Brilliant πŸ†

Isata Kanneh-Mason absolutely tears through Rachmaninoff’s fiendish Piano Concerto No. 3 with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

Cause and effect:

The US Government attacks AI company Anthropic because it refuses to change policy against using AI to target weapons.

The US Government goes ahead and uses AI anyway. Bombs a girls school. Kills 175 children.

Then Trump lies about it.

Gotta love a black woman who has more talent in her little finger than our low-IQ president.

After slashing federal jobs, Trump administration ramps up hiring The hiring push is unfolding under new rules designed to give the White House greater influence over the government’s 2-million person civilian workforce.

β€œWe probably have some skills that we now need to hire back, quite frankly,” Scott Kupor, the head of the OPM said... β€œThere’s no question anytime you do restructurings … sometimes you over-restructure, sometimes you under-restructure.”

β€œEvery gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”

CBS: Russia is providing intel to Iran about US troop positions.

Those of us who grew up during the Cold War & practiced bomb drills in school in case Russia attacked, have always known that Russia can't be trusted.

How Trump’s War Exposes His Lost Grip on Reality: Biographer The president is running through his playbook of usual self-soothing techniques as he enters his second week at war with Iran.

There has to be some explanation for his insane babble.

Rockets & Penises in the Persian Gulf | George Carlin | Jammin' In New York (1992)

George Carlin is always pertinent.

β€œWar is nothing but a whole lot of prick waving.”
β€œMen are insecure about the size of their dicks, so they have to go to war over it.”—George Carlin.

Trump’s warmongering explained succinctly.

I’m sure Trump anticipated all of this happening and has a great plan.

Yeah, good luck trying to convince the majority of Americans that the party who doesn’t control the presidency, senate or house is responsible for airport delays. Maybe you can give them a class on the filibuster then explain why their ICE reform request is unreasonable.

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers β€” and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

On March 8, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Six male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear

We’re still murdering people in β€œdrug boats” even as we start a new war in Iran. Six people today.

After the dignified transfer, Trump was asked if the deaths of six Americans in the war with Iran caused him to reconsider the ongoing operation.

His response: "No, not at all."

He's a sociopath who doesn't care.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill herβ€”and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?
