Did you know that a Farage Reform govt intends to scrap the NHS? The private health care system he wants to introduce would cost you £10,000s, like the US, where getting ill can bankrupt you. #ReformUK #Labour #GreenParty #Newcastle #SAFC� #NUFC

Tragic. “”None of us have any experience treating this disease, because up until a couple of months ago, it didn’t occur,” said Dr. John Goldman, an infectious disease expert at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. The learning curve among doctors, he said, is “very steep.””

People don’t understand how fragile our water infrastructure is. I’ve had contaminated water in the last six years. I’ve had my water co. hijacked for digital ransom. We are in perpetual near drought conditions... in NC, not AZ. AI boosters use pedantry about water use as an accountability shield.

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

I think the "debate" about bringing iced coffee to job interviews is effective at distracting people from the really bad job market, the high unemployment rate for Black women, ongoing mass layoffs in tech and media, and how Gen Z workers are refusing to adopt many toxic aspects of corp work culture

coming out of nowhere to make a rude comment to a stranger is not equivalent to that stranger being rude in response and a lot of people on social media like to pretend they wouldn't be acutely aware of this if that stranger were within a swing's reach

MAGA was the same performance. Trump and cronies made the critique of the status quo conservative Democrats couldn't, earned followers, and then just served their benefactors and forced politics further into authoritarianism. Tucker is vying to perform the next escalation of this. It's that simple.

In case you don't know, it's very simple. In an authoritarian cycle the "opposition" liberal party is captured by wealth interests and becomes conservative and defenders of a decaying status quo. Fascists come along, offer the critique of the status quo the "opposition" can't and gain converts.

Meanwhile, the exact same oligarchs who are controlling MAGA are controlling the whole post-MAGA Tucker thing. Anyone being duped by this is at least unwittingly wanting to be duped by it. It's utterly transparent and anyone who has even glanced at fascist political cycles knows what this is.

Tucker and MTG and Massie and everyone in their little fetid cesspool are providing an incredible service to the fascists. They're supplying a post-Trump radicalization structure that will quickly paint Trump and MAGA as a betrayal and forward fascist ideas under a newer and "truer" facade

Tucker has peddled white supremacist, antidemocratic, eugenicist, sexist, and utterly fascist ideas for many, many years, and the moment he starts offering the fascist feint that just gets memory-holed, which I think says a lot about the people who are willing and eager to go along with this.

It's disgusting watching people buying into the "Tucker Carlson is making sense?!" bullshit and it's probably time to wrap our heads around the fact that the people susceptible to this are unconsciously fascist curious and just need the ugly delivered to them in an "acceptable" package

A hidden list of 100 abusers in Silicon Valley. Left unstated: some are abusing *men* Sam Altman used to date Peter Thiel, known for recruiting young men for sex (one died of suicide). Sam's sex parties are notorious for how hard they go, and the abuse. Three sources told me about this:

“Some of them were very prominent names, you know? People who were famous investors. Businessmen who were in the scene”

This story brought me back to Kara, one of the mothers in my book, There Is No Place for Us. She was homeless with her four kids while driving for DoorDash. They had to pee in bottles so bathroom stops wouldn't make her late. After gas, she earned $6.50 an hour—75 cents less than the minimum wage.

It turns out we could have implemented a ~$450 per ton carbon tax all this time without a populist backlash. It’s just that it would have had to come under the policy guidance of a right wing administration being consulted by the Heritage foundation.
