The current market bubble is driven entirely by AI companies. It is 4 times bigger than the sub-prime bubble and 12 times bigger than the dot-com bubble. #staytuned

Fear has a way of being contagious.

But courage is also contagious.

Cold Reception at the White House

JD Vance and Trump unleash righteous indignation on… a penguin. Why? Because in their warped logic, destabilizing ecosystems, melting ice caps, and slapping punitive tariffs on remote islands with no human population—deserves at the very least a thank-you note.

🚨NEW: Major development.

German newspaper Der Spiegel has found phone numbers and passwords for Hegseth, Waltz & Gabbard in stolen data freely published on the internet.

‼️It includes details of Signal accounts.

“It is conceivable that foreign agents were privy to the Signal chat group.”

ChatGPT released a new image generator today. Let’s just say photographers are now screwed also, not just illustrators.

You will never believe a video or a photograph again.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1645 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "On shelves now." The headline reads "RUSSIA DEMANDS TO KEEP CAPTURED TERRITORY" in bold white text on a red background. The cover features a photograph of Russian President Vladimir Putin sitting at a desk, speaking on the phone with a smirk. A speech bubble adds dialogue, with Putin saying, "Including the White House."

Screenshot of Trump's post on "truth social". I'd rather not repeat. Go there to find it.

Disgusting. Immoral. Betrayal. Traitorous. Trump and his fascist henchmen planned to humiliate Zelenskyy. They humiliated themselves and our nation. Trump serves Putin, not the United States. He is the enemy of democracy. Will our institutional press cover fascism now?

Lots of "Very Serious People" don't want to admit what is plain and obvious and in front of our eyes and explains so much:

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are two of the most ignorant and uninformed people to ever be allowed near public office anywhere in the western world.

It's obvious to all of us.

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights.

That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion.

We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war.

Facts matter.

Anyone want to explain to me how it makes any sense that the US and Russia are trying to negotiate the end to the war in Ukraine without any sort of Ukrainian delegation?
