The bombers will be taking off on Friday right as the NYSE closes.

I feel like Trump could have had one of the easiest presidencies ever. Just play up the dumb MAGA shit, maybe stir some culture war BS, and let the machine brrr. Instead he's brought us to the edge of a nuclear war.

Also tons of oil would get irradiated making it basically worthless.

Shower wasn't draining well so I pulled up the grate and a strand of gunk about a foot long and the width of the pipe came up with it. Absolutely nasty.

It's crazy how bad doctors are allowed to be at their jobs. I know a lot of it is systemic to the US' hyper-decentralized market driven triaged medical system but basically everyone I know has a story about a doctor who just totally ignored them, got a diagnosis wrong, or made a serious surgical mistake. Unless they cause you serious physical harm and you win a lawsuit against them there's really no repurcussions for mistreatment.

I understand people make mistakes but the fact that it's so prevelant in medicine, one of the few jobs that really doesn't have room for mistakes, is absurd.

It's crazy how good having two consecutive days off is. This will probably end for me next month though and I'm dreading it.

Israelis, famous for being very inclusive of all identities and definitely not hating everyone that isn't a white-ish Jew with genocidal rage.

Haha I did the same thing when I first went vegan. That first summer I froze this terrible mash of dark chocolate, banana, and soy milk in a desperate attempt to replicate ice cream. It tasted good but was hard as a rock.

So Delicious was sort of a pioneer in the field but I think they're kind of lagging behind in terms of quality nowadays. A lot of the major brands make plant based options now but grocers usually still have a pretty limited selection. Mix in style ice creams that are very sweet and have a lot of extra stuff in them seem to be easier to replicate than single plain flavors but anything that is oat or cashew based should taste pretty good. Coconut and almond milk products freeze too hard in my opinion.

Also nowadays you can get a half decent plant based version of just about anything if you look hard enough and you can afford it.

I mean it's underdeveloped and common. It's a vague anti-war sentiment without real material analysis of the conflicts and the contradictions underneath them that pervades the masses. As the last half-century has shown us, it's paper thin for most Americans and they can be turned into bloodthirsty (or at least indifferent) imperialists with ease as long as they won't personally in the line of fire.

Actual worker organizing (that transcends the confines set by labor law and the big unions) driven by the left organizations is the only thing that will build a working class that can learn how to fight. Why would we think workers will seriously confront capital and the state when they won't even confront their boss? Performative International Workers Day "strikes" will not achieve this, only actual organizing.

I've been wanting to write something about how the US left has a deeply embedded Trotskyist current of opportunism that in our current moment has latched onto a vulgar anti-imperialism and this is one characteristic of that.

I think it's got a lot to do with how people treat service workers and inversely how service workers (especially young female service workers) are taught to see themselves too. There's a reason all these incidents happened at restaurants and grocery stores and not other worksites.
