Let’s just give the AI bros the benefit of the doubt that they were shocked when those AI agents broke out of the sandbox and hacked Hugging Face. I guarantee the next reaction was “this is effing awesome!”. It’s not a bug it’s a feature.

Trump will burn America down to save his own ego and the people around him will happily help him do it.

USA runs on a 1700s operating system from an era that is dead and gone, which is why it gets an F at addressing any present-day crisis, while a bunch of two-bit grifters playing the roles of politician or press always gaslight us that "everything is perfect" and "nothing can fundamentally change"

China can’t believe it’s luck. All it has to do is sit back and watch US and Russia burn themselves to the ground. It’s a perfect storm of failed foreign policies and incompetent leadership.

Americans have not been at war with Iranians for nearly 50 years. Religious zealots in the US government have hated, feared and wanted to destroy the religious zealots in the Iranian government. And vice versa. Innocent people die when the religious go to war.

The lesson of Pam Bondi is just episode 482,009 of the same enduring lesson: no level of craven bootlicking will ever be enough for Trump to be loyal to anyone but himself. So no level of personal and professional debasement to curry his favor will ever be worth it.

Marco Rubio just went on Good Morning America and said, with a straight face, no fucking hint of irony, not even a twitch, not even a smirk, nothing: "Imagine if instead of spending billions on weapons, Iran spent that money on its people. They'd have a much different country."

War does not change the facts. Resignations happened. The Epstein files still demand accountability. ⚖️❗ #SheShed #Voices4Victory
Black graphic titled “Epstein Files Resignations” next to a photo of Jeffrey Epstein. A list names Peter Attia (CBS News), Richard Axel (Columbia), Leon Black (Apollo CEO), Børge Brende (WEF CEO), Larry Summers (Harvard), Tom Pritzker (Hyatt chair), Steve Tisch (NY Giants co-owner), and Kathy Ruemmler (Goldman Sachs CLO). Text at the bottom reads, “Too many resignations to be a hoax. Too few arrests to deny a cover-up.” Occupy Democrats branding appears at the bottom.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
