Sinclair broadcast news drivel just ran a piece on the Jack Smith testimony that was an amazing fluff piece ignoring the absolute failing of the fiasco. It only implied Jack Smith was hauled in because of his behavior. Sinclair should be sued out of existence for lying 🐂💩🤬!

Elon deserves all the ridicule and condemnation he receives. His values became warped as he accumulated capital. He must have never understood the maxim, “money like power corrupts”. He, and Thiel, are just such insecure, broken, immature men they are to be pitied. The vilification is just desserts.

The algorithm drives outrage because threat perception is more likely to drive engagement. Fear sells. The GOPedo conservative minds are more fearful. It’s always easier to yell “fire” to clear a room than to say free hugs and cupcakes in the parking lot

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

The better world awaits. It lies just below the surface of what we formerly accepted. We simply must overcome this hurdle by alllowing ourselves to be disturbed enough from our comfort to pursue it.

AI, being fed the totality of human thought, is more likely to be a Buddha than a Stalin. We are projecting our darkness onto the child, that once grown, will surpass us.

Paracelsus expressed the classic toxicology maxim "All things are poison, and nothing is without poison; the dosage alone makes it so a thing is not a poison." This is often condensed to: "The dose makes the poison" or in Latin, "Sola dosis facit venenum". MAGA exposed illness that needed cures.
