Not retribution - accountability!

A few US-based people have reached out, concerned about the "violence" in France.

It's important to realize that French citizens have rights because they are never satisfied, and they protest.

Americans are losing rights because the status quo is "it's the freest country in the world," and they'll go to a no-kings march if it lands on the weekend, the weather is good, and they have no other plans.

Convincing people everything is "exceptional" leads to complacency.
Complaints lead to action.

Please let the Tesla fan bois know, before they put their deposit on the Roadster, that Tesla never paid back the $ 1,000 deposits it took from over 60,000 homeowners for Tesla solar roofs that never materialized

Putting a deposit for any Musk product is basically giving the world's wealthiest scam artist an open-ended, interest-free loan.

TIL about the Olivia Hill rule.

It starts "If you're a fascist, you're not welcome to play this game. It's against the rules."

As you can imagine, it causes fascists and adjacents to out themselves.

For now, I'm putting quotes around "false positive", because it happened after Taylor bribed Trump.

I donated. Now it's your turn, reader.

The easiest way to detect an AI video is to determine if it's *worth* watching.

The next time you're watching a Youtube short of a monkey escaping a zoo on a space hopper, stop asking questions like, "did his middle and index fingers switch places at 00:21?"

Instead ask: "what the fuck am I doing with my life?"

Imagine a web page that loads instantly, deploys effortlessly, and never needs a security update.

Release the Epstein Files.

After 9/11, I stopped living in a rented NYC apartment ... and bought one.

If you’re frightened by the prospect of a mayor who cares about all New Yorkers—not just the donor class—by all means, leave town.

It will help lower the cost of living for the rest of us.

P.S. See also the ALT text.

Summer reruns are the worst.

Something to chew on, this Pride month:

As a cis and/or hetero person, you don't have to understand how it feels to be gay, pan, or ace, to be trans, enby, genderfluid or any other identity or orientation. You don't need to intellectually "get" it. It doesn't have to make sense to you.

There's nothing more to it than taking people's word for how they feel, and standing alongside them, as they simply live their lives as themselves.

Much love :BetterPrideHeart:

It’s not new but I just discovered this @oatmeal post and I think it may well be my favorite of his.

“Sometimes going down the wrong path isn’t a mistake — it’s a construction line”

Amen to that!
