If you make $100,000 a year (not bad), it will take you 10 MILLION years to earn a trillion dollars.

If you make a million dollars a year (wow!), it'll still take you a million years to earn a trillion dollars.

Tax the rich.

I have to admire the dedication of this pilot and presumed Maryland football fan. Dude is determined to watch the game vs. Indiana from above. Checked the activity log and they have been circling at 2,000 ft for the entire game so far as of halftime.

The funny thing about this Murderbot quote is that I feel like augmented humans on the distant future would be like CrossFit people - they just can’t stop talking about it.
I’d have to pretend to be an augmented human, and that would be a strain. I’d have to change, make myself do things I didn’t want to do. Like talk to humans like I was one of them.

A short history of white welfare.
I've seen so many people online using the government shutdown as an opportunity to demonize people who receive SNAP benefits, WIC and any kind of government assistance.

Here's the thing:

I agree with those people.

We need to end the WHITE welfare state

BECAUSE welfare works.

TIL there is a United Bodegas of America.
In so many ways, the vibrancy of our city can be judged by the health of our bodegas.

That’s why I’m so proud to be in the Bronx this morning to accept the endorsement of the United Bodegas of America.

@sodrock.bsky.social - thought you ought to see this one.
Commentary: A new study shows that national security professionals are often overconfident, frequently wrong in their judgments, prone to false positives, and resistant to self-correction.
Feeling confident? Think again — you’re probably wrong.
A study finds that overconfidence by many national security experts “was so extreme that it essentially canceled out the knowledge that these individuals possessed.”

They're never going to finish it. The point is to pocket private donations and then leave it rubble.

A small human (3?) has gotten a hold of a GIANT ball of fairy floss.
Holding it in the air, she stares down all who approach with a glint in her eye.

There is no valid reason to conduct a live fire exercise where you fire artillery shells into the ocean. Zero training value.
Heads up, California.

CHP just announced that a stretch of I-5 will be closed Saturday, October 18, for a military event at Camp Pendleton.

The freeway will stay shut until it’s over, and yes, they’re planning to fire live rounds over the highway.

What could possibly go wrong?

Petite bourgeoisie = owns the means of production but is less than 6 ft for men / 5'7 for women / 5'10 for enbies. I don't make the rules, Lenin did
