@Craigp also when you're protesting the cops vs other things, they tend to get the most pissed about hurting their feelings directly and cop riot. No other skills to process their big emotions.
@krisfreedain Congratulations! 🎉
@Darkphoenix yep and also published in 2024 without any analysis of what might happen if Trump won

Autocracy, Inc. by Anne Applebaum
Disappointing. By avoiding critiquing US billionaires, this book has a huge analysis gap. I read it with my political group and will probably be the odd one out (again).
3/5 stars

If you're singing about being "so innocent" in your pop hit, I'm assuming you have trad wife identity politics. Skip!
@tithonium Honestly, if I had a car, that sounds like a way better use of my time. LOL
I need a new collapsible laundry basket as mine's fallen apart completely. I just need someone to take me to Fred Meyer or something and let me pick from 3 options. Not spend an hour on Amazon and leave more confused without buying anything.

"Younger people will have trouble picturing this, but #Google used to nurture an image of being the “good one” among megacorps; they championed #openstandards (except when they didn’t), supported #opensource projects (until they backstabbed them), and used language that corporate wasn’t supposed to use, like #dontbeEvil (until they,in a true dark comedy move, retracted that motto).
I was always an anarchist, abstractly, but in many ways Google was my political awakening."

Seattle aqi is bad enough that it woke me up. Great combo with the heatwave and Seattle housing's famous lack of AC.

I've spent 40 years interrogating my trans identity and I can tell you there will never be a better explanation than: "Because."
This is only annoying because cis people tend to believe we don't think about it when I've done multiple goddamn PhD theses on this shit in my head and on the page.
@atomicpoet sure our survival means we must be in community and we're wired to be social beings who want to belong.
Pick up trucks or Target pride merch aren't belonging.

@atomicpoet imo because people are emotional beings, not rational beings.
Went to a transit focused candidate forum for city council roles and the mayor. One candidate was against any new taxes (ones on the richest people and businesses) and said he voted for Trump, yet all his policies were like build more sidewalks, improve pedestrian crossings, move light rail above or below street grade, etc. which were the same as the candidates you'd put on the left of the spectrum. (Also where, sir, is this money coming from.)
Many people vote like sports teams, and for whatever emotional reason, they love that team.
