Rabid. They are all rabid and there are many cures.

Rabid racist right wing paid propagandists.

Call them by their true names.

AI is a dumb idea. In fact, its artificial! The real thing is so much better.

AI is IP theft of the many for the enrichment of the few.

The tech industry needs to dismantled and regulated for more reasons than this. It spawned Musk, Theil, Sacks, Yarvin and their entire cohort.

I agree and would add that I’m an atheist and think the policy of shooting an unarmed citizen who isn’t doing anything wrong is immoral, unethical and illegal.

Fixed it for you.

…“right-wing propaganda” celebrate and call protests an “insurrection”.

There is Country and Alt-Country music, and then there is Pop Country. There was and there is a difference.

Raider @iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social · 1d

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

This is unprovoked assault and is not legal.

Without provocation, masked federal agents indiscriminately shoot peaceful protesters with rubber bullets from the rooftop of the Portland ICE facility.

Venal turncoat without integrity who whose wife is from South America votes to murder South Americans.

This is good.

Zach Bryan, one of the biggest stars in country music, has been criticized by DHS over a new song in which he sings about immigration raids by Ice.

This is worth reading and especially if you are an elected or hope to be elected representative.

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

New from me:
newrepublic.com/article/2014...

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

I have 4 macbooks now. They all function, but 3 are obsolete because of "improvements" in hardware or software technology I did not need or ask for.

The move to everything "in the cloud" and subscription based is not good for the user.

The entire tech industry is due for a reset.

Trump "We have an Insurrection Act for a reason. If I had to enact it, I'd to that ... if courts were holding us up or governors or mayors were holding us up, sure, I'd do that."

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.

On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...
