If only anti-social media companies were forced to disclose the locations of their users (backfired massively for Musk when he briefly allowed it) and AI generated content. This is called regulation. This is what responsible governments do

Yeah. Quite. Except Laurel and Hardy were (again) mocking this stuff. So tiresome to see this. Kuchner and Witkoff doesn't have the same ring to it as t Laurel and Hardy and they're way worse than just comically incompetent

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Yeah. The response to the far right fucknuckles is to be inclusive. Because that's what they're not. (Also to point-out that the far right never delivers on anything. And that they invariably lead to more wars..just sayin')

Is Elon Musk a white supremacist? IDK. Did he cut a tiny amount of government funding for people doing good work trying to help people around the world and not billions for his own companies? Oh. Yes. That's exactly what he did. The ketamine helps him sleep at night

Hmmm. Starting to think (and I know I’m a bit late to this) that the techno-fascists like Musk, Zuckerberg, Thiel, Anderson etc. need to be reigned-in before we have another world war to defeat fascism. Americans better be voting the right way in November or we’re all doomed

Ben-Gvir's AI-generated ad for a fucking concentration camp is one of the worst things I've ever seen (I admit I've had that thought a lot recently!). If you're still supporting these pricks, or haven't opened your mouth against them, your cowardice/evil has no limit, no red line
Literally an AI ad for a concentration camp, in which Ben-Gvir joyfully starves Palestinian prisoners

Everything DJT does is leading to a global recession. The Canada thing is the final nail in that coffin. Canada holds $500b in treasuries. Everyone else is offloading already. US interest rates are about to soar. Along with prices. How's all that 'winning' going MAGA voters?

The latest in Israel's grotesque weaponization of antisemitism to shield itself from criticism *while it carries out a genocide* is... to misrepresent effigies at a protest..specifically of itamar Ben gvir and netenyahu himself as some sort of msg to Jews in general.

The tech bros gave us crypto currency that isn’t currency, artificial intelligence that isn’t intelligence, and prediction markets that are inside-trader scams. On the other hand, they have given us gigantic data centers that employ no one and destroy communities. So there’s that.
