The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Wonderful night to watch stars. There are these new gadgets, Seestar astrophoto systems, that give amateurs a power tool to study the heavens.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

The Netflix megahit "Adolescence" is an incredible show about the online radicalization of kids—but it also missed something crucially important
Here's the key missing piece to the megahit show "Adolescence"

Trump betrayed Ukraine, secretly colluded with Russians against Europe, and has a secret line with the Kremlin outside of official overview, hidden from everyone including US spy / national security agencies. These are the reddest of flags. A spy sits at the White House.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.

Speaking of illegal orders, the Comey and James cases have been tossed because the DOG illegally appointed Halligan. And is probably why the Pentagon now claims to be opening an investigation into Senator Kelly — to use an abuse of power in the military court system.

Fascism: Extreme and authoritarian nationalism, totalitarian state control over society and the economy, suppression of political opposition, and the glorification of a supreme leader. It promotes a hierarchical and often militarized view of society, rejecting liberal democracy.

Social democracy: within a democratic and capitalist system, it seeks to moderate economic and social inequalities through state intervention. It prioritizes the welfare state, labor protections, and wealth redistribution through progressive taxation, without abolishing private property.
