Every Democratic activist, strategist, and lawmaker in America has spent at least a brief moment this fall staring at the ceiling in desperation, probably thinking to him- or herself: Something’s gotta give.
Democrats were already facing an inconvenient truth going into next year’s elections: The incumbent president’s party usually gets smoked in the midterms. But they keep getting more bad news.…
Most effective social change comes not from paying passing awareness to all social issues, but from working with deep, sustained focus on a specific social issue.
You don't have to ignore everything that isn't your area. But you don't have to fight every fight with equal energy. limit guilt.

hi. i'm that one anon who once talked about your analysis of dot. i'm here to say i started watching pokémon horizons because of you
i'm having so much fun. it's been so long since i last watched anything related to pokémon; feels like it has been ages since i watched ash's journey on TV as a kid. that being said, i love liko. i relate to her A LOT - what she said in the early episodes about not being able to talk to people and struggling to put her thoughts into words. i feel that an awful lot
i haven't met dot yet; just her "counterpart" nidothing/gurumin so i'm really excited to see her! i stopped around episode 6 or 7, had to stop because we had a power outage just now lol but i'm eager to get back into it
i just thought i'd let you know since i obviously adore the analysis you write about likodot. you're quite literally the CEO of likodot LOL. the trio - liko, roy, and soon dot - seem to be very entertaining and interesting characters and i can't wait to see more of their journey
anon we literally have the same brain
it's been so long since i last watched anything related to pokémon; feels like it has been ages since i watched ash's journey on TV as a kid. that being said, i love liko. i relate to her A LOT - what she said in the early episodes about not being able to talk to people and struggling to put her thoughts into words. i feel that an awful lot
i haven't talked about liko nearly as much (and i should) but i checked out horizons initially because i was curious about the new girl protag and i expected to watch a couple episodes and be like Huh Neat and click off, but then instead i was taken aback by how much i related to liko right off the bat and how endeared i was by her character, and then roy's JOIJSDIOFS it is really surreal enjoying horizons after not really enjoying anipoke since being a kid. and i tried, too, which makes it more surreal ajifodsf
i'm glad you're enjoying it!! it makes me happy to hear me talking about the thing i like can introduce the thing to more people who get something meaningful out of it :^) and THANK YOU I'M TRYING TO BE A GOOD CEO 💀LMAO
How the hell does a company that’s been making submersible vehicles since 2009 decide to kick off a program that puts a crew of one pilot armed with a knockoff xbox controller and four clueless passengers in an expensive metal inescapable coffin to take leisurely tours of the titanic on the ocean floor
Heather Manchin, while CEO of Mylan, ran up the price of epinephrine autoinjectors (EpiPens) around 600%. Her actions have, without a doubt, left families without life-saving epinephrine when a child or other family member suffered anaphylaxis. She is the epitome of evil.
CEOs were paid 399 times as much as a typical worker in 2021. Their pay is growing faster than the stock market, typical workers’ pay, and even the top 0.1% of wage earners. This isn’t normal.
Every day I am forced to learn about some new influencer/It Girl/celebrity against my will and almost every time their wikipedia page is just a meaningless list of sponsorship deals and awards with absolutely no indication of what it is they’re actually famous for

Non bullets, non tactics, non inequality, all of the presents of race haven’t helped an environment, go green one Earth, all humans, whatever gendered, it’s you that slows work in your own mind presence

i do think we need to confiscate the word 'strike' for a little while because like. while yes it is strictly speaking nice that you're making art in support of palestine, it is not in any way an organised labour action.
the basis of a strike is that the ultimate source, of the wealth of the capitalist class, is labour; that, without the millions of us dutifully working away, each and every great-man CEO entrepreneur would be unable to make a single cent of profit or produce a single product. recognising and leveraging that political and economic fact, recognising and leveraging the socialised nature of production to the advantage of workers and the working class, by applying economic pressure, is what a strike is. it is the one form of influence we, as workers, have, in a 'democratic' capitalist system, ruled by competing parties of slaveowners, who materially cannot care about anything but their bottom line. we control production, if only we can organise ourselves.
if you're unable to participate in an actual labour strike, then that's simply a fact that needs to be accepted. there's a lot of work to be done towards building an effective labour movement, a fighting force capable of standing up to the military, police, and simple cold economic arms of the current world-system. watering down what effective resistance looks like, claiming that you're 'striking' by not buying groceries, does not help that work, it is just the numbing saliva of a mosquito bite that stops you noticing your blood being drained. calling these individual shopping choices or creative pursuits a strike doesn't change the fact that you're not actually taking part in a strike, and, at worst, makes you forget that fact. to belabour the quote, 'they think that by changing the names of things, they have changed the things themselves!'
now, the reason all this is important, is because we need to organise and participate in actual strikes - that is the centre of this. deciding the work is done and that you've already achieved a strike must be strictly opposed because it is impeding us from bringing about an actual strike. the hostility to these notions on 'strikes' comes not from an opposition to striking, but from the will to actually bring about a strike in reality, not just in one's own head.
'Shameful': Ro Khanna Confronts Big Pharma Lawyer Over Medicare Drug Prices
The California Democrat accused Johnson & Johnson—makers of the $160,000-per-year leukemia drug Imbruvica—of floating a "flimsy legal theory" in a "desperate attempt to protect profits."
