It’s not enough that these people steal from us and kill us, but they also insist we not criticize them while they do it.
He/They. Trying out some different instances. If you see this handle on another instance, it’s probably me, unless someone else also stole it from Campaign: Skyjacks.

I feel like this is going to end like Murder on the Orient Express, where…
… it turns out that literally everyone took turns shooting him.
I doubt it’s anything so deliberate. This story has been going viral on Bluesky as well.
It seems it slipped through the cracks at the time, but recent events have led people to reexamine it.
Yeah, that’s not a great source. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/nutritionfacts-org/
So build more. Yes, that takes time. So start now.
This is only difficult because we make it difficult.
It’s actually nothing like that at all. What you’re describing is putting a societal problem on the shoulders of individuals. What I’m suggesting is that society should actually fix the problems it has created.
Every place that has taken a “housing first” approach has seen success out of it. But people insist on making the problem more complicated than it is, because we’ve built an entire society on the false idea that poor people somehow deserve to be poor and anything done to help them is somehow unjust.
We could just house them. That seems to work.

I’ve been seeing more and more of those stickers around the last couple of years. I think this is just the media catching up
And now he gets to dictate public health policy.
Yes, we can all see Elon is embracing his heritage of brutal apartheid.
I mean, if you’re the asshole for suggesting it, then I’m right there being an asshole with you. I still tip, because I want the people who serve me to be able to take care of themselves, but ideally, that shouldn’t be my fucking responsibility. It should be their employer’s. It’s a fucking barbaric system that puts service workers’ ability to put food on the table in the hands of entitled Karens and reduces them to begging for a decent wage.
There’s a cider bar that opened in my town recently with a strict no-tipping policy, and holy shit, is it ever refreshing to not have to deal with that rigamarole.
I’ve been avoiding them for decades now. What they do to labor, what they do to suppliers, now this. And to top it all off, it’s just a really unpleasant place to shop.
I didn’t say I wanted the shit sandwich. I’m saying I don’t trust them to keep the shit sandwich away from my plate.
Yeah, they’ve all done a bang-up job over the last four years.
The major reason is that the Parkland families agreed to take a smaller payout as part of the Onion deal. Therefore, it enables more of the creditors to actually get paid (as opposed to the other deal, where the Parkland families would get almost all the money and the rest of the creditors would be left hat-in-hand).
Unfortunately, there’s a lot of those happening on Bluesky lately. Growing pains, I suppose.
At least the admins have been responding quickly to take them down.
I mean, coming into the office also has additional costs associated. Fuel, mileage, commute time, etc.
Elon has the ear of the president-elect now (for the time being anyway, until he gets Scaramucci’d). Of course they’re going to try to make him happy.
Corporations are sociopaths. They don’t care about what’s right, they car about what creates the most value for the stockholders.
Yeremi Colino was murdered the same day. No massive manhunt, no big cash reward for his murderers’ capture. AFAIK, they’re still at large.
But I guess that’s the difference in how our society values the lives of a migrant teenager and a CEO of a massive insurance conglomerate.
