it is may 10 and stalin saved the world from fascism

i have watched flee recently, and i have very contradictory feeling about the main character

spoiler

his bro is the real hero, sacrificing his life to help family, while the main character is like "they sacrificed so much for me, i gotta rise and grind for them". although he is obviously fucked from the lying about family and stuff, which maybe the reason for avoiding people (coupled with fears of coming out) great movie anyway

Inner sloth got Thom Yorke to make the ost for the newly released among us 3D game

im about to fuck my parents up with some food on an entirely different level of decadence than they can imagine, i've got chicken for souvlaki marinating that Im gonna make into wraps with some homemade tzatziki and really nice tomatoes and lettuce, i'm gonna toss some broccolini in lemon juice and oil and garlic and shit and then grill that shit til it chars, and I'm gonna make hassleback potatoes with bacon fat and garlic in every slice. happy mother's day motherfuckers

I wish libidinous still had the bee element from the noun form. Kinda lame without it tbh

tried making some siopao for the first time and it was a bit of a struggle but i hope that they at least taste good

I was never a huge fan of Coke, Fanta or McDonald's, but since I started boycotting them I have realized how much I don't like them. I don't miss them at all, and I don't know what keeps drawing people back to that crap

A guy was hammering on the bus door trying to get in as the bus drove off, I told the bus driver someone wanted to get on and he responded by literally saying "I guess he's going to be late".
HE WAS TOUCHING THE BUS.
Now I'm sitting here fuming at a bus driver.

The contradictions are sharpening and the Imperial Core ever more fascistic and autocanniballistic. The silver lining is that at least folk punk is making a comeback. 🪕

Saitō Kōhei is right — Marx (and thus Marxists, until Saitō arrived) was completely wrong to assert "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of the development of the productive forces."

How did Engels let this get published in 1848? Right, he was a Stalinist.

My Ace Trainer boyfriend just got back from his Hoenn League trip and I couldn't help but notice all of the badges he acquired were from the woman gym leaders there, but none from the men.

I have a little old baby truck for supposedly making my life easier with projects, but I went like 7 months without starting it and driving it around (a long story), so the less than 1 year old battery died. like full drain. I spent the entire morning looking up the various hardware I can buy/use to remedy this specific situation (multi stage charger, 10A) as well as prevent it in the future (2-3A maintainer).

my current place doesn't have a garage or a car port or even a goddamn outlet on the porch, so I guess I'm charging this thing inside the house now that I've pulled the battery out. if I keep the windows open, that's well ventilated right?

this is so America car brained, but one day I just want to have a really simple shed that has like 3 bays worth of space, all my tools neatly organized, power outlets, wifi, a little dumpy computer I can easily watch videos on, and all the bullshit so I can just mostly fix my own dumbass problems without turning my living space into a chaos dungeon.

I want to quit my job

Caffeine not hitting the way it usually does these past couple days. Ughhhh

I work/study/do research in healthcare and I've been recently thinking about how much of modern medicine/healthcare is based on the guarantee of antibiotics working properly. On the other hand, there are more and more resistant bacteria floating around the communities, ie. outside the ICU where they usually come from.

Antibiotic resistance and development is yet another barrier that capitalism fundamentally cannot overcome, regardless of how many reforms you make. Research for new drugs take a long time and is very expensive. Along with this, the correct way of using antibiotics is avoiding overuse or just reducing the use in general, specially of new drugs that bacteria can't resist yet. That means that companies can't expect to make a profit out of any new drug that they develop, since trying to use them as little as possible is the rational way.

In other words, the profit motive is unable to create new antibiotics in the manner that the world needs right now, let alone in the much worse future. If we lose antibiotics, modern medicine mostly comes to a halt. For example, say goodbye to surgeries and also to your little niece that got an ear infection that every kid gets at least once. Tooth extractions becomes a very high risk procedure, too.

Saitō Kōhei is right — Marx (and thus Marxists, until Saitō arrived) was completely wrong to assert "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of the development of the productive forces."

Vape pen but instead of weed juice I fill it with pickle juice so I can get my fix any time anywhere

A small child on the bus is super impressed by an expensive Audi... because the numbers on its number plate are a palindrome.

Great-aunt is over and spreading extremely obviously fake stories about people from American reality TV shows and celebrities being killed by other famous people and them all having bodies found in secret basements. Which I'm assuming are from AI YT channels.
