The entire game is corruption. Ever time. I will vote for whoever takes ever cent from every billionaire and puts them all in jail.
“.. the quintessence of generic industrial meat, imported here to be subsequently processed in massive grinders that combine pieces of tens of thousands of cattle from multiple countries, mainly into fast food hamburgers.” @nytopinion.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/09/07/o...
I know a French family that had a successful business in the US for the better part of a decade. The were recently forced to leave. How does it benefit the US economy to kill successful US businesses?
Even from a purely national pride perspective, this requires you to think that the 100 year period from 1926 was a failure for the United States, instead of the zenith of its power, prosperity, and influence

I'm begging you guys Stop liking and reposting all this AI trash
For its entire modern history, Japan has been held hostage by geography. They have almost no domestic oil reserves. Every barrel that runs their industrial economy is brought in from the outside, priced by global markets they do not control. vulnerability just forced an engineering breakthrough
The cherry on top: look at effective tax rates in all those "low income tax" states They all get their revenue one way or another. Texas has no income tax but its overall tax rate is only 0.4% lower than Wisconsin according to wallethub. Effectively a wash.
WaPo making same claim that’s been disproven again & again. Who do they imagine these people are, willing to pay the price of abandoning home, friends, lives they’ve built. “Sorry, kids, we’re leaving the only home you’ve ever known & all our friends to pay 7% state tax instead of 8%.”
Constant onslaught of BS posts with AI slop misinformation on bsky These need to be tagged somehow. @bsky.app whatsup?
Evolved Chimp You can carry it onto a commercial flight as luggage. You set it down in moving water. And immediately, it generates enough electricity to power a dozen homes for five years. Germany just solved off-grid power without pouring a single ounce of concrete.
Been listening to 90s rap recently. So good. Really takes me back. Forgot about this one somehow. youtu.be/Gg5KfL-4asE?...

This is the energy I'll vote for
Ossoff: "The president was so humiliated in Hormuz he threw his toys out the stroller & refused to sign the affordable housing bill. That's after he gave some felon donor a no bid contract for the reflecting pool & it filled up with algae, which for some reason required the deployment of the Guard."
Take your country's huge head start in the most powerful technology *ever* and destroy it The most chaotic economic self-sabotage in human history.
French President Macron and Indian PM Modi raised alarms at the G7 summit that the U.S. could cut off access to American AI overnight — a fear the Anthropic blackout just made real.
I don't get posts like this. Almost like they're justifying it to themselves. For me there's no justification for using X / Twitter because of who the owner is. "I want to have fun internet conversations" shouldn't outweigh Elon Musk owning the platform where you're doing it.
i think, end of the day, the real problem with Bluesky is that most of its users are here *because* they want to be in a bubble. and they can tell themselves that it’s just about not being around Nazis it supporting Musk, and that’s part of it, but also there’s a palpable desire to be ensconced.
Guys this is by far the scariest thing happening. Trump is funding leaders of a private army of with taxpayer money. It's a turning point in history. Can't turn back from this one. It should be a pitchforks out moment. Stop all government. Block trains. Barricade doors. Do not let it happen.
REUTERS: “Enrique Tarrio, Proud Boys leader sentenced to 22 years for seditious conspiracy over the January 6, 2021 riot, said he planned to get between $2 & $5 million.” We are so far off the cliff. 🇺🇸 www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
Remember the old Nokia phones? Everything comes full circle. My parents had one of those for 10+ years. Got it when I was in high school as the "family cell phone" and my parents still used well into the 2000s.
EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027. The regulation demands “availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence”.
Guys this is what the opposition in the US needs to be doing. Go for the kill on literally every issue.
Wow, amazing stuff. Magyar's first few sentences in the Hungarian "national", "public service TV", after now they had no choice but finally to let him in, were "This lie factory is over, we will cease this lying news service that's been going on here." #Hungary
This "ebikes are getting out of hand" stupidity is like reefer madness. I have some small quibbles with scooters because they accelerate way too fast, but ebikes none at all, and most people on escooters are just calmly going from A to B, but aren't in a 2k lb death machine. Still a win.

Crazy to me that so many people live their lives like this. Is this really the impact they want to have on the world? With how awful everything else is, why add to the bad vibes? Me: Casual observation about pastries Them: you're a dumbass bitch
This may be delicious but it's absolutely not a croissant
