I’m not allowed to comment on this post but it makes me wonder who - in this economy- has time to spend 3 months becoming the driving force of a volunteer organization of any kind? Just me?

Fun fact: it costs your library way more money to loan you the ebook. Ebooks have never ending license fees. Paper books are owned completely by your library. Stay frosty kids.

If you didn’t think we were living in a completely insane dystopian timeline try reading this sentence to yourself a couple of times: Pardoned Capitol rioter tried to bribe child sex victim with promise of Jan. 6 payout, officials say.

Tom Steyer’s bets on private prisons and coal mining could spell trouble in 2020 When Tom Steyer was running a hedge fund in 2000, he wrote a letter telling some wealthy investors their money would soon flow through an offshore company that would shield their gains from U.S. taxes...

Probably a good time to to revisit this one

I couldn’t get past the first 40 minutes and want to keep watching, Boring, slow, utterly overworked visuals (even in places where no VFX were required)
Easily his weakest film. Sad.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor ...
@Re... β€’ 58m g ...
I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world.
The man I supported and helped get elected.
Aggressive rhetoric attacking me has historically led to death threats and multiple convictions of men who were radicalized by the same type rhetoric being directed at me right now.
This time by the President of the United States.
As a woman I take threats from men seriously.
I now have a small understanding of the fear and pressure the women, who are victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal, must feel.
As a Republican, who overwhelmingly votes for President Trump's bills and agenda, his aggression against me which also fuels the venomous nature of his radical internet trolls (many of whom are paid), this is completely shocking to everyone.

Breaking news: β€˜Weapons’ is not a horror film. It’s not actually very good as just a movie. Lots of good actors in there though. So that’s a bummer.

This appears to be well trodden space. I just looked up half a dozen videos from 2023 and this Q was already dropped on all of them (in the last couple months), clearly you are far from alone in this little game. Anyway, dropped the Q and got zero likes/replies. Gonna look elsewhere for my fix.

Right? I’ve lived in CA over 20 years and never once heard that term in ref to her. To me she is just a power addicted selfish person with zero morals who should have retired 15 years ago, maybe more.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

Trump's Crypto Corruption, Explained
Trump's Crypto Corruption, Explained Robert Reich

Trump's Truth Social is launching a crypto-based gambling service to compete with Polymarket.

This comes as Trump is deregulating crypto and letting it reach its tentacles into financial institutions β€” enriching himself at the public's expense. https://youtu.be/gpCxV-cRY4o?si=EdTStYPNG0BeN5dj

I have a theory that America's revolution won't truly start until the white people who are NOT in the top 10% start to suffer and then they will finally turn.
They will be the last to finally join the revolution because the sequence of suffering starts with Black and Brown people so they don't care yet.
The monster of capitalism is never satisfied. So eventually, everybody outside of the 10% will suffer. It will just take longer to effect the whites enough for them to get fed up

On β€˜No Kings’ day, where millions people from every state took to the streets to protest the fascist takeover of our government, he actually posted this, where, while wearing a king crown, he dumps excrement on American citizens. This is where we are.
