Why are Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai and Tim Cook visiting and giving money to Trump ?

Because they are in “The Race “ to become the dominant platform in the world.

Amazon/Anthropic vs FB/LLama vs Google/Gemini vs Twitter/Grok, vs IPhones/ChatGpt is the penultimate global power war ever.

Health care should be free when you need it. No copays, no bills, no costs. Everyone deserves care, not a bill.

The day America decided to ignore Jared Kushner's $2 billion from the Saudis, and put an insurrection-inciting convicted felon back in the White House, is the day I stopped giving a shit about any "moral high ground."

I hope President Biden takes his "presidential immunity" out for a fucking spin.

For me, the thing that knocked the wind out of me with this election is that I dared to believe America would get it right THIS time, that America was ready for a Woman President.

It hurt having that blind faith in neighbors, friends, and strangers smacked out of me.

Dammit, America. 😞

In another major fuck you to Elon Musk, I'd love it if Bluesky took ALL of the good ideas from there, and implemented them here -- bookmarking posts and edit button, longer videos, something similar to Spaces.

All the good shit.
None of the toxicity.

Drop your ideas, too.
Please and thank you. 🙏💙
