'Here, buy our stuff you only need because of our fuckup' is quite a sales pitch. I hope Ukraine eats their lunch.

And lo, after losing an actor and for other kinds of development hell, Spock rose again, and double-dumbass on you.

EPSTEIN FILES NOW

I mean ...

To the world, especially our victims: First, I'm sorry. For most US-ians, the idea that: USA < 🌏 = 😱. We need a modern dem. fed. republic with robust const. protections and soc. dem. '4 frdms'-style security. Most now know it's deeper than Trump. Global boycotts have spawned for less. (s. afr.)

On today's edition of 'Questions I never thought I would ask,' what if the Saturday Night Massacre had gotten down to the custodians?

The most crooked AG in history got fired today. Not because she was crooked. Because she wasn’t good enough at it.

Apple has issued an emergency recall for the new Neo laptop after discovering a critical design flaw: it’s repairable. Internal testing revealed the device contains replaceable parts and a battery that comes out without adhesive. Unacceptable for their standards.

What God hasn't trafficked in scapegoats, tho?

you don’t have to know much world history to look at this map and immediately see why the entire western hemisphere has birthright citizenship

Sen Ed Markey: "Let's get one thing straight. Trump just spent twenty minutes lying to the American people, threatening to commit war crimes on civilian infrastructure, and pretending you should be grateful that his reckless, illegal war has cost lives abroad and your money at home. Unhinged."

Successful countries pay attention to other countries' policy initiatives.

I love teasing the bipedal companionship unit. 😁❌🌏

The anti-abortion right are dangerous extremists who cannot be reasoned with.

Cartoonists have more spine than "journalists" Wonder how much they'll make off tonight? #SheShed

Hold up. Coulter is NOT a 2020 Truther??? It's impossible to keep track of all these seemingly identical media grifters. Somebody should make flash cards.

Republicans are pathetic fucking clowns. 🤡

She owed her health insurance company 5 cents — so they canceled her coverage #AlterNet

Not political. Microtonal math-rock duo from Quebec. The fresh glow of new love.

IN BOOK MODE: Sorry for lack of new posts. Fingers are slow and clumsy. More info to come.

Now, THIS is how you smack down reactionary media.

For those of you from the saner states, when the GOP lose the giant retirement community called 'The Villages,' they lose. FL has 28 Congressional seats and 30 electoral votes, so losing party support here is a BFD, nationally.

Worth a try.

This is not typically what an ascendant political movement looks like. This would be a great time for the left to be a serious movement with the technocratic ability to govern.

This is why public policy matters.

Since Israel wanted this war, let them lose their boys and girls before we lose ours. Same with all of the countries in the Middle East that want the US to continue this war.

At this point it seems unambiguous that the best (most eff., most cost eff., fastest to achieve goals, etc.) way to preserve internal security; manage and mitigate business cycles; reduce property crime; improve political culture; encourage mass scholarship, art, and media production;

As if that old fraud hadn't done enough damage. David Hume reduced his cadaver to a fine powder centuries ago. Theory of Form and Parable of Cave are TEXTBOOK cult/gritfter sales chatter.

Oh, no reason ...

The Saudis want us to win their cold war with Iran. SA military is legendarily bad. Typical dictator shit.

The New America Initiative 1) Anti-trust. Khan^2. 2) State bank, in co-ord with Fed, to create wealth (job of banks) to finance purchase of non-compliant companies at 'fair' value as carrot and eminent domain as stick

Our instincts and inherited folk cultures are all lies, and lies poison the brain. Such effects are amplified at scale through social incentives. Time for the monkey children to grow up or die.

Once again, Americans demonstrate their superiority to foreigners.

I may well be alive b/c of it. frustrating, incremental, hesitant reform has done a lot. not enough, but a lot. We need a more effective ideological and philosophical effort to seize the GOP failure as an opportunity to push pre-tax-and-transfer reforms to cement worker rights and power.

Trump’s political merit lies in his populist style. He can’t help but be populist because he doesn’t understand any other style of politics. Conventional politics annoys him.

How Palantir, not Anthropic, led US bombs to kill 175 civilians, mostly 7-12yo girls, in a school in Minab, Iran on Feb 28. How embedding automation - not LLMs in this case, just image processing and sensor fusion - in military workflows mutes human judgment, causes errors, & diverts accountability.

As I was saying, par for the course.

Frankly, I'm a little surprised they didn't do that with Obamacare.

If Robert Mueller “totally exonerated” Donald Trump like he claimed, then why is Donald celebrating his death? Riddle me that, MAGA. 🙄

BREAKING: Starbucks is closing stores (non-union & union) in Seattle. They told the public they would look to transfer impacted baristas to other stores... but they’re doing the exact opposite. Now, workers across Seattle are walking out on ULP strike in solidarity! Do the right thing, Starbucks!
