"Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness?
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul."
Bob Dylan

One person or company cannot continue to amass resources until there are no more resources. Like a balloon overfilled with air, eventually the system ruptures. Equilibrium is reestablished, but it's not the same system anymore

Why agentic AI creeps out women: because it's written by bros for bros who want Stepford Wives, and conveys that vibe: commercial AIs are fine-tuned to perform as cheerfully submissive handmaids, not working partners:

This is one of the most heart-breaking & important articles I have ever read - from someone whose voices are so rarely heard, a teenaged girl.

A son of sharecroppers, a Freedom Rider, a moral force in Congress, John Lewis taught us that democracy is not a state, it is an act. When we see injustice, we do not look away. We get in good trouble. And we build bridges despite adversity. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Congressman.

Beware the snuggling greyhound
When they wriggle & settle against you so sweetly.
You think they just want cuddles & a scratch on the head
But inch by inch, innocently executed stretches slowly but steadily push you right off the bed.
You, as well.

ICE is destroying public safety, due process, and community well-being, leaving sickness and death in their wake.
Maybe it's also about power. Just ask an avid 2A enthusiast to explain the difference between precision and accuracy. Why worry about that when you can just shred your target with an AR-15?
