Attached: 1 image The Biden administration just forgave $39 billion in student debt for more than 800,000 borrowers who have made payments for 20/25 years Great. Now can we talk about why 800K people were tricked to rack up $39 BILLION in debt when they were kids? Why we allow them to be tricked by the promise that maybe, kinda, possibly, one day it’ll pay off? Or why there are people who have been paying their student debt for 20+ years? Or why college isn’t free?

You brought a Confederate flag into the US Capitol, I believe we can survive a little cocaine. Honestly, we need extra cocaine now because of you.

I’ve been calling Twitter “birdchan,” but it’s worse. I don’t think 4chan had a billionaire rewarding the most hateful assholes with piles of cash.

Reflecting on my teens and twenties, even at my hormonal, lonely, mouth-breathing worst, I was never half as pathetic or desperate as the people who develop systems to follow up on abandoned online shopping carts.

"it's not like we can put the genie back in the bottle! 🤷" – VC who stands to profit massively from the release of the genie, and who has worked tirelessly to release said genie

A $400 billion company just sued scientists for their peer-reviewed research revealing a safety issue, but there's been total silence from all the prominent anti-vax and anti-cancel culture people. Gosh, it's like they're all just fronts for right-wing billionaires. https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/johnson-johnson-sues-researchers-who-linked-talc-cancer-2023-07-13/

Republicans want America to be a Christian nation except for all the parts in the Bible where it says to cancel debts, love your neighbor, don’t be greedy, be humble, feed the poor, heal the sick, and be nice to immigrants.

Attached: 1 image You know that feeling when you're finally packed up and ready to take a 23 hour flight and you go to pack your snacks and someone ate your fucking sandwich so now you have to make a new sandwich but you're out of lettuce and cheese and only have the dumb gluten free bread left so you'll have to have another drink at the airport to wash that shit down?? Yeah, well. Milo knows the feeling.

So are all those "I'm gOiNg to StAy AnD fiGhT fOR DeMoCraCy" big accounts on Twitter going to stop now that they know they are putting actual funds in nazi's bank accounts? Lmao, yeah I didn't think so.

BIDEN: passes jobs recovery act FOX NEWS: ... BIDEN: passes Covid debt relief act FOX NEWS: ... BIDEN: creates 12 straight months of lower inflation FOX NEWS: ... BIDEN: creates historically unprecedented manufacturing boom FOX NEWS: we vote for Trump because of economic anxiety

There are people who truly believe voting doesn't matter, and I get that, BUT if it truly doesn't matter then why are the Conservatives fighting so hard to stop minorities and women from voting, and trying to restructure districts? You don't fight against something that isn't a problem. The reality is that a large enough of a majority doesn't agree with them, and they know it.

I never predicted I would say this, but right now Mastodon is technically more stable than Twitter is. What a shit show e-musk made that place become.

Everyone* is going to be there, they did the work so the Brands were there on day one being all Brand-y, all the influencers and Creators are there, plus there are enough early 21st century mall cops around so the Nazis aren't *too* visible. It'll be packed and Elon is fucked. The amount of prep work Meta must've done to get all those blue checks lined up on day one, they know how to run their advertising businesses.

Watching two tech bros with user-data-driven commercial social media sites mocking how much personal data the commercial social media site of a third tech bro collects is hilarious in a totally hellish kind of 21st century way. Hope you’re enjoying the non-data collecting non-commercial one right here 🐘

If Jack Dorsey & Elon Musk (who are friends) merely wanted to run a MAGA site full of fascists, they could have just bought Parler & saved themselves approx 43.999 billion dollars. What they wanted was to cripple the sad remnants of investigative journalism, and the political left, which successfully used Twitter for political organizing, activism & messaging throughout the Trump regime. Why would anyone who cares about either of these things go to Jack's #Bluesky project.

the idea of being visited by aliens lost its appeal when i realized they’d likely just be some other planet’s asshole billionaires
