It’s time to put this myth in the bin where it belongs.
Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Time to hold the purveyors of AI accountable.
Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.
OpenAI faces 7 lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide, delusions
OpenAI is facing seven lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide and harmful delusions even when they had no prior mental health issues.

It is all very dubious. I think Australians need to be aware of what their politicians represent particularly if church, corporations and other nations are involved. Time to be informed and involved in politics before we are swept up in Trumpian shenanigans.
"It is tricky to determine whether Andrew Hastie’s Fundamentalist Christianity or his global networking with Trumpist forces should worry Australians more"

If Andrew Hastie becomes Liberal leader, says @lucyham.bsky.social, it will be for "the Christian Nationalist and ethnostate faction". #auspol
Murdoch’s culture warriors are interlinked with the Atlas Network & national conservatism more and less officially. Rita Panahi is pushing Atlas partner affiliate Jacinta N Price with natcon-ish Andrew Hastie as a ticket. This is part of Murdochista’s job. #Auspol open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Money to prop up the regime in Argentina. No problem. Trump also wants to pay himself $230 m from government coffers for his own hurt feelings. He is more than fine however to let the American people go hungry.
Being on SNAP benefits for 17 years, I've NEVER been told I wouldn't be paid my benefits. NEVER. What is going on is BEYOND cruel. The ppl w/disabilities, ppl w/chronic illnesses & cancer, seniors already isolated, the 16M hh's w/children. WE REFUSE TO BE A NUMBER. WE ARE PEOPLE. WE DESERVE DIGNITY.

I have zero expectations for LNP - and they exceed those expectations every day.

I did however have some expectations for Labor - and I now feel completely betrayed.

I truly didn’t think they would be this bad.

Could and should be so different 😞😞 #auspol

This outrageous payday for Musk shows us where our future is headed.
Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

Can journalists stop labelling politicians like Hastie, Joyce, Canavan, and Antic as "conservative".

They are the opposite:
radical right misogynist ideologues following American christo-fascist campaigning to strip women [and anyone else who isn't a straight white man] of their rights. #auspol

America needs more of this. The establishment is no longer fit for purpose.

I hope America is ready to reclaim their country from the oligarchy but I fear they won’t be able too. Too many politicians are in their pockets.
We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.

A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

On the eve of his second election — on October 31, 1936 — FDR delivered his coup de grace, explaining the stakes in his fight with the moneyed interests.

Today’s economic royalists are backing Trump, and the fight is much the same.

So the government trough is full for the wealthy.
The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.
