Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:

"If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

Tim Walz: "I always get in trouble for it and I'll continue to say it, I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it -- these are fascist policies."

Democratic Elites Blame Everyone But Themselves for Historic Collapse On the blame list: transgender people, “economic headwinds,” ontologically racist voters—anyone but the powerful people tasked with defeating Trump.

Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political.

Two genders - male, and political.

Two religions - Christian, and political.

Two races - white, and political.

Establishment figures want to downplay progressive candidates, even though we're the ones providing real solutions.

If we want to move forward as a country, we need to prioritize people over big money and corporations. That's what I'm trying to do:

Great film.

Out of the trilogy, I enjoyed this one the second most out of the three with Pearl being my favorite. MaXXXine was okay, but it definitely felt like the weakest of the three.

His last remark about "being part of the problem" when sharing AI images is one i've been saying for years. Even if you and your followers know its fake, someone out there may not.

Don't share AI images without a disclaimer.

FYI: The reason you have to pay for school supplies is because GOP-dominated states have defunded public schools. Your taxes are going to pay for tax cuts to the wealthy, while your local school has to beg for supplies.

Tempest by Atari

I am today years old when I realized that the phrase, "When you assume you make an ass out of you and me" is using that very word's letters as the joke.

I always thought it was some silly joke that didn't have a connection to the word directly.

I definitely feel dense after realizing this one haha

It may have not been meant for this purpose, but when you declare that AI can solve problems, people are going to think outside of what you intended it's use for it.

turn it off, fix it and relaunch it.

Tempe threatens to fine group providing showers to unhoused people Cloud Covered Streets uses a trailer to provide showers for homeless people. Tempe threatened to fine the group $1,500.

Tempe is so in the wrong for doing this. This service literally helps people obtain jobs that are homeless.

YouTube video by divishion Whatchamacallit commercial from the 80's

Growing up in the 80s/90s, I saw this commercial a lot.

Til this day, I still think about it. That's incredible advertising.

Also, it oozes style.
