The AI industry doesn’t want you to know that massive job displacement is coming. They don’t want government to do anything to slow it or protect workers from it because AI leaders are planning to become trillionaires (not kidding) by destroying your jobs.

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

Wow! Phee called it like it is! Good for her.

Past Imperfect

I've learned to step lightly
into the world that couldn't
contain me

to forgive while never
forgetting, to praise
the plum tree
and the washline.

Unfinished
things rest. Words

gather dust. Loss
matters less.

Boo!

This 74 y/o woman was a fan. He wasn’t just for the metalheads. RIP, Ozzy.

Great evening! Thanks for stopping in Iowa City!

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed
Let it be that great strong land of love
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme
That any man be crushed by one above.
(It never was America to me.)

We live in a society of an imposed forgetfulness ….

I was briefed on the intelligence last week.

Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

No, Mr. President, the hour before you bombed Iran was the time for peace.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

When 15 million Americans lose their health care and plunge into personal crisis, none of them are going to give a shit about a made-for-clicks twitter fight between two billionaires arguing about who gets the bigger share of the corruption spoils.

Yum

Really? Congress votes on bills without even reading them? Our coalition read and broke it down. Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) admitted he voted for Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill without realizing it weakened federal judges’ power to hold officials in contempt.

Shine lights on it and believe it or not, play heavy metal music, they aren’t fans.

That’s courage and integrity. Both of which are lacking in 47.

Bummer.

Anyone collating a book of his gaffs? Will be a bestseller!
