economics not beating the “astrology for men” allegations with quotes like this
look, I get that there’s a certain amount of catharsis in seeing a political candidate stand up and name oligarchy and capitalism as prime evils worth defeating. but running these candidates is a slippery slope to awakening class consciousness in the american electorate
I keep saying this but this guy is evidence that we can say things like "oligarchy!" It's not elitist to use a nonstandard word. Oligarchy is an accurate word. If it means I need to get a kettlebell so I can say oligarchy I'll do it.
we have nothing to lose but our gains
MmmHmm. Thank you for saying this.

“She had not a thought in her head that wasn’t a slogan, and there was no imbecility, absolutely none, that she was not capable of swallowing if the Party handed it out to her” - George Orwell, 1984
Huh. I thought we weren't supposed to say "Oligarchy" because it was too elitist a word for independent voters or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for the summary - I clicked on a gift link this morning, but soon blacked out in a rage.
I've been thinking about that tote bag. This was the post that put my tote bag buying impulse over the top.

Put extra “n”s when typing Connnor, just in case.
the fatal flaw with the Bluesky is dying proposition is that it ignores the broader truth that I am also dying, as are you, and everybody you know. By dying Bluesky lets us know that it’s one of us, that it shares in our beauty and our pain. Grow or die? No, there is no “or.” Bluesky understands
Well actually... oh never mind. Yes, we're all praying... for something...
i can’t blame us for getting excited. It’s been a long year. We’d like a treat!

Jamie Oliver brilliantly debunks the lies and ridiculous statements that RFK JR. has stated on multiple occasions. Experts are saying that RFK JR’s statements could very well be related to the worm in his brain. He is extremely dangerous and unfit! #USDemocracy #Pinks youtube.com/shorts/JPzXG...

I’m glad to see this as the front page story on the NYT today. It has been so, so obvious that he’s targeting non-white people

Just finished @amandaknox.com 's memoir "Free." It was really beautiful and challenging and tears pricked my eyes at some point in every chapter. (I cried the most while reading your acknowledgements). I can see the work you've done and hear the Buddhist philosophy in your writing. Thank you.
They're definitely brushing it off. They think we're overreacting. The only thing they trust is trump; they think he's everlasting.
Can't blame folks for dreaming...

*8/28/2025 thread of noncooperation* Sidebar! I've been thinking a lot about Lisa Cook fighting to *stay* at the Fed vs. CDC leaders *leaving* the CDC. Productive noncompliance looks different under different circumstances. "No, I won't get out of your way" vs. "No, I won't help you do harm." 4/
