Leviathan

“For years to come, there are many people on the right, in the media, and voters at large who are going to have to explain and justify how they fell into the trap of supporting Donald Trump.” — Marco Rubio, 2016

This is my "Vodka of Celebration" I'm keeping at my desk. I will break it out for a toast at key milestones of Russia's inevitable collapse. #UkraineWillWin #RussiaIsCollapsing #GoodDeed

I've been seeing A LOT of anti @jackieelward.bsky.social (for California state assembly #AD12). This has convinced me: Big Money and Very Special Interests really really don't want her to win. Therefore she has my vote: let's stick it to the oligarchs!

Somewhere in the world...

An interview with Chuck Collins, who gave away his half-a-million-dollar trust after being exposed to the violence caused by economic systems and has spent the past 40 years advocating for a more moral economy. sojo.net/magazine/dec...

Every Billionaire is a Policy Failure.

Omg! I love Tom The Dancing Bug! Here is yet another kickstarter to join.

Every Billionaire is a Policy Failure. Tax them to extinction.

This one wins a #DarwinAward. He poisoned himself with ivermectin before he fathered any children.

Every Billionaire is a Policy Failure. With proper policies we wouldn't have to exist with the likes of Howard Lutnick.

"Our thoughts go out to the sharks at this difficult time."

Ruskkiy Mir.

I've been repeating the mantra: "Every Billionaire is a policy failure". Meanwhile here is a policy proposal that would help solve the problem.

Many talks of possible ceasefire in Ukraine. It is for Ukrainians to decide what they will accept. Instead I want to focus on what it means for us in europe/us/the world. A thread. 🧵

Do you remember when I sounded the alarm "Russian broken 7k ton fertilizer ship that visits key strategic locations is a bad idea. It takes only some oil to make it a floating bomb." Guess what, parts of the cargo was contaminated with fuel oil and the rest is heading for Newcastle.

Why SwearSky? Holy shit you motherfucking cocksuckers! This damn site is fucking amazing, no bullshit. Don't be a chickenshit asshole about it, dumbass, just check this shit out. Bloody hell, it's interactive too: click on a floater to navigate to the dick joke or whatever the fuck they were saying.

#Fellas, #NAFO, a well known scammer from the other place arrived a couple hours ago. Several of you are already following them. Unfollow and block!! #ThisIsTheWay

Orienting in this madness is confounding. But this is, of course, not incidental. Active measures as part of hybrid warfare are opportunistic and often foment existing, local phenomena with ‘centrifugal’ potential.

3) The Musk-Ramaswamy thing is not a cabinet department and can't be without an act of Congress. It is at most an advisory committee, and those are usually a way to sideline complainers and ignore them. PUSH BACK!

Welcome to all the #NAFO refugees from Twitter. I created my own starter pack to help you get oriented. go.bsky.app/GrW9HqR

Why is this the first I've heard of Lake Karachay: the world's most radioactively polluted open-air location? Unsurprisingly it is in Vatnikistan. Russkiy mir is a rash of pustules on the surface of the planet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Ka...

Disappoint a billionaire. Vote.

I watched this classic _Last_Week_Tonight_ episode again and was reminded: the US needs a federal anti-SLAPP law to discourage assholes like Bob Murray from filing frivolous lawsuits: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN8b...

"Taco trucks on every corner"... unfortunately hasn't happened yet. It is going to be a long walk to the nearest taco truck today.

As the PlayTyperGuy (aka @ser1897.bsky.social) points out "...[Vance] can't seriously claim the [couch fucker] accusation offends his dignity when he willingly shares a presidential ticket with an adjudicated rapist who bragged about assaulting women." www.playtyperguy.com/p/why-jd-van...

Space-based solar power is one of my "favorite" bad ideas. It is almost as infeasible as "colonize mars".

The wealth discrepancy between a few oligarchs and the rest of the world will continue to grow until we collectively do something about it. Every billionaire is a policy failure.

I've had this emotion many times.

This is one of my favorite examples of how unfit Trump was for the office of President of the US.

I'm feeling a little sorry for Juliet Jeske @decodingfoxnews.bsky.social after listening to her podcast about FOX's coverage of Trump's guilty verdict. "Part of my misunderstanding of this case is I have to watch a ton of FOX news for my job and they don't explain it well at all."

That is a good political cartoon. But I would like to see it redone with Lady Liberty replaced by Lady Justice.

Every Billionaire is a policy failure, however failures can be fixed by introducing appropriate policies.

Half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food and housing costs. A third of the workers have had to rely on at least one government assistance program. Amazon's stock hit an all time high in April. Jeff Bezos is now worth $203 billion. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Remember: every billionaire is a policy failure.
