Descartes was wrong. More of this, please:
"The origin of consciousness is with feelings, not thoughts. Feelings are the language in which the body talks to the brain."

At stake in a Senate vote this week is an irreplaceable treasure—America’s most visited wilderness—and the thriving economy of northern Minnesota. We’ll lose both if the Senate votes to let a Chilean company to mine at the region’s edge. This is personal to my family. www.nrdc.org/stories/sena...

I’ll admit that I didn’t have “Hims and Hers” going full Luigi Mangione on my Super Bowl bingo card …

Also: I’ve always thought Hers and Him is creepy, but the Bernie Bro vibe of that ad was dope

That “get your handle now” AI ad made this whole room cringe…

I’d like to know how many lost pets are “found daily” with those analog posters on neighborhood poles. I’ll bet you it’s more than the corporate surveillance company’s “one.”

Wait, wut?! That little boy Bad Bunny gave his Grammy to was Liam Ramos?

Man, I would’ve loved to see Stephen Miller’s face while watching #BadBunny and that ballsy show of Latino Pride.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.
