At the beach earlier I got knocked over by a huge wave and hit my head hard on the rocks then got held under by the riptide for 4 minutes straight without oxygen to my brain. Now what's this I hear about there being Republicans who are pro-labor that the left should find common cause with?

I literally get 6-7 phone calls a day, all of which are people trying to run scams or phish. It's completely insane that we've let things get to this point. All means of interpersonal communication are just choked with spam.

I believe the US Supreme Court should not be expanded, and should instead have zero members.

“masking has become a symbol of solidarity between disability justice and the struggle for a free Palestine, and a commitment to ensuring that disabled and immunocompromised people are supported within left movements.” www.thenation.com/article/poli...
Masks Are a Symbol of Solidarity. Don’t Let Democrats Take Them Away.www.thenation.com Mask bans are ostensibly about public safety. The result would be disastrous for public health—but it goes beyond that, too.

FRIEND: I can't believe we got transported to Dead World, but we're both alive. I wonder what they eat on Dead World. ME: All I know is, it better not be us! NEARBY SKELETON: It most obviously is not. We just starve unless alive meat TRANSPORTS here?? Get your head out of your ass. Fuck you.

the interesting thing about France's great victory over the fascists is that the left was treated like an equal partner in the plan to prevent vote-splitting, and not simply screamed at to sit down, shut up, drop out, etc by shrill, egotistical centrists I wonder if anyone will learn from this

The candidates that won this election are the French Jamal Bowmans and the voters are the kids protesting the war in Gaza and people this side of the pond are congratulating each other as if this was a lesson on why you should vote for Macron, smdh

I was just riding my bike home by the bay yesterday and admiring the majesty of the clouds spilling over the mountains on the peninsula as as the sun set while I gazed at it from across the water, in awe and wonder at how amazing it looked. Really some cool stuff to see in pretty mundane places.

It's true that Covid-cautious people have moments of unnecessary caution or lashing out. We're all human. I see that the same way I see people who are broadly in the same other struggles as me posting unstrategic takes i.e. you won't catch me laughing it up about their broken brains etc etc.
Dedicating your time to mocking the people who are "too" cautious about Covid is punching down and punching left. No thanks.

If a Marxist is an adherent to the philosophy of Karl Marx, then it stands to reason that an Urbanist is someone who follows the philosophy of Karl Urban.

You see a ton of these in the bay area and I get that they were going for a futuristic thing but the main adjective that comes to mind for me when I see them is "ungainly."

Genocide is bad, in every case. Yes even that example. Yes even in that case.

The death rate is down. It’s far more of a chronic disease and a horrific labor issue. It’s a novel virus we have no idea what it will do to your body in the future. Immunocompromised people can’t partake in society. Old people have terrible vaccination rates. Death rate is a shit talking point

finally: an AI is doing your socializing for you, drinking on your behalf, getting you laid by proxy, finishing the books you didn't, learning the hobbies you planned to pick up, forming memories in your stead, all of that. you can at last relax, safe and alone, and contemplate death

If I were a basketball coach I'd always be coming up with crazy new gimmicks. Like what if we snuck a second, decoy ball onto the court to distract the defense and then while they were busy we got a basket with the real one? Just real outside the box thinking that most coaches wouldn't think to try
