I'm here/I'm not here

[JN @jnchien]

@UtilityCalc I do know that... that's why I'm saying what I'm saying about Zohran and the DSA right!

[JN @jnchien]

Ah yes the person who made the "utilitycalc" that it was in the best interest of "advancing socialism" to argue stridently against NoMore24 because there was "no money" to end Latinx+Chinese migrant women's slave labor conditions. I love me some advancing imperial core socialism!

[V.I. Marlowe🔻 @ProductOfLabor]

Wow!

[JN @jnchien]

@UtilityCalc You might want to ask Aint I A Woman and the NoMore24 organizers since they've been working on it for years. Besides I thought this kinda thing was the purview of the largest socialist org in the US? Or do these workers not fall under the umbrella of "workers deserving more"?

[JN @jnchien]

@UtilityCalc The city is the only place where 24hr shifts are allowed. No where else in New York state. You don't think that requires strong determination from the city to force the state's hand? Instead Zohran just shrugged his shoulders and "deferred" to SEIU and you rightists ran cover.

[J. J. Ellis @jjellisart]

I said this about AI well over a year ago. Using it to diagnose and fire people with medical conditions so they lose their insurance AND their income is somehow even more heartless and evil than I’d predicted.

[JN @jnchien]

@jncatron *one of the largest unions that threw their weight behind Zohran to get him elected, you mean. Of course he's going to completely go back on his campaign promise to these hyper-exploited workers and appease the business union!

[JN @jnchien]

Look this "freedom to flourish" and "imagine taking a day off" stuff sounds great but will DSA ever define who the worker is that "deserves more"? NYC rightist factions just ran cover for Zohran betraying NoMore24 and upholding the slave labor of Latinx+Chinese migrant women!

[mass vanguard @gracchusstrupp]

After 5 years of writing various versions of a document like this cross-tendency and by specific caucuses, we finally have a revolutionary political program that is written concisely and persuasively and contains the necessary min-max political content!

@UtilityCalc You weren't making these arguments when it happened? You said there's no money to pay these women

[JN @jnchien]

The truthnuke here is that Hasan and breadtube and all the leftist streamer shit is just as pure an example of Idiocracy as Trump doing an MMA show outside the White House is

[Potato @GotownedU90175]

🚨‼️ BREAKING: Hasan Piker says he is the reason anti Israel sentiment is so popular right now, not Palestinians themselves who have sacrificed everything.

He mocks supporters of the resistance. And whitewashed Israeli weapons investor and genocidal Zionist Brad Lander.

[JN @jnchien]

Not trying to be too much of a hater here but you can't wear a hat that says "Workers Deserve More" and then forcefully argue why POC New Yorkers actually deserve to work 24 hour shifts and have only 12 of them compensated! That's a contradiction you HAVE to work out!

[JN @jnchien]

@nerdosyndical I will not accept this Mellon Collie slander....

[JN @jnchien]

Not to pick on this person but a good example of a dynamic that I've come to hate but haven't been able to really name: the nostalgic enshrining of "timeless/classic" (code for not woke) comedy (Airplane, Mel Brooks stuff, Back to the Future) that masks the creators' own bullshit

[Erick Lorinc 🎃 @ErickLorinc]

My favorite moment in any Evil Dead and maybe any movie ever:

[Cosmonaut ☭ @CosmonautMag]

Is a DSA-backed AOC presidency in 2029 possible? Noah Emke says yes; it will also be a disaster for a nascent socialist movement unprepared for national power and wedded to a project of managed imperial decline.

Guys don’t you guys have like an internal forum? Seriously have some self respect as “the largest socialist org in US history”!

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Further proof that for presidential hopefuls like Khanna “genocide” is a buzzword to signal maximum outrage, not a moral and legal designation with implications and obligations. “They’re committing genocide but we must provide them military defense” is a patently insane position.

[Alex @chorizanthe]

Something I find… interesting… about the push for 1m1v among caucuses dominant in NYC-DSA is the chapter’s willingness to ignore the results of asynchronous member polls when convenient. See: the vote on No More 24/the Ain’t I a Woman campaign

[JN @jnchien]

Don’t try and pull an Eggers on Nolan. It won’t work.

[Viking History @Vikinghistory]

Odysseus sails home in a Viking ship.

The vessel in Nolan’s Odyssey is Draken Harald Hårfagre, the largest Viking ship built in modern times. Built in Haugesund, Norway. Named after Harald Fairhair, our first king.

The Odyssey is set around 1200 BC. Ships like this appeared around 800 AD. The Viking Age is closer to us today than to Odysseus.

Homer’s ships were black, low, open galleys, light enough to be dragged onto the beach at night. Not a 35-meter dragon ship built for the North Atlantic.

A sailing reconstruction of a Mycenaean warship already exists: the Argo, 50 oars, built in Volos, Greece. Nolan filmed in Greece. He still picked the Viking ship.

This week Draken sails down the Norwegian coast to the Oslo premiere. She will be the most authentic thing on screen. She is 2,000 years off.

[JN @jnchien]

@oldredink Oh I know you guys have one. It was a rhetorical question mostly because this round of twitter mudslinging is particularly embarrassing.

[JN @jnchien]

@YaBoiJames463 Your timeline isn’t flooded with all the DSA cross tendency sniping? Lmao

[JN @jnchien]

(This is all very entertaining from the outside looking in though, I must admit)
