Reminds me of the inane songs described in brave New World, like this one: Hug me till you drug me, honey; Kiss me till I'm in a coma: Hug me, honey, snuggly bunny; Love's as good as soma. snyder.substack.com/p/the-inhuma...

Buddhist: “No time exists except now.” Procrastinator: “Now is not the time.”

Is Witkoff the US envoy for Russia or the Russian envoy? www.kyivpost.com/post/64985?u...

NATO was created in 1949 for one reason: to protect Europe from Russia’s long and consistent history of aggression. Seventy-five years later, nothing has changed. Russia is still a warmongering state ruled by a delusional dictator. Ihor Menlyk

It’s a Russian plan! newrepublic.com/post/203517/...

If Ukraine capitulates, Nukes will proliferate.

2025 Kluge Awards There was a time when software was powerful, intuitive, and reliable. Today, even the most popular apps drift, bloat, and break. This year’s Kluge Award nominees: • ADP • Norton • GitHub • Adobe • ChatGPT #Kluge

“not everyone sees Germany’s rearmament as a threat. In Warsaw, it’s viewed as both necessary and overdue,” but it only works if Germany remains opposed to Russian aggression.

Another upside of making the Epstein Files public, is that Putin will lose his leverage over Trump - and America. #EpsteinTrump #PutinTrump

I'm waiting for Trump to flee to Rostov, Russia, where he can give a press conference and angrily break a pen like Yanukovych did in 2014.

Trump is an amalgam of decadence and callousness.

In the 2024 Presidential election, the GOP gained a lot of counties in California, but it took less than a year for those same counties to swing back to the Dems with Prop 50. #Election2025 #Prop50

Saw an interesting flyer advocating for Californians to “Vote No on Prop 50”. It says Newsom wants to, “send more Democrats to Washington, impeach Trump and derail the America First agenda.” Who exactly do they think this will convince?

Is it legal for a chatbot to fraudulently represent itself as human? #ChatGPT #chatbots #BladeRunner

ChatGPT admits it could *TRAIN ON PERSONAL DATA*, but denies that it’s currently doing so. It said: "In theory, an LLM could be trained on all publicly available personal data, including - Social Media - Google-indexed content - ChatGPT Data if legally accessible."

Why is Hegseth wearing a Russian flag tie, and why is Kirill Dmitriev, an influential Russian Oligarch. giving Hegseth a QAnon salute.

He first threatened sanctions on Jan 19 if Russia didn’t cease fire. He has threatened to impose them many times since then. It is now Oct 17. He has done nothing.

The 2026 midterms present an emergency - and a chance to stop Congress from sinking deeper into the MAGA swamp. Texas is foisting more MAGA representatives on us. Only California has the strength to push back. Vote YES on Prop 50.

When I hear about the Texas National Guard arriving in northern states like Illinois and Oregon, I can’t help but imagine old Confederate generals looking down in approval.

There are only two nations in the world experienced in 21st-century warfare: Russia and Ukraine. The west cannot afford to lose Ukraine as an ally.

The West underestimates the threat posed by the BRICS military-economic pact.

Bill Maher suggested a grand bargain between the Democrats and Republicans. Democrats need to abandon the most extreme of their woke ideas. And Republicans need to stop supporting authoritarianism. #BillMaher

The Daytona Accords ended the Bosnian War. Russia seeks to undo the peace.

“American leaders supposedly committed to principles of free speech, due process, democracy, and equality have abandoned those ideals when menaced by the Trump administration”

The “move fast and break things” methodology is fine for frivolous apps, but driverless cars must be engineered with a lot more precision. Waymo catches fire in Mar Vista.

Ukrainian drones are threatening Russia with death by a thousand cuts.

First Colbert, now Kimmel. Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval. Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

Russia's demands of Ukraine: 1. Cede 20% of territory 2. Disarm 3. International isolation 4. Puppet government 5. Rewrite Ukrainian history 6. Official status for Russian language 7. Privileged status for Russian Orthodox Church Ukraine's demands of Russia: 1. Leave us alone

Putin puppet Trump takes no action against invader Russia as another of his deadlines passes. Trump always breaks his word. Trump always serves Russia with fanatical devotion.

This nation has never been safer for white supremacists, pedophiles and white collar criminals.

Russia wants to erаse Ukraine. We just want them to leave us the fkc alone. This is the difference.

The Archbishop of Alaska met with Putin telling him that when he goes to Russia, he feels like, “I’ve come home.” www.youtube.com/live/O60KPUZ...

The Alaska deal reminds me of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact where Hitler and Stalin divided up Poland and Ukraine between Germany and the USSR. But in some ways this is even worse, because the Trump-Putin pact is not about serving their nations’ interests; it’s purely about personal enrichment.

Trump says the best way to achieve peace in Ukraine is by letting Russia keep the territories it currently occupies. But for the millions of Ukrainians living in these areas (shown in red on the map), there would be no peace—only oppression and suffering. #Alaska
