Billionaires will cash out of the stock market before it collapses.

The modest percentage of the population that has money in the market in the form of a 401K or IRA is penalized for early withdrawls and won't be able to cash out before it crashes.

It's designed that way on purpose.

This is some very good reporting about the Goyim Defense League (GDL) and how they are targeting kids online for recruitment. GDL hasn't gotten a lot of mainstream coverage like Fuentes and his Groyper buddies have but GDL is worse in basically every way. Thanks for this great reporting, Phil!

Segregation is not a one-time thing that happened in the past. It's a thing that requires active effort to maintain.

Any neighborhood that you see with no Black people in it, is not because of a historical problem. It's because things are happening *today* that stop Black people from moving there.

Oh yeah btw the reason why Vine is being relaunched with great fanfare and no Al is because it's jointly operated with an Al company and they probably don;t want to pollute their scrap pile with stuff they've already shat out.

Our neighbors in the Duwamish Valley have 13 years cut off of their life expectancy already thanks to living in the most polluted neighborhood in Seattle. It’s appalling that an agency would even consider this.
The Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition is organizing a protest this Friday at the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency Headquarters. which is considering allowing unlimited tire burning in the Duwamish Valley. Read more: www.drcc.org/clean-air-pr...

"No one is angry about games not containing gen AI" is such a hell of a good point. It is incredibly off-putting to many customers, an absolute deal-breaker, yet there is no flip side to that, no consumer base clamouring for it, no demand. They can only try to wear people down into accepting it.
I saw this and had two thoughts,
No one is angry about games not containing gen AI, so if you wanna avoid being a part of the conversation it's easy.
But, since you have decided to weigh in on the conversation I guess we'll see gen AI made cosmetics in helldivers soon then

It's always weird to me how there are like these completely different subsets of critically important factual information that most white folk in the US just don't know. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Because these white folk don't know any Black folk, and don't ask any questions.
Way back when, mayor Pete's reform-minded chief of police, Daryl Boykins, recorded some of his officers making vile racist statements. So Buttigieg fired... the police chief.🤡

Boykins was the 1st Black police chief in city history, and was building trust with Black folk.

But it gets worse...

the suspension of Palestinians, the suspension of people celebrating Charlie Kirk's death are all PSA's meant to keep us "behaving". It's a castrated version of Twitter, meant to keep an eye on us and to collect our data, but without giving us the ability to reach people & organize

In the meantime, he got the professional networking opportunity, and I didn’t. And Lawrence Krauss gets to write nasty things about me in the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times gets to write about me like I’m a crazy queer bitch who hates men.

it's frustrating because autistic people aren't actually worse at communication in general. autist-autist communication is just as effective as allist-allist (if not more so!) and alistics do just as poorly communicating with autistics as autistics do with them journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

People getting mad here about anyone saying it's good that MTG and Trump are fighting. I teach democratization every semester. The first slide says 'elite fracture.' That's always where it starts. It's good when people with bad politics are fighting one another.

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.
