It's child abuse and should be prosecuted as such.

Congrats to you both!

I hope it's a short flight.

It's not just money. People don't want phones with built-in AI and such. I'm going to keep my phone as long as possible, and then, when it dies, if I can't opt out of all this intrusive crap, I'll give up my smartphone altogether.

The senator is not stupid and not naive. He knew they would attack him, and he took them on anyway. This sort of bravery and self-sacrifice is uncommon. Americans must have his back.

When fascists no longer control them.

Everybody talks about the evils of the internet, AI, and social media, but TV - yeah, that old thing - is killing us.

Democrats used the tiny amount of power they have in the Senate to refuse to pass a bill to keep the government open because that bill had devastating consequences.

We can't even get Senate Democrats to stop funding this regime.

Many have run as Dems or served as Dems while opposing the party platform. The whole point of a party is to bring people together around shared goals, and many prominent Dems vote against bills consistent with the party platform & for bills that undermine party goals. You can't "message" that away.

My city has a light rail. It's literally slower than walking, even when pushing a baby stroller or walking with a toddler.

If you look at the data on adult numeracy skills, the US population is far below other wealthy countries. Being dumb is a tax.
