Immigrants are a social good, anti-immigrant propaganda is basically all lies, and any approach to the "problem" that doesn't start form those two points is worthless

Decades of media presenting them as the coolest dudes on earth repeatedly slams against the reality of the fact that seals really are the dumbest assholes enlisted in the military who have fucked up every mission they get their hands on, even the successful ones

The manifesto is a form of communicative game (in the most academic, sociological sense of that word) and by plumbing them for depth, you are engaging in the exact behavior they desired. The audience is not the target, the audience is the goal.

I like maybe 30% of what he says which really just boils down to very basic personal finance like "paying cash for things is better than financing" and "stop buying expensive shit and you'll have more money" Groundbreaking stuff

Big props to whoever wrote the script of this PBS doc “Soul of the Ocean.” I am moved as hell! “They get a buzz out of doing things together. Symbiosis can be traced as far back as bacteria. “Cooperation was built into life from the start and manta, angel fish and us, we all feel it.”

I like receiving recognition for my work but vague validation makes me feel like I'm being infantilized. Relying on that stuff to make you feel better about yourself is just gonna break your brain even worse

White Nationalism is so pathetic and immediately an indicator of microscopic horizons. We live on a rock in space with animals and humans in a vast universe of unfathomable age. Wrapping yourself in the flag and people who look like you is the same developmental rung as a pacifier and blankie

What's interesting, coming from someone who did it as a primary source of income for 5 months, is that the other end of doordash is equally as shameful. Not just dealing with unreasonable customers, but the fact that vendors will treat you like a scumsucking piece of shit for choosing that job

Social media has created this perversion in people's minds that every corner of the Internet should be accessible and palatable to them personally, and anything that isn't is a failure by default. I think if bluesky wants to survive it should function more like a walled garden from the old Internet
