The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering

The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

Maybe Rex Tillerson Was Right. Maybe Trump Really Is Just A Moron. His lying and temper tantrums aside, evidence abounds that the president's most important, and dangerous, feature is his ignorance.

I grew up on Sesame Street, The Electric Company, and Fred Rogers.

As a teen I watched Masterpiece Theater with my mom, and at 13 Carl Sagan delivered me the Cosmos.

In many ways it’s the assault on kindness and intellectual curiosity that might be the most heartbreaking thing about the Trump era.

CBS, Disney sell out, bribe Trump openly. CBS cancels Colbert, compromises 60 Min. WaPost is gutted. CNN undermined by fake both sidesing. LA Times coopted. NYT on the fence, offering mix of news, squishy takes. X seized by the right. Admin is a lie machine. We're losing Trump's war on truth..

My attempt to distract from the harsh reality of what's happening to our country with a fist-bumping chimp.

Trump White House ai image reversed to represent true nature, Alligators dresses as Nazis infront of a US concentration camp. Fence and barbwire.

Rebrand Trump’s β€˜Alligator Alcatraz’ as β€˜Alligator Auschwitz’, take control of the narrative, don't let the fascists define themselves and drive home that this is nothing less than a concentration camp. #3E #EndImpunity #StopICE

No, We Do Not Have to 'Go To War With the President We Have' An answer to Bill Kristol

β€œYou’ve got to go to war with the president you have,” my former colleague Bill Kristol told The New York Times on Wednesday.

But the president we have is Donald J. Trump.

"If you want a kind of risk-averse, unathletic woman to feel comfortable getting on a bike, you need to invest in the appropriate infrastructure..the more we invest in bike infrastructure, the more we can improve the whole system."

I'm risk-averse & stick to trails. But how glorious it would be..

I honestly can't be bothered to use Emoji's when I'm on my Mac because I can't ever remember where they are hidden and I'm not gonna search for the answer every time.

Wish it would be automatic, like if I type lol or ;), why can't those generate emoji's at the system level?

I get that the algorithm throttles certain words. But replacing β€œNazi” with β€œNotzee” or β€œNotsee” or β€œN@zi” isn’t OK. That word must be remembered exactly as it is. Sanitizing it helps the next wave blend in. Say it. Spell it. Face it.

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.
