The right: - Tells working people it's all the fault of people on benefits. - Tells people on benefits that it's all the fault of immigrants. - Tells immigrants they don't belong here. The one group that never get any blame? The rich.

Every election should have a “none of the above” option and if that gets the most votes then they have to do the election again with new candidates

If I don't keep my car roadworthy and crash into yours, it hasn't gone "rogue", it's my negligence and I'm responsible. If my dog attacks you, I am liable. There are no rogue AIs, just negligent AI companies. Prosecute them.

The hardest part of flying home from Japan is adjusting to the time change. For example in Tokyo I got to experience a future where everyone deserves dignity but I’m flying back to a country intent on pushing itself back to the 1950s. It’s hard to adjust your watch to that.

@Nonilex be warned - there is a *LOT* of half-arsed speculation and downright misinformation swirling around out there... different pilot nationalities, suicide attempt, argument between pilots, terrorism etc. etc. Please do not repeat anything unless it's been verified from a reputable source.

People like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are not geniuses. They're just evil morons who have been able to take advantage of a system built by and for evil morons. We need to rebuild a society where these idiots cannot get money and power.

The way the global media seemed to make out Trump had a win when the real story is that Trump once again was outwitted. They are not on our side and we should stop pretending they are. #trump #Denmark #Media #FourthEstate #Politics

Denmark just pulled off the diplomatic
heist of the decade. They basically got
Trump to re-sign the 1951 Greenland
agreement, but added a genius "poison
pill": the deal is only valid as long as the
US stays in NATO. Trump gets the
domestic headline, but Denmark quietly
locked them into the European security
architecture. Masterful.
