Sounds like a bunch of us should put up seeds with titles like "This (1947) It's A Wonderful Life (Public Domain) is better than (2025) Fantastic Four"
If you know anyone who is anti trans but goes by a nickname, start calling them by their given name. Doug, you're Douglas. Alex, you're Alexander or Alexis or whatever. Bill: William. Ted: Rafael (might only apply to one Senator).
Hah oh man I hope this is indicative of a Great Cancelation Event coming to punish all the capitalists, where we take the relatively minor power we have a individuals and combine it to smash the fuck out of them.
The Kimmel Disney thing showed people that we have the power at the end of the day, I hope these XBox games can hang tough and kick Microsoft right in the dick.
(Also maybe give these conglomerates some second thoughts about buying another company...)
I'm here for the headline but the content was disappointing. Mamdani got more votes for his mayoral primary win than the Republican who beat Osborn for the Nebraska Senate in the general election (Mamdani 573k in round 2, 499k for Fischer (R), 436k for Osborn (D)).
So who does this guy talk about for most of the article? Osborn, of course.
Look, I get that there will probably be a mix of Osborns and Mamdanis and everything in between and probably even outside of that landscape. There will be people I will have to hold my nose and vote for because they will go after the literally evil billionaires preying on all of us, even if we won't get their support for marginalized groups.
Even Ta Nehisi Coates said that he would have supported FDR in his recent sit down with class traitor Ezra Klein, even though FDR sold black Americans down the river.
Or just stay away from algorithmic social media, or maybe i mean ad-based for-profit algorithmic social media.
Lemmy doesn't seem to have a particular bent toward conflict the way that Facebook does (I know they're different in a lot of ways). Bluesky doesn't seem to have it, either, although we could still be in the "bait" phase before they "switch."
for all the terrible things both political parties wrought globally from the end of WWII until a Jan 20, 2017, they were united (more or less) in a commitment to being a rules and laws based main even if it hurt "their side" from time to time.
Even Reagan's "11th Amendment" would be set aside from time to time to preserve America's standing in the world.
Not so any more. And i don't actually know if it's possible to get that reputation back.
I think everyone should. that's the whole point of having a decentralized federation system: different people on different instances can decide what's to Nazi for them to tolerate. Not like Xitter where one dude decides what's the acceptable level of Nazi everyone should see every day.
I wonder how much America needs to dismantle itself and plunge its people into hell to make up for its share of the net evil caused from the end of WWII...?
("net evil" because there's some good and bad, and "share" because a lot of other countries participated...)
This argument has the same flaw as arguments about Americans "not wanting to work" in other jobs that are majority immigrant like construction and agriculture.
If any of these jobs paid well for the level of profit they generated, Americans would do them. Everywhere you see an immigrant filling a role in America (MAGA would say "talking a job"), you're looking at a horrifically undercompensated worker being abused by greedy capitalists.
The only bad guys in America are the ultra wealthy, their apologists (paid or no), and their enablers. They should all go up against the wall and get a very stern talking to.
