Screenshot reading: “It is amazing that the US has basically stopped "mining" and nurturing its #1 potential indefatigable and game-changing resource- its population. At one point this resource was valued, nurtured and this investment paid off in untold lifechanging dividends. Now that the U.S. is run by a few money hoarders who only value maintaining ihegemony more than discovering radical new ideas. You don't see courage or investment in true R&D. You see everyone trying to make the next yawn inspiring rent seeking platform. Or the 18th thinner phone in a row. Companies only serving to concentrate wealth and exacerbate problems. Or the next law circumventing trick, but no true genuine humanity building idea. Just a pretender/ sociopath cultivating machine.”

I don't understand homophobia. I mean the word "homophobia." I don't get it. Fear of gays? If a lot of gay folks move into your neighborhood, your property value goes up and you get a new Whole Foods. What's to be afraid of? I once heard a guy say, "I don't want gays around. They'll try and convert me." Umm, they're not Jehovah's Witnesses, Skeeter. They don't spend Sunday knocking on doors asking who's read from the book of Judy Garland. Sunday isn't for recruiting, it's for brunch, silly. And if the reason you don't want to be around gay men is because you're afraid they'll somehow be able to talk you into being gay, then surprise...YOU'RE GAY! If you're totally straight, then what are you afraid of? You'll be at a party, some tall drink of water's gonna be handing out free BJ coupons, and you'll think, "Well, I can't turn down a deal, now can I? Not in this economy!*” Homophobia isn't fear of gays. It's fear you may BE gay. It should be called: "I'M A HOMO-PHOBIA* And for the record, don't be afraid. Gay men aren't vampires, they don't bite, and they can't convert you. They're more like Hagrid from Harry Potter: All they can do is introduce you to a fabulous new world by letting you know the magic was in you all along. @NatBaimel
Cover of Talk Talk’s 1991 album Laughing Stock. A square painting on a white background. The painting is of a stylised bare tree whose branches make a circle, with many birds perched on it. The sky is reminiscent of OP’s post, while it lacks the moon, the rolling clouds appear to reflect a peach/orange sunset alternating with darker purple or indigo. The tree is on a hemicircle like a gentle hilltop. The style of art is similar to that of surrealists.

Black and white portrait of David Bowie. He appears as he did in the early 2000s older but exceptionally handsome, with a finger raised to his lips, as if mid swearing secrecy.
A screenshot of a post by @Nickiquote@mstdn.social that reads: “Congratulations to Elon Musk for making cars so bad that no-one can tell if a carbomb has just happened or if the car just did that.” Posted Jan 01, 2025 at 12:21PM
A two panel meme of the Simpsons’ Principal Skinner where he’s searching for Bart at cheesy outdated places like the 4H club but failing to find him. (“The Boy who Knew Too Much”, S5E20) He momentarily ponders if perhaps he should reconsider his methods of finding truants where children might be. However he decides stubbornly that “it’s the children, who are wrong”— never mind he knowing deploying an ineffective strategy. Quote from the meme, paralleling the tone deafness of the wealthy The Atlantic Executive editor to Skinner: “Am I, Adrienne LaFrance, executive editor of The Atlantic so out of touch? No. It’s the majority of working class Americans who are wrong.”
