This year feels like the first year we are talking about the real issue.

Something we’ve known for years.

It’s the billionaires.

People are beginning to get it.

The culture war was created by them to divert the real issue.

Their greed. Their absolute and grotesque greed.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

AI toys for kids talk about sex and issue Chinese Communist Party talking points, tests show New research from Public Interest Research Group and tests conducted by NBC News found that a wide range of AI toys have loose guardrails.

New! We worked with the Public Interest Research Group to test a bunch of LLM-driven toys ahead of the Christmas. That sexual talking teddy bear wasn't a one-off; it turns out disturbing behavior is deeply built into these toys across the board.

‘Architects of AI’ Wins Time Person of the Year, Sends Gambling Markets Into a Meltdown People who bet on "AI" did not win and are incredibly mad.

"The degenerate gamblers of Polymarket and Kalshi who bet that “AI” would win... are upset because the magazine has named the “Architects of AI” the person of the year."

😂

Karma for rigging a war map, or making money on bets with insider knowledge.

An upside of Time's dumb 2025 choice, I suppose.

Tweet by Heritage Foundation co founder criticizing Heritage Action threat to Indiana

The Heritage Foundation is cracking

Immigration Agents Have Often Grabbed and Mistreated Citizens, Congressional Investigators Find Prompted by ProPublica’s reporting, an investigation by Senate Democrats documented the experiences of nearly two dozen citizens wrongly detained by immigration agents, contradicting the Trump adminis...

“What most struck me is the brutality and physical violence involved in every story,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal. “This is stuff that should be unrecognizable as America. It should make everyday Americans outraged.”

the WRAP was developed by former cops from Walnut Creek, CA. It’s been involved in several deaths. Wrote about it a decade ago here shadowproof.com/2016/08/11/n...

Note: Trump's plummeting rating on the economy has pierced the crucial Darwin Threshhold...the point at which his approval rating on handling the economy (31 percent) is actually lower than the number of Americans who do not believe in evolution (33-37 percent), the once solid core of Trump support.

Oh, fuck off, Disney!

Russell Vought, Trump’s Shadow President From the wholesale gutting of federal agencies to the ongoing government shutdown, Russell Vought has drawn the road map for Trump’s second term. Vought has consolidated power to an extent that inside...

Good question, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Russell Vought came from Heritage Action. He's now Trump's shadow president, director of OMB. The Heritage Foundation is the author of Project 2025, the blueprint for white Christian nationalism.

Honestly hope it ends his career, and I’ve always like Liam Neeson.

But children are dying and becoming disabled.

Public health is gone.

The healthcare system is on its knees.

It’s unconscionable to glorify RFK Jr or peddle anti vaccine rhetoric.

Congrats to Indiana legislators for not caving to the, "It would be a shame if your restaurant burned down" threat.

A screenshot of an Embraer 145 from ICE flight contractor Key Lime Air/Denver Air Connection on a tarmac with with guards and detainees . In the lower right hand corner is a contraption with a bunch of nylon straps and metal fasteners.

A closeup of the contraption

I’ve heard from immigration attorneys that clients say ICE guards lay out the WRAP device (essentially a full-body straitjacket) on the tarmac as a threat — “do what we say or you’re getting the WRAP on the whole flight.”

Bad Internet Bills All of the bad internet bills. One website.

Congress is trying to force through mass surveillance/censorship laws THIS WEEK

BOOST THIS EVERYWHERE before it’s too late. 👇

www.badinternetbills.com

Call and tell your rep:

—NO to KOSA
—NO to Section 230 reform
—NO online digital ID laws
—NO age verification laws

I cannot begin to explain how dire and urgent this is. They’re trying to pass the most expansive censorship and surveillance laws we have seen in our lifetimes under the radar, and the MSM is going along with it, boosting these laws and villainizing trans ppl, abortion activists etc. CALL TODAY!!!!

KOSA Won’t Just Silence LGBTQ Voices; It Will Also Be Used To Hide Abortion Info From The Internet We’ve highlighted in great detail how KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act), sponsored by Senators Richard Blumenthal and Marsha Blackburn, which currently has an astounding 46 cosponsors, will be used…

These laws are to censor LGBTQ voices off the internet. The co-sponsor of KOSA, just one of the 18 censorship/surveillance laws, said we need to pass it to protect kids from “the transgender in society”. These laws will remove ALL anonymity from the internet endangering activists, journalists,etc

🚨 URGENT!!!!!! Congress is trying to ram through 18 massive censorship/surveillance laws TODAY 🚨

CALL THESE REPS NOW and tell them

—NO to KOSA
—NO to Section 230 reform
—NO to age verification laws
—NO to the SCREEN Act
—NO to digital ID laws (App Store Accountability Act)

So much easier to just use the U.S. military to steal from other countries than to actually earn it or make deals, amirite? Thanks, John Roberts, for unleashing this lifelong criminal.
