Hearing lots of discourse about "stochastic parrots" recently? Here's a discussion of the backstory, both of the phrase itself and what's going on now.

Anyone that has an ideological view such as this, does not deserve the life that they’ve been given.

Dear god, please don’t. In WA, you get a voter guide. Facts about each position and candidate. I literally would rather you find a publication you generally agree with and shortlist their endorsements. Do not use the fascist lie machine that chops up Wikipedia articles and spits out bullshit

“Democracy has been hailed as, like, the holy grail for the last couple hundred years, but democracies are inefficient,” said the crypto billionaire. “If you get a benevolent dictator, it’s actually extremely efficient." Hmm, where have I heard this before? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/b...

AIPAC didn’t lose its way. Americans have become wise to Israel and AIPAC’s propaganda in support of genocide. AIPAC was founded to convince American politicians that Israel slaughtering Palestinians was “self defense”. AIPAC is as evil as it ever was. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/05/o...

Let’s all remember, this is occupied Palestine being systemically exterminated by then Israeli occupation forces, with unfettered economic and military help from America, a “so-called” democratic country.

Last year, Chicagoan Marimar Martinez was shot **5 times** by a Border Patrol agent & all agents accounts were contradicted by evidence. Now she is suing the federal govt. Worth reading whole piece; agents cheered for shooter via celebratory texts (“beers on me") blockclubchicago.org/2026/10/05/m...

It is a start, but extremely lacking to say the least. The lifetime benefit can be spent in a few months and you’re done.

No one should have such immense wealth. He could pay every employee $50hr, provide a pension, healthcare and not even blink. Why he, and others like him don’t, is the billion dollar question.

There's a takeover of the American news industry going on, pushed by Elon Musk, the Ellisons, the Saudis and others. Democracy is impossible if the truth is buried under right-wing propaganda, so we've got to push back against this "media capture." My Stop the Presses newsletter.
