There are many ways in which every billionaire is a policy failure, but the most corrosive and destructive way in which billionaires are policy failures is this: billionaires, despite being unelected and unaccountable, possess the power to control - and ruin - millions of peoples' lives.
The Warner Brother tower posed against a vintage map of Burbank, keeling over, tearing up a huge clot of sod and concrete. Standing atop of the tower, forcing it down, is a sad, spavined donkey in Democratic Party livery. Being crushed under the tower is the California flag bear, with blood pouring out of its eye and mouth.

Having been at privateer press between 2014 - 2016 roughly, this whole thing is wild to me. Sucks folks got laid off. Hope Warmachine becomes a fan project and those IPs are just used by anyone as they see fit. Perfect end to that. Kickstarter culture is just gross and I say that having run many

Steamforged Games is facing mounting criticism from crowdfunding backers over unresolved refunds and dwindling updates across its undelivered projects, after it cut about a third of its workforce and refocused towards its Warmachine miniatures earlier this year: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20...

According to leaks, Anthropic reported a $42B net loss in 2025. This was revealed as Anthropic is preparing a massive IPO and even bigger investments in AI infrastructure. How worried should we be about the AI bubble bursting?

You know what's gross? Data centers building in places that already suffer water issues, like Arizona and California, due in part to things like the Colorado River Compact and more. I really look forward to this bubble driving further data center booms so we can starve infrastructure.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Donald Trump is ordering extrajudicial killings of suspected drug smugglers. He's vilifying his political opponents and threatening to jail them. His ICE agents are terrorizing immigrants and firing chemical agents at peaceful protestors. And some people think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize?

This political administration is full of bullies. As Arendt says, power comes from group action and violence is a reaction to that power. They are scared and Kirk's death shows that because it could never be them, but if you open a fucking door, you open it for yourself too, dickheads.

There is no excuse for political violence in America. And no excuse for a U.S. president using a heinous killing as an occasion to treat his political opponents as accomplices to murder and threatening to use the full power of the government to attack them.

Thousands of undocumented immigrant workers helped rebuild New York City in the wake of 9/11. 24 years later, they're at risk of deportation as they still struggle with chronic health issues. A pathway to citizenship is the least these workers deserve. documentedny.com/2025/09/11/u...

They Helped Rebuild After 9/11. Now They Live in Fear of Deportation.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

A Trump-appointed judge overturned a Biden-era rule that removed medical debt from credit reports. The ruling came days after Republicans voted to kick millions of Americans off healthcare – which will likely cause medical debt to skyrocket. A perfect storm of cruelty.

An economy needs predictability. Investors won’t invest, consumers won’t buy, and producers won’t produce if economic policies change on a whim. I haven't always agreed with Jerome Powell, but the Fed's independence is vital. Trump doesn't care about this. He only cares about subservience.
