I'd rather see us build a hell of a lot of affordable housing instead of "A.i." data centers. 🤷

The Fed Chair disclosed his $100 net worth in April, and Warren questioned him about it in July. This is the first I’ve heard of it.

AI boosters are as dogmatic as conservatives in how they view their opponents as ignorant and brainwashed. They rarely provide a nuanced perspective.

TODAY: New SNAP cuts are kicking in because of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill." 5 million people have already lost food assistance, including 1.5 million+ kids since the bill was enacted. No kid deserves to go hungry so Trump can give his billionaire buddies another tax handout.

California just banned child marriage! Yup: until recently, California was one of only three states - along with New Mexico and Mississippi - with no minimum age to wed. A child could marry as long as they had parental consent and a judge’s approval. calmatters.org/politics/202...

California bans child marriage after 9-year fight to outlaw the practice

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law prohibiting marriage for people under 18. Liberal civil rights organizations fought previous efforts to ban the practice.

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

A great illustration of the way social media has essentially shredded society’s informational immune system: The USSR spent a fortune trying to spread conspiracy theories, without success because they couldn’t crack newsrooms. Today, you can reach the globe with a post that costs $20 to make.

I find it fascinating that so many estranged parents view the estrangement as an incident, not as a process. So it's forums full of Boomers going "She stopped talking to me because I said her haircut was bad! She's so UNREASONABLE!", when, in reality, they've been shitting on their kid for decades.

That’s not counterintuitive. However, lots of people resent corrupt congressmen who have much larger salaries than they do. I agree that better candidates are well worth the expense and the disconnect from most people’s financial situations.
