Protesters: are you paying attention? Break up the bigger protests into a large number of smaller protests to make things difficult for the Stasi, I mean the SS, I mean the pigs, I… you know what I mean.

"the image also features Trump holding a red lightsaber, a color associated with the Sith, the villainous sect known for its tyrannical rule of the Star Wars galaxy. The Jedi commonly use blue or green lightsabers."

@ai6yr this will fail in one of the typical musk ways. like the sewers flooding houses, neuralink zombie rats invading or somesuch. rapid unscheduled disassembly euphemism, but for living.

in less than 200 years we've gone from being a flightless species to routinely flying. We can see and talk with each other in real time while thousands of miles away.

All kinds of physical technologies have advanced to stunning levels.

Yet psychologically? we're stunted AF to allow this stupid group of utter sociopaths make the planet uninhabitable.

Imagine being smart enough to go into space, but too stunted to live in harmony with the world, instead of trying to dominate over it.

Schumer had to vote for the CR because he didn’t get his message out beforehand. That needs to change.

If you think this is too critical I ask you: where are the ads slamming Trump now? How many do you see on YouTube? On Hulu?

Everyone is waiting for Trump to self-sabotage and for the tariffs to have an effect.

That is a bad strategy! We should be running a full court press now, just as Republicans did on the economy four years ago: they put stickers on gas pumps even.

I mean, Dave Brubeck fans are also nerds, so be nice and share. https://m29.us/@ryan/114449999446143870

1) A twice divorced, currently married, non-Catholic can’t be Pope
2) America did not “win” WWI
3) November 11 is not a day of celebration.
4) And we’re still not the 51st State
But none of this hateful deluded offensive nonsense actually matters. It’s all distraction. A firehose of filth in a funhouse, desensitizing us all through outrage overload.

And I was feeling bad because I wasn't able to recycle so much last week... "World’s Top 111 Corporations Have Caused $28T in Climate Damages, Study Finds" https://truthout.org/articles/worlds-top-111-corporations-have-caused-28t-in-climate-damages-study-finds/

There’s an awful article in The Washington Post today about how young men see the Tate Brothers as role models who have ‘easy answers’.

I’m not linking to it because I don’t want to give it any traffic.

The tone of the piece is about how hard men have it right now. How they get mixed messages and don’t know whether they should be ‘alpha’ or not.

Let me be perfectly clear, they don’t have it hard. This is accountability. That’s all. Men are finally being told they have to be responsible for their actions. That they can’t get away with misogyny, assault, rape and abuse. That we are fighting back.

If that’s ‘confusing’ for them, that’s their problem.

The Tate brothers don’t have the answers. They’re just propagating the same misogynistic and fascism adjacent narrative that many men have heard for years.

That Trump and Musk are only too happy to support.

That women are less than. That men can and should dominate us. That ‘being a man’ involves subjugating women.

It doesn’t. It shouldn’t. Call it out. Support women. Believe victims.

Say Gisele Pelicot’s name today. Let’s change the narrative.

Quote from a book I am reading

'Now led by Nigel Farage with Richard Tice for his deputy, Reform UK is the only UK registered Political Party as a 'for profit' corporation, with Farage as majority shareholder and sole director'

How easy it is to con the mass's and get them to vote for the Party that has their best interest at the bottom of, if even, on their agenda

Reform UK was registered as a private limited company on November 23, 2018.

For profit and guess where that will come from

I've long been saying that generative AI -- as a general proposition -- is essentially hype. I'm increasingly convinced that this is far too weak and imprecise a term. "Scam" seems much closer to the mark.
