Ukrainian soldiers marked Sviat Vechir together with their brothers and sister- in-arms.

Because they are there — holding the line — millions can celebrate Christmas in peace at home. Thank you to the Armed Forces of Ukraine for protecting our holiday, our homes, and our future.

This is a real issue for any industry that uses drones and isn't our government.

Search and Rescue
Entertainment
Research
So much more

Once again, consolidation of power into their hands.

I have an earworm that just won't fade away. I'm currently a slave to it playing on auto. Maybe if I share it, it will leave my head an enter yours.

If zygotes had brains (they don't), not one of them would want to live in 2025 America.

They want to shift your attention with the DC shooting, from these topics:

- Epstein files coverup
- White House secretly colluding with Russians
- Kushner and Witkoff likely committed espionage
- failing economy
- failed soy trade deal with China
- Trump health down hill
- Hegseth murders

Getting publicly traded companies out of healthcare and education is why I used to vote a progressive ticket.

Now I vote blue to save democracy.

I'm not a bit naive concerning the anticipated behavior of selfish authoritarian assholes, but it feels as if the tide has turned just a little. The courts at the federal level or still holding a year into this. That feels like hope to me.

If the Internet was taken down by - I don't know - aliens from their bases on the far side of the moon - or whatever, where would you get your information from?

I don't want tech bros to treat me like one of the virtual people in city builder games. They have to do what they're told. Always.

Say bye-bye to any semblance of free will when the Unwoke take power.

For people who claim to love the US Constitution unconditionally, you folks who hate Muslims don't seem to know it very well.

I post monthly about the jobs report and inflation…but since we haven’t had an actual report in months, I’m going to talk about how in the moonlit night of Halloween the Fed Reserve injected about $29 billion of liquidity into the banking system — the largest overnight operation since the pandemic.🧵

What team lead hasn't had that nightmare when somebody who they worked with on the project didn't trap for a possible NullPointerException? And in failing that brought down the entire application in production. Oh, and went on vacation the day the app went live leaving the lead to take the heat.

I know! Let's decimate the Middle Class by replacing most of their jobs with machine "intelligence".

Who voted for that shit? Almost nobody!

Who didn't realize this before 2016?

America's hate fest traces right back to mainstream Christian churches. She describes it perfectly.
I’m telling you, it all boils down to race. They didn’t hate Obama because he was a Democrat; that was just the excuse so they wouldn’t have to admit they were racist.

And for the record, Obama was never anti-Christian— he is a Christian.

Shouldn't there just be one question at every Trump admin news conference?

Why are you lying?

When people are not getting their life needs met (food/safety/shelter) a small but growing percentage of them will become radicalized.
