We want to avoid getting to a place where we're trained to reflexively categorize everyone as good or bad.

If people had the slightest comprehension of the danger that nuclear weapons pose to them personally, any official who suggested using them would be immediately mobbed to death by everyone in their vicinity.

Next time Trump calls a reporter "stupid," they need to ask why he sued to block his grades from being released.

Anger can be a wonderful, righteous, holy thing. But it can also make you mean if you're not careful. And when you become mean, you cease to be a person with rightful reasons to be angry, and become a person who deserves the anger of others.

You're either joined with the rest of us in opposing enshittification, or you are shit.

Giving poor people more of a govt rebate because they need it more almost kinda makes sense. Giving rich people more of a govt rebate because they paid more taxes also almost kinda makes sense. Giving everyone a flat govt rebate of $5000 makes absolutely no sense at all.

Why hasn't there been ONE major corporation who's stepped up and publicly stated that they will not hire or do business with Trump supporters?

Staying quiet on politics means STAYING QUIET. Saying, "We're not political!" is a blanket endorsement of the status quo.

White supremacists enlisting POC to do the PR legwork for them fits perfectly with their history.

Will Smith could revive his career right now with a well-timed remake of "I Think I Could Beat Up Mike Tyson."

The members of Rage Against the Machine have plenty of political views I disagree with, but they did an amazing job of keeping that out of the music. The lyrics hold up so well.

"When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak." ~ Donald Trump, Playboy magazine, March 1990

Some murderers whose rational thinking process is overwhelmed by passion will do things that in a calmer state they would never contemplate. When the storm has passed, many feel a deep regret, and wish they could undo it. Death penalty supporters, on the other hand, are cold, calculating killers.

Anyone who supports letting the government have the power to kill them is suicidal, and should be involuntarily committed.

Without the past few decades of the mindless ass-kissing of veterans of illegal, immoral wars, we would not be in this mess.

The surveillance police state mainly only works for catching criminals after the fact. Fascists have made a fatal miscalculation about how unafraid of being caught people are.

So this just happened....Google Gemini straight up lied about this Musk tweet being fake, then immediately backtracked when called out.

I'm listening to my favorite Queen album, Jazz, and I think this album would be a lot more popular if people didn't think it was a jazz album based on the title.

I was reading the U.S. Constitution, as one does, and was struck by how much their use of the pronoun "them" instead of "it" when referring to "The United States" could affect the way we think about what this country actually is.

Imagine if someone calculated that it takes exactly 3 seconds to wipe your ass, and you had to choose between finishing the wipe & getting fired or walking around with a shitty ass. That's what working at Amazon is like.

I support Germany's right to exist. However..........

The way "liberal" media talks about how perfect our election system is reminds me how prophets talk about God in the Bible. Worshipful, effusive praise. Please please please trust us! It started right after January 6, and it will be wielded like a cudgel as soon as Trump steals the election.

Trump has promised that if Republicans win the midterms, he will pay every American adult $5000 and every teen girl $50,000.

The dangers of censorship by A.I. are horrifyingly dangerous, and more people need to talk about it.

I've seen the nations rise and fall I've heard their stories, heard them all But love's the only engine of survival ~ Leonard Cohen, "The Future"

Sure consumer prices SEEM high, but compared to what our greedy, evil, warmongering, imperialistic, morally bankrupt country DESERVES to pay, they're actually extremely low.

I could never be an action movie star, because I could not go longer than 30 seconds without involuntarily wiping the fake blood off of my face.

The book Brave New World forever made me notice whenever the same phrase is mindlessly repeated by everyone, like "The rich never face consequences for anything." Can't be un-read.

Yet another reason to despise Amazon:

There is verse (Numbers 5:11-31) that clearly proves that the God of the Bible is not opposed to abortion...and every time I post it, some idiotic fellow atheist replies with some hateful comment about fairy tales without even bothering to read what it says.
