The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes.

The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds.

This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

Life is indeed grand at Batesville, where the basketball team honors the special needs campers of "Garrett's Gang" by filling their bucket one night a year. That night was Saturday. Story is emotional. Video is a hoot.

Fact-checking wasn’t “biased” against conservatives. Conservatives just shared more false content. If there’s a sportsball game and one team fouls four times as much, it’s not “biased” for the ref to call four times as many fouls against that team.

Meta is dropping fact-checking to avoid anti-conservative bias- but is there actually evidence of bias?
We this test empirically & find that conservatives

IF YOU BELIEVE THE MANY SHOULD HAVE CONTROL OVER THE FEW, this is your time.
As a decentralized platform, @bsky.app is probably the last, best chance for this to happen

This has nothing to do with me. I'm just stating the obvious.

It has everything to do with what the 1.2m @bsky.app users do.
