Building a racist millenarian murder sex cult around rock and roll is at least cooler than doing it around fuckin’ computer nerd shit.

AI is a cult and every conversation I have with someone who is pro AI further convinces me of the fact.

Genuinely, when you send someone to the United States Senate as submoronic, gibbering and ridiculous as Tommy Tuberville, your statehood should be suspended. At this point there should be 49 United States and the Alabama Territory. Followed by a second, more committed attempt at Reconstruction.

Symbols matter. White House isn't a palace. Kennedy Center is for the general public to enjoy. We don't have a triumphal arch in DC because that's imperial. We don't put the president's face on money because it's monarchical. It's about tearing down everything that says we're a democratic republic.

THE MONKEES debuted on NBC #OTD in 1966 I've seen Mike, Davy, Peter, and Micky perform solo and in every configuration except the original quartet since 1986. Decades of joy w/ audiences of all ages. It's time to end the fiction that they weren't "real" and recognize them while Micky's still here.

Workers didn't win weekends, safer workplaces, better wages, or the 40-hour workweek because corporations decided to do the right thing. They won those rights by organizing and fighting together. This Labor Day, we honor that history and keep fighting for working people.
