"skepticism" is the wrong word folks. "Denialiam" is the word reporters use. Bloomberg has NO idea of whether or not Raymond really believed in global warming. What we know is that he denied it. News outlets should report what they know, not attempt mind reading.

The claim that AI will be used to boost productivity and improve everyone's lives would have just a little bit more credibility if the big tech companies weren't already using AI exactly as every knows they will, which is to fire people and extract more work from those remaining.

Unfortunately, this piece on The Great Resegregation has aged well. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
If the Great Resegregation proves successful, it will restore an America past where racial and ethnic minorities were the occasional token presence in an otherwise white-dominated landscape. It would repeal the gains of the civil-rights era in their entirety. What its advocates want is not a restoration of explicit Jim Crow segregation—that would shatter the illusion that their own achievements are based in a color-blind meritocracy. They want an arrangement that perpetuates racial inequality indefinitely while retaining some plausible deniability, a rigged system that maintains a mirage of equal opportunity while maintaining an unofficial racial hierarchy. Like elections in authoritarian countries where the autocrat is always reelected in a landslide, they want a system in which they never risk losing but can still pretend they won fairly.

Call US Senators and tell them to vote against the SAVE Act. It has already passed the US House. In its current form, it means that 100 years after women earned the right to vote, we are facing down the implementation of a 21st century poll tax for women.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Went back to the history of the Sicilian Mafia to illustrate something obvious but worth stating explicitly: The Trump administration behaves like an organized crime syndicate running a protection racket, not a representative government www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...
Elections in democracies determine who administers the government; they do not alter whom the government is for. Under any administration, Republican or Democratic, the United States government exists to serve the people of the United States, regardless of their partisan affiliation. Besides, Americans are not as easily divided as Trump might think. Millions of Republican voters live in New York, just as millions of Democrats live in Texas. He cannot tell whom he is punishing by glancing at an electoral map. But even if he could, Trump’s acts of extortion have no place in a democracy. They belong in a protection racket: If you support Trump, you are protected; if you do not, you are vulnerable. If you donate enough cash to Trump, you may receive favorable treatment, including immunity from the law. If you oppose Trump, you may be prosecuted.This is not how a representative government works. It is how the Mafia works.

Feels quaint, almost cliché, to say this about a Trump action, but just for the record: This is all illegal, the President can't simply disregard the laws passed and agencies created by Congress, and both Vought & Trump would be impeached if the Constitution or the rule of law mattered to the GOP.

Disney/ABC put Kimmel back on air. Sinclair & Nexstar are blocking him. These are state-licensed stations funded by ads, not Disney. Pressure advertisers, file FCC complaints, and push back on corporate censorship. #FreeSpeech #NoKings #Kimmel
Heads up: Disney/ABC put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air, but many viewers still can’t see him. Why? Because Sinclair and Nexstar, which own a huge number of local ABC affiliates, are blocking his return.

Sinclair is demanding an apology and even a donation. Nexstar says it “wants assurances.” These are not private streaming choices. These are state-licensed stations that depend on local ad dollars, and they are using their gatekeeping power for political leverage.

👉 What you can do:
	1.	Check your local station. See if it is owned by Sinclair or Nexstar.
	2.	Watch the ads. Write down which brands are keeping these stations afloat.
	3.	Pressure advertisers. Let them know their dollars are funding censorship.
	4.	File a complaint with the FCC. These stations are supposed to serve the public interest, not political agendas.

Remember: Disney does not control your local affiliate. Sinclair and Nexstar do. Advertisers are what keep them alive.

This is not just about one late-night host. It is about whether powerful corporations can silence national programming for political reasons.
