People's hearts are breaking across the world. There is a sacred sorrow now across the planet over this war that all of us are feeling. Every one of us is carrying this pain in our hearts. This is the story of this war in voices from across the world.

The total cost of permanent and rapid-housing, prevention, and support to house all homeless vets would cost $5.4 billion annually.

The war in Iran costs $1 billion a day.

$1 billion a day is more than USAID needed annually.

It’s never been about saving money.

Seriously. If they’ll double tap an entire school of little girls, imprison their own citizens without due process, and abduct world leaders they’re not actively at war with, why should they?

This regime has thrown out the rules of engagement and doctrines of human rights.

Dems need to stop trying to be moderates. Moderates don’t stand for anything- they just water down policies and rights because they believe they’ll win conservative votes.

No, son. The United States needs vision. We need reps to get us on the level. Equally, integrity, humanity.

As it turns out, being “the opposition party” isn’t a long-term strategy, because you have to create policies and offer constituents value in exchange for social order.

Racism and billionaire grab bag isn’t serving most people, and the consequences will mount until we reach a tipping point.

So many things.

It’s also important to remember that this has been decades in the making. Between defunding education, gerrymandering, psyops, propaganda, policy shifts, and owning most news / social media, they have been controlling the narrative.

People are just starting seeing through it, now.

And we need to ask those people where else other than the US don’t they tax billionaires?

A Flock of Seagulls could have told him that even when you run so far away, to the ends of the Earth, you still couldn’t get away.

I think it’s important to ask people “can you sue AI when it does harm or is incorrect?” because the answer is no… and people will be held responsible for those errors.

Legally, it’s your skin in the game. Obviously, regulation helps everyone, but do these people have no sense of self preservation?

Here’s the thing. D&D is just improv with dice and math.

Make a character you’re excited about, even if they’re antisocial or evil, and commit.

Tell your party what you’re planning, and maybe you can be a traveling group of misanthropes, or have a spicy feud in the group.

Sky’s the limit.

Can’t wait for us to investigate Polymarket for everyone who placed a bet on nuclear war last week.

"The point of being over 40 is to fulfill the desires you've been harboring since you were 7." is my favorite quote from Guillermo del Toro. I don't think there is another director with whom I so identify. Hearing him talk about movies gets me emotional and his movies really speak to me.

Europe has better food and farming regulations than the US, so I’d believe it.

I remember going to a little bodega in Spain for some eggs, and they had the most vibrant, orange yolks I’d ever seen. And fewer additives and preservatives in everything.

Better ingredients= better mayo.

Men spend so much time fantasizing about improbable, dire situations where we must be brave or protect someone that we drop the ball on the normal, everyday things that require bravery, discipline etc. You got all the guns to protect against a hypothetical intruder but wont vote for women's rights.

Minorities don’t have the luxury of apathy because their rights are voted on regularly in this country, and they are trying to kill us.

The less voting impacts you, the more privileged you are. Many white folks are only starting to realize it impacts them, too, because they felt consequences.

Assuming this regime has a strategy beyond causing chaos, disruption, fear, and violence is a mistake.

There is no masterful plan. Only fools excited to pull the levers of power.

The work to rectify your worldview and the innate narcissism and sociopathy it takes to support a man like Donald Trump is an individual task. And hopefully, when you have done the individual soul-searching and make amends for your actions, the end of that road leads you to true community.

My grandfather always used to say “The meek shall inherit the Earth” … and well, I’m starting to believe it.
