I hope customers do a boycott of anything Disney makes with Sora/AI. The only thing thats going to cause them to reverse course and continue depending on actual artists for their work is if the content it produces completely flops.

I hate all that stuff. I cannot stand the Gemini on my phone. Its so annoying. Nobody wants that technology but they insist on shoving it down our throats.

Thats f**king insane. First off, while vaping isn't healthy, its not as unhealthy as cigarettes. Second off, maybe they should focus on the actual drug trafficking in the country rather than some stupid vapes. Oh right, the cartels control the government. That says it all.

The voters in the Midwest have been extremely propagandized. They live in a far-right bubble and its been that way since Reagan deregulated media in the 80s. It got progressively worse since then. Even all local news is owned by Sinclair-a far-right media corporation. Thats why theyve moved right.

Assuming Trump lives that long, what percentage chance do you think Trump will willingly or peacefully leave office in 2028?

Republicans don't care if theyre supporting a pedophile. Just in case you thought Epstein would be a breaking point for MAGA. It's called a cult for a reason.

Democrats spend more time running away from their most popular politicians (Bernie, AOC, Zohran etc) and fighting them harder than they fight Republicans. Then they wonder why the party is so unpopular. 🤦‍♂️

He is the modern Rush Limbaugh. Except probably even further right wing. Then again Rush would've gladly moved into fascist territory himself by now if he were still alive.

Stop focusing on the single mom buying a $2 dollar soda with her SNAP card and start focusing on the billionaires sucking up tens of millions of dollars in tax payer subsidies. Elon Musk (richest man on earth) receives over 8 million dollars from tax payers PER DAY.

I wouldn't be surprised if the dollar is dropped as the world exchange currency within the next 15 years. The US is becoming more unstable and oligarchic. The dollar gets its value from taxation and theyre increasingly unwilling to tax the rich to maintain stability for the dollar.

People shouldn't watch cable news at all. Its corporate garbage. Fox, CNN and MSNBC are all right wing outlets. Fox is far-right and the others are center-right. Fox is pro-Republican and the others are pro-establishment of either party. The establishment being neo-liberalism.

That certainly played a roll. I think probably more misogyny than racism. I mean, America did elect a black guy with a Muslim name, twice. But just my speculation.

Those that support fascists are no different from the ones of WW2. They support fascism fully understanding there will be people persecuted, that's what they want. But they are always convinced they won't be on the receiving end. Its in-group/out-group. They think theyre the in-group.

For the first time in 100 years or more, social media algorithms have made Gen Z into the first generation to be more conservative than the gen before them. They have brain rot and its directly a result of the internet/social media pulling them into extremist rabbit holes.

Arguing with MAGA fascists is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to sh*t on the board and strut around like it won anyway.

This is the result of years of feckless Democrats allowing police departments to become partisan. I would say he could get the cops to escort him but most are MAGA now and they'll work in cahoots with ICE against him and theres nothing he can do to stop it. Gov. has become as corrupt as a 3rd wrld

If they don't care that the president of the United States is a convicted felon then why tf should any of us care if someone is here "illegally"? Oh no! They have outdated paperwork! 😱 The guy you blindly support enforcing "deportations" (kidnapping) is a r*pist. 😑😑😑😑

I cannot take you seriously. Its like you're talking to a different person at this point. I keep reiterating the same point I made from the beginning and you just deny it and then claim I'm moving the goal post. Ok. How old are you? Same point since the start-labor unions were key.

Rick @reasonablerick.bsky.social · 12/07/2025
Oh look, another person projecting their own arrogance onto someone else....I will repeat again, LABOR UNIONS PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE IN THE VELVET REVOLUTION. I never claimed those other groups weren't involved. I said you can't have these sort of things without an organized masses.

yeah and again, something in that is pretty key that you're missing about modern America....ORGANIZED LABOR.

Most people in the south think people on gov programs are lazy fraudsters. Until THEY or a loved one gets on those programs. Then they'll say THEY deserve it. They are the exception and should get it but everyone else doesn't deserve it. This ignorant mindset makes me sick to my stomach.

A general strike is literally just fantasy talk when less than 10% of the workforce is organized into labor unions. Pure fantasy. Can't and won't happen. But even if it did, it'd just give Trump the excuse he's wants to impose martial law. Martial law has happened in the US before-(labor strikes).

This moron thinks adding more tariffs is going to lure these countries back to the US dollar. He's too dumb to realize he's just pushing them further away. M-orons A-re G-overning A-merica. 🤦‍♂️

If China would just embrace less authoritarianism and more democracy within its borders, I'd be cheering them on to become the #1 world power. Unfortunately the US seems to be copying the bad things they do and none of the good. 🤦‍♂️

Christian-nationalists are the "Islamists" of Christianity. No literally. An "Islamist" is a conservative Muslim that wants government and Islam intertwined. That's exactly what Christian-nationalists want. They just want it with Christianity rather than Islam.

Hot take but I think The European Union should become one sovereign nation similar to how the U.S. works. Each nation becomes a state inside the nation of the E.U. one might even call it the United States of Europe. They would all certainly become stronger and safer if they united as one.

All of this "A.I." 1) isn't even really artificial intelligence. Its just advanced predictive text. 2) "A.I. art" relies on the theft of others' work and should therefore become completely illegal.

Centrists aren't in there to beat Republicans. They're there to keep progressives from power. To keep Mamdani from winning, half of the establishment will get behind Eric Adams-someone who's so corrupt, he's literally controlled opposition for Trump. They rather Trump get a win than progressives.

Just so we're clear, we have a president who incited a riot and pardoned the rioters, sending in troop to stop a riot. 🤦‍♂️ They're giving Trump the excuse he's been looking for to use the Insurrection Act and impose martial law. 🫤

Now that Elon had a falling out with Trump, we can now expect some elected Dems to start trying to rehabilitate Nazi saluting Elon Musk to chase after his money. We need campaign finance reform more than ANYTHING.

Congrats to Mexico! 🇲🇽 They just had an election for their Supreme Court. They now have the most progressive Supreme Court in the world. Including an indigenous Chief Justice. Mexico is proving to now be a better republic than the U.S.
