Brave on the outside

Is AI inherently bad? Of course not.

The question is: WHO controls it & for what purpose?

Does anyone believe that the richest people on Earth are investing hundreds of billions in AI to improve life for ordinary people, eliminate poverty & solve global warming?

I doubt it.

And he didn’t even bring a golden trinket.

Mamdani really has the secret sauce.

“Sinners”

Your link goes to an article about a glyph that was discovered that unlocks a key to the Mayan Calendar.
Oh - and it’s in Spanish.

Bondi, Patel, et al were the perfect marks for the consummate con man. Trump played on their greed & thirst for power. They have now lied & run interference for him so they see that their necks are on the line.
He destroys everyone who works for him in one way or another. They should’ve known better

I’m am trying to wrap my brain around why Mike Johnson is so unwavering in his attempts to keep the public from knowing what is in the Epstein investigation files.
Is the Project 2025/Christian Nationalist agenda really so urgent that he’ll hang his ass out?
Or is Trump blackmailing him somehow?

Trump nodding along sagely thinking, “Yes. Yes! Who amongst us hasn’t killed an inconvenient man?”

I have a 40-yr-old who is 100% dependent.
The paperwork, the red-tape, the constant fear of supports being revoked leaving you to scramble once again.
And above all, what happens when I can no longer do it for her? What happens when I die?

I guess it shouldn’t be shocking how & why our true history was glossed over in the telling. But it does our nation & it’s citizens no favors when the truth is hidden.
Ken Burns has done a fantastic job. If we truly understand our past, perhaps we can move forward with a better future.

Johnson bought Trump & Bondi enough time to scrub his mentions & release a new ‘investigation’
So they have the ’active investigation’ excuse as well as files that are very likely cleaned up for Trump’s sake.
So the Reps know it’s safe to vote yes now. They get a clean reputation & nothing happens.

The kid has spunk. I would have struggled to keep from giggling.

Recently I was playing a board game with my grandkids when the 6 year old - feeling the pressure to make a decision said, “Just let me cook.” I nearly lost it.

The problem with believing the women is that we know that Epstein, Maxwell & Trump have all successfully threatened their victims. If I were one of the women involved I would be scared to speak up for fear I would end up dead or destroyed financially by lawsuits.

I watched Mr Rogers with my kids when they were growing up but I never saw this episode.
I was privileged to grow up with a father who was similarly kind and patient, especially with children.
I miss both those men.
The world needs more of them.

Impressive

This is why victims don’t come forward, especially if they are children. They fear that the adults will take the side of the offender.
It’s an uncomfortable truth that there are too many Megyns out there.
This is what molesters rely on-pick a victim with less clout, disadvantaged girls are perfect.

This might be a good time to remind people of this situation.
It will give you all a very good idea of why so many people are willing to cover up for Epstein. Too many people in high places involved. The video is rough.

I haven’t watched network/cable television since 2018.
But after reading the responses I’m triggered.
It’ll take me days to get rid of all the ear worms.

Good god, it’s contagious.

My upstairs neighbor went out walking his dogs dressed like this yesterday. I’ve seen this for a number of years now so I didn’t even bat an eye. It’s just what we do now.

Are they baggy shorts made out of super thin fabric worn with socks and slip-on sandals below? Because if not - Missouri sees you and raises you an ‘Ope!’

The Bernie supporters I know voted for Hillary & Biden in the main elections despite their dissapointment.
The same people who accuse ALL Bernie supporters of handing the election to Trump by not voting for Hillary are the same people who ignore the fact that more ‘PUMAs’ refused to vote for Obama.

I’m guessing it was about air travel.
Threatening to withhold food from people who need assistance - yeah, we can handle that.
But inconveniencing business and holiday travel for those who can afford to fly - that’s a hard line. No can do.

Exactly.

And the main stream media - owned by what? A half dozen corporations? Piled on hard against Mamdani just like they did with Bernie. But this time it didn’t work. So I’m encouraged.

300 characters is not enough to illuminate the issue.
And quite honestly I don’t have the emotional energy to try & explain it all from scratch at this late date.
If you really want to know, you can start digging into it online.
If you just want to bat around a stranger online, I’m not your girl.

It’s an exhausting argument because most people never knew what happened and bought into the ‘Bernie Bro’ narrative.
I quietly know the truth and with rare exception I just have to accept that most people don’t want to hear or believe it.
But I feel ya.

It’s become impossible to call out this administration without sounding hyperbolic.

How are right wingers still okay with *gestures broadly* all of this? Does nothing break through, ever?

Having your finger to the wind isn’t the same as having a moral compass.
She goes as the wind blows.

From your lips to God’s ears.

I’ve gotten to the point that I don’t enjoy the feeling of hope because it’s painful to keep seeing it dashed over and over again.

And yet I dare. I can’t help myself.

I wish I didn’t live in Missouri because it’s still shit here but tonight has me daring to hope for the country as a whole.

Ha! I know this guy from his piano videos.
He always make me laugh.

Anyone who pays attention knows that to cut fraud you have to investigate & prosecute the fraudulent billing committed by health care providers.
This is the same made up ‘welfare queen’ argument that Reagan brain washed the public to believe in during the 80’s repackaged for the 2020’s.
