Capitalism is highly unstable, and the US empire is in decline. I strongly believe that without the support of a global hegemon, capital will win less and less.
Just look at how many times the US and its minions have intervened to topple or compromise socialist movements around the world. Without that intervention, many may have been successful. They can only keep this up for so long, and I suspect they’re already starting to strain.
It’s a long ass road but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Are you gonna accept fascism, or take the step?
Labor organizing is a good thing to work on - it can bring about modest improvements for the working class, and you can’t be too organized. Educate anyone who’s willing to listen, educate yourself, actually read stuff. Maybe there’s a local organization you can join. Maybe there are some smaller wins possible in local politics, get familiar with who’s on your city council, go to some meetings or something. There are many options. Sitting on your couch and declaring hopelessness isn’t the best one.
Those really look like opposable thumbs.
This man is more serious than you think. Israel is a place, “somewhere else” to put all the Jews, so that they’re “not here”. That sounds pretty great to a nazi, actually.
Teslas are so bad for this, that whole “all the controls are on a big ipad” setup should be illegal.
I didn’t read too far, but,
To restrict car manufacturers and other companies from selling consumer car-related data, increase transparency regarding data practices, and for other purposes.
already skips over collecting the data, so yeah. I would guess this bill just exists for the optics, and isn’t actually intended to challenge the industry.
This is what I did, would also recommend. I don’t even think Brotherhood is better, the original has some really strong points.
Oooh I’ve been eagerly awaiting season 2 of Arcane. Hadn’t seen the release date yet. Excited now. 😸
I’ve been wanting to re-watch firefly lately. It’s short but there’s just so much in it. It’s one of two shows I’ve watched start-to-finish more than once.
And since we’re here for recommendations…the other show I’ve watched more than once is Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. Based on a book by Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) it’s charming and insane in ways you might expect if you’re familiar with Hitchhiker’s Guide but it’s absolutely not predictable either. So much fun. (Available on Netflix (in Canada…last I checked))
Every accusation is a confession…
Suddenly it makes sense why they’re so terrified of anyone outside the gender binary.
The working class I guess? Certainly no one with power.
I wish people didn’t have such a tendency to think of things as binary, when basically nothing is. It’s super unhelpful.

Problem solved 😁
Obligatory downvote but I enjoyed the first Shapez and this one looks way cooler, I’m excited to get into it.
Copilot seemed to be a bit better tuned, but I’ve now confused it by misspelling strawberry. Such fun.
One time they told me I had 3 days left to enjoy YouTube with my ad blocker, and then I would have to buy premium, or they would just lock me out of the site. I was like “welp, it had a good run, I guess that’s it for ol’ YouTube.”
But then the 3 days went buy and nothing ever came of it.
That tactic probably did get them some preemptive subscriptions though, unfortunately.
I had to drive a truck recently, (needed to rent a vehicle, and they only had pickups left.) It was a chevrolet Colorado, which I understand to be one of the smaller trucks available in North America, and I was so happy to get rid of it at the end of the trip. It was fine on the highway, but in the city it was just incredibly awkward. Cumbersome handling, blind spots for days…I constantly felt like I was going to hit something.
I can’t even imagine how clueless you’d be about your immediate surroundings in a monstrosity like what’s pictured here.
Yeh, if I ever see my TV’s OS I’m like “fuck off! HDMI4!”
That’s amazing, gotta love strange cats.
