Enough people have moved across land and sea to be with their chosen family in the past 50 years to prove a shared idea is the seed of shared community.

This would be amazing. So many little clubs and local organizations could easily become guilds. Best possible vector for coming together socially, imo.
Same π€πΌ
For years, we demanded strong enough AI guardrails to protect Americans.
Anthropic, the company behind Claude, refused to let DoD use its technology for autonomous weapons or mass surveillance of Americans. So DoD designated them a national security risk as if they were an enemy.
Cui Bono? China.

Buddy the Wonder Dog
In honor of learning that dog murderer Kristi Noem is out on her ass, I'm posting a picture of my gooberbrain dog Buddy, who steals socks and slippers and wants more than anything to be a 65-lb lap dog.
Feel free to do the same.
@akivamcohen.bsky.social you may not be infallible but you're always spot on when it comes to this. I know I can always trust your judgment. Dreamweasel would too, if they spent more time reading your posts.
Morally upright FBI agents are my second favorite fairy tale heroes, next to selfless politicians. I'm stockpiling popcorn now, and fluffing up the couch pillows. π€©
The temptation to grab that crown of moral superiority and get sanctimonious strikes all equally β‘ hubris has no party affiliation.
If it weren't so hazardously saccharine an idea, I would wish for a polished (viral worthy) piece of media stitching together proclamations of identity from all the corners of the Jewish community. The consistent factual diversity needs to come at people like a two by four.
Raskin is a treasure. Jealous of Maryland π
Woody Guthrie > Lee Greenwood βΎοΈ
Yeah, isn't it a thousand years of something afterwards? Some kind of horror show of tribulations and all? I could build an ad hoc argument off Trump alone π€£
Absolutely spot on. John Oliver did an episode on Twitter two weeks ago, that showed it's unashamedly a brainwashing outfit. We gotta be hypervigilant now about what we consume.
Choosing integrity over a paycheck πͺπΌ
Reported and blocked. Those posts about you are utter trash. Thanks for pointing them out, though- I likely wouldnt have realized, otherwise. I never saw any of their posts. You're a mensch, Dan. I'm glad you're tough skinned πͺπΌ
Stories matter; you want people to remember 12 disparate things? Give them a narrative egg carton that keeps them all together. The narrative is the scaffolding for every little detail.
You're a real one. Love your YouTube shorts!!
Genuinely bent over laughing π€£
He is a treasure β¨
Even W pretended to serve his time. The flagrant audacity of excusing his progeny is just one more way he exposes his desperate yearning to be a dictator. Even real kings have their sons serve as officers.
The solid, rational grasp of reality is so intoxicating, I could listen to this all day. π₯°
Sadly, you're exactly right. A few were propelled to stardom for their stem scores, but most were advised to follow "regular" career paths. There's a metric ton of my classmates who were very gifted in those subjects, but were shunted into blue collar jobs
I confess, I do wonder what Neil Gorsuch thinks when he sees Kash and Hegseth tying one on, on the taxpayers' dime.
John Oliver dropped; Police Body Cameras
If everything is made to order, how much waste can be eliminated? ππΌ
What do you make of the anthropological posit that Jews came up to those islands and settled in peacefully long before Rome? Too woo?
This is colossally unfair
Yes, yes and yes! I wasn't much of a Clapton fan until that song. It changed my mind. Sting is such a great collaborator π He is a true giant of music, imo. Still composing! ππΌ
Agree completely. "Stay in your lane" is quite possibly the most pretentious phrase of all time; they should just say "I'm an ignorant jackass unwilling to hear conflicting views."
