ICE agent called woman “bitch” before he shot her seven times. She was not brandishing a weapon as they claimed. Why won’t they release his name? Don’t let them provoke you. Record everything you can safely.

I would really like to see the Toronto Blue Jays and the L.A. Dodgers in the World Series.

If both teams make the WS, I'd hope Newsom and Carney would place funny bets to remind Americans of lost harmony between Canada and California.

I love California. I love Canada. I love American Resisters.

I hope you get it repaired before the day is done, in other words, they don't have to come back tomorrow. Good luck.

Zach Bryan signed up for the Navy at age 17 and served 8-years.

He's a rarity, also, because he writes his own songs and lyrics, unlike the cookie cutter lame-os such as John Rich (Big & Rich), Jason Aldean, Morgan Wallen, Luke Grimes, etc., who rely on the Nashville songwriter machine.

One should assume, if one had not already, that every single thing the GOP has to say about pretty much anything is a lie or fabrication.

Time to uncork this vintage meme again and add it to what Keubiko just posted. I'm stealing your best shitpost today, Keubiko. If you top this one before midnight, I would consider it two grand slams in one game, and of course I will steal that gameball right out of your glove.

Add another glitch to the barbie: His Nibs, Elon Musk,and his xAI Memphis data center incinerating $Billions in a circle jerk with Tesla/Xitter? He's also breaking laws by using 30 gas turbines to feed his LLM's electricity needs when he was only licensed for 13.

The maths say yes. The reality is xAI has no credible business model but needs $10s of billions in burn per year just to keep up with Altman on a LLM while $GOOG will be giving (a superior one) away for free. $TSLA raising $50B-$100B while merging with xAI is the end game here. Or similar. IMO.

To understand how wealth at the billionaire level works, Collins breaks it down into four parts:

1) getting the wealth,
2) defending the wealth,
3) political capture
4) hyper-extraction.

#WealthInequality #Oligarchy

In his new book Burned by Billionaires, inequality researcher Chuck Collins argues that the system that perpetuates wealth inequality is purposely opaque to most Americans.

* 10% of the population owns 93% of stock market wealth.
