Retired from a lifetime of writing anything and everything, all signed by someone else. Now I write only in my own voice. Public libraries, hungry kids, movies and music, healthcare and objective truth matter. I live in a scam nation, but not forever.
The obvious fallacy that anything “tech” is better for society and the economy is such obvious BS at this point.
Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

The day I felt most free: Some friends and I in high school wrote a comedy revue ala SNL our senior year. One sketch featured a guy (me) in a gorilla suit as a bachelor on Dating Game. I wore the suit all day, and every inhibition I had disappeared. Even went hitchhiking in it. Highly recommend it.

I notice on here that any time someone posts an appeal for a federal tax boycott on Bluesky, commenters immediately change the subject. Until we have the courage of our convictions, we will not be rid of this regime.

The whole boat shooting lie boils down to one thing: They don’t want interviews with survivors who say, “I’m just a fisherman.”

Today the oligarchs, gangsters & swindlers think they have the upper hand. To them, the Christian nationalists are just pawns they play to fix elections, provide foot soldiers. But next-gen leaders-Vance, Miller, Vought, Fuentes-are real neo-Nazis and they’ll be as fanatical as the Taliban.

I was just asking myself, why don’t the people of Russia rise up against the dictator ruining their country and stealing their freedom? Then I asked myself, is some old dope like me over there asking the same question about us?

If the President intentionally lied when taking the Oath of Office - if he knew he intended to break constitutional law - was that a criminal act? And because he began taking the Oath before he was officially President, does that mean he would not be protected by Presidential immunity? Just asking.

Now that RFK Jr. has revised the CDC website to connect autism to vaccines, I wish he would provide more information on how to balance our four humours and which animal parts combine with specific prayers to relieve extreme pain.

It’s all about elections integrity now. No one can defend this sociopathic ignoramus anymore and even his own party is sick of him. Get on your election committee, sign up as a polling place volunteer, join groups driving people to the polls and protecting polling sites. A fair vote means he’s gone.

Right now on Tuesday at noon there are 13 news stories on the FoxNews site before a mention of the Epstein vote, and their only story is how Mike Johnson will vote. One of the stories above it reports how Bill Maher told Patton Oswalt progressives live in a “Bluesky bubble.” Right.

Trump is about as big a populist as Louis XVI. But he is a grifter, a con artist who tells the chumps whatever they want to hear to help him rob them blind.

This is completely on the Republican members of Congress now. We know that a child rapist is President, and that he has used his position to enrich his family beyond all legal bounds, and has betrayed the Constitution and endangered every aspect of our security.
Either he goes, or they go.

They say they want to send the homeless to “treatment camps.” This is their favorite way to transfer government dollars to their Mar-a-lago friends - keep building prisons and concentration camps. Did the Times ask about that? Don’t bother looking. No, they didn’t.

A long time ago a beautiful young woman who lived two floors below me was looking through my records, obviously unimpressed. Then: “Oh, Neil Young! Lots of Neil Young. Me, too.” She smiled. We’ve been married 42 years now. Happy 80th Birthday, Neil, and thanks!

Trying to remember where that part is in the Bible where Jesus says “the racist tech bros will inherit the earth, because they learned to code as kids and they are really good at lying to shareholders.” Or maybe Jefferson said that?
