing this"

I'm far from a Troop Respecter but I appreciate that most people in the military were in a very real sense coerced. The Marines seem to exist for people who want to go out of their way to reject that.

Yes. The core proposition of patriarchy is that the only masculinity is domination. "Rugged Individualism" was a psyop by stanford dickheads using first wave feminism to blame starving workers for the depression they themselves caused.

The thing about the Marines is their official and semi-official imagery are a bee's dick away from Nazi symbolism already and they recruit morons and psychos and give them brain damage on purpose to impair their ability to recognize humanity. The tattoo is, at some point, perfunctory.

trump is taking political hits on iran is because he is now undermining his supporters' ability to win online arguments. you can just own them ruthlessly on the iran thing now for being dumdums. and this they cannot bear. they can tolerate any amount of murder and mayhem, but not being owned online

People who think Talarico is the great white hope are desperate to believe we can save ourselves from christian nationalism while maintaining the primacy of both christianity and nationalism.

What a codename for a company in such a twin downward spiral that the biggest ray of light in a decade for the xbox is mass rejection of windows.

You said he misunderstands the mechanics, but his criticism is of the system and its purpose. @ifbookspod.bsky.social made a similar mistake imo. He thought of his own job as bullshit - not academic but anti-capitalist provocateur - in the same way.

He wasn't arguing for eliminating regulation and compliance he was trying to provoke an image of a world that doesn't incentivize killing people for margins.

I mean just because removing regulatory bureaucracy would kill a lot of people doesn't mean lawyers make the cars safe. His point was that an unfathomable proportion of human potential is squandered insulating us from capitalism's insatiability.

There's a classic Garfield bit where the universe goes "oh you hate Mondays?? well now they're gone" and Jon no longer gets paid because he his check came on Mondays and that's how people always insist on reading Graeber.

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

If you're married to someone who works at Polymarket or Kalshi, I'm sorry, but you must divorce them tomorrow. Get outta there.

Imagine Bernie Sanders' 5% billionaire wealth tax passes. People like hedge funder Ken Griffin, who fueled the crusade to close 50 Chicago public schools, will be tightening their belts.

So if you're looking for a gift to cheer him up, check out what the man defunding our schools already owns๐Ÿงต
