Another day, another post like this. There are literally hundreds of thousands of credible, peer-reviewed studies explaining what’s going on. 2019 was the last normal year because it was the last time people weren’t getting repeatedly infected with a brain-damaging virus.

Yes. Covid literally melts and fuses brain cells. We are losing our minds.

There isn't much I like about Americans, but the understated cultural taboo we have around having servants/hired help and being generally polite to waitstaff is a genuine achievement in egalitarianism. Much of the rest of the world are absolute savages in this regard.

A lot of people are under the mistaken impression that progress means advances in tech. Real progress is kids who are literate, free meals for public school students, a culture in which human art & poetry are celebrated. We're regressing rapidly & the only way forward is to read.

“Don’t buy a car, it’s a depreciating asset.” Brother, I myself am a depreciating asset. I won’t be here forever. Not everything has to be optimized for returns, some things are just meant to be enjoyed while we’re here.

HustleBitch this is the "why are ppl dying of weird cancers & pneumonia" stage of the early AIDS crisis

She's giving kids the language and confidence to speak out if they're experiencing abuse. This song will save so many children.

In America we have a personal development section the size of my living room because there is no systemic analysis in the cult of the individual. Got a problem? It’s probably your Lifestyle Choices.

I will never understand how so many of y’all were hoodwinked into believing the government should not use the money you pay in taxes to create a social safety net that benefits you, fund public healthcare, lower housing costs, and make daily life more affordable.

Normalise calling disinformation by its traditional name: Lies.

It bums me out that we have the resources to fix our society, stop our reliance on fossil fuels, guarantee healthcare, house the homeless, and feed every person in the country, but doing so would be a bad time for like, 8 dudes, so we can’t do it.

The profit motive will end life on Earth if we let it

Apparently, these 2idioms are incomplete and the full versions are: 1. Curiosity killed that cat, but satisfaction brought it back. 2. Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one. I am relieved to know now

pretty much all the smartest and most talented people i know have sort of had their lives fucked or had their talents criminally under shared due to "the economy"

One of the more sinister trends of the past 40 years has been a cultural taboo against having any kind of intellectual life. We’re bombarded with relentless propaganda about how knowing things makes you a nerd and loser. Curiosity is empowering, & they don’t want you empowered.
