Zelensky lands in Miami. Not a single US official is on hand to greet him. In the language of diplomacy this send an unequivocal message of coldness and hostility. Compare it with the lavish pomp and red carpet shown to Putin when he landed in Alaska a few weeks ago.

They're enabling creepy lonely men to create submissive "AI companions" that can be modeled on whatever real-life woman they're obsessed with and made to do whatever they want and, Jesus Christ, I need to wash my hands just typing that.
"And I never say no"
We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.
We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

With all this talk of how to end Russias war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind:

If Russia ceases firing. the war will cease to exist.

I understand that kitchen table issues are big factors in voters' perceptions. And the Epstein files are significant, as they should be. But - I have to tell you - IMO - listening to Trump speak to and paraphrase Putin - there's nothing else that shouts his unfitness as loudly.

Feel like it’s important to note here that SCOTUS’s only job here is setting the floor.
If future Fed admins don’t want to let this happen, they can put it in the contract.
And if POTUS won’t do that, Congress can pass a law that requires pay.
This is a case that is easy to negate SCOTUS on.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Of all the examples of people dying because somebody inexperienced was in charge, the biggest, most horrifying was Elon Musk and DOGE. No idea what AID did, didn’t care, blew it up and at least 600,000 people died unnecessarily as a consequence. Mass murder out of ignorance and bias. Thanks, Elon.
the very last person who should be prattling on about the dangers of inexperience is the grifting troglodyte who killed millions when he was put in charge of “efficiency”
