“With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion." Steven Weinberg

Leopards, faces, something, something

Gorgeous!

Who is actually bankrolling the Nazi tattoo guy? His mama? Or outside ratfuckers who see an unqualified white guy who cosplays as the downtrodden Everyman they can mold into another Fetterman or Sinema?

As a newbie, she aligned with less savvy newbies (isn't half the "squad" gone?) but she seems to have figured out what's what.

Now if she could just cut Bernie loose, I'd be a *huge* fan. Alas.

That person is just a straight up Dem basher. As well as being functionally illiterate in the ways Congress actually works, the majority of their posts go out their way to blame Dems for GOP malfeasance.

AOC is pretty smart. She doesn't step on rakes.

Ezra Klein's entire "abundance" shtick is just reheated early 2000s vibes-based deregulatory corporatism

its primary function is to preempt good faith progressive reform as THE answer to authoritarianism

because the extraction class don't want corporate accountability or to pay taxes

I love this for them

AI tech companies stole all the original work. FAFO is what AI slop sellers deserve. Sucks that it will affect the economy but the irrational investment in it has propped up Trump's stupid policies til now.

Let it burn, baby!

I'll go further.

WHEN the AI bubble pops, we should not entertain a bailout of these corporations under any circumstances.

When the housing bubble popped, it affected the whole economy because housing/mortgages are necessary.

Nobody needs AI slop. No bailouts for the dipshits who bought and sold the beans and it turns out they weren't magical ones.

They need to work this into Pluribus, second season.

Assuming Carol makes it out of the hive mind. Please let Carol make it.

What do we call the third one? Deliberate? A pattern of personal choice?

She voted for him?

JFC the Access Hollywood mess came out in 2016. What part about that said he cared about consent and the laws around it?

The national embarrassment is people voting for Trump assuming he's anything other than what he has always shown himself to be.

And if this mess is propping up the whole system, we in danger.

This is the only aspect of her story that makes me rethink the narrative. She clearly had a thing for wealthy powerful older guys. Was this her daddy issues affecting her life path, or was she just a no-talent gold digger who worked her way up the food chain?

Inquiring minds, and all that.

I knew it wasn't gonna be RFK the lesser because the guy wasn't old enough.

Honestly, it sounds like she's slept her way thru all of DC and NY.

Do it! Let them all sue.

AI sits on a throne of (IP theft) lies. The entire business model is built on other people's (stolen) work; it deserves to fail.

Because she's pretty. That's it.

If she was plain, no one would know who she is. And her writing wouldn't have made her famous either.
