In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.

What’s so annoying is that, instead of celebrating a woman who has been a tireless advocate for democratic ideals in Venezuela, we’ll be analyzing the rantings of a petulant man who is trying to destroy those ideals.

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning.
This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.

I stopped paying attention to SF politics after the Chesa recall. I figured they would eventually get back to normalcy, somehow.
But now I found out that they recalled ANOTHER elected official? What a goofy place.

San Francisco's tech billionaires weaponized recall elections against their opponents.
Now, the chickens come home to roost.
