I don 't think it's a scam, but it's a great way for the developers to build a huge database of customer habits that they can sell to marketing companies.
I want to lathe an election-night-speech mixup into existence. Biden loses, the prepared victory speech is loaded into the teleprompter by mistake, and he reads it enthusiastically thinking he'd won because he'd forgotten he actually lost.
Union-
Trust-Absolutely, I keep telling people this. It's really just a matter of making extensive use of the like and not-interested buttons. The algorithm is scary good. One's main feed can easily be a sea of socialism and anticolonialism pretty quickly and consistently.
When it comes to getting the masses on board, we need to go where the people are. Lenin didn't demand that people visit him in some academic office on his timetable, he went out to meet the workers in their own gathering places, and when it fit their schedule. We need to follow Lenin's example, not just in what he advocated, but also in how.
I found a magical artifact of incredible power. Only the greatest of lesbians are able to wield such a fearsome weapon.
I'm okay with a little elder abuse, so long as the victim is someone who spent his adult life making life hell for the working class.
Their first instinct was to deliberately create a deadlock situation?
It's actually oddly poignant.
So I heard a man singing something in a language I didn't understand. I was curious if it was a religious day for one of the many cultures on my street. So I googled around and turns out it's Ramadan. I'm not sure what the appropriate well-wishing is for our muslim comrades from someone not of the same faith. I'll go with this and hope it's OK: may your faith, family, and friends bring you comfort.
But it's not about Ramadan that I wish to speak. On the same page I found were entries for Commonwealth Day ( 
), something called Maslenitsa that's apparently like a Russian equivalent of Mardi Gras, and World Plumbing Day.
This is where I argue that plumbers do more than anyone else in advancing socialism - whether they know it or not. Here's the logic.
-
Water/sewage systems go in.
-
Health improves. Workers live better and longer.
-
The average worker is now much more skilled and reliable.
-
The labour theory of value kicks in, and we all know the rest of that story.
So the next time you see a plumber, do whatever figurative hat-tipping is appropriate to the situation. Their work hastens the contradictions in capitalism. Every toilet, every showerhead, every sink faucet is a tap against the castle walls of the bourgeoisie. No one tap will bring down the walls - but billions will.
Postscript: I am extremely high right now, and quite sleep deprived in addition. I am broadcasting this to you from what I believe is Halley's comet.
The complete Calvin and Hobbes boxed set. It's a really funny classic comic strip that will make a reasonably literate kid laugh. And the artist snuck in a lot of subtle leftist thought-seeds throughout.
