This man is a danger to us all.

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year. The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive. threads.com/@unapologeticallyzae

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

For those slamming Carney for saying a US deal may not be possible without tariffs.
The PM is just being honest.
Something many aren’t used to hearing from our elected officials.
And he’s right! #cdnpoli

(VIDEO)🚨BREAKING: Israel just bombed the Ministry of Defense and Presidential Palace of Syria It's so disgusting. Why in the world do they get to do this? Syria is barely hanging on by a thread and has actually, to much of our anger, bent over backyards for Israel this year - then this happens

Israel bombed the Ministry of Defense and Presidential Palace of Syria. This is an act of war (again). This will continue to destabilize the region.

Insight: Italy's abortion taboos challenged by new law in Sicily Monia, a Sicilian woman in her early forties, was overjoyed when she discovered in October 2022 she was expecting her first child.

Linda Yaccarino Steps Down, Grok's Rant, and Tariffs Galore

Always a good listen with @karaswisher.bsky.social on @pivotpod.bsky.social

I actually think using X as the feeder to Grok is exactly why his AI bot is so disturbed. If your content feeding the LLM is racist, homophobic, transphobic… your AI system will be too.

The displacement of labour will lead to increased societal tension and instability.

These companies should be held to account for their harms. At the very least, make them pay taxes to help the state support people.

Tech giants like Meta or Apple or Amazon, continue to skirt taxes even though their technology is responsible for increased division and harm to society.

Furthermore these same companies are building technology (I.e AI) that will alter labour, forcing governments to increase support.

We Shouldn’t Have Billionaires, Mamdani Says
