As a former pretentious little shit who grew out of it, rationalists (et al) annoy the piss out of me because they are adults with the mentality of tweens - they are somehow still convinced they are the greatest geniuses who have ever walked the earth. It is the worldview of an arrogant baby.

not everything where people agree is an echo chamber. Sometimes it's *consensus* based on *observation* and *listening*. Gravitation is not an echo chamber. Evolution is not an echo chamber. Rejecting "AI" and its fascist promoters is WISDOM.

In a sane world (an alt reality) today's dissents would sufficient to warrant Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito's impeachment and removal from office. If you defy the plain words, meaning, intent, history, precedent of a black letter constitutional injunction u are abusing your power and should be removed.

It's an objective fact that Elon Musk is a mass murderer. He intentionally caused the deaths of millions of people. There's no caveats to this, no alternative explanations, no defenses, no missing context; that was the sole reason for doing what he did.

Elon is an existential threat to democracy around the world. He is set to become a trillionaire this week and can use that money to prop up far right fascist movements across the world. Governments need to treat him as the threat that he is. Sanction and divest him of his property.

Ken Paxton just gave an Epstein-style deal to a pedophile. Paxton released Adam Hoffman — an admitted child rapist — back on our streets after Paxton’s rich lawyer friend got involved. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas. Ken Paxton has no place in the US Senate.

This should be broadcast, streamed, and read aloud by Democrats between now and the Second Coming. Trump says all federal programs—Medicare and Medicaid by name, Social Security by implication—must go. It’s astounding. It’s political poison. Make Republicans drink it.

An Epstein survivor made serious allegations against President Trump that she says happened when she was a minor — serious enough that the FBI interviewed her multiple times. Yet, those files have now gone missing. There has never been a bigger cover up in modern American history. End it now.
