Hey America, if you were a Christian nation, you’d be feeding the poor, not yelling at them for using food stamps.

JFC this CANNOT be allowed to happen! Look at what happened when the UK handed its water services over to for-profit companies!!!
"The new corporation could set water rates for municipal residents, as a privately owned, for-profit organization. Municipalities would have to transfer all their water and wastewater assets, staff, debt, contracts and infrastructure to the new body." 🤮

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.
But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

Great time for the U.S. to raid a battery plant construction site in Georgia and arrest 450 people, including executives of the company building the plant!

I used to read books like Lord of the Rings or watch movies like Star Wars and think the villains were unbelievable. And of course, now watching the tech oligarchs (who could not spend all their money if they tried) destroy civilization for power, I’m like, guess I was wrong. People are that awful.

I agree. But, people who do not have their basic needs met are easy to control and steal from. So we have what we have.

Dearest Martha,
The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover.

These glorified algorithms are not capable of "self reflection" (there is no 'self' there). They spit back information (and misinformation!) they've collected (often in violation of copyright). And that regurgitation can of course include information that these bots can suck.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

I’m tired of a muni gov who talks about balance and then doesn’t; a muni gov that earmarks hundreds of millions of dollars annually for roads and road widening while residents die bc of badly designed streets that “we don’t have the $ to fix;” these are choices. Choose better. Vote.
I for one am REALLY tired of right wing govts with ministers of transportation who very clearly have absolutely no idea how urban transportation works. Or how cities work. Or geometry/space. Or return-on-investment/fiscal responsibility/economic competitiveness. Or data/evidence. Or common sense…
I hope someone shares these stats with the new minister of transportation in Alberta who wants to rip up the bike lanes in Calgary.
