Nice to see South Park still spitting some real fire.

Mind blowing thought from Kevin Kelly.

“Henceforth, it may be quicker to generate a movie than to watch one; quicker to co-create a historical novel than to read one; faster to co-make a video game than to play it. This shifts the center of gravity away from consuming to generation in a good way.”

If you were alive in the 1980s, this is among the most wonderful & truly incredible things you have ever witnessed in your lifetime.

Kamala Harris campaigned on making home care part of Medicare, which would’ve greatly eased the issue of caring for our parents.

But Trump won so we not only didn’t get that, we’re getting devastation of nursing homes as well.

This is going to ruin a lot of families.

Narratively speaking, the tightest ending to this screenplay is probably the freed J6 protestors storming the White House to demand the release of the Epstein files.

If I were a hero I think I would probably not be happy to know that my name had replaced another guy’s entirely because the secretary of defense hates gay people

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

HOLY SHIT
