There’s excitement about the Rasmussen poll that shows the Dems flipping the Senate, but wake me when: • Trump is impeached and removed from office • a truth and reconciliation commission starts holding people accountable • ICE and DHS are abolished and CBP reformed • the Senate is abolished 1/3

One wild thing that not a lot of people are aware of, is that we don’t actually have to let these companies do any of this.

James Fasani poem:

Title: Listening to the Billionaire tell us AI is just the newest tool everyone will benefit from

When men
broke open
the miraculous power
of the atom,

the first thing they did
with it
was deliver it
into the hands
of the schoolchildren

of Hiroshima

United States of America: “We condemn in the strongest possible way, the public executions by ISIS, they are inhumane, and betray a savage society. Also the US: “Tune in for a public execution, they had it coming”. Where is the outrage from the rest of the world. Disgusting.

Whether it's Bill Clinton using tax-payer money to pay for the postage on letters back to people who wrote to his cat or Donald Trump steering hundreds of millions of dollars in government contracts to his son's companies, both presidents engaged in corruption on an unprecedented scale.

Cornell does, after all, have a distinguished tradition of producing leaders: governors, members of Congress, CEOs, Nobel laureates, people entrusted with decisions affecting millions of lives. Perhaps leadership could begin with one. Before teaching young men how to run the world, teach them what to do when the world is one room, one woman, one terrible thing happening, and nobody wants to be the first man to ruin the evening.

I need someone to develop an app where I deposit like $100 at the beginning of the year and then when I click on an article that’s behind a paywall they deduct a cost per article for that specific site and send it to the publication rather than expect me to subscribe to 50 outlets.

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

This is what really needs to change. Yes, boys and men need to own this, because that’s a big factor in how we wound up with a convicted rapist in the White House, and every single person on this group chat should be publicly shamed, but the lack of basic decency and moral courage is appalling.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

Between 29 and 35 percent of the American citizenry is too fucking ignorant to operate a republic. As Churchill noted, democracy is the worst form of government there is -- until you consider every alternative. It's hard, quotidian labor to self-govern, so the worst of us are exploring alternatives.
