Reason #5473 why there should be no billionaires (let alone trillionaires): The Supreme Court says political contributions are free speech. Free speech isnt free speech if some people get have 758,999,990 more of it than 99% of the country.
Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.
They just lie. They just say what they want and there are no consequences, no mass media debunking, no shouts of disagreement from the crowd. It's just wild what has happened to the National political stage. It was never good, but it didn't used to be this bad.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Airbnb went from a cheap way to crash in a spare bedroom or rent a vacation house for a weekend and turned into "what if hotels openly hated you and acted like they were doing you a favor by letting you give them hundreds of dollars to stay there, and also it's more expensive"
Airbnb is banning its hosts from making guests do things like “stripping the bed, taking trash offsite, or washing and putting away dishes.” The hosts....are not taking it well: www.wired.com/story/airbnb...

Lol what? Its not an investigation about Theranos! It's half an investigative character study of Elizabeth Holmes, and half an interregation of Nathan Fielder's motive and ouvre. That IS truth. It's a little ridiculous to criticize art for not being something it was never trying to be.

After years of Republican criminality and Democratic timidity, @ryanlcooper.com argues that Democrats can’t afford to “fritter away” another majority. If they don’t establish real consequences for attacks on democracy, he warns, they may not get another chance. zeteo.com/p/this-might...
Once again, support for Israel does not mean a person is in support of the Jewish people. Many anti-semites also support Israel. It often only means that the person is anti-Palestinian. Hateful people can seem like convenient allies, but they will always turn on you at their convenience.
Last time Trump used this antisemitic slur, he said he didn’t know what it meant. Then he used it again. trib.al/wpF9Clb

Now that Steam Next Fest has started I want to remind everybody to not give games with AI any attention, to help you with this you can download this neat extension that will make it A LOT easier to filter through the slop! github.com/seeeeew/aiwa...
This guy won. AND he has some pretty dope policy ideas. I hope we hear more about this guy's reluctant political career. www.bradythecreator.com/platform
But by the time they launched their Steam page in 2025, they had added this disclosure (found using archive.org ):
I knew the name sounded familiar, so I tracked it down and apparently they tried to Kickstart the game in 2015, but were unsuccessful. At that time, the graphics look entirely human-made, obviously. It was a 3D game with 3D assets and art. www.kickstarter.com/projects/vis...

Emphasizing again that we cannot treat this as just business as usual. This is the President of the United States openly attacking an entire ethnic group.
Trump: "You go up to Minnesota -- number one place in the entire country for the sale of Mercedes-Benz. And Somalians are buying them. They come here with low IQs and no money and they get rich. Do we feel stupid? Our fraud division is getting them all."
"Only WE are allowed to do that!" said Israeli military police, adding that if the settlers had only filed the correct forms, the attacks would've been perfectly fine.
