If billionaires were the answer to the suffering in the world, there would no longer be suffering in the world. How much money do billionaires like Musk and Bezos need before people realize the problem with this model is they’ll eventually run out of other people’s money?
@itsmaddiebee @DaxiTheCringe @A13xAndersson @nsamsen That line of thinking is very counterproductive. Growing up in multi cultural, multi racial system can give anyone reasonable understanding of experiences of everyone around them. And that isn't automatically superceded by others, just by the virtue of their race/religion.
@itsmaddiebee @DaxiTheCringe @A13xAndersson @nsamsen So if Candace Owens is often incorrect, because she is an obvious grifter, how is she bringing more authenticity on experiences of black people, than white people??? Her having personal experiences isn't stopping her from lying all the time.
Incredible. During a live broadcast of Russia's Channel One state TV, a woman runs on stage with a NO WAR poster. "Don't believe the propaganda! They lie!"
@helenstaniland From the article: "Once incarcerated, trans people are at significantly higher risk of violence. Trans prisoners are over 9 times more likely than the prison average to be assaulted or abused by fellow prisoners, and over 5 times more likely to be assaulted or abused by staff"
"What the f.k are you doing here? I am Russian too, but I live in this state. You have your country, we have ours. Don't you have problems in your country to solve? Are you all rich there, as in the Emirates? You're just puppets"
Love this gradpa in Melitopol, Zaporizhia region

@mahmoudkenny98 I feel you. I am not in a war torn country (as of now) but having heard similar justification for war by some people here, I feel broken by the series of events. Hate every second of this.
@mahmoudkenny98 Ha! "I can't believe you were busy enough to not reply to me. I gave my million dollar assignment to someone else. Now do you feel bad?" kind of energy.
@shoe0nhead .. By podcast man you mean one of the Richest, most powerful and influential Media personality of all time, pushing Vaccine misinfo to audience 4 times the size of Tucker Carlson?
CLIMATE-EXTINCTION CRISIS
We're heading for 2°C in the 2030s, or the 2040s.
The global food system is shifting into high risk territory. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. Billions of people will soon face intolerable risk.
Corporate media editors?
Sitting tight.
Assessing.
@stephlynn1982 I caught Covid too (Omicron probably) few days ago. First 3 days were a bit tough with fever and fatigue, but doing much better now on Day 6-7 except for slightly painful throat. Hope you feel better soon.
@stephlynn1982 ... We can differentiate between when it crosses the line, like Patriot Act, and oppose that strictly. Vaccine Mandates which help save lives, is not harmful. It's not government overreach to promote a policy that keeps population healthy.
@stephlynn1982 Any public safety regulation can be authoritarian with that line of thought. Why is the Centralized power making laws on Seat-belts, smoking in public, Car Pollution, vaccinating children for measles, chicken pox? When it is for collective good, it is good. It's not authoritarian
