The Bible really does contain a lot of stories where Jesus's followers are like "That person did a bad thing, should we go mess em up?" and Jesus is like "I don't know why I need to keep telling you guys this but no."
Last year 265 people became billionaires while ten million people died of hunger in the Global South due to poverty caused by western capitalist nations extracting wealth from them. Capitalism is not “the greatest system in the world.” It is a death cult.
when Virginia Woolf said, “Autumn is my season, dear; it is, after all, the season of the soul” and when F. Scott Fitzgerald said, “Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall” and when Anne Shirley said, “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”
As the university system collapses and millions succumb to tech-induced brain rot, the concept of the autodidact—a self-educated person who loves learning for its own sake—will become more important than ever. Read widely. Form study groups. Let the library be your college.
We’re not jaded. We’re clear-eyed & have seen over multiple election cycles that voting has not brought us any closer to our policy goals because both parties exist to serve the rich & crush the working class. Building a mass movement to uproot the system is the only way forward.
I’m afraid it’s true: those who read and go for walks are happier and healthier than those who spend all their time online. Log off. Embrace silence. Talk to people. Resist the digital merchants who seek to monetize every moment of your time, for your time is your life.
Cory Booker talked for 24 hours straight and did not accomplish a damn thing, which sums up the Democrats perfectly. They’re all talk, no action when it comes to serving the people and all action when it comes to serving their corporate donors.
pretending to be victimized by a performance he agreed to doing and then profiting off that “victimization” is actually a perfect encapsulation of the conservative persecution grift industrial complex
a lot of people obviously haven't seen Spirited Away, in which a monster driven by greed consumes people and steals their voices, doing perfect imitations of those it's devoured, and it's hard to think of a better metaphor for generative AI.
Since 1975, an unfathomable $79 trillion has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% in the United States. This is why our country is falling apart and our people are struggling to survive. Capitalism has been robbing us blind in order to make the top 1% even richer.
