Tech bro runs a school, does he? How hard must that school suck that no one in it wants to learn anything voluntarily?

My least favorite things about anti- UBI discourse is always the techbros whining that "nobody is going to work anymore! People will just watch Netflix all day!" and I have 2 responses:

1) Who the fuck cares. Who the fuck cares what people do with their time! That's kind of the fucking point!

2) People aren't going to stop laboring. Housework (look, it's right there in the word!) will still need to be done. So will maintenance on our homes and personal spaces. Children will still need carers, as will the elderly and disabled. There are millions of examples of ~work~ that we do all the time, uncompensated, that won't suddenly stop because we aren't forced to sell our labor to provide corporation's profits.

I'm not surprised that what is traditionally women's work is invisible to these dipshits, but it never fails to anger me.

Anyway. Join the IWW.

History doesn’t necessarily repeat itself, but it does start to look like a circle after a while

“Here is what we know for certain: Americans are much, much crueler people than we care to admit to ourselves. Trump closed out the campaign with overt racism and calls for ethnic cleansing, and Americans who voted him either liked the idea of ethnic cleansing very very much, cheering and egging him on, or at worst tut-tutted and claimed that it would be worth it because of some largely fictional belief about the economy being “better” back in the days of mass pandemic death.”

Truly despairing. The lack of empathy. The self-interest of patriarchy.

Boys should not need girls to make themselves smaller.

Can confirm:

Goodreads was the future of book reviews. Then Amazon bought it.

"A prominent author’s decision to pull her new novel from publication after being ‘review bombed’ highlights Goodreads’s power in publishing — and raises questions about its longtime owner"

White working class workers with no degree will never admit they fucked up. It's up to us to remind them every chance we get.

Biden/Harris delivered heaven on a silver platter, and these racist assholes shit on the country and voted for austerity and violence.

Making less money from Trump rulings is OK if non-white Americans suffer more trauma.

Media dropped the ball. Again.
