But, but it is so much easier to just assume everyone is bad and lazy and that we need more murder and mayhem to solve our problems.
I wonder how much effort all these cynics are putting into choosing a good candidate right now. or just waiting to complain some more.

All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.
Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:
Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

“He raped me.”
“Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”
“She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.”
Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

This is the worst case scenario that everybody was worried about
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

This is the issue we covered in BBC's AI Decoded. Efforts to influence chatbot results are growing, as former SEO marketers now use "generative engine optimization" (GEO) to boost visibility in AI-generated responses www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
Russia seeds chatbots with lies. Any bad actor could game AI the same way.
In their race to push out new versions with more capability, AI companies leave users vulnerable to “LLM grooming” efforts that promote bogus information.

Russia is quietly rewriting reality — but not through tanks or troops, but by feeding disinformation and propaganda into the tools people may increasingly trust to understand the world: AI chatbots. It's gaming of the system, feeding propaganda in ways that people might never know what’s happening.
