We dream in the dark. Darkness everywhere we see. Blind to what is to come next. Fear and dread make our bed. Gentle heads slumber in the dead of night.
Do not wake me. I need to sleep deeply. I want to see what could be — dreams of democracy.

EU regulators have ruled that TikTok is too addictive because it shows a never ending stream of videos with a highly effective recommendation algorithm.
They argue this harms the well-being of users especially minors. It faces a fine of up to 6% of global revenue as this violates the DSA.

Mike Johnson is a poser. He does not believe in God or the word of Christ.

MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.
