Hey, remember a couple years ago when Mitch McConnell's sister in law was killed when her locked Tesla backed into a lake?

That was weird, right?

All I can say about the reflecting pool debacle is that I thought it would be impossible to top the Four Seasons Landscaping plot line, but having the guy who said he was gonna drain the swamp accidentally MAKE A GIANT SWAMP is giving it a run for its money.

when we say “crime is a social construct”.

what we mean is that you, as an individual, can go to jaił for littering but a corporation can poıson the air, the soil, and the water of an entire town, and no one will go to jaił.

We can build back the unions and with them take back the rest. We have this power. Every union website has resources to help make it happen. Talk to your coworkers. Organize. Mobilize. Win.

People keep saying we’re in Idiocracy but President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho at his core wanted what was best for his people and when evidence presented itself he listened to experts to solve the problem. By all accounts a better leader than this.

Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg being team AI makes me feel like I’m living in an alternate reality. There should be a rule that if you’re using AI at any point in your film making process then your film is disqualified from any possible award nominations. Humans make art. Humans make movies. Not AI.

[I Dissent @DissentFu]

I am 52 years old. I have been working since I was 15 years old. I have no savings, no retirement, and will never own a home before I die.

And there is now a trillionaire.

Just a friendly reminder:

Minimum wage exists because they would pay you less if they could

An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job. A billionaire does.

On Saturday, while covering a protest at Delaney Hall for the AP, Angelina Katsanis' camera bag went missing.

Inside was $10K worth of gear, her biz cards and an Airtag -- which soon began to ping from home of a NJ sergeant. He's now facing charges.

HR exists to protect the company, not the employees. Never forget.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

The whole point of a minimum wage is to set the lowest pay someone can earn and still afford a basic standard of living. If a full-time worker can’t cover essentials like rent and food, then the minimum wage has failed at the very job it was created to do.

If you work for ICE I’m just gonna assume you rape children and beat your wife.

Covid made us realize that the people who stock grocery stores, drive trucks, farm, and work in hospitals are the ones actually holding civilisation together. If bankers, CEOs, billionaires, and entrepreneurs stopped working, the world would barely notice.

[Boots Riley @BootsRiley]

It may seem that everyone knows about I Love Boosters. But its not true, social media pushes certain things 2u.

Surveys show most ppl dont know I Love Boosters exists. We didnt have the huge marketing budget of the other movies out.

I need u 2 hype it2ppl IRL outside ur circle.

[Gypsy @GypsyD24]

Look, if you are a Boomer struggling with property taxes let me help you

First, cheaper lunches

This cost me 4 bucks

Second, check those subscriptions they are expensive!

Third, maybe pick up some part time work and cover a bill or two, making a little more helps

If that doesn't do it, then you are simply living above your means🤷‍♂️

Sorry, I guess you don't need a 400k house then and should find something affordable in your budget

[Traveler @MilesTrav]

I completely understand this. It's actually the reason I am completely unaffected when people try to call me a loser, or say that I brought my financial woes on myself, or something else.

I really don't think there's much hope in fixing my life at this point, at least financially. I'm usually just pretty happy to get home from work and play my instrument, or go sit outside and listen to the cicadas, or work on the stupid books that will never be finished. I've mostly given up on building something more for myself.

All of my political yapping, is basically because I want kids in 20, 30, 100 years to have a better life than I did. I think many millennials feel this way, basically the anti Boomers. We don't really care what happens to us anymore, beyond being left alone.

Just don't let more people suffer needlessly in the future.
