tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Are billionaires the natural end result of wild-west capitalism? Or can restraint enacted by representative democracies create a human race with more humane expectations for themselves? Answers: (1) Yes; and (2) I don't know if it can happen outside Scandinavia. 030
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The alternative scenario is that the tech barons are the first to go when AI decides we are no longer necessary. 110
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I feel like the tech barons may end up as the only (sort of) humans left. 110
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 29/09/2026True. But the bottom line is that there’s nothing we can do about the current generation but wait for them to die. However, we should be working hard on educating their children in civic responsibility. 010
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It begins, of course, with their leader. Trump is the greatest self-own in the history of mankind. 000
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Interesting take on that ship-of-fools show. 000
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It's amazing how right you can be, and I still want to follow sports. 110
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 29/09/2026We can hope, indeed. But Hitler's enablers had to do a whirlwind's worth more damage before they got their just deserts. Let's hope Miller doesn't get that far. 010
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Quite the opposite. This is the Republican Party, after all. 110
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I’m definitely with you on that. As evil as the politicians are, it’s the rank stupidity of their supporters that matters more. 1583
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 29/09/2026In the housing market, "sellers" do respond to price signals--at the high end of the market. That does't work so well, does it? 001
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Asking the impossible of Democrats, most of whom are still in politics-as-usual mode? 000
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Isn’t dancing in public forbidden by Sharia law? 000
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It’s always been true that people who work in government promote themselves, but usually only to get a better job in government. The grifting is new. 020
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I'm to the left of socialism (confiscationalism, not communism--let not a billionaire be!); and I think it's a good idea, too! 010
Reposted by @tkrontir.bsky.socialBill Kristol @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social · 26/09/2026As a non-socialist opera fan, may I say that this seems like…a good idea? www.metopera.org/app/opera-fo...metopera.org 2724625
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Of course she will blithely rule that it doesn’t. Contradiction is no barrier to in-the-moment taking advantage for these folks. (I’m kind of worried that, after years of watching such behavior, you still seem to expect honest and rational action. Cannon long ago walked away from all that.) 022
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Well, he’s certainly not my idea of a President out of central casting. 000
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Hey! We don’t need any more of those. We’ve got Senator Dr. Cassidy. 000
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Amazing, isn't it? But it's true. Can you think of any Dem member of Congress who is a complete moron? (I don't count Fetterman, of course, because he is now--a Republican!) 000
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 19/09/2026...beginning, of course, with the issue of budget deficits. ...how about a new Dem president firing the dopes and scalawags Trump/Putin installed at DOJ, DOS, DOD, CIA, FBI, DHHS, etc., etc.? (I worry that this cleanup will require every hour of the first two years of a Democratic presidency.) 010
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 18/09/2026You don’t have to get all the way to perverse. How about just dishonorable and cowardly? 010
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 17/09/2026One of are the chief joys in the life of a Republican is hypocrisy. But this is beyond that. It’s irony. I truly don’t know that they get that. 000
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Coming from the largest and most important blue state, he’s the most invisible of senators. 000
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I worked for a humane healthcare organization called City of Hope. They would have immediately wheeled me into their ER. 040
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 15/09/2026This this guy is almost as good at self-owns as his boss.  000
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I wonder if the judge can appoint someone like a special master who can oversee the actions of the board and counterman them were necessary. 000
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 15/09/2026It is my belief that, had the spirit and acceptance of the Fairness Doctrine remained steadfast, the rise of Rush Limbaugh and Fox News as major propaganda outlets would have been countered by that Doctrine’s extension to new media spheres. You would then hear propaganda from both sides at once. 100

You would then hear propaganda from both sides at once. 300
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 15/09/2026No. It was the discontinuation of the Fairness Doctrine, which allowed Fox’s untrammeled progression to propaganda over journalism. 200
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 11/09/2026And speaking of worried: 2) The tech bros are just waking up to the strong possibility that, when AI comes after us, they will be the first to be destroyed. 000
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Two thoughts: 1) This the worst possible time to have a corrupt, ignorant and incompetent president. 100
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I’m afraid voters stand in line behind Iran, Canada. 000
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Trump is so beyond-the-beyond that he commits a felony every time he opens his mouth. 000
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Although I share your anger with him, I think it’s possible that “scumbag” is not his true, or at least his original, self. I think he lost that during the progress and aftermath of his illness. 020
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 08/09/2026This despicable post, and the psyche that underlies it, are entirely sufficient justification for impeaching, convicting, and removing this malignant imbecile. 010
