The “United” States of America has descended into authoritarianism. Your vote no longer matters. Your needs no longer met. Your voice no longer heard. A long time from now, we may emerge from the darkness with a more passionate appreciation of equality. Teach your children to teach their children.

I have no problem throwing Bill Gates, Tom Steyer and anyone else using their immense wealth to influence policy and politics onto the pile. It’s anti-democratic.

Marc Benioff is a tough one to take. He grew up here. He was one of more liberal tech corporatists. He hired kids right out of SFSU. It’s appalling how sweeping this authoritarianism has become. There’s something unreal about it.

Our heroes are out in the street, protesting. The don’t need to be celebrated, they need to be joined. Our heroes are canvassing and bringing the real issues of healthcare, wealth inequality, authoritarianism, child poverty, monopolization and more to the doorsteps of American voters. Join them!

They have their place in natural selection - not so much right now with a population of 8B people, but survival sometimes requires individualism and self preservation and sometimes collectivism and self sacrifice. So long as greed is a human condition, we’re stuck with them.

Very few names in the article beyond First Brands founder Patrick James, Joseph Ziemer of the Jefferies Investment firm and Erin Keating of a competing auto parts manufacturer giving analysis. Otherwise, unnamed bankruptcy lawyers and a judge. No board members or others involved. Very shady.

the physiological part yes, but converting their traits to code could set them up as the origins of digital “life”. Eerie.

Their brains do not develop empathy. And they are actively seeking immortality. Literally thru anti-ageing science and also thru conversion to a digital self using artificial intelligence.

Hmmm, the GOP has a choice: compromise with Democrats and resolve the issues that have shut down the government or fire workers that they consider political enemies in the name of raising healthcare costs for all Americans.

The Heritage Foundation chooses ruin upon America.

I’m disappointed that Bobby FK Jr. has a platform and power to amplify his drug-addled paranoia. I care nothing for the whores he engages with in his personal life.

It may take 30 years, but Pulte’s grandchildren will face legal retribution for this.

HHS Secretary spends his days scrolling the fringe of social media. It doesn’t give me comfort, knowing that our government treats the health of Americans as a joke.

University of California is the number one public university in the nation.

John Clarke - 2025 Nobel Prize, Physics
Omar Yaghi - 2025 Nobel Prize, Chemistry

Beside the prize money, medal and diploma, UC honors all those in its system with free, reserved parking for life.

Answering a poll is all well and good, but it’s hardly as effective as protesting where one can be seen and heard. #NoKingsProtest October 18. Care about our shared freedoms!
