Ozzy seemed indestructible even with declining health. His passing so soon after the big Black Sabbath show event was shocking but showed his determination to go out on top.

Also…”Ay Dios Mío”. Ferrecito FTW!!!

We have countless movies, tv series, books, etc…contemplating what it would be like to live in that type of autocratic/tech world.

What’s the answer then? We will have more layoffs and ‘unemployables’.
What will our society look like in 5 years with thousands or even millions without work.

Mamdani is right: Democrats abandoned working class Americans. His success is due to recognizing this and refocusing on that.

It’s unfortunate this is the best Dems had as a pushback to what Reps have been doing for several election cycles already.
Still, I voted for it. 🤷♂️

While I will vote Yes, I’m disappointed that this is the best one Dem politician can come up with.
Reps have been gerrymandering for several election cycles already. This comes so late.

On a separate note, I am disappointed that Dems have not been able to counter this anti-democratic movement. It’s not new and Dems are still caught flat footed.

Could we talk about how a growing number of Americans don’t care about democracy and want a Trump and Republican autocracy?
At some level this experiment has failed a large portion of this country.

Back in the 90’s in my Psych undergrad I learned that men tend to have less friends as they grow older. Is that still the case?
I also wonder about how that correlates with men becoming more conservative as they age. 🤔

How do we pushback or even think of soft secession when we have a very weak Democratic Party? That’s our only other choice and it’s not a good one.

We have to admit to ourselves that as Americans we have become academically lazy.
It seems like there’s an ever growing population that are barely out of high school.
How do we instill the love of knowledge in our kids?

How do we bridge the ever widening gap of basic scientific knowledge in the US? As a supposedly “first world country” we seem to be quite behind.

I appreciate the comment one of the guests had about an olive branch but I feel like Biden and Dems did that to some extent and look at where we are now anyway.

There should be a psychologist as part of this discussion. We seem to be a very anti-social society yet we are social beings and prefer to find comfort with AI vs another human?
