What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

It takes strength to look the person who could fire you in the eye and tell them that both they and their boss are giant pieces of trash. You usually don't win, but you definitely leave a mark, and you write your place in history. That's what Scott Pelley did today.

Like astrology, you're mostly guessing what other people will or want to see. But Keynes put it best: www.goodreads.com/quotes/71799...

Everybody thinks when he's rich he'll be a different kind of rich person from the rich people he sees around him; later on he finds out there's only one kind of rich person, and he's it. —Thornton Wilder, The Matchmaker

The Vanishing (Sluizer, 1988)

Insane framing. It is not "blood libel" to write about the numerous NGO reports alleging sexual abuse of Palestinians in Israeli prisons.

Hey, anyone who needs a graduation speaker when some smooth brained AI evangelist cancels because they don’t wanna get booed, hire me to come talk to the Youth and I will just yell some version of this, then we can all go out for pizza #fuckai www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

Does he not realize poetry hasn't been expected to rhyme in 100 years, or is this a knock on contemporary poetry?

One badass Taurus after another.

Mike Johnson thinks $174,000 isn’t enough to survive without insider trading. But $15/hour is too much to ask for everyone else. Every single day, these goons prove how disconnected they are from everyday Americans.

Javier Bardem says Nakba ‘never ended,’ calls Gaza ‘genocide’ in UN message

Good news: America's over

Im astounded every year how it's just one Taurus badass after another.

"Accumulation of wealth at one pole is, therefore, at the same time accumulation of misery, agony of toil, slavery, ignorance, brutality, and mental degradation at the opposite pole." - Karl Marx "Das Kapital"

Happy birthday, Karl Marx!

Happy Eve Arden's birthday!

One more! Socialist Taurus is where it's at!

Guess who else I share a birthday with!

We had faces!

He's like writing the lines his character would say if included in Sondheim's "Assassins" imo.

I tell ya, I haven’t been this disappointed in a dinner since the week my wife tried cooking

Alarming/comforting to know they got things insanely wrong in the past too.

Giving the people what they want

To mercy, pity, peace, and love All pray in their distress, And to these virtues of delight, Return their thankfulness. . . . . . . For Mercy has a human heart, Pity a human face; And Love, the human form divine; And Peace, the human dress. BLAKE: Songs of Innocence

Seeing Jesus and thinking he's your doctor is real "into the light" territory.

Transparent carnival barking. It's like a b-movie maven in 1953 advertising his zombie flick as "TOO DANGEROUS FOR THE WEAK-HEARTED TO SEE! NO ONE ADMITTED WITHOUT PHYSICIAN'S APPROVAL!" bsky.app/profile/nyti...

Paula White compares Trump to Jesus during event with faith leaders: "You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It's a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us. Because of His resurrection, you rose up."

When the commonplace “We must all die” transforms itself suddenly into the acute consciousness “I must die—and soon,” then death grapples us, & his fingers are cruel; afterwards, he may come to fold us in his arms as our mother did, & our last moment of dim earthly discerning may be like the first.

Alito so incensed by ACB/Kavanaugh/Gorsuch rejecting his Fox News arguments that he doesn't retire, then KBJ gets him to stroke out in 2029, would put our country one step closer to normal.

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

"Over the last few years, American tech oligarchs have become the greatest argument against their own existence. The sheer scale of their erratic behavior and political interference proves that extreme wealth concentration is a structural threat to society." -Joni Askola

It’s everyone’s responsibility to make these lizards lives miserable. They must not be allowed the joy’s of a world and a culture they are trying to destroy. And kinda fuck the celebs chatting him up. It’s no different than paling around with members of the third reich. Are you a human or a lizard?

Man look at this photo of Toshiro Mifune this is out of control

Great! Now the ayatollah's gonna look like a badass!

We are 10 days into an illegal war costing us $900M a day which has led to the deaths of 7 U.S troops & 1200 Iranians including hundreds of children. Everything here is far more expensive & we are far less safe. And all of it, all of it… is because Israel told us to.
