πŸ’―The other site is useless. Without "paying to play." making any post on X is the equivalent of shouting into a broom closet. (A broom closet that has a special portal for bullshit, white supremacy, and AI fetishes for any suckers willing to pay).

Thank you for this. I'll never forget listening to an interview with Andreessen right after the last election where he said, essentially, that the tech moguls were all in for Trump because the Democrats had stopped worshipping them.

β€œOn this Veterans Day, I share this post with tears in my eyes as I reflect on my service to our nation and honor my fellow military members. In some pics I’m fighting for my country overseas. In others, I’m fighting for my life at the hands of the citizens I sought to protect in my own country.”

Tech Billionaire Mocks Pope Leo’s AI Warning β€” and Reveals Silicon Valley’s Original Sin A billionaire tech guru openly mocked Leo's call for moral AI β€” and quickly backtracked after backlash. It’s a telling collision of Silicon Valley hubris with a pope they cannot buy, bully, or ignore.

A tech billionaire mocked Pope Leo XIV’s call for ethical AI.

The post was deleted β€” but not before exposing Silicon Valley’s deeper discomfort: a pope they can’t buy or bully.

It also revealed something older: the Valley’s original sin β€” the desire to be God.

wise choice for the bbc to cave to bad faith hysteria from trump et al β€” as we know in the united states, once you do that, they're definitely satisfied forever and nothing ever happens to you again

Right before he turned in for the night because he’s getting up to go to work at his federal job in the morning, my husband (who has worked without pay since October 1st) said that your yes vote is utterly demoralizing. As your constituents, we are incredibly disappointed in your choice.

Just an idea for you to tweet (or whatever you use these days) 

An alternative strategy for limiting flights from major airports would be closing small (private jet) airports and sending those air traffic controllers to the main hubs.  

But that would impact private jets and that would be terrible.
