Be kind to each other. We have a special community here. Intelligent conversation between like minded people. A mutual support network for many of us. Let's always keep it that way no matter how frustrated we get and even if we have small differences from time to time.

I’m in Australia watching America & I need to say this plainly. The problem is not the lawyers, judges, journalists, protesters, teachers & public servants. The problem is the billionaires, the media, the churches & the tens of millions of voters who looked at the future MAGA cruelty & chose it.

The cage fighting arena on the White House lawn is so so tacky. The people's house is now a strongman spectacle. Domination porn for people who mistake cruelty for strength. Public office turned into personal branding. That is not patriotism. That is what decline looks like when it has sponsors

In March the American government payed a French company Total Energies $928 million to abandon plans to build a wind project off New York and another one off North Carolina. America is now actually paying huge money to actively hasten the destruction of the planet

Kid Rock & Vanilla Ice are on for Trump's 250th concert. Beautiful, wonderful names for singers! The $250 notes with his name on them are printed. Congratulations America! Now rip up everything and start again. Literally nothing in your laws, constitution or system of government is serving you.

Toshifumi Suzuki the genius behind 7 Eleven since 1974 has just passed aged 93. He focused on 2 things and 2 things only. "Adapt to change. Listen to the customer." 80,000 stores. It is the largest convenience store chain on earth

Look at all the exciting stuff you are missing on X. Trending in travel? Tesla! Trending in Australia? - Elon! Finance and business? Bitcoin! Which Elon Musk just announced he has held on to 130 biliion worth of. How exciting right?

I made a startup from 2012 to 2017. A social network. It cost around $500,000 and we had 64 in our team. Now I am remaking it with just 3 people and $20,000. Have you checked recently how cheap it is to build a business now? What would you make?

Thanks Clay will check out the recent posts by these folks. Love from New Zealand to Mexico!

I just realized that almost every Americans have given up on wresting back any power or influence from their politicians. All other countries are fully invested in multi party government but Americans seem resigned to a 2 party dictatorship forever. It is quite pathetic really I am sorry to say

As soon as you add a 3rd party to the mix the other 2 have to collaborative and promote unity. No more gerrymandering or secret deals. Huge win for the public and why nearly every country has more than 2 parties nowadays

The world continues to watch in amazement at how America embraces their citizens murdering each other. America’s only responses to the endless gun incidents are to have thoughts and prayers and of course to have more guns.

Trump cannot possibly be on the Epstein list until he agrees he is on it. Otherwise it never happened. Just like all the other crimes that have somehow been conveniently forgotten about somehow. He can get any journalist, judge or comedian he does not like fired. That is America in 2025

For all of you hoping that Trump is forced to resign or retire be careful what you wish for. Steve Bannon complains about Trump being a moderate. Vance will be much worse than Trump. Efficient and ruthless

This explains but does not in any way excuse a lot of the terrible behavior. Elon Musk took ketamine so frequently it caused bladder problems and traveling with a daily supply of approximately 20 pills. Also took mushrooms and ecstasy says report

So a summary. Trump will cut taxes to rich and increase the US debt by $3.8 trillion. He will also increase spending on military and deportations. Cuts targeted to hurt the environment and poor and sick people.

Surely the biggest worry is that 2 judges actually ruled that these outrageous deportations were fair and legal? Think he can't expand the Supreme Court to 15 and then find 6 judges who will support anything he does? He could do it by Monday.

We just smashed the record. Over 430 ppm now. C02 levels are rising at record pace. This level will determine our weather for May 2040. Every ppm over 350 is doing permanent damage to our planet in various ways. Will soon be nothing but wind and rain for most places but drought for the rest.
