Finally watched the third season. It's a kids' show that doesn't feel like a kids' show. I recommend it if you like seeing character development in your stories. I don't want to post spoilers here but DM me if you want to chat about it.

Shout out to everyone who exists. Existing is tough, but you're pulling through.
Books pictured:
The Gathering: Reuniting Pioneering Artists of Magic
Binti: the Night Masquerade, by Nnedi Okorafor
The small card represents an ebook called "Monsters and Other Scary Shit"
A Dance with Dragons, by George R.R. Martin
Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, by Yuval Noah Harari
On the sheet of paper: books that I would read online, namely,
The Conquest of Bread, by Petr Kropotkin
The Tao te Ching
Old Norse writings such as the Havamal
The Wildered Quest by Kate Elliott
So these are a few of the things on my to-read list. It's an eclectic group. Which do you think I should read first? Or, do you have other related books you'd recommend? I'm a fan of fantasy, speculative science fiction, explicitly leftist/ socialist works. What stuff have you read that looks similar to anything here? #books #reading

it's happening, olly thorn is reading the entirety of shakespeare's works

I missed most of the stream when hbomberguy was was playing donkey kong because I hadn't ever played it myself, but I'm more excited for this stream

Those children have their needs met and are way less likely to turn to crime. Instead they grow up and become working, taxpaying citizens themselves. That's a great investment for that country, and it's capitalism.

I hope you will all join me in denouncing socialism and upholding the values of capitalism. The choice is clear.

But now suppose you have a country, could be the same one, could be a different one, and that country taxes its citizens and uses some of the tax revenue to pay for public schools and teachers for children at those schools. Then they also use some tax revenue to pay for daycare for those children when they're not at school but their parents need to go to work.
Or get this, here's another example. Say you have a country that taxes its citizens,  then uses that money to finance military forces way larger than would be necessary to defend its own citizens, then uses those military forces in interventionist wars that often lead to an increase in human rights violations. And what's more, this country can't find the tax revenue to provide health care for all the the veterans of its wars. That's bad, and it's clearly socialism.

See, I'll give you an example. When a few people who have accumulated a lot of resources and own a company insist on paying employees less than a living wage when the profits from their company would easily allow it, that's socialism, and it's bad.

But when those employees decided to freely talk with each other, using their freedom of speech in a free market, and decide to form a union and insist on being paid a more fair share of a company's profits, that's capitalism, and it's good.
