The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.

ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.

Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

Video: ICE agents drive SUV through protesters at S.F. immigration court Immigration agents clashed with protesters, who were trying to stop an arrest, in San Francisco’s most violent ICE encounter of 2025.

This is why officers are required by law to have a badge with an identifying number prominently displayed on their uniform, not an emroidered patch in the shape of a badge.

This A.I. Company Wants to Take Your Job

I love how they always assume there will be some UBI to cover those who they actively fucked out of a job, while trying to pay as little taxes as possible (like all corporations)

As the mask slips, it's grifters grifting grifters as far as the eye can see.

The old phrase, "You can't cheat an honest man", comes to mind.

How about those cheap eggs, and how he ended the war in Ukraine with one phonecall, day one?

A performance far better than another season of the Apprentice. He showed integrity, genuineness, and stamina like never before in our history. For 25 hours, Senator Cory Booker made more sense than our current President can sustain in a 90 minute speech.

With the spin re: Signal, the illusion shows the light through the threadbare fabric pulled over the eyes of the collective.

Today I found The Decline of Western Civilization part III on Amazon Prime Video.

Trump no longer needs MAGA voters, so he's gutting Medicaid and laying off veterans | Opinion Once Trump won the election and did away with his legal issues, he abandoned the 'forgotten men and women' he so sincerely promised to champion.

As an American with a soul and a spine, this administration's treatment of our allies is an embarassment.

Gödel's Loophole - Wikipedia

Shortly after WWII an Austrian immigrant found a flaw in the process of ammending the constitution, which over enough iterations could slowly turn the democratic republic into a dictatorship legally. Sound like a published 'Project'? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6...

It seems they need my basic byproducts- tea from used coffee grounds, tea from banana peels. Rice wash water soak with crushed garlic when repotting to ward off fungal disease. Enjoys steam from my moka pot.

My first orchid resuscitated is about to bloom! Now that I understand their needs better, I can see saving dying orchids becoming habit forming.

YouTube video by Senator Bernie Sanders LIVE: the H1-B program replaces good-paying American jobs

Bernie has been a member of congress long enough to have opposed the vote on NAFTA. His clear eyed take on how H1B has allowed corps to import a low wage workforce without workplace rights of citizens is sobering. Worth the listen.
