Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Man, I hate when when you’re sitting there, in a chat, and slurs just walk on in all by themselves like somebody turned on a faucet

Devastating quote:

"Unfortunately, I can’t in good faith participate in an organization that kicked off the awards ceremony with a land acknowledgement, and then proceeded to minimize the sole acceptance speech delivered by an Indigenous artist"

Judging from the prose, the Pentagon appears to be using AI to announce the death of soldiers. If it’s not AI, it’s a person who simply does not care.

We hate kids. Like SO MUCH. We vote for the guns. We vote for the bombs. We protect the rapists. We have LEOs physically restraining parents from trying to save their children in Uvalde. We just blew up a school in Iran. We love Jeffrey Epstein and his friends. They run the country.

This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.

#OTD in 1968, over 15,000 high school students in the predominantly Mexican American community of East Los Angeles walked out of class in protest of unequal treatment & conditions in the neighborhood's public schools - an event that would become known as the East LA Blowouts.

you can impeach people after they've been removed from office for the crimes they did while in office and the failure to do so to george w. bush is one of the reasons we wound up here

That clip of Timothee Chalamet being like “no one watches the opera or ballet” is wild and I am dying over every ballet and opera acct (correctly) being like “we’ve been here for hundreds of years before you and we’ll be here for hundreds of years after you” lmao

Amazon MGM continue to omit their logos and copyright lines in their posters and ads for upcoming movies, to avoid people knowing its theirs lest they stay home and wait for Prime.

Moviegoers do not stay dumb forever; sooner or later they'll add 2+2 and figure out no logo = streaming in 60 days.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

AI is undermining labor power.

We need leaders in Washington who not only understand that, but will fight to protect collective bargaining and support workers through the AI revolution.
