Can you pinpoint for me this idyllic time when we had a decent society? My advanced years, perhaps, have clouded my memory.

Because, sadly, they want the ruling class to give them the order to do so. That’s why they’re the ruling class.

I have created a bunch of lists (i.e. Artists, journalists, news organizations etc) in my profile.

I would like it if there were a way for a user to reflect a category or set of categories in their public profile. For example, an artist could click an “artist” box in in their profile same with journalists, news orgs, etc. This way they show up automatically in a pre-defined list. It takes a lot of time to curate lists and this helps new users with immediate procurement, also helps users to be self serving syndicators.

A new user should be able to log in, categorize their profile, and quickly create a bunch of categories of interest. Once that’s done they should be able to turn on an algorithm that either automatically develops their information stream for them or gives them tools to procure their own stream.

Features could include things like only procuring 30 items per hour or other iterations of time and information.

So they can predict an individual’s product purchasing behavior with laser precision, but they can’t predict that an individual is going to become radicalized and turn into a Nazi? Sounds specious to say the least. In the end, waving a flag with a swastika is no different than purchasing lite beer. Different products being sold, same techniques to drive the purchase.

@Readsalot

Have him dress in pink camouflage and give him something very phallic as a magic wand.

Remember in 2008 when millions were losing their houses and millionaires and billionaires swooped in to buy up all the foreclosures at bargain basement prices? Same thing is going to happen with all of the start ups that are going to go under because of SVB. All the intellectual property will be purchased and exploited by fuckers like Elon Musk, Peter Theil and the whole parade of sociopaths.

Look everyone! Squirrel!

@JenWojcik

Ashton Kutcher should have been nominated for supporting actor. Great performance.

@stano

So when are Republicans going to step up and prove it?

As far as I can tell, the entirety of the Republican solution is to punch down, praise the lord, lick guns, and give all the money and power to billionaire doosh-nozzles.

The fascistic tendencies and garden variety xeno-homophobic amplification we are seeing lately are part and parcel of the American experience. This shit has ebbed and flowed since the first Christians killed the first natives and traded their first slaves.
The techniques of fascism are as old as empire.

Modern day America is not Germany in 1930. Let me repeat. This is not Germany in the 1930s. This is humanity doing what it has done forever. Vigilance is endless.

@realTuckFrumper

I think this statement is a root cause that needs to be taken very seriously…

“I think our society is pretty fractured. It's like, for the average male in America right now, a lot of dudes don't have one friend”.

“Entitled white males” are crying for help and, like it or not, entitled or not, we write them off at our peril. Progressives need to take this seriously and have an honest discussion about solutions.

@jaysonmassey

Historically, I have consistently hated my coworkers only marginally more than my family so seems like a wash.
