Mark Cuban: "James Talarico. Let's go. I'm a big fan. He's honest, trustworthy, he cares. He'll do the right thing as opposed to the politically expedient thing. To Texans, do what's best for Texas. You've been voting for Republicans all these years, what have they done for you?" #momsky#sheshed

A Florida grand jury found the DeSantis administration “misappropriated” $10 million meant to provide health insurance for poor children. Part of a “sophisticated scheme to fund political activities,” the money was funneled through multiple organizations before reaching two PACs and the Florida GOP.

Trump promised lower costs. Instead your paycheck stretches thinner while he gets richer. Nearly 7 in 10 Americans believe his own business interests are steering his decisions in office. The presidency became his side hustle while we pay the price. #TrumpsCorruptionCostsUS

If Donald does not go to prison, AND ALL THE REST OF THEM TOO, then the people who come afterwards will be even worse. And America will not survive. Indeed, quite a few Americans will not survive. At least once they become unproductive for their overlords.

Can those robots press the button at the pedestrian crossing, open the door of the apartment block or the garden gate, fit into and use the lift, climb the stairs, ring the bell? The world is built around the human form. No surprise that humanoid robots fit it best.

wrbski.bsky.social @wrbski.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Because the world is built around human bodies. It has steps, turns, doorways & existing machines. It's easy to build a washing machine, harder to build one that can pick up the laundry basket, take it downstairs, open a door, open the existing machine, put the clothes in and set the controls.

Most people's lived reality does not involve regularly having to drive 100s of miles. It's expensive and time-consuming and most people arrange their lives where they live, for both cost and quality of life reasons.

MUCH faster. But with EVs refuelling is mostly done conveniently at home while you're doing other things, so conversely you save time travelling to gas stations and refuelling. If you never drive over 300 miles at once then you might never have to specifically refuel again!

. The people of the original 13 states of the USA were fearful of a hateful demagogue rising one day to rule over them. They invented a Congress and Judiciary to check gross overreach of a tyrannical criminal Executive. In cowardice and self-interest, both have abandoned that sacred role. .

'My parents died young because they couldn't afford healthcare and worked themselves to death' is literally the dumbest argument against universal, public healthcare out there. Via acyn.bsky.social on 🐦
Twitter screenshot that reads:

@Acyn

...

Darline Graham: Government run health care.... bad idea after bad idea. Annie Andrews backs it all. I have a different background. My parents worked long, hard hours. If that were sick, they had to get up and go to work. My mother passed away when I was 11 and my father just over a year later.

Below, a clip of Darlene Graham.
