i saw the most cromulent minds of my generation destroyed by police violence, starving, cold, dragged through liberal streets at dawn, while craptacular tech bros embiggened hollow eyed dynamos, sat smoking in the supernatural darkness of VR, contemplating generative saxamaphones
@anarbyyt nah, i got plenty of friends
we who together, fall like stars, burning across the brief sky in a shared moment of glittering beauty
what other definition is there?
Somewhere last night in New York City, a single mother and her children slept at a homeless shelter because you, assemblyman @ZohranKMamdani are occupying her rent controlled apartment.
You grew up rich and married an even wealthier woman. You’ve had weddings on 3 continents. You own property in LGTBQIA+ murderous Uganda. You make $142,000 a year plus stipends, and your wife works too, meaning you together likely make well over $200,000. No matter which way you cut it: Zohran Mamdani is a rich person. You are actually very rich.
Yet you and your wife pay $2,300 a month, as you have bragged, for a nice apartment in Astoria. That should be housing for someone who needs it.
We are in the middle of a historic affordability crisis. Millions of low income New Yorkers need this apartment and an apartment like it. Yet your apartment remains rented to rich people who don’t need it.
Today, I am calling on you to move out immediately and give your affordable housing back to an unhoused family who need it. Leaders must show moral clarity. Time to move out.
@folkpunkpariah we're a petri dish of anti intellectual christian rejects from england, allowed to stew in our own piss and shit for hundreds of years :)
Wow hospitals are willing to kill people just to make sure nurses’s working conditions deteriorate and wages don’t keep pace with inflation? That’s crazy
@realism_fan "they have abandoned the humility needed for scientific discovery long ago"
"they" are the ones that made this discovery
i've muted your thread
@LondonMilan777@RealJakeBroe@professorgerdes russia is, according to mainstream historians, a colonial venture. this isn't a point of contention. hope that helps! lots of stuff written about it you can go find.
personally i think it’s a mistake to broaden the term “pick-me” beyond those who display lateral bigotry, and this woman did not display lateral misogyny toward other women as far as i can tell from that one video clip
we can just call people cringe! you’re allowed to do that!
