When she posts it's an automatic read. Usually leaves me depressed and demoralized, but essential reading regardless! We need voices like @carolecadwalla.bsky.social more than ever!

I am impressed with @evanmglass.bsky.social but I don't like this. We don't need a "study" that includes industry to tell us that MoCo doesn't need data centers!

Not sure why I thought this was a good time to read this. It's amazing, and after reading his most recent book I knew it would be, but SO scarily spot on and relevant it's insane!

I hate him and hate posting anything with his picture in it. I also hate AI. But it's Sunday and this has been another terrible week so a little humor can't hurt. If you know you know!

I could post this every day and it would still be relevant sadly.

And this is about the TITLE not shameless self-promotion!

So @theatlantic.com made up for horrific RFK cover last month with powerful cover photo from J6 and then powerful essay on institutional knowledge lost since 1/20/25 in the fed govt and pages of interviews with fed workers fired or quit. Absolutely heartbreaking we've lost so much in just 1 year.

What did he do, hurt himself calling her a fucking bitch after shooting her in cold blood?

It would take FOUR Republican Senators to shut all of this madness down. FOUR. Everything could stop if FOUR individuals had the courage to step up and join Democrats in voting all of this madness down. It's hard to even fathom isn't it? FOUR!!

Honestly let her do it? We're a failing nation right now, the world needs to move on without us. The UK will be just fine aligning with the civilized world until we can restore sanity here. So come on UK, ban X, fuck Musk, call their bluff.
Republican bullies deploy more threats against the UK to protect their big tech corporate allies.

Terrible things are happening everywhere every day but our Gestapo is now openly murdering American citizens in broad daylight and our Nazi leadership is lying about it so openly and brazenly and I'm not sure how we ever recover from this...
Renee Nicole Good, 37, a U.S. citizen, mother, and community member in the Twin Cities, was fatally shot by an #ICE agent in #Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. She was not the target of any investigation and was remembered as a kind, loving person.

ICE agents are murderers. The President is a lying piece of shit as is anyone telling you otherwise from DHS or the news media.

How can ANYONE with an iota of conscience remain on Twitter?

Our mainstream/legacy media is failing us completely and totally in this crucial moment! Thanks for nothing folks!
January 6, 2026 at 3:00 AM
Gonna go out on a limb here and say that UMG is lying and that this WON'T be about artistic empowerment and "ethical" AI. How do these corp PR folks sleep at night?

We need to be treated by the rest of the world the way Russia was treated when they invaded Ukraine. Sanctions on everything, seize assets, don't travel here, remove us from the intl order, etc. Make us a pariah nation! And any country that comes here for World Cup and Olympics is an enabler.

In case anyone wants a rather refreshing look at what non-US state media is saying, since there doesn't seem to be a mainstream media in the US anymore!
Venezuela decries ‘cowardly kidnapping’ as officials back Maduro https://aje.io/0i1xix

Let's be honest though, we're already IN the world Lula is talking about. Still good to hear at least ONE world leader not settle for mealy-mouthed platitudes!
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva says the US crossed an 'unacceptable line' following attacks on Venezuela and the capture of its president, Nicolas Maduro.

My top choices would be Canada and Ireland, but honestly not sure we can be picky at this point!!
If we can capture another country's president, can another country come and capture ours? Asking for a friend.

1. This takes Jack Smith's testimony out of the news.
2. They still haven't released the Epstein files.
3. Everyone watch the 1997 movie 'Wag the Dog.'
4. Obviously this is illegal under intl law.
5. Military members you just took part in an illegal operation, you're now war criminals. Congrats.

I know people need to work and I can't judge anyone for not quitting, but really, can anyone with any self-respect or a conscience work for @cbsnews.com anymore? This is pathetic and embarrassing. Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather's legacy is in tatters...
What is this nonsense?

Oh yeah, insane, pro-Trump, pro-Netanyahu billionaires taking over CBS News.

First of what will be many things I see this year that affirm:

1. AI is a disease.
2. Elon Musk is a repulsive human being.
3. Both he and it need to be stopped!
Elon Musk's Grok AI alters images of women to digitally remove their clothes
The BBC has seen several examples of it undressing women and putting them in sexual situations without their consent.
