Real person. I'll check your profile & probably follow back if you don't follow a ridiculous # of accounts. Software developer. Novid. War is murder. No crypto. No AI slop. I love science, arts, health research, environmentalism, and commas.

This sounds reasonable but is 100% wrong. Whether you or agree or disagree with a study is completely immaterial. What matters is whether the study was conducted properly and generates valid results. And it's impolitic to say but it's true: you have to have some level of expertise to judge that.

Trump wakes up every morning and wonders "How can I make the world worse today?"
I mean this very literally. It's not an attack, it's exactly what happens because of his endless craving for attention.

Keep in mind that every action Trump has taken since he became president in 2017 has intentionality been laying the groundwork for using the Madman Strategy: "Don't call my bluff! I'm crazy enough to do it!!"

I'm thinking trump wants a bunker he can hide in that can't easily be stormed by the masses or even by leaders of a military coup.
Trump the sociopath will probably have it rigged up Putin-style -- capable of independently launching nukes, so he can use nuclear blackmail to hold on to power.

All these companies that are essentially writing Trump checks to sign favorable legislation or approve a merger... Are they not all committing a serious crime?

It's not even a war crime because there is no war.
What's happening in the Caribbean is that, a half dozen times now, Donald Trump has ordered an operation that requires every serviceman and woman involved to participate in committing premeditated murder.

Not sure how it's even possible to continue to support Trump when he's basically assembling a League of Super-Villains
I think at this point it’s fair to say that we’re no longer under the rule of law.

This is at least the THIRD time Trump made this idiotic claim. I suggest there's someone in the admin mining Orwell's "1984" for ideas.
"In the end the Party would announce that 2 and 2 made 5, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later."

They delivered their 8th album to the record label, who asked them to finally "try and write a hit". So they wrote a fantastic radio song.
The whole song and especially the vocals sound a LOT like Sly Stone but who cares.
