There may not be as much humanity in the world as one would like to see. But there is some. There's more than one would think.

Once your TLAC (Total lifetime accumulated capital) goes above 10 Million USD, you simply become a literal outlaw with a 1 MLN bounty. It doesn't matter if you've spent it, or if you lost it gambling. Your whole life revolves around staying BELOW that cap, or you choose to fight.
My most woke opinion is that it should be legal to kill billionaires
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Oh wow! This is what happens when you're photographing MSS & don't capture the text in the inner gutter. 1st, here's the photograph (made about 100 yrs ago) of the Codex Salernitanus, f. 82ra. Although that big tear of the page is obvious, the inner gutter hasn't been fully captured in the photo.

For real. The longer the bubble goes on the more of our assets get shoveled into the tech bro's incinerator, never to be retrieved, and the more investment DOESN'T go into sectors that will actually grow and be valuable.

"Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi insignia as 'potentially divisive' under its new guidelines.

When you go through the evidence laid out in our report, it’s clear that JPMC should face criminal investigation for the way it enabled Epstein’s horrific crimes. I'll keep following the money until we get justice and those that enabled his atrocities are held accountable.

So it's not just Trump and Bondi running interference for pedophiles. Bessent is a key part of the Epstein coverup. I plan to seek Senate approval of my bill to force the Treasury Department to release its Epstein file in the coming weeks because we need to keep on following the money.

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.

Previously, these belief systems tended to collapse under their own weight. Contradictions and memory gaps made them hard to sustain. Now the AI removes that friction, it produces timelines, summaries, and "forensic" explanations on demand.

For those who don’t remember, Google’s original 2004 motto was “Don’t be evil.” During the first Trump term in 2018, it removed its long-obsolete motto from the preface of its code of conduct.
NEW: Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, and tell local cops whether to contact ICE about the person, while also removing apps designed to warn communities about ICE officials.

“Google wanted to ‘not be evil’ back in the day. Well, they're evil now."

Go back and rewatch watchmen anyway, be ause the cops-in-masks theme is gonna make you go "oohhhhhh. …Shit."
If you look at the 2019 watchmen series and somehow don't see a fullthroated and SCATHING critique of not only the culture of policing in the US, but also of US TV's very deep and persistent Copaganda problem, then you need to go back and rewatch watchmen.

The connection of the original Watchmen to a conversation about the racist history of the United States, in general, but Policing, the "Lost Cause" myth, and mid-20th century American support for Fascism, in particular? Frankly fucking masterful.

Just one person straight up punching the real pig in the face. That would've changed everything in history.
Because no one did anything about it. Not one person there called him on it. He just got to be a misogynistic piece of shit and believe he was completely right to do so, in spite of everything that's blatantly and fundamentally wrong with it.

Kashoggi was a human being. Epstein survivors, people on boats, ICE detainees, the homeless, SNAP recipients, Covid victims, and countless others were or are human beings. Trump does not care who is murdered or suffers. Let's be clear, he delights in the suffering of others. He is pure evil.
