I am thinking about this regularly, and also the timing of the announcement.
We don't talk enough about Donald Rumsefld admitting that the Department of Defense 'lost track' of $2.3T on 9/10/2001.
We should probably be a society that talks about that more.

It's silly to get mad at people because they don't want to waste their time gently explaining universal health care to you. They assume--probably correctly--that you already understand it and just don't agree with it! What you want is to be respected despite that view, and, well...

It would have been helpful for the Biden DOJ to have released this information during the 1,460 days of his administration.
Perjury. Contempt of Congress. Lying to the public. It’s all there in the files.
Documents show that federal investigators knew of at least 10 co-conspirators.
Why were they never prosecuted? Why is the Admin shielding their names? Why did they lie to Congress? We will get to the bottom of this.

Interesting post Department of Labor. Why don't we check in to see how James Truslow Adams ended the 1931 book in which he coined the term "American Dream?"

Oh dear, how awkward...the guy who coined the term "American Dream" gave the last word of his book to a young immigrant girl & said the main lesson of his day was that people who'd amassed great wealth were not "the wisest leader to follow nor the best fitted to propound a sane philosophy of life."

Something not talked about as much as the right wing's dismantling of democracy is what they've done to the supposedly sacrosanct market system. It's not good to let a dozen morons have all the money and make all the decisions!

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

If we don't rip this ideology out, root and branch, it will metastasize and keep returning in ever more dangerous forms.
This is is happening because we abandoned Reconstruction. It's happening because the same ghouls from the Nixon and Reagan administrations are still calling the shots.

Our so-called opposition party can't afford to be cute or coy with what's happening here. It's not just naked corruption, it's ethnic cleansing, treason, atrocities, with naked corruption threaded through it.

It's important to note for the consultant people: Kat is tied for first place, she's raised more money in this race than anyone else, and she hasn't used Twitter in months.
It's a website filled with racist AI snuff films and it's rigged against you specifically. There's no good reason to use it.

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

Worked in occupational safety until recently. Asked an LLM to select respirator cartridges for different toxic vapors. It got it right about 90% of the time - which means it would have poisoned workers 1 time in 10.
In any field where you have to be right every time, LLM/AI is worse than useless.
