Remember to celebrate Christmas the Biblical way by tossing down the powerful, lifting up the lowly, and filling the hungry with good things to eat.

"And Mary said...He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He has brought down the powerful from their thrones and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty."

I wanted to figure out what changed between the DOJ's initial Epstein Files Vol. 8 document dump (which they quickly pulled) and the version they replaced it with.

Trump’s America.

It could happen to anyone.

Daily reminder that the underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.
Anyway, AI has already stolen friends’ work, and is going to put other people out of work.

I do not think a political party that claims to be the party of workers in this country should be using it. Even for just a silly joke.

"What's behind the pullback on policy and why is Canadian progress on tackling climate change so slow? Put simply, it’s because climate action threatens the profits of the fossil-fuel industry, and they’ve spent the past 50 years doing everything they can to prevent it."
Fossil-fuel propaganda is stalling climate action. Here’s what we can do about it.

NEW — Based on the aired ‘60 Minutes’ CECOT segment, several of Bari Weiss’s stated reasons to stop the story are inaccurate.

She said the segment did not present the admin’s argument for deporting people to CECOT. It does.

She said the segment did not detail deportee criminal histories. It does.
New: Months before Bari Weiss pulled the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, her outlet The Free Press was joking about the megaprison Trump has lawlessly deported people to.

"The hottest campaign spot…the new Jeffrey Epstein jet…the place to see and be seen."

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power
