Donald Trump is stealing $1 billion from the Pentagon to renovate his private plane from Quatar. Why would he possibly want a private plane? I wonder. Maybe he misses his Epstein days so much he wants a re-enactment That’s what it sounds like to me

“Transformational” and “historic” is cherry-picking right from Leavitt’s desk How about “abrasive” and “dictatorial”?

Worst fears? Like what? That the American left values human life more than Netanyahu? That the American left doesn’t just give lip service to the need for human rights?

For those who don’t believe in God, but still want religion, consider a prayer to your lost loved ones. Praying to people is very different than praying to a God. You don’t ask for anything. Instead, it gives you a chance to apologize, to promise, to reflect, to feel gratitude for happy memories

As a technologist and an engineer, my instinct is to improve religion with rapid iteration like any other technology Of course “rapid” in religious terms could still mean years at a time. Still, we don’t need another millennium to build something better than what the previous millennia have built

The simple answer is that religion is a tool that can be used for good or evil. It augments the will of its users by manifesting their beliefs in a shared reality. The more complex and impactful question is, how do we create religion that unites and engenders empathy?

My goodness. Who cares?! This is the sort of non-policy, no impact news cycle that makes ppl tune out How can we argue that politics matters to the public when we present this non-substantive image of politics? Leave the he-said she-said battles in tabloids and blogs. Report the news

This just in — Biden’s still old, but now he’s also sick…but will still live another 5-10 years, which matches his prognosis for being old 🙄 It’s as if we’re concerned about not having made a big enough deal about his age a year ago Is there nothing else we could be talking about?

Yes, by design. They use shock and awe to get their way. And they back down and pivot when told no They depend on ppl obeying in advance and are discovering that the country has many more power centers than the White House So we can expect them to be cruel in new and unexpected ways until ppl obey

Exactly! China is taking advantage of the soft-power vacuum left by the US to improve its own brand around the world And it’s working! International surveys show that opinions of China are more favorable than of the US, a change that only occurred after tariffs www.newsweek.com/china-more-f...

China has overtaken the U.S. in net favorability and enjoys far more support across the globe, according to a new report.

NPR reports: “The dollar's already in decline. The percentage of reserve currencies held by central banks in dollars has been drifting lower and lower. It peaked at 73% in 2001. It is now 58%” The world has been subsidizing our way of life by purchasing our currency. It doesn’t have to be that way

No deal. The US was supposed to extract some sort of concession from China (whatever that would have been), but made all of that drama for nothing Shortages, inflation, lay-offs, and the loss of trust & respect around the world. Expensive wins are tolerable. Expensive losses are devastating

I get it, but NPR isn’t a fascist organization. They report the news Even when fascist lies are stated, they make extra sure to clarify what reality just in case anyone misunderstands. I mean, how many times did I listen to them state over and over that the 2020 election was in fact not stolen

Whatever you build won’t be enough. Either it won’t have legitimacy bc it doesn’t represent the whole country or it doesn’t pass your purity test Liberals can’t just continue forward while dragging the rest of the country along. Either split the country or learn to live with those who don’t agree
