They're scared. They've ploughed billions into AI and it's still nowhere near showing a profit. They're trying to shoehorn it into every aspect of our lives, but so much of it is useless.

That’s why AI companies do it, wait to get sued, then pay Pennie’s on the dollar to settle the suits. If they get sued. The AI industry requires oversight. It should be managed like the FDA and FCC.

And the companies know they will have oversight soon. That’s the reason for all the Trump Chaos

The entitlement is mind blowing. 🤯

No wonder chattel slavery lasted so long. In 2025, people still complain about the need to pay a fair compensation for another human’s work output. As if the creator deserves nothing but gratitude they were chosen to be used.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

As basic question from an ex-police reporter: Can some of our journalists detail the training regimen all these new federal agents receive? The lethal incompetence involving use of force and perameters of the 4A suggests they are just handed guns, masks and badges and told to go fuck people up.

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.

Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

Trump White House & Congressional GOP have reached historic levels of "drunk on their own wine." Stephen Miller sees no problem referring to federal judges—including some appointed by Trump—as "terrorists," and zero Republicans complain.

I dunno, man, seems a rather imprudent thing to do.

more and more I am convinced a good share of why Trump 2 is so much worse than before is because of what Elon did to Twitter. it's like those group chats where people gassed themselves up to join ISIS, scaled up a millionfold

Isn't the goal to avoid the scenario where the Illinois national guard and Texas national guard are pointing guns at each other?

We do what we can to point out the administration's authoritarianism before we cross the point of no return
