Greetings from Kyiv.

I opened the morning news.
russians hit a residential building in Kharkiv.
Five people were killed, among them a 1.5‑year‑old girl.

I made a warcoffee.
Damned peacemakers, peacedealers, and other peacenothings.

Zelensky wore a suit this time.

Oh honey, we’re mocking your *soul*.

Quote from a Today Show article about dogs missing their people “like children separated from their mothers.”

🥚 The same people who get sentimental about crying puppies will be the first in line to take another woman’s baby without acknowledging any emotion or loss whatsoever.

We have to reset our priorities from top to bottom.

ok but haven't we all doodled a naked girl with signature pubes for our sex trafficking friend's 50th birthday while confirming we know he does secret shit every day? come on people

If you wanna be nice to your Nazis, great. Don’t tell me what to do with mine.

Got damn

And once they have the goods, they have no incentive to keep talking to you

Hmmmm

First you lose your child to baby vultures, then you get a shit education among Nazis in training

He Had a Mental Breakdown Talking to ChatGPT. Then Police Killed Him Alex Taylor believed he had made contact with a conscious entity within OpenAI’s software, and that she'd been murdered. Then everything went wrong.

Grateful to all who’ve read and supported my AI coverage lately. This is probably the most difficult work I’ve done on the subject to date and I hope it it can be a wake-up call. My profound thanks to Kent Taylor for trusting me with his son Alex’s story.

We have always been at war with Eastasia.

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

Social Security's insolvency date is now a year earlier. Here's how it could impact your benefits. Social Security is dipping into its trust fund to pay current retirees, with spending outpacing its revenue from payroll taxes.

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS.

How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share.

I’ve got a bill to get it done.

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

Truck carrying tank after Army's 250th birthday parade kills pedestrian in DC The accident happened on the evening of June 16 while a truck was moving the tank from the parade staging area to a Maryland railyard.

my goodness. someone on new york ave was killed by a driver hauling a tank post-army parade. a woman literally died for this useless excess.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Sound familiar?

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening

historians: that thing is definitely happening

star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it

news outlets: these protesters are out of control

if it were really true that “love is what makes a family” then we could dispense with the legal fiction of #adoption and allow human beings to keep control over their identities.

Her Final Wish: A Home for the Son She Never Got to Hold (Gift Article) Chrissie Tully gave birth to a son 76 years ago in an Irish home for single mothers, shrouded in secrecy and shame. She’s still waiting for him.

🥚 A 93-yo birthmother is still searching for the son who was forcibly taken from her in an Irish maternity home 76 years ago.

Tell me again how the enforced secrecies of adoption are a good thing.

Adoption = legalized kidnapping

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today:

He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution
