It’s time to wake up - we are literally on the verge of losing our democracy if Donald Trump cheats his way to those seats in Texas.

this is literally just Curtis Yarvin technofeudalist speak and it is malpractice that the New York Times isn’t pointing this out

For people upset today that the NYT is using neo-fascist Curtis Yarvin language about destroying the "cathedral" of higher ed, note that these reporters are the same ones who last month reported that Harvard was conceding to Trump, hiding that their 'sources' were White House officials. 1/

Cuomo is such a putz. I hope that The Weiner’s Circle ladies let him have it.

Does anybody have any experience with slingTV? I used to work great and then it stopped working telling me I had an 11–6 error because I’m using VPN. I am not using VPN. So I got rid of sling and switched to YouTube TV but now I would like it back and it’s still showing the same problem. Arghhh.

Apparently, today is Saturday. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I will not be taking questions at this time.

People should scream bloody murder about RFK blocking vaccines for kids.

I mean it. Mothers and fathers should get hysterical.

I'd rarely advise this as a strategy. But, I think it's appropriate for this. What could be more clear and stark? It's not hard to explain to reporters.

I think a lot of Americans believe their country is the one they learned about in school. They haven’t grasped the fact that it’s well on the way to becoming a Christofascist dictatorship.

Trump's Confederacy rises again The Lost Cause doesn't seem all that lost anymore.

"This embrace of Lost Cause propaganda is more than just a quirk. It’s MAGA policy. The perversion of Civil War history is of a piece with the Big Lie about the 2020 election, which Trump still insists he won, and the January 6 attack on the Capitol." — @playtyperguy.com

Rethinking the Luddites in the Age of A.I. Brian Merchant’s new book, “Blood in the Machine,” argues that Luddism stood not against technology per se but for the rights of workers in the face of automation.

Today, the word “Luddite” is used as an insult to anyone resistant to technological innovation. But a recent book argues that Luddism stood not against technology per se but for the rights of workers in the face of automation.

Zelenskyy should counter by offering Russia Alaska.

"The meeting was reportedly relocated from Vance’s D.C. home to the White House. Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel were said to be in attendance, according to MSNBC."
