“If Bernie's Social Security Bill was enacted in 2021, Musk would have paid $2.9 billion more in taxes, Social Security would’ve been solvent for 75 years, benefits would have increased by $2,400 & 93% of Americans would have paid Zero more in taxes. The only one ‘entitled’ is Musk.” @ GunnelsWarren

I’m most upset at the right and the media but I have enough anger left over for the democrats who enabled this shit. From Obama and Clinton turning the page to Biden praising McConnell, punting on prosecuting and welcoming Trump back and Harris palling around w Cheney. All of it.

Two smaller things I appreciate here: 1. Unless I’m mistaken, there are zero cuts or edits in this? It’s the whole conversation, start to finish. 2. The addition of “or not pray at all” every single time, which a lot of candidates tend to omit.

Anyone remember Chicago Progressive Partnership, the shell group that spent big to back pro-Israel candidates in Illinois Dem primaries? It just closed up... and transferred its bank balance back to AIPAC's super PAC.

the big thing the rise of LLMs has revealed to me is that there is a not insignificant chunk of the population that considers cognition itself to be a frustrating and unnecessary burden

Also the American Revolution was not about "outworking the other guy." It was saving your energy while letting the other guy grind himself into dust and asking the French for help.

1. California Attorney General Rob Bonta and 11 other Democratic AGs had Paramount and the Ellisons over a barrel. They had secured a restraining order against the merger with Paramount and their negotiating position was about to get even stronger. Then, Bonta threw in the towel.

It's strange how Democratic Socialists - who are being denounced by both parties - turned major deficits into balanced budgets in both New York and Seattle.

Amy Sundberg@amysundberg.bsky.social

BREAKING: In Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson's new proposed city budget being released Tuesday, there is no projected deficit through 2030. Given the state of the projected deficit over the past many years, this is quite an achievement.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.
