Another huge issue, and I don't think people even know this is a thing, is that just about everything is done with smart phones now. And many (most?) seniors literally cannot work their phones. Signing things, texting, dealing with spam and fraud or even using the basic functions? They're often lost

No one will save us. Not one grown up left in the government, the courts or the media. It’s complete capitulation, all the way up. They’re all in on the corruption. It’s up to us.

'3.5-4' heh-heh

If the Supreme Court makes you mad keep in mind that within the last week Democratic senators have been voting for GOP judges to get on the federal bench

DOUBLE FEATURE: The Parallax View (1974) One Battle After Another (2025)

Call me crazy, but maybe society shouldn't continually reward the least scrupled amongst us with money, power and influence simply because they're unafraid to be terrible.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS. The coup was over in hours because people said no.

C'mon Trump, pardon Bob Menendez. He was treated very unfairly. Except by the Egyptians. They treated him very well.

Hakeem Jeffries will never lead the Dems where they need to go in order to help the people. He will choose restoration over reform because he has been groomed by the Establishment. I wish people could finally accept this.

These autonomous self-driving taxi serices. They're all going to cost HALF what a regular taxis does, right? I mean, forget about the electricity vs. gas savings. They don't have to PAY a driver. So. What? $1.50 from here to center city. RIGHT??

Log on to Bluesky each day to see what new childhood god has died.

To 'AI First' Companies. Remember, there are no AI generated customers. People invest in people.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there. Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

Access to the internet is essential, not a luxury. It's crucial for jobs, education, healthcare, and housing. The absence of affordable broadband in many communities is not just a "tech gap," but a critical civil rights matter. #DigitalDivide #CivilRights #TruthBombTuesday

Brazil’s former Dictator Bolsonaro will begin serving his 27 year prison sentence for plotting a coup in his country. If only Merrick Garland had gotten the job done when we had the chance and sent the orange felon and his insurrectionists to jail where they belong. Scumbag.

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence. All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

Look all I can think about when I hear the notion that the President got an MRI for poorly defined reasons is how incredibly hard it is for your average normie to get one for a clear, unambiguously important reason

me: omg goth bath bombs santa: that’s charcoal

Wouldn't it be great if the majority of Americans and the Pentagon realized that our constitutional democracy is worth fighting for?

People say they want to manufacture real things in America again BUT they complain that it’s “inappropriate” and “not productive” to talk about how we need lots of guillotines. Like make up your minds!

Until we get a show called "Pluribus" where a vast majority of stolid, happy people working together to build commonwealth are repeatedly thwarted by a tiny, hive-minded group of asshole individualists in the name of "freedom", we'll all be doomed as a species.

Tech oligarchs have been scrambling for products to retain dominance since the plateau of the home computer and mobile phone. Today, they're forcing 'AI' garbage on us while pushing for mass surveillance and war products, even if they have to make the wars to service them. We can reject this future.

Just think it’s a bit weird that society has been brainwashed in to thinking that rich people and massive corporations having a bit less money is the main thing we need to avoid no matter what.

“I say we take off and nuke the White House from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”

City Hall in Philly has a carousel you can see in the center of the courtyard

People need to get over the myth that ICE are all white guys. Use your eyes. Fascism comes in all genders and colors and right now they have all been empowered to destroy families, steal kids and beat the elderly. ICE is anyone who is willing to be a slaver for the government.

Scorsese can make a hundred pictures glamorizing the gang violence of organized criminals and be universally feted. PTA gives us one picture where a cadre chose /political/ violence for redress, and critics, influencers and personalities wring their hands about suitability. Art reveals many things.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

i think we have to get off the defensive on immigration it's not just necessary, it's good! - & the easier it is, the greater its benefits

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

You were already too lazy to write the songs and now you're too lazy to even think of prompts to have the plagiarism machine write for you? These people are the saddest joke I've ever heard. We truly are doomed.

I agree with the pope.

This is your gentle reminder that Russia committed multiple acts of war and terrorism on election day and hardly anyone bothered to talk about it.

Amen!

The reason I talk so much about Democrats in rural America is because it’s key to taking the country back. We can’t wring many more blue votes out of the cities. Come back to rural spaces. Run for office. Contest every race. This is the way.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Just realized that if the tech freaks ever did figure out AGI (they won’t, LLMs are fake) but forced it to do ad reads that’s like a C- Harlan Ellison short story called like God Shouted “Coca Cola!”

Bolsonaro behind bars is a reminder: democracies survive when they stop letting criminals play government.

Brasil's top court to Bolsonaro... GO TO JAIL NOW. Start that 27 years son, we don't care if you were hallucinating! WOW. Look at what a functioning democracy can do. SIGH. Meanwhile, our supreme court just upholds everything the 38 count felon wants.

Until we get a show called "Pluribus" where a vast majority of stolid, happy, people working together to build commonwealth are repeatedly thwarted by a small, hive-minded group of asshole individualists in the name of "freedom", we'll all be doomed as a species.

The House passed a resolution condemning socialism. Okay. When are they going to pass a resolution condemning fascism?

Until we get a show called "Pluribus" where a vast majority of stolid, happy, people working together to build commonwealth are repeatedly thwarted by a small, hive-minded group of asshole individualists in the name of "freedom", we'll all be doomed as a species.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

"US senator disappointed in Canada no longer treating them like a friendly neighbor" My dude your country is the neighbor which keeps getting back with their abusive ex who just threatened to beat us up Get your shit together and we can talk
