If there’s no afterlife, the well-being of others isn’t just a moral duty; it’s a way to honour the fleeting time we all share.

It's not atheism that is nihilistic, but (belief in) eternal life!

I don’t want to vote for a Democrat who promises to get Trump’s voters to vote for them. I want a Democrat who wants to put Trump in prison

ALERT 🚨

The Democrats in the House Oversight created a dashboard for the public to document any misconduct from ICE and CBP or other federal enforcement agency. These will be used to prosecute them when we regain power.

Tech companies realised they could make fortunes from monetising human attention on social media platforms that caused serious social problems. The fear is that profit maximisation in the age of AGI could result in far greater adverse consequences.

Again, we should have stopped this wildly unethical, corrupt, & almost certainly illegal nepotism all the way back in 2017, when Ivanka Trump was representing the US at international conferences alongside Christine Lagarde. An entirely different set of rules & norms just for this One Special Boy.

I’d rather question why is Kushner there and why is he laying out a vision? We did not vote him into any gov position nor the senate we voted for has approved his candidacy.

This isn’t a grey zone anymore, it’s 50 shades of grey.
Sergiy Kyslytsya M @SergiyKyslytsya X.com It's been a good start of the ongoing meeting. Very engaging and so far constructive. Warm atmosphere, conducive to potential progressive outcome. Great leadership of@marcorubio. As in Geneva I appreciate the attitude of @jaredkushner, and how he lays out a vision.

NEW: Over 50,000 people attempted to block the founding convention for the new youth org of the far-right AfD party on Nov. 29 in Gießen, Germany. Wide-ranging actions-including 19 blockades around the small city-prevented a majority of participants from attending. Police violently beat blockaders.

It’s getting real for Home Depot. The flash mob is only the warm up, the nationwide boycott hits on November 27th.

My shelves are overflowing with books. My closet can't fit any more clothes, most of which I haven't worn in years. My attic is filled to the brim.

All of the Black Friday shopping deals remind me that I'm drowning in stuff. Are you?
Do we really need more stuff?

—: My Littleness :— Two pinholes in the curtain . . . My eyes; Two weeds flapping forlornly in a field of corn . . . My hands. And in the distance like a foghorn blowing . . . My heart. I am no bigger than mountains, Or mightier than stars, The sphinx smells of me familiarly, Daisies touch lips with me . . . I shall be dust soon.

Marjorie Taylor Greene came into Congress in 2021 worth about $700,000. She leaves five years later worth around $25,000,000. 😳 Congress is just a giant insider-trading scheme.

THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.
