In 9999, this meme will be problematic because it assumes the entire galaxy conforms to an Earth-based calendar system.

Your right wing friends and family - their lived experience has proven that the system doesn’t work for them, and they’re rightfully pissed off.

My Trump loving relatives used to be Bernie supporters. If you can speak to what they already know - that our country is failing them and we need real change - they’ll realize that we all have a lot more in common than the establishment gives us credit for.

Bernie has been speaking truth to power on this longer than I’ve been alive, which is why the ruling class killed both his presidential campaigns.

Now, we’re seeing the logical conclusion that plays out when people feel like there’s no way to win this fight at the polls.

That’s true, but the opposition has shown their strategy already: to redirect public unrest towards marginalized groups and social policies, and away from the bourgeoisie. The result is right-leaning people getting captured in a funnel that starts with “society is too woke” and ends in full blown fascism.

So how do we counter it? By maintaining a grassroots effort to bring people out of that funnel by showing worker solidarity and uniting against the ruling class.

If you push someone away because they voted for the wrong candidate or don’t agree with you on some social cause, some fascist talking head on YouTube will be right there to swoop them up.

The sooner we realize the “left vs right” battle is a facade put up to distract and divide us, the sooner we realize what terrifies the upper class: we’re much stronger together.

Unless you’re a Nazi, then you can get fucked.

What a fucked up country where if you want to murder someone, all you need to do is harass them relentlessly for days beforehand so when they eventually try to protect themselves you can shoot them and claim self defense.

That show has so many amazing characters.

Some people grow into it. I’m sure OPs mom is a smokeshow today!

Listen, I can’t stand Musk either, but it would be a good idea to add a disclaimer that this tweet is fake.

1. I disagree on this point. It’s convenient for a vegan, vegetarian or just someone who is trying to eat less meat to be able to make a substitution in a recipe. Tempeh is a great protein, but you have to know how to prepare it and what dishes it will work best in, whereas vegan “chicken” or plant based “beef” can be easily substituted 1:1 in recipes. As you get more comfortable, you can start substituting things like ground tofu, lentils or seitan, but having the culinary shorthand is helpful for lots of people.

2. I’ve had the opposite experience. Most of the vegan recipes I’ve found online use clever plant based substitutions that aren’t processed meat alternatives. A good exercise is to take your favorite dish and Google “vegan [that dish]” and see what ingredients are in those recipes. Many of the recipes you find will likely have whole food ingredients!

3. I don’t think vegan food brands are trying to change hearts and minds necessarily. I think they’re just providing easily substitutable alternatives for people who have already decided to eat fewer animal products.

Same tbh

I suppose my intent for this question was a little more nuanced than what I posted, so my bad. Generative AI wowed me initially, but it very quickly lost its appeal to me the more it became anti-consumer. As I learned more about the models and saw how it just aggregates and plagiarizes human created content it all really soured on me. I suppose it’s still technically impressive, but I really struggle to see how the benefits outweigh the cost.

The tweet in question to save you the click.

The replies are hilarious. Everyone is 100% in favor of this idea, but the MAGA dipshits don’t realize she’s literally only doing this to protect a pedophile sex trafficker.

So, MTGs plan is to call out the entire Republican party as corrupt and rally her supporters to air their dirty laundry to the public. Truly fantastic, MTG. Please don’t let anyone talk you out of it.

Is that where the confirmation hearings for the cabinet picks are being held?

No, he clearly wanted a Nintendo Switch.

1933 by Frank Turner.

The first time it was a tragedy,
The second time it’s a farce.
Outside it’s 1933,
So I am hitting the bars.

And I don’t know what’s going on anymore.
The world outside is burning with a brand new light,
But it isn’t one that makes me feel warm.
Don’t go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn.
