a system in which one party fully embraces lies, violence and lies about violence is not workable. we are a week out from elections, a few days after an attempted assassination met with laughter theswordandthesandwich.substack.com/p/on-lying-abo…

This is the thing about ‘representation’. Suella Braverman is able to use the type of language that would be absolutely off-limits to any White Male Tory. She can tip the whole discourse violently Rightwards because of her ethnicity

THIS. The only success metric being growth (of wealth, population, etc) is a modern invention driven by limited assumptions. 'Capital in the 21st Century' is a fantastic read for understanding that. (For example: did you know inflation is essentially a 20tg century phenomenon?)

Back in the day the slogan was 'reduce, reuse, recycle' but the first two and ESPECIALLY 'reduce' got eliminated in favor of the 'line always goes up' forever growth economic mindset. And just. When do we have enough? What can we do to make sure we CAN reduce?

Sarah Tuttle,🌻 Also much of the framing re productivity is wrong - it's not just about workers being less productive. Their productivity can drop when key supplies are scarce, demand signals misconstrued, freight stuck in ports, extra inventory in warehouse, etc. C-suite is responsible too.

Reduce is one. Reuse is two. Recycle is a distant third.

Read it for yourself. Here's the FBI's summary of what it says was a Mirandized interview with the man who attacked Paul Pelosi.

How strange for someone commenting on public health recommendations to ask for amnesty...

You would only ask for amnesty if you knew you were participating in a crime.

Have to say, this strike + Halloween combo has led to some delightful results. Who knew those Pac People and Ghosts were unionized!? #DalStrike CUPE 3912

Since apparently my cultural references are completely mismatched with reality... We all enjoyed Brisco County, Jr., right? Back in the day?

Couldn’t think of anything scarier than all six mass extinction events at once
