Britain joining the illegal war on Iran will not benefit a single bus driver, a single teacher, a single nurse, a single care worker, a single business owner, a single farmer in Britain
It will only benefit billionaires around the world
Say no to foreign wars.
Corporations took this from us.
The race to be as minimalist as possible in order to cut costs for maximized profits stole all art direction from every design field.
morality is important today more than ever because it slows you down. you are forced to think about whether your choices & thoughts do justice to your soul before you do or say anything. and in a world that incentivizes you to consume & regurgitate, thinking is going to save you
Very cool how you never fully get over how it feels to remember we have to share this planet with so many cruel people. Like you’ll think you’ve fully processed it, and then it’ll randomly hit you again, and again, and again, no matter how many decades you’ve had to reflect.
GBH I’m fairly confused about how the medium-term impact of “what if we just kidnapped the dictator of Venezuela and put him in jail in Brooklyn” appears to be “nothing.”
"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The true path to liberation for lonely men IS feminism—b/c pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating."

the science has shown it is FAR more effective if 80% of the population masks just 30% more often (which is as simple as public transport, stores and medical appts) than our current model of 5-15% of the population masking 100% of the time
The moment has come to stop calling it "student loans:" it's not a loan, it is not repaid in full, and there are no fixed T&C.
It's a graduate tax that applies only to young workers. And it allows governments to increase taxes on a single generation while protecting the others.
I love this piece of history, and I bet it’s not taught in schools.
In the 1860s, white working class cotton workers in Lancashire refused to support the Confederacy, which was fighting to keep slavery going, and instead supported the abolition of slavery, even though it meant losing their livelihood and starving.
Despite suffering from immense hunger, lack of heating, and evictions, Lancashire workers held meetings, such as the one in Manchester on December 31, 1862, to pass resolutions in support of Abraham Lincoln and the abolition of slavery. They deemed the suffering "fairly compensated" if slavery was destroyed.
It’s stories like this which prove racism and slavery was not white vs black… so many white people fought for our ancestors freedom even at their own detriment. Both of our white and black ancestors often fought on the same side
Thank you to those working class white people of Lancashire.
Let me point out something that should be obvious but I don't think many people have realized.
AI is Spyware, it logs and steals everything you do.
Of course they want you to use it everywhere, then they will know everything.
This is even better because qīu 秋 "autumn" provides the phonetic component of the close-sounding chóu 愁 "sorrow" - so the wordplay works both orally and visually. On paper when you remove the emotions 心 from sorrow 愁 you talk about autumn 秋 🥹
God, I detest this dumb argument every time it rears its ugly head. "Your brain is doing the same thing as an LLM!" Um ... no? When I write a poem about how a strawberry tastes, I've actually tasted a strawberry. The LLM hasn't, and in fact can't conceptualise taste at all.
reminder that there actually are developing and even proven solutions to most of the existential issues facing humanity and the only thing between us and those solutions is a class of ppl who are intentionally-obfuscating that info to keep ppl feeling hopeless. don’t buy into it.
"Everything is more expensive because people want higher wages!!!"
No. Everything is more expensive because the elite group of super rich boomers who control literally everything don't pay taxes and demand ever-increasing profits so they can buy private islands where they do unspeakable things and bribe world leaders
