But, just let me say the same thing about taxes, and everyone in Silicon Valley loses their fucking minds. You know what, Sam? Fuck you, that's what. And MOST ESPECIALLY, no bailouts ever, at any time, for any entity touching this space.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Torre jokes that the motto of PTFO is that it aims to "take stupid things seriously," but that sort of under-the-hood investigative reporting can be applied to any field.

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

We tried the ownership society where everyone is a little capitalist because they own their home, and that will provide their nest egg. It’s led to record homelessness and profound dissatisfaction with life in the US.

Today marks 50 years of the Hyde Amendment.   It prevents federal funds from being used for abortions, which really just means folks on programs like Medicaid can't access the same care as everyone else.   That's why I'm a cosponsor of the EACH Act to end Hyde once and for all.

I don't find the Schmitt Senate fiasco remotely funny. It's just McCarthyism but more incompetent. It's appalling, & a constitutional order that can't end this level of unserious lying & extremist nonsense isn't worth saving. We need massive institutional reform to make sure it never happens again.

A friend of mine was raped by football players at one of our college’s frat house in 1998. She went through the internal system, which exonerated the men and accused and blamed her. We wanted her to bring charges and a court case… but she was so broken by then. She dropped out. Burn it all down.
