i love how this hacks speech also gave me a response to use when idiots say things like “AI is here to stay - it’s happening whether you like it or not”

Being well-read isn’t about reading 500 books; it’s about encountering different human minds. Reading Dostoevsky means sitting with guilt, morality, and suffering; Fahrenheit 451 forces you to confront conformity and censorship. Ultimately, reading is about letting another perspective challenge how you see the world.

Over 16,000 people fill the stadium for the women's Bundesliga opener. It's magnificent. It's loud as hell. It's kick off in the Alte Försterei. #fcunion | #FCUFCB

Late-stage capitalism has poisoned our air and our food, made it impossible for working class Americans to ever own a house, and sold our bodies for parts via private prison labor and for-profit healthcare. “Socialism bad” just isn’t gonna cut it anymore.

So when are we gonna start calling Boomers the entitled ones for causing greenhouse gas emissions that they won’t have to live through the worst consequences of

[Dfw_camo @dontplay_z]

Capitalism keeps poor people busy by making us struggle to meet our basic needs. When we are struggling to eat,to live,we can't find time or energy to be political, to organise,to disrupt.

The same reason we went back to “business as normal” in the middle of an ongoing pandemic. The same reason we’re ignoring the western world & china burning more coal/fossil fuels than ever. The same reason ppl are ignoring multiple ongoing genocides occurring simultaneously

[goma @soigomaa]

Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology

USL might’ve discovered something with promotion/relegation and putting teams in locations with basically nothing to do but go to Walmart

[delulu @welchmeyer]

guys i don’t care if USPS lost your package once or whatever. if we lose USPS it will impact so. many. people. negatively.

it’s the ONLY program we have required to deliver to EVERY address.

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

I don’t want to "download the app" to pay for parking. I don’t want to "create an account" to see a menu. I don’t want to "provide feedback" on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash.

also, beating your child is a form of grooming, even if the parent’s intent isn’t sexual or predatory. you’re conditioning your child to accept violation, tolerate abuse, and remain silent.

you’ve created a victim out of your own child. are you proud of yourself?

[Michael Blanco @MrFunOnABun]

@Birdyword Another factor is the lack of traveling fans & support. American sports scatter away fans throughout the stadium diluting their ability to gather and chant in unison. MLS clubs have started to create away sections but they're still too few in number or far from the pitch.

[United Soccer America @reformussoccer]

Calling soccer “socialist” is hilarious.
Open soccer with promotion and relegation may be the most capitalist sport on earth.

Win and you rise. Lose and you drop. No guaranteed monopoly. No permanent protected cartel.

Meanwhile, football, baseball, and basketball operate as closed leagues with massive public subsidies and legal protections, like exemptions from anti trust laws.

That’s not capitalism. That’s cronyism.

every single day just feels like this image now

[Luthen’s Reality @RealLuthen]

This is exactly why billionaires can’t exist. This man is burning the entire world down because he cannot accept his daughter for who she is. And he has the money to actually do it. No one can have that power.

[Thrilla the Gorilla @ThrillaRilla369]

We’re obsessed with the idea that poor people might take more than they need, but we never question why the super rich are never satisfied with what they already have.
