This joke is truly so true

It really is amazing how, after all these years, @TheOnion is still so insanely good at this

If you ask pro-capitalist people why a job like, say, sanitation work has such an abysmal wage even though the job is necessary, they’ll tell you that it is an unskilled occupation. We could contest that, but for the sake of argument, let’s concede. By this logic, value is derived from how much labor is required to accomplish something—in this case, the labor of learning the skill in addition to the labor of completing the task at hand. A doctor, then, would earn a much higher wage because of the labor required to obtain the necessary degrees to practice. Okay. But then, if you ask a pro-capitalist people again why the price of a pair of glasses, a mattress, or even a bottle of water is so expensive, despite these things being cheap and easy to make, they’ll tell you that value is not determined by the labor that goes into producing something, but by need and demand. This inconsistency reveals how neoliberal economics functions: the value of something means whatever is most convenient for the ruling class.

Every time Ryan Condal opens his mouth he proves more and more that he’s the wrong fucking person to write House of the Dragon. He seemingly hates the main elements of the story he’s supposed to be telling: Targaryens, Dragons and Women

whales never use generative AI, but they do make poop from a butt, which is similar except that whale poop is essential to the health of our oceans and generative AI is essential to being a fucking loser

This sort of prudishness is a slippery slope towards a world where there’s only one night a year when it’s legal for single people to have sex

This isn't autism, it's supporting a genocide. You have an ugly heart and an ugly soul.

[LeftieDownUnder @JulZD1997]

@thepeacepoet99 @SwampCommunist As an autistic person how dare you. Saying every person in Gaza should be obliterated makes you evil! And being autistic has nothing to do with being a Zionist scumbag

Odyssey plot hole: Why was the Cyclops making goats cheese with no profit incentive or shareholders to create value for?

[jimmy falun gong @eviIcherub]

the odyssey was inaccurate because nolan excluded the one night a year it’s legal for single people to have sex

@JLa2685 @Variety Considering it is not a very good adaptation of the poem and so consequently reflects poorly on her in the eyes of many people

[LeftieDownUnder @JulZD1997]

@JLa2685 @Variety To be fair so much of the unfounded criticism of the movie pre-release was about how Nolan said he'd used her translation and so people wrote it off for being a "woke" and so unworthy take on the odyssey because of her. I would be pissed too after all the hate she gets, seeing it
