I've resigned myself to the fact that no matter what I do with the rest of my life, THIS is what I will be remembered for.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Trump is trying to force California to invade Oregon with our National Guard. The answer is no. Texas may do whatever crazy shit you demand, but that’s not how California rolls. By the way, Mr. President, when are you releasing the Epstein Files?

He wrote Osama Bin Laden and told him to watch out for Osama Bin Laden? And he did that one year ago, exactly one year before he blew up the World Trade Center? Can someone put Grandpa back in his straitjacket?

Trump: "Please remember I wrote Osama bin Laden exactly one year ago, one year before he blew up the World Trade Center. And I said, 'You gotta watch Osama bin Laden!' ... I gotta take a little credit."

This idea is currently destroying Hollywood. The Money people want less choice, because given choice consumers might choose to spend their money elsewhere... and why would we allow THAT?

Burt Lancaster said this was “one of the most compelling and emotionally exhausting scenes I have ever seen an actor do…” and if he said it today with an additional 32 years of filmed acting in the rear view mirror he'd probably still be right.

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

“And in this respect, I’m coming to understand the AI hype machine as part and parcel of the fascistic project. That’s not an analogy. I’m not saying AI is similar to fascism, or parallel to it. I’m saying AI is fascism.”

Eventually, fascism runs its course, just as the AI hype machine will. It's just a question of how much damage will be done before it's over.

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

I guess it would have a sort of "don't hurt me, you made me do this" quality if the people who say it ever DIDN'T say it when they were being supposedly truthful.😂
